yeah and the rosenbergs were interested in world peace, but they secretly collaborated with the russians to do it therefore they had to lock em up

China can't destroy the planet. Russia can. So, if any nuclear weapons are used anywhere, Russia is a concern.

Of course Clinton wasn't going to first strike nuke North Korea, so that wasn't the same worry that it is with Trump.

China's main concern with North Korea is that they'd prefer not to have 10 million starving North Koreans streaming into their country.

Democrats have claimed that Putin is continuing to advance into Korea, so asking the Russians first might be wise.

That and they don't want to share a long, hard-to-protect border with a thriving democracy.

Schiff calls for formation of independent commission

Since Schiff is going so HAM now's a good time to brag that I'm possibly somewhat related to him; like my great aunt marrying his great uncle or something.

Re: North Korea and Russia

1) Russia not as important as China, but they do have a role to play as a regional military power, a nuclear state, a Security Council member, and based on historical ties that date back to the Soviet days. Read up on the so-called 6 Party Talks (US, S. Korea, N. Korea, China, Russia, and Japan) for more details.

2) There are many reasons why having good relations w/ Russia COULD benefit the US. That being said, we need a thorough investigation to make sure that improved relations are being driven by our national strategic goals and not by the personal financial interests of the President and/or other high government officials.

Man, the corruption is so naked. I'm really starting to feel the banana republic developing.

If Elizabeth Warren is the exact opposite end of trump and people like your self I will gladly position my self there.
Sir, it is "God Emperor Trump", not "New god king".

And since you don't seem to be in the know, here the paraphrased oath from WH 40k:

"Trust in the God Emperor Trump at the hour of battle.
Trust to him to intercede, and protect his warriors true as they deal death on alien soil.
Turn their seas to red with the blood of their slain.
Crush their hopes, their dreams
And turn their songs into cries of lamentation."

- "Uphold the honour of the Emperor", vow of the Trump Supporters

With the oath our God Emperor Trump can hit 50%+ approval ratings.

Still hard to tell if its just that politics is out of control, or we're witnessing a massive attempted cover-up of something that would be jaw-dropping. Could be both I guess.

Schiff, while a bit monotone, is pretty good in front of the camera. The other Dem on now after him looks completely uncomposed in comparison.

This Russian thing seems to become the democrats Bhengazi, there might be more meat on it, but Republicans don't care and neither does most of the public. It would be way smarter to just trash the GOP for killing poor people with their plans just so that they can fill the pockets of their donors.

Probably true but even trump's polling with republicans is going down. There's multiple FISA warrants on trump according to nunes.

It appears the goal of the house investigation is to tell whoever's under investigation what the investigation has on them. That's quite a bit different than benghazi and WAAF.

Yes but whats right is right. We're talking about potential treason.
