Facebook is soooooo 2015!  I do not use it.

How much did the single transferable vote system lose by last time?  I really do hope people are more up to speed this time around, but the word "algorithm" scares the shit out of old-timer voters so I am not holding my breath.  "Gah,  That sounds too much like that liar Al Gore!!"

When you cast a vote for a new voting system, remember that without FPTP we will not be able vote any money-laundering experts or white-supremacists in to lead us.

I bet we still could. People can fuck up anything... wait, was there supposed to be an /s?  I should always assume that with your posts.

Strange considering she was the one claiming those party's were gang rape stations basically.

And as if Manafort is the only criminal to ever work in the WH or for a President. This is what I truly dont understand about the left. Two decades of bull shit obfuscation and crony criminals (like the Cheney and Hali) but for some reason Trump is the worst? I honestly dont follow that... logic if there is any.

So you can admit Trump's agenda is moving and the msm is creating a false narrative of it. The issue's at the forefront of DC right now are almost entirely media created. Time should tell more about that.

So here's the bet draft far then: Congress and Senate, $50 each or beers? Is there a monetary aspect or just beer and then the tab if both the Senate and Congress go. I'm usually off Tuesdays and I havent been up Squamish way in too long. My car should be refurb'd by then as well so I dont mind driving up ;) I should be able to get some good data logs to and fro the Squamish.

I was talking about Dr. Ford.  It would have been nice to actually look at all the allegations but hers is the only one that managed to be heard by the Senate.  She is totally credible.

No Manafort isn't the only criminal to work at the WH, just one of the most recent ones.  If you don't understand why the left is upset maybe this will help.  Since Nixon, but before Trump, executive branch criminal convictions: Democrats - 1 : Republicans - 89  And those are just the ones that got caught.

As for the MSM and Trump's agenda, I am not sure what you are getting at.  What is the false narrative?  Every one of his wins was covered to death.  Kavanaugh.  The tax bill. The trade deal.

As I said, the Senate is a long shot for the Dems so I don't see them taking it.  Congress though, I will take that bet.

- Allegations so credible she only has hearsay and happenstance to go by.

- And you're hoping Manafort rats out Trump with any knowledge necessary to bring him down.

- I wont deny his golfing if you admit his awesomeness for pushing his agenda through at an above average rate, especially for a golfing President.

I dont watch the televised news sir or do RT.com other than when I click a link.

The bet has several options of course but nothing too crazy. $50-100 and a cold one on the Mid Terms and or does Trump get impeached if you'd like double down. Pretty sure we're both in Vancouver so we should be able make this happen. Or we could get together, watch the Mid Terms and the losing team pick's up the tab. Dont think it'll be as exciting as 2016 was though.

As strange as it may sound, sexual assaults are often done when people are not watching.  Almost like the perpetrators know they are doing something wrong. 

Manafort is a criminal, and Trump picked him to run his campaign.  You can infer from that what you want, but his judgment is certainly in question when it comes to "the best people".

Trump has both houses behind him so there was never a doubt that the conservative agenda was going to move full steam while they had the chance (eg - Kavanaugh), but other than creating a trade crisis most of Trump's agenda, like the wall, are just forgotten in the noise.  The Republicans want him golfing so he can't mess things up.  Like a child king that the court keeps busy out hunting rabbits.

I will take a bet on the Midterms, but I only see the Democrats taking Congress.  The Senate is a long shot.  I am in Squamish,  but I can go out for free beer in Van.  :)

Lessons from Shogun:

- Calling for the FBI to spend a few days investigating a sexual assault allegation against someone asking for a lifetime position is a stall tactic. Merrick Garland?
- Hiring a criminal (who just happens to live in Trump Tower) to head the presidential campaign has "fuck all to do with Trump", but Obama something-something.
- Trump is totally going to drain the swamp, but he has been too busy... golfing, maybe... to do it yet. Just wait. It is going to be super. Ivanka is going to remodel the swamp. It'll be classy.

I am playing the long game as well. I want Bart to be confirmed. Whoever they pick next will be equally regressive and if the charges against him are true, it shouldn't be too hard to impeach him down the road. If he doesn't get confirmed the entitled Right will go fucking crazy and vote in much larger numbers. I want them at home watching Honey Boo Boo on November 6th. And as for patience... I have had this conversation with you for how long? Uranium One. Clinton Cash. I have the patience of a fucking saint.

Oh hey. I almost forgot about the recent story on Trump's million dollar loan.. er I mean 435 million dollar gift. A self-made man. Just the shoes on his feet, a hope, a dream, and close to half a billion dollars. God bless America.

- a stall tactic thats disintegrating as we type.

- residential addresses are nepotistic in nature now?

- and if Trump's golfing so much, how is his agenda so complete? Damn he's good eh?

Who the hell is Bart? Brett?

I'd say the only way to properly settle this is with some green backs wagered and a nice cold beer added to the losing tab so we can relish driving home the fact that (only) one of us was right, in person. Hell, depending on the bet I might even extend it other Libtardia residents of the NBR.

