Now can everyone leave Russia alone?
The fact that there was no collusion just proves how democrats are completely removed from an average Joe. They lost because they they didn’t care for anything except looking progressive. Now they are at it again: reparations, illegal amnesty/welcoming hordes of unvetted illiterate masses who will be a burden on taxpayer for years; shoving non traditional candidates down peoples throats.
Who needs Russia if dems are so good at digging their own graves?
It is also sad that there is no alternative really. Republicans are so backwards with their pro life views and fascination with religion. Trump at least does not sincerely believe any of that, he just cares about his own good. Who is there to like and vote for?
Please please American people leave my country alone and focus on your own problems.

If you don't like what America is saying about Russia then feel free to go back.

I believe Russia meddled. But I also think they always have meddled. And why wouldn't they? They are an economic rival.

Excellent thread by Kimberley Strassel:

1) On the #NoCollusion findings of Mueller's report. It's worth recognizing that this is more than an exoneration. It's a searing indictment of the FBI.

2) If you are going to investigate a presidential campaign, and on a charge as grave as collusion, and with the heavy-handed tactics the FBI employed--you'd better have a highly convincing reason to act. The Mueller report is a judgment that never was any real evidence.

3) The Papadopoulos conversation was always thin gruel. And the Mueller findings now prove the dossier was a fabrication. The country now deserves a full accounting of how the FBI blew this so badly--so that it doesn't happen again.

4) If Mueller has done his job, he will address some of this. But the real accounting needs to come from a full declassification of FBI/DOJ probe docs. Mueller report is only half the story. Time to go back to the beginning, to how we got a special counsel in first place.

Please accept my apology on behalf of my countrymen. There is, unfortunately, a residual Russophobia left over from the Cold War. It is basically a form of racism that has been treated as acceptable because Russians are white. The outcome of the American election was all about American problems, not Russian problems.

"Russian" is not a race.

Also why not ask the Skripils about fearing the Russian regime? I'm sure they would have lots of things to tell you.

Russian is a not a race (and race is a ridiculous concept). But the 'Russia hacked the 2016 election' story has depended in no small measure on treating Russians as somehow inherently devious. That is racialized nonsense, pure and simple.

Ask Venezuela or Gaza or Iraq or Afghanistan or Haiti or Libya or Syria about fearing the U.S. regime. Then realize that you too are pushing racialized Russophobia.

Time to remind people: the FBI operates without a legal charter. It was hatched by Teddy Roosevelt to pursue his agenda. It's time we re-examine the frightening powers we give to law enforcement and the intelligence agencies.

And, conservatives howled for.eight years because a black man was president. While I'm glad our current president is not probably an intentional traitor to his country, it doesn't mean I going to be quiet. You all certainly weren't.

OMG - you are delusional.

Seek professional help. Please?

The Russian here. Thank you. I still have a few years to decide who to vote for. I know I wouldn’t have voted for Trump in 2016.
I personally haven’t felt any racism towards me, but I have heard from friends about their kids being bullied by Hispanic kids who called them “trump’s kids”.
I think the Democratic Party needs to understand that there are many people inthe US now who 1) are eligible to vote 2) come from fairly traditional societies but represent the progressive class of said societies, and therefore come out as moderate here; 3) are not experiencing any white guilt (in fact many are not white) and 4) are engaged in their own struggle for financial well being too much to care about disadvantaged people.
Many of them had no idea how bad Trump would be, and his alternative was totally unacceptable to them.

Wait... you're actually claiming conservatives were "racist" if they disagreed with Obama's policies?? Why am I not surprised? You truly have learned nothing.

Trump is a birther. So is Melania.

Own it.

Yes, and that was ridiculous. But what does it have to do with "racism"?

He just noticed?

To be fair, he's said that all along. Remember how long it took Michelle Obama to acknowledge she was proud of her country?

Well I don’t like what Russia is saying about America either. It is a crazy regime now, I am not arguing that. I just think that the US should leave it to its own devices, just like the Russian propaganda should tone it down re: the US.

That Trump was too stupid to realize that Russia was trying to play him does not make me feel better.

That Hillary was too arrogent to do the basic campaigning that would have counteracted Russia's weak ass efforts doesn't make me feel better.

We're still left with the same scenario, a moron as a president who is hurting America and d-bag ex-candidate whose fault it is.

Oh, I feel so much better. Not.

No, that is not the summary.
This is accurate:

"The Special Counsel did not find that the Trump campaign, or anyone associated with it, conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in these efforts, despite multiple offers from Russian-affiliated individuals to assist the Trump campaign."

And that's really all that needs to be said. Succinct and clear - not sure how anyone could argue with that. (Though, naturally, they are!)

Arrogent? That’s not autocorrect.

Go ahead and recount the central claims of the birthers and see if you can figure it out.
