I disagree completely. She makes valid points and when you give her more than 2 seconds to speak or if you actually listen vs coming in with your mind already made up about her you'll see that she makes a lot of sense. Clearly she's saying that the media focus on the more tabloid style issues means they are not only taking their eye off of the ball when it comes to actual things happening for real. I have no doubt he colluded with Russia, I have no doubt that Russia wanted him to win but spending every newscast and talking heads show talking about it when the Mueller report hasn't been completed yet is silly.

So Trump is doing everything he can to prove he isn't a Trump puppet? Do you have any examples of that because I sure as hell can't think of any..

How can someone with almost no support think they can win a Democratic primary by blaming those who want to investigate Trump's Russia ties and blaming both sides for the shutdown?

While I agree a lot of the media focus on garbage issues, ie what gets the clicks, her tweet is complete bs. Trump loves to trip on his own mushroom and then "fix" an issue and then claim everyone is still out to get him. He did this with North Korea telling them he was going to bomb the hell out of them and play tough guy, then turned around and had talks that went absolutely nowhere. But because he didn't take us into war he won! In regards to Russia, I'd really like to see where she thinks he's trying to absolve himself. He continually sides with Russia and Putin on just about anything above not only our allies, but our own damn government. Gabbard is no different than Schultz attacking Dems under the guise of both sidesing everything.

Sued for over two hundred million, in fact. Free Speech sure is expensive if you don't speak the goodspeak.

He sides with them more so on things when it comes to our intelligence agencies because he doesn't want people to think they helped him win which we all know they did.

This article talks about a few things his administration has done, I say it that way because I do think most of the things that are being done are things his team has pushed for more than he has.


Edit: I put the link from the site and it ended up coming up as audio.

"There's never been a president as tough on Russia as I have been," Trump told reporters on Wednesday.

That might sound like hyperbole, but in this case, there's actually some basis for the president's boast.

"When you actually look at the substance of what this administration has done, not the rhetoric but the substance, this administration has been much tougher on Russia than any in the post-Cold War era," said Daniel Vajdich, senior fellow at the Atlantic Council.

Take military spending: Trump sought to add $1.4 billion for fiscal year 2018 to the European Deterrence Initiative — a military effort to deter Russian aggression that was initially known as the European Reassurance Initiative. That's a 41 percent increase from the last year of the Obama administration. The president also agreed to send lethal weapons to Ukraine — a step that Obama resisted. And Trump gave U.S. forces in Syria more leeway to engage with Russian troops.

Whatever tough policies the White House may have adopted toward Moscow also have to be weighed against Trump's rhetoric, which is consistently friendly to Putin. He suggested inviting Russia to rejoin the G-7, a group Moscow was suspended from following the illegal annexation of Crimea. Trump also congratulated Putin on his suspect re-election victory, despite explicit instructions from his advisers.

"There's a real disconnect between the president's words and the underlying policy," said Richard Fontaine, president of the Center for a New American Security.

The White House's biggest annual economic report lists the alter-egos of Spider-man, Captain America, Batman, and a Game of Thrones character as interns​
​
"Student interns provide invaluable help with research projects, day-to-day operations, and fact-checking," the report notes on page 624.​
​
The report then lists interns from the previous year, which include Spider-Man's alter ego Peter Parker, the fictional character's guardian Aunt May, Steve Rogers from Captain America, billionaire caped crusader Bruce Wayne from Batman, and actor John Cleese. Another name listed is John Snow, similar to the spelling of the Game of Thrones character Jon Snow.​

The White House did not respond to a request for comment from INSIDER.​

That's good news. And given how the problem seems to be accelerating, the life expectancy should drop so much that people who are alive now probably won't live long enough to feel that pain. Drill, baby, drill!

Comey says he doesn’t want trump impeached. I’m ok with that so long as once he’s done perverting the White House, he is prosecuted to the fullest extent for his crimes which we know he’s guilty of and stripped of any benefits he got from the soviet union installing their puppet.

Don't like it, it just comes off as too calculated and trying to "check boxes" etc. Is she ready to be POTUS? hadn't even heard of her until last year, she's only been a state senator as far as I can tell.
