Geohistory.today has an article, dated October 27, 2008, a few days before Obama won the presidential election for the first time, titled, ”US Elections Come to Moscow," by Anna Wiesfieler: ”Last week [before the 2008 presidential election] saw the release of Obama's book, The Audacity of Hope, in Russian translation to Russian markets. One of his foreign policy advisors, Mike McFaul, also made a trip to Moscow to meet with various Russian officials and interest groups, speaking off the record and answering questions."

Talk about sticking fingers in the foreign policy of the US—and BEFORE Obama was elected!

Contrast Obama's and McFaul's 2008 actions to Mike Flynn's in 2016.

You realize you're only doing yourself a disservice by posting this dumb shit, right?

Oh right, I forgot that Trump voters don't have any critical thinking skills and will therefore believe literally anything as long as it fits their dumbass worldview.

While he was Maryland’s chief federal prosecutor, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s office failed to interview the undercover informant in the FBI’s Russian nuclear bribery case before it filed criminal charges in the case in 2014, officials told The Hill.

The decisions backfired after prosecutors conducted more extensive debriefings of William Campbell in 2015, learning much more about the extent of his undercover activities and the transactions he engaged in while under the FBI’s direction, the officials said.

The debriefings forced prosecutors to recast their entire criminal case against former Russian uranium industry executive Vadim Mikerinn — removing the informant as a star witness and main victim for the prosecution, the officials added.
Justice Department officials began briefing Congress last week, divulging missteps in a case that nonetheless proved the Russian state-owned Rosatom was engaged in criminal activity through its top American executive beginning in 2009, well before the Obama administration made a series of favorable decisions benefitting Moscow’s nuclear giant.

Trump is a HELL of a lot better than Obama is was or ever will be. Europe is the real dumpster fire. Thank God the UK exited the horrid EU. It's going to be too late once the rest of those stupid European sheep wake up and find out they have lost their cultural identities and the Turks get to call the shots. We don't have 'no go zones' here in the USA. MAGA!

What a fucking clown.

Fake edit: If a mod sees this by chance, I am ready for my account deletion/perm ban now. GAF is just like every other shitty forum now.

Funny, the only people I see hurling personal insults in this thread are the leftists, yet they are calling for the one guy posting civilly to be banned.

Scoop: Four other members of the Special Counsel shared similar texts/emails of Anti-Trump sentiments with others within and outside of the Probe. These are high ranking lawyers that are involved in the Probe.

Can we say that this will be a confirmed bias that exists within the probe? All of their ‘evidence’ gets thrown out.

The same James Brower with scoops like Tony Podesta was supposed to be indicted last month and the Las Vegas shooter was in cahoots with ISIS? Yeah he seems reliable.

Next you'll be quoting Sebastian Gorka's Twitter and bragging about your karate classes.

President Donald Trump unveiled a plan Monday in Utah to dramatically scale back two national monuments – calling it an important move for 'states' rights.'
'Some people think that the natural resources of Utah should be controlled by a small handful of very distant bureaucrats located in Washington. And guess what? They're wrong,' he said in the cavernous Utah Capitol Rotunda in Salt Lake City.
'The families and communities of Utah know and love this land the best. And you know the best how to take care of your land. You know how to protect it, and you know best how to conserve this land for many, many generations to come,' he said.
'Your timeless bond with the outdoors should not be replaced with the whims of regulators thousands and thousands of miles away. They don't know your land, and truly they don't care for your land like you do.'
The Bears Ears and the Grand-Staircase Escalante national monuments span millions of acres in Utah and are among 27 national monuments that Trump ordered his Interior Secretary to review earlier this year.
The result, he said, is that 'public lands will once again be for public use.'


Add this one to the list of ‘Presidental Accomplishments’. :)

Exactly what did this accomplish aside from undoing something else Obama did? And from a banned site no less. What does the Daily Stormer make of all this?

The heck is up with that thread title? Can we get a mod to change it please? Thanks.

This "weak" charge is almost assuredly a big fucking deal.

How come Dev1lXYZ was banned? I didn’t catch anything he posted to be ban worthy or did I miss something?

Because he sucked all the air out of the room.

Online discussion on politics outside old-gaf and twitter with verified accounts is rife with bots, sock puppets, and Americans stupidly amplifying misinformation. Anywhere there is no barrier to entry someone, paid or unpaid, will devote as much time as it takes to AstroTurf trump, libertarian, alt-right and conspiracy theories while darkly suggesting nothing and nobody else can be trusted. Except Putin! He is great.

The problem is horrendous. Watch fox every night to see a skillful distillation of the most sticky lies and misinterpretations this digital mess finds currently resonate.

The_donald, certain recurring threads in 4chan, gab, twitter driven by cernovich mitchelvii and a handful of others, big Facebook groups they all surf on tag amplification bot retweeting and humans running sock puppet accounts full time. Anywhere there is no penalty for spreading disinfo, being as racist as possible without crossing a line, hinting about Soros and nameless Jewish globalists, this will exist and drive away intelligent discussion, and drive wedges.

It’s a fucking one-sided cyberwar and few people understand the extent of it.

If you guys want a more balanced update on Flynn I suggest listening to the new preet podcast it’s short. Just search preet in your podcast app.
He evaluates three scenarios
1 flynn has a sweet heart deal and is singing like a canary
2 Mueller can only get Flynn on one thing and the investigation is winding up
3 they can only get him on one thing but the investigation is just getting going.

It’s quite interesting and his best guess scenario isn’t what the media have largely latched onto.

Today in Flynn news...

Flynn Said Russian Sanctions Would be ‘Ripped Up,’ Whistle-Blower Says


In the letter, Mr. Cummings appeared to try to anticipate an argument that Mr. Gowdy might make — that he cannot investigate the whistle-blower’s claims as long as Mr. Flynn was still under investigation by Mr. Mueller’s team.

“As chairman of the Benghazi select committee, you pursued your investigation of Hillary Clinton during an ongoing criminal investigation,” Mr. Cummings wrote.

Even better is the image of Flynn during the inauguration when this exchange was going on
