Why is it Conservative sources are always bullshit and liberal sources are the honest ones? Because it makes things easier for you. What horse shit, Mr. 911 was a setup.

On my FaceBook, I have a mix of conservatives and liberals. As you probably know, most of the musicians are liberals. I get along great with most of them, as long as we don't talk about politics. This one guy I had to unfriend, I did so because he couldn't seem to do anything but post political propaganda. It became all he was, 10 - 15 posts a day, and it was garbage that came from Occupy Democrats, Slate and DailyKos. When who is president consumes your life 24/7 and you spend every waking hour talking about how to bring the president down, posting the next propaganda piece that should get him impeached and hating on everyone who doesn't agree, it's time to flush said person. Monker probably does that on FaceBook too. I don't read his page, but I know he has one.

1. June 2016: FISA request. The Obama administration files a request with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA) to monitor communications involving Donald Trump and several advisers. The request, uncharacteristically, is denied.
2. July: Russia joke. Wikileaks releases emails from the Democratic National Committee that show an effort to prevent Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) from winning the presidential nomination. In a press conference, Donald Trump refers to Hillary Clinton’s own missing emails, joking: “Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 e-mails that are missing.” That remark becomes the basis for accusations by Clinton and the media that Trump invited further hacking.
3. October: Podesta emails. In October, Wikileaks releases the emails of Clinton campaign chair John Podesta, rolling out batches every day until the election, creating new mini-scandals. The Clinton campaign blames Trump and the Russians.
4. October: FISA request. The Obama administration submits a new, narrow request to the FISA court, now focused on a computer server in Trump Tower suspected of links to Russian banks. No evidence is found — but the wiretaps continue, ostensibly for national security reasons, Andrew McCarthy at National Review later notes. The Obama administration is now monitoring an opposing presidential campaign using the high-tech surveillance powers of the federal intelligence services.
5. January 2017: Buzzfeed/CNN dossier. Buzzfeed releases, and CNN reports, a supposed intelligence “dossier” compiled by a foreign former spy. It purports to show continuous contact between Russia and the Trump campaign, and says that the Russians have compromising information about Trump. None of the allegations can be verified and some are proven false. Several media outlets claim that they had been aware of the dossier for months and that it had been circulating in Washington.
6. January: Obama expands NSA sharing. As Michael Walsh later notes, and as the New York Times reports, the outgoing Obama administration “expanded the power of the National Security Agency to share globally intercepted personal communications with the government’s 16 other intelligence agencies before applying privacy protections.” The new powers, and reduced protections, could make it easier for intelligence on private citizens to be circulated improperly or leaked.
7. January: Times report. The New York Times reports, on the eve of Inauguration Day, that several agencies — the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Treasury Department are monitoring several associates of the Trump campaign suspected of Russian ties. Other news outlets also report the exisentence of “a multiagency working group to coordinate investigations across the government,” though it is unclear how they found out, since the investigations would have been secret and involved classified information.
8. February: Mike Flynn scandal. Reports emerge that the FBI intercepted a conversation in 2016 between future National Security Adviser Michael Flynn — then a private citizen — and Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak. The intercept supposedly was part of routine spying on the ambassador, not monitoring of the Trump campaign. The FBI transcripts reportedly show the two discussing Obama’s newly-imposed sanctions on Russia, though Flynn earlier denied discussing them. Sally Yates, whom Trump would later fire as acting Attorney General for insubordination, is involved in the investigation. In the end, Flynn resigns over having misled Vice President Mike Pence (perhaps inadvertently) about the content of the conversation.
9. February: Times claims extensive Russian contacts. The New York Times cites “four current and former American officials” in reporting that the Trump campaign had “repeated contacts with senior Russian intelligence officials. The Trump campaign denies the claims — and the Times admits that there is “no evidence” of coordination between the campaign and the Russians. The White House and some congressional Republicans begin to raise questions about illegal intelligence leaks.
10. March: the Washington Post targets Jeff Sessions. The Washington Post reports that Attorney General Jeff Sessions had contact twice with the Russian ambassador during the campaign — once at a Heritage Foundation event and once at a meeting in Sessions’s Senate office. The Post suggests that the two meetings contradict Sessions’s testimony at his confirmation hearings that he had no contacts with the Russians, though in context (not presented by the Post) it was clear he meant in his capacity as a campaign surrogate, and that he was responding to claims in the “dossier” of ongoing contacts. The New York Times, in covering the story, adds that the Obama White House “rushed to preserve” intelligence related to alleged Russian links with the Trump campaign. By “preserve” it really means “disseminate”: officials spread evidence throughout other government agencies “to leave a clear trail of intelligence for government investigators” and perhaps the media as well.

