Paddler, sorry, this isn't a courtroom.
The 'evidence' is all around you, if you dared to open your eyes. Evidence is fact. When you put it in quotes, as "evidence", it's BS. Facts matter, truth matters. The evidence is clear, read the Mueller Report.

If I recall, the Mueller Report didn't hold up under scrutiny. A big nothingburger…..just like the impeachment attempt.
Gotta love President Trump! He fights the fight every day, and his spirit is still high.
Four more years!!!

Don't you worry your head about your President Trump. He's doing a hell of a job for our country. The rest of us have his back.
What the hell happened to your great hope, Bloomberg, last night????
Holy hell. Do you think that damage will buff out?
For a smart man, I'm surprised he went into battle with no ammo, and let those clowns work him over with no counterbattery fire.
Trump has now installed one of his lackeys as acting DNI, and one of Nunes' aides as acting Deputy DNI. Good luck with that. You guys are f'ing idiots. .....................Well guess what Piddles the DUMMY........ANY sitting POTUS has the authority under the articles of the US Constitution to hire AND FIRE anyone he chooses as HEAD of the EXECUTIVE branch..... WE are idiots Paddle PUSSY??? NO Paddler!! YOU ARE.....Because in all of your posts during all of these past many months, NOT ONE and I mean NOT ONE of your gripes and bitches concerning Trump, have YOU ever cited the any laws, any specific clauses or statutes, any Constitutional grounds THAT JUSTIFIES your case against him.....NOT A ONE! All you do CLOWN, is just transfer the BIG lib Trump hating talking points from your lying media sources to this forum......That's all....... So Peddles the garbage man!!!.......You have LOST...You are LOSING...And you WILL continue to lose, and lose, and lose, and lose, and lose, and lose, and lose, and lose, and lose some more,,,,all the while,,, Trump and the country is winning, winning, winning, winning, winning, winning and winning ALOT MORE!!! ....... You Paddles are an exercise in absolute FUTILITY!!!

Piddles, I think Trump’s contacts to Vlad are Boris Bityourtitsoff and Igor Rotyourcockoff. Those two guys have been very busy running cover for Trump. You’re such a loser sinking in the garbage disposal again.

Hey Paddles,
They just announced that the Russians had been caught intervening to help BERNIE SANDERS's campaign and the CIA has briefed Sanders about it.
Boy are you stupid!
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

So what does Trump have to say about these latest reports of Russia's interference in our election? Did he call out Putin? I don't remember hearing that. I wonder why Putin is favoring Bernie? Does he believe that Trump has a chance to beat Bernie in a general election? You guys are too stupid to live.

What did Zero do when Chinese hacked OPM stole 21 million Fed personnel info, including who had Secret and Top Secret Clearances? What did Zero do when finding out about Russian hacking in 2015? I’ll tell you what he did, nothing. Are you all worked up about that? My guess is no because you’re a partisan hack and truly a low information voter. What a joke.

You guys are too stupid to live. ................Hey Paddle PUSS........Just another post from you in which you cite no Constitutional grounds, laws, statutes, NOTHING whatsoever from any legal standpoint which justifies either impeachment for Trump or anything else your fantasy brain would prefer. The Mueller report DUMMY, found NO Russian collusion by the Trump campaign and found evidence of any prosecutorial offenses. Trump you IDIOT does not need to say a damned thing about anything if he chooses not to...MORON!... AND HE HAS called Putin out you forgetful CLOWN!..... Ya know what Paddles....If you were a lawyer prosecuting ANY CASE, and tried to use all of the same type of ramblings, speculations, opinions from news sources coupled with your own stupid opinions etc as a guide for your prosecution (like you always use against Trump) in any court of law,,,,YOU WOULD FAIL MISERABLY....... You are such an IGNORANT, idiotic, and stuuuuuuupid individual............

Piddle Paddle, why would the Russians want to help Trump? Think about it objectively if you can.
Trump has imposed more sanctions against Russia than any other President. He is pressuring Merkel in Germany to not buy natural gas from Russia. He has actually helped the Ukraine militarily, unlike Obama. He has demanded NATO members to pay what they committed to. He has reined in Russia in Syria. Trump killed Solemani. Guaranteed Russia advised Solemani.
Obama did nothing to stop Russian incursion into 6he Ukraine. Hillary sold Russia uranium.
The intelligence agencies have not yet been purged of Democratic operatives. That needs to be done ASAP. Same with Justice and the FBI.
If Russia is helping anyone, it would be Comerade Bernie or Liahontas.
This is just disinformation.

This ^^^ You would have to be brain-dead to think Putin would not have LOVED to have Hildabeast in the White House.
He owns her, and she is a cheap date compared to Trump, who really, really, really does not need any corrupt payola.
Once again, commie playbook... accuse your opponents of what YOU YOURSELF are doing.

Supposedly the Russian troll farms are pimpin Bernie too. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...presidential-campaign-report/4835049002/WASHINGTON – U.S. officials have reportedly told Sen. Bernie Sanders that Russia is attempting to help his presidential campaign, a revelation that follows U.S. intelligence officials briefing Capitol Hill that the Kremlin may also be attempting to help President Donald Trump in 2020 as they did in 2016. The warning about the Russia effort to help Sanders, which was first reported by The Washington Post, was also information given to Trump and lawmakers on Capitol Hill.
Remember why, specifically, the Bill of Rights was written...remember its purpose. It was written to limit the power of government over the individual.
There is no believing a liar, even when he speaks the truth.
