Again Stretch...you don't even see the irony in your post. ****You are correct-I don't see the irony. Not convinced there is any. Either I am too dumb to understand or you are doing a poor job of pointing it out.
It is sort of like coaching and what Mike Leach use to say, you are either coaching it or allowing it to happen, or at least I think that is attributed to him.
I asked you about congress people saying it was Paul P's gay lover. Your response wasn't, that is horrible, that is wrong, that should never be said, that person should be corrected, your response is "can't they have an opinion.?" We aren't talking about political speech, or cute 3rd grade little nicknames like "Lyin Ted, Crooked Hilary". See, I can have third grade names as well...for the 2024 election cycle...."Dead on Arrival Donny, Triple D....Draft Dodger Donny, Agent Orange, Donnie BK7, Corporal Bone Spurs. But I digress. ****You are upset about people in Congress talking/speculating about whether PP had a gay lover. So I wonder what is wrong with that, since we all are supposed to enjoy the right of freedom of speech. Apparently you think that our congressional representatives should have their speech limited in some ways. I think that is wrong, they have the same free speech right as you and I. And going back to what started it all was how the police held back the 911 call audio and the security videos. When most all high visibility cases in the country have the audio/video evidence released quickly and in SF they hold it back, it leads to speculation.
You accept it. You may not even like it, But you accept it, as you do other behavior. ****Yes, I accept that we all have freedom of thought and speech (so far) in the United States. I don't agree with everything that is said, obviously, but I DO accept that everyone can pop off with whatever they want to.
Do I even need to get into "Russian Collusion". Seriously? If Hilary Clintons daughter (Chelsea) made contact with Russian contacts with dirt on Trump, then wanted to weaponize it, lied about it for six months saying it never happened, then there are emails and texts showing she actually held a meeting, I would have wanted Hilary impeached immediately. Ronald Reagan is rolling over in his grave. Russian collusion? Accepting Russian help in our elections is off limits in my mind. Especially in light of the fact they have 800 warheads pointed at us. I know, it is ok to get ...what's the buzz word....opposition research from foreign countries. It would have been interesting if anyone got "opposition research" from Iran or Iraq. For me, it isn't about person or political party, I just believe contacting Russian operatives is way out of bounds. You can call it what you want. As I said for me I wouldn't wait for a report, once Don Juniors name was on an email, I don't need anything else. ****It astonishes me that you would even want to get into this stuff. Did you forget that it was Hillary Clinton herself, along with her advisors and the Democratic National Committee that hired the folks to go get "op Research" from the Russians? Were you worried about those 800 nuclear warheads then? Oh, yes-did it also bother you when the FBI took the known lies from the Steele dossier and used them to deceive the FISA court to allow them to spy on the Trump campaign?
Now, if Trump said early on, hey my son made a mistake. He operated outside of where he should have, the mistake has been corrected. It would have been ok in my mind.(rookie mistake) If Hillary made that same declaration I wouldn't have been as forgiving.
Second, was Trump impeached because of "collusion". His campaign did have contact with them. In part they were correct. It should have been investigated. Did they prove collusion? Nope. That is hard to prove there was a big plan versus operating off the cuff. Of course they did impeach him for holding up aid to Ukraine. ****Trump was impeached in the court of public opinion over fake Russian collusion. Which isn't a crime, by the way. He was impeached for nothing other than Democrats had been working hard to ruin him since the day after the election in 2016. Wasn't it the WA Post that ran a headline along the lines of "Trump Impeachment Starts Today"?