ISIS launches chemical weapon attack on women and children, including a two-month-old baby, in Mosul
A two-month-old baby is being treated in hospital for possible exposure to chemical weapons after an attack in Mosul thought to have been carried out by ISIS.
The baby is one of 12 people, including women and children, who have been treated since March 1 after the attack where Islamic State is fighting off an offensive by U.S.-backed Iraqi forces, the United Nations said on Saturday.
Although it is not known who is to blame for the attack, the mortars were apparently fired from ISIS held west Mosul.

It's not going happen any more than Hillary will be "Locked up".
For this to happen you would have to believe that Obama :
1. is dumb enough to wiretap a candidate when he has the NSA.
2. Is dumb enough to leave a paper trail of court requests to do the wiretap.
You can think a lot of things about Obama, but he's not dumb. If he wanted to watch Trump, he would use the NSA and not have to worry about things like this. Or, since our allies do the exact same listening procedures as the NSA, he could get the info from Canada or Britan.
The bottom line is that TRUMP is in deep shit and he has tried to turn the focus. Instead it went right back on him because to get a wire tap there has to be enough evidence to convince a judge. He can't just 'do it', like he and Breit Bart thinks. It's simple BULLSHIT, fake news.
Now he is shutting his mouth and simply wants it investigated. This is going to go the same way as the three million illegal votes that he wanted investigated. Now that it is out of focus, nobody cares that it made him look like an idiot. This entire wiretap bullshit makes him look like an idiot and he is going to want everybody to forget about it now.
Memorex wrote:One might ask, if he is guilty of anything, why would he up the stakes and ask for further investigation.
There is no turning back now. Prior to this, the public polls showed people were tiring of the Russian thing and wanted to move on. No, no chance of that happening. I can't possibly imagine Trump would invite that kind of heat if he felt he had anything to worry about.
On top of that, there is ample evidence, through leaks and reporting, that there were wiretaps. I can't believe that would be in dispute.
And as I have said, no way Trump gets wire tapped without Obama being in the loop.
As far as paper trail, I think Obama is no where near any of it. Cause you are right, he is not dumb. He would have absolutely made sure he was protected.
If Trump or his staff were tapped, and there was not sufficient cause, or the surveillance went on after it was determined there was nothing there, people are going to jail. There is no way around that.

No thanks. We voted for Trump to get things done. The whiny neo-McCarthyite Democrats, in league with CIA elements, are attempting to destabilize the government. This is because Trump is the most fiercely independent President since JFK and Reagan and it scares the entrenched bureaucracy shitless.

And easily manipulated idiots like you would be following Hillary's lead and demanding sanctions/war. No core values.

He's been mostly governing by executive order so far and many proposals (travel ban, the wall) are definitely happening.
You still don't get it. Trump remade the Republican party. Strict conservative sensibilities don't have to be followed. Stephen Moore from the Heritage Foundation even told GOP officials, "you are no longer Reagan's party, you are now a populist party." Trump was the first candidate since Perot to tackle NAFTA and the trade deficit as a centerpiece of his campaign. Even the GOP establishment hated him.
I certainly admit that. And many of his staunchest haters (Hollywood, the press, military industrial whores like Graham/McCain) are the modern day variation of the "economic royalists" that hated FDR. FDR "welcomed their hatred" as does Trump. You pink pussy hat wearing freaks are only emboldening him and solidifying his support.
In your last reply, you stated that "Russian hacking" was also a bigger issue than the Reagan campaign undermining Carter hostage negotiations AND LBJ's attempts to stop Vietnam. So let's let that sink in. You are alleging that a hacked website is more important than actually endangered American lives. There was no Russian hacking. Wikileaks is the equivalent of a blog. If I hack the Linden LaRouche Party and post emails on wordpress, have I hacked democracy itself? Get off it.
