Yes! Let us never stop pointing out that Carter Page was considered a Russian agent before the dossier even existed!!!!!

Great Maddow on that tonight.

Keep in mind, Randy won't be running against ZOGS. The granny-starver's retiring at the end of this year.

The Congressional Record can be sliced and diced by congresscritters prior to publication. From http://lawdigitalcommons.bc... :

The revision privilege continues today as a matter of congressionaltradition. 9 However, the present privilege allows membersof Congress to make more than merely mechanical revisions.The privilege "permits the speaker to engage in wholesale additionto or deletion from his speech [before it is printed in theRecord]. He may omit the speech in its entirety or even substitutea new text."10

Talk about rewriting history ...

Hahahahaha. My reps hear from me on an almost daily basis.

As they are all pretty liberal, it’s all pretty complimentary.

Disappointingly dated, 'that Memo Show'.. Had hoped for new material. Its like 'Happy Days' had kept on jumping the shark, more and more, ten times an episode, in the hope that THIS TIME it'd be funny. Reviving 'Benghazi' season after season didn't work, either-- Could they learn ANYTHING from that? NOOOOOOOOO.

Where to start.I will claim that what has happened is a failure to propagandize as effectively as in the past. Consider the highlights - the USA... :...started with accepting help from local tribes to survive unexpectedly harsh winters, followed by genocide of local tribes (some due to accidentally causing rampant epidemics, granted) and grave robbing... convened trials brought on by mass hysteria triggered over some poor widow having a nicer cow than the rich preacher (allegedly), said trials resulting in multiple convictions for witchcraft.... enshrined slavery as a way of getting to the country and making a start after paying off the debt (indentured servitude) until the trade began to tilt toward all black African subjects. Clearly, the argument was, black people cannot be granted citizenship because 'biblical truth' doesn't support it (thanks for the quote, Josh Hawley)... Civil War breaks out, forcing the south to switch from slaves to sharecroppers. Unexpected bonus for plantations - sharecropping turns out to be cheaper in many cases.... population pressures push settlers West - and we get a bonus round of genocide.

The list just keeps going and going, and includes blatant racism, hidden racism, cynical manipulation of racism (see: Republican Southern Strategy), isolationism in the face of foreign racism enshrined (see: Nazi Germany), jumping on that whole concentration camp idea for Japanese Americans, Jim Crow laws and...Voting restrictions, vote rigging, gerrymandering... etc., etc., et f-ing cetera.Not that I am bitter or anything. I'd be terrified, instead, but I think I have run out of adrenaline.

You have misread what I stated. I have not made excuses of Ryan. Is Ryan a liar? Sure, he is a politician. Clue - they all lie.

BTW, please educate yourself on the legal code for prosecuting treason before you make claims that cannot be substantiated.

How dare they bring up civil liberties? How fucking dare they?! They want authoritarian rule. Human rights and civil liberties mean nothing to these sociopaths.
