    It's been a while since I saw liberal activism with the nuclear football.

    I know it feels like forever, but believe it or not it's only been six months.

    At what point does "no evidence of collusion" become threadbare? From the WaPo article on Kushner wanting a communication channel:


    "For instance, according to those officials and the letter, Kushner conveyed to the Russians that he was aware it would be politically sensitive to meet publicly, but it was necessary for the Trump team to be able to continue their communication with Russian government officials.

    In addition to their discussion about setting up the communications channel, Kushner, Flynn and Kislyak also talked about arranging a meeting between a representative of Trump and a “Russian contact” in a third country whose name was not identified, according to the anonymous letter."

    Unlike you, I can judge a person or event on merit or lack thereof. Neither my faith nor my political leanings make every decision for me the way your politics overrides your logic.

    Your evidence is still biased and shaky at best. I did some research on my own and the support of Sharia Law is real. So is the opposition to Israel, which is not the same thing as anti-Judaism. There are Jews who will reflexively cry anti-Semitism any time somebody criticizes Israrel, especially if that person is a Muslim. I'm not one of those Jews.

    Of course, you ignore that she led a fundraising effort to bring in money to pay for repairs to vandalized graves in Jewish cemeteries. Cue your cries that she only did that for political gain because you only want the things about her you don't like to matter.

    That said, despite your flawed evidence, I'm not going to defend her. I'm just going to stay with my initial reaction. 'Who cares? There are people with opinions I don't like involved with both political parties. You and YF are trying to prop her up as a much bigger deal than she really is. She is barely relevant and even that is only recent.

    A scary article, and from my experience largely accurate.

    I Was Trained for the Culture Wars in Home School, Awaiting Someone Like Mike Pence as a Messiah

    You have no idea what Kushner may, or may not have done. We have reports characterizing his conversations. Nothing more.

    There's also no indication that if the conversations were as characterized, that they were illegal.

    If the President wanted to have the ability to talk to the Russian president, bypassing career diplomats and the intelligence community, who he saw as troublesome to negotiations, and who were leaking info about him, what law would that have broken?

    That's the best layout from a German newspaper I've seen yet.

    Did the Obama administration open "back channel" communications with both Iran and Cuba, that were not disclosed to the public, in at least one case involved third party meetings in a foreign country, and largely froze out diplomats and the IC, while being run out of the White House by Boy Wonder and failed novelist Ben Rhodes?

    Was that treason?