- Nope, the allegations are as credible as ever
- My point was the Trump knew Manafort very well before hiring him.  That is a well-established fact.
- He golfs all the time.  You do accept that fact, don't you?  He is the golfiest president in history by a mile.

Yes Bart is Brett.  Did they not cover that on Fox and Friends?  RT?

What's the bet?

^^^^  HAHAHA

I don't think Manafort's convictions is a smoking gun, but I do think his time in Ukraine gave him a lot of connections with Russian oligarchs and I am sure the vast sums he was paid came from them indirectly.  Manafort advised Yanukovych so he could win the election and really that is all Russia wanted.  His message was different depending on what part of Ukraine he was in.  Manafort is not pro-West, or pro-Russia, he is pro-Manafort and pro-Winning the election.  

Having said that, Manafort is a direct line between Trump and Russian influence and that can't be denied.

As for Russia, again you like to set your own stage full of strawmen. The problem is not Russia, we expect them to go after the west with cyber attacks and active measures because they are outmatched in every other way and these are inexpensive and effective ways to disrupt your adversaries. The talking point of "but America does it too... and worse" is true, but people are pissed off that the GOP is doing nothing about Russian meddling and appears to be complicit, possibly even in collaboration since the active measures support their positions. That is where the finger is pointed by both the public and Mueller. Mueller is not looking to punish Russia for their misdeeds, they are looking to see if there was illegal activity in the campaign by AMERICANS.

I have to say dude, you have fallen for the Russian kool-aid hook line and sinker. Not many people on the Right think Russia had jack shit to do with 2016 and the Red team.

It's posts like these that tell me if Trump were to drain the swamp, there would in fact be a Civil War because you there in Libtardia cant seem to differentiate between fact and fiction.

And you dropped 'active measures' twice in one paragraph. You need a new catch phrase as that one is well, pretty uninspiring. Hope you're getting more than tree fiddy for dropping it though.

edit: As for American illegal activities... one side has already been investigated for that. For quite some time. But you're blindly sure it'll be that same side that's not only obviously responsible or the culprit but also investigated, again, for Election interference. That's your liberalism blocking the basic logic that clearly states otherwise.

Active measures is the correct term according to people that work in intelligence for subverting the processes in other countries.  Unlike "Libtardia", it  is an actual term with meaning, not an insult created at r/the_donald.

The Right is never going to admit their campaigns were helped by a Russian tailwind.  Or a white supremacist tailwind.  But it clearly happened.  They have no interest in finding out either because Russia is run by an oligarchy while pretending to be a democracy.  It gives them all goosebumps just thinking about how great that would be.  Plus a bonus!  No gays or people with dark skin (except bronzer of course).  If Obama had hired Manafort, he would have been in front of some GOP kangaroo court so fast looking into his allegiance to Russia/Kenya and there would be investigative panels as far as the eye could see.  In case you need a refresher Manafort worked for Yanukovych, who works for Putin, who does this to help out his bros in Ukraine.

if Trump were to drain the swamp

Please stop.  My sides!  What swamp is Trump planning to drain exactly?  Is that for his next housing project?  You say I don't have facts.  Entertain us all with some swamp draining facts.

It still ain't, nope. Thanks for caving in.

I think I have made this point before, but it is hard to listen to people that say things such as:

So the FBI and the CIA are A-OK so long as they’re helping the Democrats take down Trump instead of infiltrating the US press as “mockingbirds” or engineering the assassination of foreign and domestic leaders? Or taking down the Black Panther Party, the anti-Vietnam War Movement, the Civil Rights Movement, the Young Lords, radical feminists, and other groups that made up the New Left of the 1960s and 70s, or more recently, Black Lives Matter, “Black Identity Extremists,” Wikileaks, Julian Assange, and other whistleblowers?

The opposite is also true. The right had always staunchly supported the FBI and CIA, but now they saying that the FBI is running a witch hunt to get Trump. Are they becoming "unhinged"?

More importantly though, in all those other examples of times we shouldn't trust the CIA or FBI, it was actually the government in power that tasked them to run those operations. The only operations that are similar are other investigations into the conduct of a president. Republicans sure didn't mind when Clinton was in the hot seat, and most Americans today would say the FBI did their job with Watergate. So this is not "we love the CIA", it is "we do not trust the GOP",and I think you and the people you read are smart enough to know that.

As for Russia, again you like to set your own stage full of strawmen.  The problem is not Russia, we expect them to go after the west with cyber attacks and active measures because they are outmatched in every other way and these are inexpensive and effective ways to disrupt your adversaries.  The talking point of "but America does it too... and worse" is true, but people are pissed off that the GOP is doing nothing about Russian meddling and appears to be complicit, possibly even in collaboration since the active measures support their positions.  That is where the finger is pointed by both the public and Mueller.  Mueller is not looking to punish Russia for their misdeeds, they are looking to see if there was illegal activity in the campaign by AMERICANS.
