Collusion isn't a crime

Buzzwords, brah. That's why I used them.

I could have used treason, fraud, or conspiracy, all of which are crimes and fit the bill.

In that entire post there was exactly 1 example of him not having the right context in a story

The rest are opinions of him. Seems if that’s all you got he is actually a pretty decent reporter/opinion writer

I just cut and pasted that stuff from Wikipedia, you can follow the links provided there if you are interested in more specific examples going back more than a decade. Don't you find it strange that he, as you said, is "one of the few actually digging into this stuff" if there are real stories there, like legitimate conservative reporters wouldn't be jumping all over those stories as well?

Account suspended, what's the context?

Wow, I clicked on page. Not only is she an absolute moron: she's a Tankie piece of shit to boot. Her comments on Democrats being worse than Republicans - because Trump isn't as bad as Bush....who was also a Republican - are mind blowingly stupid.

"Tankie"?

Terms for bootlicking leftists that toe the former party line on Soviet aggression, engage in apologetics for Stalin and the USSR, refuse to criticize communist regimes. Comes from English communists who supported USSR military interventionism. See also: Stalinists.

Meh, they're not that uncommon. And they're becoming more common as a reaction to right-wing strongman politics. And they're not dissimilar from republicans, in that they will swivel their supposed principles on a dime to keep power and reason backwards from the party line.

I'm so tired of the extreme left and right.

I hope things swing back toward the center soon

Tying up loose ends?

A Russian official who reportedly directed foreign operations for Natalia Veselnitskaya died Wednesday in a helicopter crash. According to The Hill, Saak Albertovich Karapetyan crashed outside of Moscow in a forest in the Kostroma area.

Karapetyan, 58, was a Russian deputy attorney general who is believed to have assisted Veselnitskaya, the lawyer who met with senior Trump campaign officials in the Trump tower in 2016. The deputy attorney general was allegedly part of the team behind the effort to overturn the Magnitsky Act, an anti-corruption act passed in the U.S. in 2012. He also worked to derail international investigations in Russia’s purported crimes.

Did you guys see that the pilot of this helicopter was shot twice in the back?

Is normal. In plane crash, bullets often fly.

 

[all caps]

Really unfortunate how that pilot flew back first in to a hail of bullets. Just really really bad luck. RIP

I'm sure it has nothing to do with Russian efforts to influence American politicians, special interest groups, and citizens, either.

Just coincidence. Ammo box was stored in pilot's cabin. Co pilot was smoking, and blew up box. Pilot tragically die, while co pilot die from smoking.

LOL no. That center is based in starving the poor, cyclical recessions, and murdering foreigners. It's that center that makes Trump types inevitable.

Also, tankies are a distinctly right-wing subgroup of the left, which I suppose could make them centrist.

The not-extreme gives birth to the extreme?
No.

No.

Yes, absolutely.

The austerity and upward distributions of the center make countries susceptible to right-wing demagogue and they also make them amenable to radical transformations of economy and society.

The golden mean fallacy is...well, a fallacy.

No.
It's like saying not collecting stamps is a hobby.
The center is the middle position between extremes. That's its strength.
