    Trump acted badly and not how I want my executive to act. He deserves to be slapped around. Impeachment, especially one doomed to fail, is a massive waste of what could otherwise be useful energy. 

    ahh but it is not a total waste, the Dems are going to pay dearly at the voting booth for it.

  2. ... The Inspector General’s report now makes clear that the FBI launched an intrusive investigation of a U.S. presidential campaign on the thinnest of suspicions that, in my view, were insufficient to justify the steps taken. ...  - William Barr

     

    further...

     

    It is also clear that, from its inception, the evidence produced by the investigation was consistently exculpatory.  Nevertheless, the investigation and surveillance was pushed forward for the duration of the campaign and deep into President Trump’s administration.  In the rush to obtain and maintain FISA surveillance of Trump campaign associates, FBI officials misled the FISA court, omitted critical exculpatory facts from their filings, and suppressed or ignored information negating the reliability of their principal source.  ... - William Barr

    ... I am genuinely confused by smart people who are comfortable with this and willingly deny it because people with their ideologies hold the power.  That's sad to me.

    we should all be rooting for transparency. shine light into all those dark crevices, what is to fear other then the exposure of right or wrong doing.

    Oh I watched it.

     

    I also stated the conclusions in my 1st post today that the FBI bungled a number of things.

     

    Yet, the IG's conclusion is that the investigation into the Trump campaign was warranted and that, even without those blunders, he can't say that the FISA warrant and the rest of the investigation wouldn't have gone on EXACTLY as it did.

     

    I mean isn't the big argument over here that there was some crazy political bias against Trump that started this?

     

    That didn't happen, as per the OIG's own findings, so of course now Barr had to put out a counter statement while also continuing to fund an investigation OVERLAPPING the non-partisan OIG investigation that covered a couple years and had over 700 witnesses interviewed...

    just being objective here...

     

    and for full disclosure, i haven't found the time to read the report quite yet but just taking a synopsis of all items out and about. 

     

    you are correct, the report says that there is no bias, just mistakes. all told, there were what, 17 of them that were large enough to warrant mention in the report. just my experience but mistakes tend to fall unpredictably and will point in all different directions. that all of these mistakes point only in one direction, call me a conspiracy theorist or paranoid but... they seem to point in the direction of having a bias.

     

    let us not forget that Horowitz is a life long Democrat. to think that had no bearing on the make up or conclusions of the report is juvenile in this setting.

    His name popped up on FOX News as a talking point God knows how long ago--because I like to see both perspectives before forming an opinion.

     

    step outside of the main stream bull####. it is all a controlled dog and pony show, you are not going to find much truth there. Fox is but the other side of the controlled narrative.

    While I believe there will be indictments, a big risk now is running out the clock.  It's easy to see this all getting buried if Trump is not re-elected.  The justice and court system moves painfully slowly and we're only 13 months or so from the possibility of another AG being sworn in and Barr being neutered.  Carter Page at the very least though will keep some version of this afloat. 

    i dunno.... once the horse has left the barn, it can be quite hard to get it back in in some instances. the 100th monkey is awakening.

    The 11th will be a big day for Lindsey. A chance to prove he's still not under the thumb of McCain and his cronies: 

     

    Will he step up? Or show he's still a pawn? 

     

    Gonna be interesting to see. 

    i think the Judiciary just scheduled an emergency meeting for the 11th. /sarcasm

     

    i still don't trust Lindsey and won't through whatever he is leading. i wish Grassley could take over the Senate Committee on the Judiciary Jan 1st 2020.

    Portland Could Start Forcing Apartment Owners To 'Make Room' For Homeless Campers 'Whether They Like It Or Not'

    New guidelines from Portland, Oregon's Planning and Sustainability Commission have sparked a major controversy in the city.

     

    Under a proposal introduced to the PSC on Nov. 12, the building design process would require owners to "provide opportunities" to the homeless population "to rest and be welcome." Many are interpreting the vague language—specifically the "rest and be welcome" requirements—as potentially forcing owners of new commercial and residential real estate to build "spaces" for homeless men and women to camp out on private property, even in apartment buildings.

    The idea was originally supported by members of the commission, but received strong pushback upon further discussion from a minority bloc who could still sink the proposal before it reaches the city council for approval.

     

    'Whether they like it or not'

     

    "It is a plan that could require new Portland buildings to make room for homeless campers on private property whether they want to or not, KATU-TV news anchor Lincoln Graves said in describing the proposal ...

    Lol. I never intended this to be the official thread about the FISA report. My intention was for it to exactly what I stated in my first post, to be a discussion about only the contents of the report by folks who have actually read it.  My mistake was posting it too soon, I should have waited until after it was released.

     

    I'm not going to delete anything, but again I assumed there would be a different thread on the FISA report that would devolve into the way things typically go around here. If a mod wants to move all of this content to a different named thread I'm fine with that too.

    your word is good enough, i've no reason to suspect otherwise.

     

    thanks

  9. just a question here before we get too far along in the threads...

     

    i don't know a whole lot about  @BillsFanNC but an he be trusted not to delete the thread if it doesn't go the way he wants? again, i am not intending to disparage him/her in any way, i just know from past experience that this has happened before with certain posters and i don't want to lose the posterity this will contain.

    What, actually, is your objection to people posting tweets?

    Many times they contain links to either news articles or to source documents. Very often, tweets contain information that NOT being reported by the media.  Other times (like with memes), when they don't they're just reflective of a point or opinion that someone wants to make. ..

    he's broken. he wants to discourage the proliferation of information.
