But if it was Chelsea Clinton it would have been celebrated.

I don't recall any outrage when Bill sat in on high level meetings instead of his wife, who was really in charge. :biggrinjester:

Trump is back from what appeared to be a great trip to Europe (depends on whose news you listened to) and immediately the Russian thing pops up again this time with Donald Trump Jr. Near as I can tell Donald Trump Jr. met with a Russian lawyer who said she had some bad stuff on Hillary. Apparently there is an email from Donald Trump Jr. about the meeting. Donald Trump Jr. has hired a defense attorney.

Not sure if anything that has been mentioned is illegal, but of course it does not look good now that a Trump was looking for bad stuff on Hillary from the potential Russian government. It might show the Russians wanted Trump to win.

Some have thought the whole thing was a dirty trick played by the Dems to trap Donald Trump Jr.

I would expect nothing less from the criminal. I was hoping for better from Trump. He needs to give his kids and SIL a quick exit from DC.

On several occasions recently I've put RUSSIAN dressing on my salad, and had a deli sandwich with the same and I never reported it to anyone! All of my grandparents are from RUSSIA, and I spoke to them on many occasions! Also not reported. One time, while flying in Alaska, I flew to Little Diomede Island in the Bering Strait only 2miles from RUSSIA! No flight plan except for company flight following! We also had RUSSIAN pilots who flew with us as an exchange! They gave me a RUSSIAN slide rule (flight computer) and a small RUSSIAN red star pin when they left as gifts and I never reported them! I have purchased 2 RUSSIAN pistols and one RUSSIAN rifle, using my CHL, so no 4473, so nobody knew! Is this considered collusion with the RUSSIANS? I'm scared!!!! :shock: :shock: :shock:

Back in the 70s and 80s I was part of a United States federal exchange program, in the Federal Republic of Germany, through which we offered the Russians the opportunity to exchange certain US products for theirs. We also offered to demonstrate the use of classified nuclear devices for which we offered express shipping at no charge. Despite our expressions of willingness to deliver large quantities in a timely manner free of charge, no one ever showed up to accept our offers. Does that make me a bad person?

We would regularly display samples of our wares in well established open-air markets. Transporting our wares from our distribution facilities to these open-air markets brought them closer to the Russians and we fully expected that we would have interested customers. None ever showed up. Maybe our cover charge was too high or they did not like our pay-to-play arrangements.

Obamacare repeal (in any form) is dead

It's going to be an interesting mid-term election.

Well, one would think there would be consequences for broken promises and/or poor performance but nothing seems to matter anymore.

Hopefully it's taken care of in the primaries.

How many repeal votes did the Republicans have knowing the previous president would not sign or veto the bill? Now that there is a president that will sign a repeal, they are afraid of being labelled as cold hearted or they really do not want it repealed. I'm thinking the latter.
In certain extreme situations, the law is inadequate. In order to shame its inadequacy, it is necessary to act outside the law to pursue a natural justice.
