    I'm not one that has assumed actual "collusion" but why have so many people with security clearance left out their contacts with Russia? Is there an obvious answer that I have missed? I would appreciate a response.

    Here's a nice, objective look at the VP.

    LOL. The Baronesque headline might be the best part.

    They were either hiding something, or the contacts were insignificant to the degree that they didn't see them as something necessary to disclose.

    Any evidence pointing to the former?

    I don't want to work for the Times. I'd rather work for the Plain-Dealer.

    All of them? "Trump/Russia" has been a thing for a long time. It didn't cross their minds that if they had contact with Russians they would be well served to report it? Isn't that a bit of a stretch?

    Liberal Twitter is very upset with the Times for writing this article:

    Wow that never occurred to me. When I was pointing out the idiocy of your "emotional propaganda" take I never realized that in some ways abortion is different from slavery. I mean, the whole "fetuses are different from babies" thing ... wow, just wow.

    I'm really going to have to rethink things. If I continue to treat your argument as just another steaming pile of Baronesque moronics, I'm somehow going to have to reconcile those very real differences -- which you, thankfully, have apprised me of -- with the fact that, horrendous as it may be, at the publication of the works in question (Uncle Tom's Cabin and the recent PP videos) the horrors toward which they were oriented involved constitutionally protected rights. Once I manage to pull off that reconciliation, I'm sure I'll come around to your view that what was "emotional propaganda" in one setting -- because it targeted constitutionally protected actions -- isn't (or wasn't) in another, even though in the latter constitutionally protected actions are (or were) also involved.
