    That's how the House of representative works. Each district has their own representative. I can't believe you are that naive.

    Republicans didn't coin the term collusion in regards to this issue, Democrats and their handmaids in the media did. I've simply adopted your own terms for this nutty conspiracy theory. Trump was engaged neither in collusion or a conspiracy with the Russians to have the Russians overturn the 2016 election. It's crazy whether you call it collusion and conspiracy.

    When you have NO defense, it IS a really good idea to spew out some hypotheticals.

    Yes.
    PRESS GANG’S STURM UND DRANG AFTER SWALWELL BANG-BANGED FANG FANG: Woe Is He! Media shed light on what Eric Swalwell (Banger of Fang) had to contend with ‘after being unwittingly linked to a Chinese spy.’

    When Republicans screw up, that’s the story.
    When Democrats screw up, the Republicans’ reaction is the story.

    Giddy Up MFR's! That Shts Comin' back!

    A Dangerous Precedent: Democrats will come to regret targeting Marjorie Taylor Greene.

    [​IMG]
    We have our nuts, they have their nuts, but we have never stripped their nuts of committee assignments, the Dems execute a major escalation and it's fkn on!​

    [​IMG]
    "Blood and Guts" McCarthy's Warning Was Crystal Clear.​

    Do not come whining to us when we strip at least TWO of your nuts of their committee assignments.

    Like nuking the filibuster for judicial nominations in 2013, Democrats on Thursday set a precedent they will come to rue in a day coming really soon as it drops like an anvil on their rather thick heads. .

    Having rejected an offer of compromise and concession from the highly reasonable GOP Leader "Blood and Guts" Kevin McCarthy, they blindly followed their crazed leadership stripped the crackpot GOP congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.) of her committee assignments like she was an Uighur woman in a Chinese Concentration Camp.
    • But there’s no need to dust off the history books to find examples of conspiracy theorists in the Democratic Party: Rep. Maxine Waters (D., Calif.) was the chief congressional purveyor of the debunked theory that the CIA helped funnel crack cocaine to black neighborhoods in Los Angeles in the 1990s;
      • Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D., Texas) wondered why the story wasn’t getting more coverage.
    • Rep. Kweisi Mfume (D., Maryland) was a proponent of the baseless claim that Clinton-era commerce secretary Ron Brown was murdered, and Mfume argued last summer that the U.S. postal service was "hijacking mailboxes off of every corner."
    • Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) was an anti-Semite before she got to Congress and quickly reoffended upon her arrival. Like Greene, Omar takes a dim view of the Jewish people. Greene thinks a Jewish space laser caused the California wildfires and decries the "neocon reign of death in the womb and across the world." Omar thinks the Jewish state has "hypnotized the world" and that pro-Israel groups in the United States advocate for "allegiance to a foreign country."
    Democrats are delusional if they believe the GOP won’t return the favor and push Omar from her post on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, plus one more, when the tables are turned.

    The dems did the job the repubs would have loved but didn't dare to do, fearing dear leader's wrath.

    Who do YOU think owns the GOPQ?
    Just exactly what charges do you have in mind?

    Let's remember that Greene supported the killing of congressmen on multiple occasions.

    Why should the business of our nation be conducted in committees where a member supports the killing of those she works with?

    I strongly suspect this is the case.

    Republicans may be lilly livered cowards, but I doubt they really believe that it's OK for those they work with to support the killing of those withwhom they negotiate.

    Fake News. Dems just put a bounty on two of their own's heads. We will be smiling when we collect! The day of the petting zoo Republicans has passed. Donald Trump was our final warning.

    Just curious:

    Was that just one more of the death threats these representatives receive from Republicans every single day?

    Or, do you really think you can create some sort of rational charge worth of consideration?

    Tom Cotton Warns:

    [​IMG]
    It's On!​

    TOM COTTON: Republicans Condemn Fringe Right as Democrats Tolerate Omar, Schiff, Schumer, Swalwell (Banger of Fang), Waters.

    Fighting Tom Cotton blasted Democrat and the left's focus on Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA)eir acceptance of and praise for figures like Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Adam Schiff (D-CA), Eric Swalwell (Banger-FangA), Maxine Waters (D-CA), and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY).
    Hell No! They took one, We'll Take Two!

    Take No Lip Cotton added that this is a very dangerous precedent that the Democrat majority in the House set when they’re on the precipice of losing that majority next year. What Democrats and the liberal media did is leverage a fringe of extremist statements and violence from the right against mainstream conservatives in a way that they would never do on the left.

    Big Fkn Surprise, that's what they always do, payback!​

    Cotton recalled,
    That's Different, Cuz Reasons!

    As Mitch McConnell said, when Harry Reid ended the Senate filibuster for federal judge appointments,
    DAMN STRAIGHT!

    Dems are the MAJORITY!

    Are you really going to suggest that the leadership of the party that is in cotrol of the House, Senate and the President are "fringe"?

