Trump - One Year
Re: Trump - One Year
Trump was supposed to enact sanctions. He did not do it. This is a fact.
Right, or not right?

Re: Trump - One Year
Some people have problems with facts!!
18 years ago I made one of the most important decisions of my life and entered a local Cambodian Buddhist Temple as a temple boy and, for only 3 weeks, an actual Therevada Buddhist monk. I am not a scholar, great meditator, or authority on Buddhism, but Buddhism is something I love from the Bottom of my heart. It has taught me sobriety, morality, peace, and very importantly that my suffering is optional, and doesn't have to run my life. I hope to give back what little I can to the Buddhist community, sincerely former monk John

Greetings Alan,
Metta,
Paul.
Maybe have a look at the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act and tell me what Trump didn't do that he was "supposed to".
Metta,

Re: Trump - One Year
I would first point out that what you say here does not indicate that clinton campaign colluded with the russians....only that they got some infomation from russian sources....it could have been stolen and not colluded for example.retrofuturist wrote: ↑Mon Feb 05, 2018 3:34 amDespite all the pearl clutching, there has been no evidence whatsoever found to date of Trump colluding with the Russians. I'm guessing that's because he didn't. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of the Clinton Campaign & the DNC, who via Fusion GPS and (ex-MI6) paid FBI informant Christopher Steele, sourced salacious and unverified materials, primarily from Russian sources (including from members of the Kremlin) in order to weaponize American intelligence agencies and the FISA courts against a political opponent. So much for the Fourth Amendment and the peaceful transfer of power then....![]()
....but for me more importantly; I would really like to get some information about when did the republicans stop funding fusion gps and when did the democrats start.....and I assume that there was some documentation generated when the republicans and the democrats offered their funding and I'm wondering what it said (what exactly were they funding)....and when did fusion gps contract with chris steele and when did steele do his work....
I'm wanting to learn about these things because in the absence of this information I really have no way of allotting blame if there is any blame to be allotted.....no way to know how much influence the dems or the repubs had over what steele did or reported.

Re: Trump - One Year
Here is what I think: Trump was compromised years ago. The Russians totally own him. You can see it in his finances. When the truth is told, we will find out that Trump is a Russian agent, acting on Putin's behalf. Some might think that is ridiculous. But I will be proven correct.

Re: Trump - One Year
Greetings Chownah,
Once Trump became the Republican nominee, the Democrats, via Perkins Coie engaged Fusion GPS. Steele was then brought into the picture.

According to the New York Times, The Free Beacon paid Fusion GPS up until May 2016 to dig up dirt on Trump.chownah wrote: ↑Mon Feb 05, 2018 4:39 am....but for me more importantly; I would really like to get some information about when did the republicans stop funding fusion gps and when did the democrats start.....and I assume that there was some documentation generated when the republicans and the democrats offered their funding and I'm wondering what it said (what exactly were they funding)....and when did fusion gps contract with chris steele and when did steele do his work....

The chronology outlined suggests that Republicans ceased paying for the Fusion GPS before Steele came on board. That said, I wouldn't put it past Never Trumpers like John McCain to have still had a material interest in proceedings. After all, he was the one spruiking the dossier to the FBI.

Re: Trump - One Year
Here's what I see:Trump is allied with Putin. Together, they are trying to ruin America, and Democracy worldwide.
To Hell with them, I say.

Hey, yeah, you're probably right. Also, I heard that Obama wasn't born in the US, do you think that's true too?alan wrote:Trump was compromised years ago. The Russians totally own him.

Re: Trump - One Year
Thanks for the link. It does clarify when the repubs stopped financing and when the dems started financing.....basically the financing was continuous with a small hiatus at the time of the repub primary election. The article does say that fusion gps "hired" steele while being funded by the dems. If the repubs were funding fusion gps and steele was not working on his reports which when collected became the dossier then what things were the repubs funding?....in the absence of any intelligence information other than the steele dossier being produced through repub funding then what were they funding?retrofuturist wrote: ↑Mon Feb 05, 2018 4:48 amGreetings Chownah,

Metta,

I think it is plausible that steele was working on his reports during the repub funding period but his agreement was payment on delivery so it could be said that previous to having a product (the dossier) he was not employed and he didn't get paid for his work until he submitted the dossier or at least some rough drafts or partial work and this might not have happened until the dems started funding. I know that I am just making up a story and that there is no factual basis for believing this story....I only do this because there is still the unanswered question of what was the relationship between steele and fusion gps (what constituted being "hired" for instance) and what did fusion gps do with the money the repubs gave them. It seems that my story fits all these pieces together neatly but then again it is ONLY A STORY.
Another issue is: did the dems say to fusion gps "go ask steele to produce a dossier which contains x,y, and z.....or did fusion gps decide what would be written about...or was it steele.....seems like steele would be the generator of issues to study and fusion gps would filter first and the dems would be the final judge......but I don't know.
Also, notice that the article does say:
chownahIs this sort of research common or legal?
Campaigns and party committees frequently pay companies to assemble what’s known in politics as opposition research — essentially damaging information about their opponents — and nothing is illegal about the practice.

Re: Trump - One Year
this is Trump, the president that wants to slash legal immigration from India you're talking about???
18 years ago I made one of the most important decisions of my life and entered a local Cambodian Buddhist Temple as a temple boy and, for only 3 weeks, an actual Therevada Buddhist monk.

No he does not. I have written elsewhere about it. That was a campaign promise but following that he has on Jan 8, 2018 not put into force the H1B visa curbs.lyndon taylor wrote: ↑Mon Feb 05, 2018 12:41 pmthis is Trump, the president that wants to slash legal immigration from India you're talking about???

Republicans are our best friend now.
There are 500,000 undocumented Indians in USA. Throw them out. They are blot on our reputation. We are not like Latinos. We do not sneak in.

You obviously are not aware of Trump's immigration policy, those of us here in the USA hear about it all the time.
