But why do you think Trump denied the evidence that Russia was trying to hack the election during his debate with Hillary, and blamed it instead on China or a fat guy in his basement? Why did so many people on his campaign team lie about their contacts with Russia? There is ample evidence of obstruction of justice. What were they obstructing? But regardless, again, you can't provide one example of the media reporting that Trump colluded, as you said they did. You only found one article reporting on Schiff's words (which BTW no one has proven to be false). If Schiff had evidence then the FBI has that evidence too. Why does the FBI keep saying that there was no evidence of collusion? In what way did they obstruct justice? There were something like 500 interrogations. They handed over milions of pages worth of documents. They gave the FBI lieterally every single thing they asked for. So what if Trump said Mueller should be fired - did you see how much of a stuttering boob he is? I wouldn't let him run a lemonade stand. Contrast Trump's "obstruction of justice" with Hillary's.... They just asked her to hand over a server and some emails. They got neither. The emails were deleted and the server was wiped. Can you provide me with one single CNN newscast that didn't say Trump colluded with Russia from 2018?

Google seems to want to accurately represent what's on the internet. https://www.wired.com/story/google-algorithm-conservatives-biased-its-just-not-human/ R Quote epresentative Zoe Lofgren, a Democrat who represents Silicon Valley, moved the conversation from personal grievances to societal ones by adopting the perspective of a political foe. Why, she asked, did she get photo after photo of Donald Trump after an image search of “idiot”? “I just did it,” she assured Pichai at the hearing, in case he suspected that she was repeating some ancient anecdote. “How does search work for that to occur?” With his detailed accounting of how the Google algorithm operates, Pichai answered her question—undoubtedly, the term “idiot” these days is linked to Trump more closely than anything else online, and the search results dutifully reflect that. But there were further questions lingering, like why should someone making that peculiar, open-ended search be immediately led to divisive politics? Quote

But that's not proof. There's not documentation that verifies that this person did own slaves. Therefore it's "unproven". Quote However, we have been unable to verify that a line of descent exists between the modern-day Harris family and the 19th-century slave owner. As such, the claim that an ancestor of Sen. Harris owned slaves in Jamaica remains unproven. If evidence emerges that verifies that line of descent, we will update this fact check accordingly. Probably the safest avenue to go. More important however, Why does her lineage matter at all? Quote

He was probably surprised the Russian efforts were successful. But you can't answer the simple question of why he was trying to get the heat off Russia during the debate? As for Schiff, you said the media was wrong to report his words. Now you're saying something entirely different. Could you at least stick to a debating point and follow it through? Trump wanted people to believe that if he won, it wasn't because of Russian Interference, because he wanted his election to be considered legitimate. Trump was pointing out other alternative parties who could have hacked the DNC, just as easily as Russians could have, and he pointed that out with the visual imagery of a 400lbs dude in his mom's basement, because that is level of sophistication required to pull it off and it's an image that sticks in people's heads. None of that means he was doing it to hide his collusion with Russia, that is preposterous conclusion to jump to. The media is perfectly free to report Schiff's words, and I never claimed otherwise. Just because Schiff says it doesn't mean you should believe it though, anymore than you believe anything Trump says, politicians lie for their own gain, and Schiff had every incentive to lie about Trump committing obstruction of justice and worse. Schiff is one of the biggest partisan hacks in American politics, and was long before Trump came along, acting like he is some trustworthy expert everyone should listen to is ridiculous.

He is offering Afghanistan a carrot, while letting them know the stick is ready to come down on them, should they not take the carrot, it's called bluffing for negotiation leverage. He never told any American citizens to go back where they came from, because in the very same sentence he told them to come back and show us how it's done. It's an expression, he wasn't seriously telling anyone to leave or come back. Funny how you only believe the go back part and ignore the come back part though, shows your obvious bias. It wasn't a joke when he criticized a congressman for doing little to help Baltimore and helping run the city into the ground with counter-productive Democrat policies, that was just the truth.