    What is it about any of those you mention that warrants them being considered "fringe"?

    We have had some loons on both sides in the past 20 years but I cant say that I have found anyone this loony. I like how she apologizes but the next day, she basically says she doesn't want to be on the committees anyway .

    Im ok with free speech and viewpoints (even Jewish Lasers from outer space and Im Jewish!) but the fact She harrasses a teenager who went though something none of us should go through speaks volumes about her lunacy. Come on people, we cant do better than this??? :frown:

    You've refuted nothing I said, you're playing games with semantics. There is a relevant distinction between "collusion" and "conspiracy": Mueller concluded there was no criminal case for CONSPIRACY, but that doesn't preclude someone judging Trump's actual actions as being "collusion" based on THEIR SUBJECTIVE definition of the term. You can deny it based on YOUR subjective definition, but that doesn't make them WRONG - it's just a semantics difference. Trump DID take advantage of Russia's help. You don't call it collusion, others do. It's just a word.

    You cited no one claiming Russians "overturned the 2016 election", but I'm aware that some people believed Russian interference did affect the outcome through their interference. Russia's interference consisted of advertising, social media interactions, and the theft of DNC emails and their release. It's not crazy to believe these things may have affected some votes, but it's impossible to prove cause-effect. I agree with this article of Nate Silver's:

    Overall, then, my view on the effects of Russian interference is fairly agnostic....But if it’s hard to prove anything about Russian interference, it’s equally hard to disprove anything: The interference campaign could easily have had chronic, insidious effects that could be mistaken for background noise but which in the aggregate were enough to swing the election by 0.8 percentage points toward Trump — not a high hurdle to clear because 0.8 points isn’t much at all.

    Some anti-Trump partisans make the biased judgment that Trump would not have won with Russian help. Pro-Trump partisans insist it was irrelevant. Neither side is particularly CRAZY, unless we label all biased, partisan judgment as crazy.

    Glad to see you used Silver's take on Russia's influence. I've had his article on the subject bookmarked for years. His is an extremely empirical, analytic approach. He also did some great work on the influence of the Comey letter on the election.
    https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-comey-letter-probably-cost-clinton-the-election/

    As far as your methodical dismantling of Lil Mike's puerile position goes, I just wanted to say I applaud the rigor. His juvenile, face saving game of cat and mouse, stubbornly refusing to acknowledge irrefutable facts spoon fed to him is, unfortunately, a very familiar ploy. While he, and those Trump fans like him, will never admit on this board to the absurdity of the shredded narrative they cling to I suspect on some level they know how utterly bankrupt it has proven to be. If not, they aren't worth the time.

    "We love you, you're very special" - Donald Trump 1/6/21. What do you call that? Maybe you just landed on this planet so my apologies if you missed it.

    I've quite enjoyed how you've gone from conspiracy skeptic...

    ...to full on believer, tin foil hat included. I assume I can stop looking for proof that people on this forum and people in Congress were ever Russia-Collusion believers since you've revealed yourself as being firmly in that camp?

    It's clear from your posts you stopped looking for evidence of anything long ago. If you have a change of heart the truth you continue to ignore is out there.

    "Mueller added he did not pursue charges against members of the Trump team at the meeting in part because the investigation did not find evidence that they acted with “general knowledge of the illegality of their conduct.”

    The report noted that the prosecution has to establish a defendant knew their conduct was illegal to charge an individual. Mueller found that “the investigation has not developed evidence that the participants in the meeting were familiar with the foreign-contribution ban.”

    What ever happened to ignorantia juris non excusat? Donnie J broke a law he was unaware of. If a Dem special counsel made the same decision about the son of a Dem prez while being supervised by a Dem Deputy AG all hell would have broken loose.

    It's true, I did stop looking for evidence a long time ago, actually after the Mueller Report was released. In an issue that has already been settled, why would I continue to "look for evidence?" That's what conspiracy theorists do. They constantly have links and present "evidence" that they insist I look at. I just don't have all the time in the world to relook into issues that have already been settled. I'm not interested in new "evidence" that the earth is flat, the mafia killed JFK, vaccines cause autism, Obama was born in Kenya, or Trump and the Russians conspired to overturn the 2016 election.

    Conspiracy theorists have time to look and relook at this issues constantly, but to me it's nonsense and I'm not wasting more time on it.

    So, you were duped by Billy the Bagman's lie about the report. Got it.

    I realize in Trumpworld the matter was settled as soon as Trump's bagman falsely claimed the report exonerated Trump. This, despite the report being chock full of documentation proving the opposite is true (and Mueller pushing back on Barr's lie). The kind of documentation you admit you dismiss while refusing the address any of it with specificity.

    "No collusion. No obstruction."
    -- trump

    Is that the truth you're referring to? Collusion wasn't being investigated and there are 10 counts of obstruction that couldn't be prosecuted. IOW, Trump lied. Imagine that
