Shows how little you know about Russia&#039;s interference in the 2016 election and continued interference at the present time. Unless you&#039;re quite content to continue peddling the bullshit of the anti-interventionist left-wing deniers, you should educate yourself about Glenn Greenwald and his Comrade Edward Snowden (living in Russia) who are so averse to future military intervention that they refuse to acknowledge that the United States democracy and our rule of law are under attack by a candidate backed by and compromised by Russia. 

&lt;b&gt;So to recap:&lt;/b&gt; No matter how anti-interventionist Greenwald and his left-wing ilk are, if they close their eyes to our attacker, we are most definitely still visible and no less under attack. Denying you&#039;re under attack in an effort to &quot;keep the peace&quot; is an errand of fools and damn fools. Full stop.</description>

		<description>All of you Weigantians that were so heavily invested in the Trump-Russia collusion delusion three yrs ago should make the effort to get the current &quot;Rising&quot; episode of the Krystal Ball/Saagard Enjetti (not sure of the spelling) show on Youtube.  Those guys are of your political persuasion, but they point out how crazy you all were on that subject.  Same thing currently coming from another one of your guys name of Glen Greenwald.</description>

&lt;i&gt;I hope Obama leverages this advantage to the hilt, which has the potential to drive Trump right over the edge, which already at this point would constitute a very short trip.&lt;/i&gt;

Heh.</description>

		<description>Don Harris
16

&lt;i&gt;Biden is Trump or Hillary when it comes to working for the big money interests. &lt;/i&gt;

I definitely agree with Russ on this issue when I say that Don Harris is obviously working for the big money interests when he ignores his own website and chooses to expend his exertions trolling here while achieving absolutely nothing to show for it. Don Harris&#039;s abject failure is obviously the reason the big money interests are alive and thriving. Harris dithers and wastes his time here while the big money interests grow ever larger by the day.

&lt;i&gt;Until Biden becomes the opposite of that he will not get my vote. &lt;/i&gt;

It&#039;s both asinine and laughable that you seem to believe that politicians are concerned about people who pledge not to vote for them. If you could convince everyone else in Texas not to vote, it would be me getting the attention of every single candidate because I&#039;d be the one choosing all the winners. 

&lt;b&gt;So to recap:&lt;/b&gt; Our representatives are chosen by the people who vote. If you truly wish to move a candidate in your direction, then being a person who continually pledges not to vote is exactly the opposite way to achieve it. The foundation of democracy is participation by the citizens, and if you&#039;re too thick to grasp that fact, then you are a true asset of the big money interests who will continue to piss in the wind while constantly moaning that you&#039;re being pissed on.</description>

		<description>CW: &lt;i&gt;Barack Obama has many avenues open to him when pointing out the difference between his presidency and Donald Trump&#039;s. Each and every one of them is almost guaranteed to provoke a knee-jerk playground-insult-level reaction from Trump. &lt;/i&gt;

Yes, sir, Donald is like a festering wound when it comes to his predecessor, and all Obama need do is to barely scratch the surface of the Trump sore to release the ever-lingering stench beneath... without ever even uttering his name. 

In point of fact, Barack Obama is such a permanent fixture in the rent-free heads of Donald and so many of the bigoted and hateful Trumpanzees that all anyone need do is grind the bellows of the street organ and watch the trained monkeys dance on cue. :)</description>

		<description>Chris didn&#039;t specifically mention it, but it (the feud with Obama) is personal with Trump.  I think it goes back to the white house correspondents&#039; dinner, where Obama publicly ridiculed the orange moron, for which the childishly petulant Trump will never forgive him.

Me, too!

		<description>&lt;I&gt;His non-existent &quot;Obamagate&quot; conspiracy theory is full proof of this. No one -- including Trump himself -- can even explain what &quot;Obamagate&quot; is supposed to mean, at this point. It&#039;s a free-floating scandalous label without any actual underlying scandal. This bizarre effort seems doomed to failure, obviously -- especially when Trump&#039;s own pet attorney general is already admitting &quot;there&#039;s no there, there.&quot; &lt;/I&gt;

What!?

Of course, everyone should know that the criminal behavior Trump is talking about is the &quot;unwarranted&quot; investigation by the Obama administration into Russian meddling in the US presidential election and into whether Trump et al. were involved. You know, the whole Mueller report thing.

And, Barr thinks that there is quite a lot of there, there.</description>

		<description>And, on the bright side, Attorney General Barr says he&#039;s not really looking at investigating criminal behavior by Obama or Biden but he is looking at others. 

I&#039;m guessing Trump will let Barr get away with this one. Whatever.</description>
