@DPBeachNY @shaunmmaguire To prove that u need a written agreement or a paper trail that proves intent & coordinated action e.g trump would have had to document they sent the data to help Russia’s illegal op & russia would have had to document they used it. That would be idiotic for them to document.

@grote_sam @shaunmmaguire All you need is an underlying understanding between the parties. Mueller expressly said no such understanding was even found. Not finding anything of that sort destroys the then prevailing narrative.

I fear that very few on the left will watch this video And even fewer will believe what they’re hearing But make no mistake, this is one of the most important stories in American history The Trump-Russia hoax defined the 2016 and 2020 elections

@DPBeachNY @shaunmmaguire But let’s just agree this has run its course and get on with our Saturday!

@grote_sam @shaunmmaguire Now, you are up to three times

@DPBeachNY @shaunmmaguire I’m not misrepresenting anything. I’ve agreed these contacts & sharing of data didn’t establish coordination as a fact. My point is that proving its a fact is very hard bc it requires them to leave a paper trail & they’re not dumb. But it’s still strong circumstantial evidence.

@grote_sam @shaunmmaguire And yes, there were contacts. And Mueller (with his insane 2800 subpoenas, 500 warrants and 500 interviews) looked at all of them very closely. And, after all of that, he was unable to find a single example of the simple coordination he was looking for.

@DPBeachNY @shaunmmaguire Okay this is going nowhere bc you don’t want to listen and respond to what I’m saying. If you want to believe these 100+ contacts and sharing of polling data was a random coincidence done for no reason, all bc Trump & Russia didn’t leave a paper trail or confession, be my guest.

@grote_sam @shaunmmaguire They found literally no evidence of a connection between this polling data and Russian election activities. None.

@DPBeachNY @shaunmmaguire For example. Sending them polling data wasn’t deemed conclusive evidence bc there was no proof that it was used in Russia’s social media ops. But give me a break. That’s clearly not something our POTUS should be doing.

@DPBeachNY @shaunmmaguire I didn’t reject the quote. I’m pointing out that it’s referring to conclusive evidence that would make it a fact. Akin to a confession. That doesn’t mean there was no circumstantial evidence.

@DPBeachNY @shaunmmaguire It’s not shocking at all that the Trump campaign didn’t document an agreement to work with Russia.

@grote_sam @shaunmmaguire Mueller was explicit that he did not establish any coordination. End of story. Not sure why you are minimizing this fairly shocking admission.

@DPBeachNY @shaunmmaguire This would be definitive evidence like DNA in a murder. There is significant circumstantial evidence of coordination. The Russians told the Campaign, the Campaign told no law enforcement & then communicated with Russian agents 140 times, including sharing polling data.

@grote_sam @shaunmmaguire Here is the quote referencing no evidence of participation: "..investigation did not identify evidence that any Campaign official or associate knowingly and intentionally participated in the conspiracy to defraud that the Office charged, namely, the active-measures conspiracy"

@DPBeachNY @shaunmmaguire I’m not sure if it was enough to prosecute (the obstruction was though) but it was enough that ppl should be asking way more questions. And it’s way more than this silly report from Gabbard.

@DPBeachNY @shaunmmaguire This just isn’t true. He didnt find sufficient evidence to establish that coordination was a fact and explicitly said that he didn’t exonerate Trump of anything.

@DPBeachNY @shaunmmaguire And for the record, establishing something as a fact is a higher bar than what is required for criminal prosecution.

@DPBeachNY @shaunmmaguire He followed that up by explicitly stated that just because they did not establish a fact doesn’t mean they didn’t find evidence of that fact. And then lays out all the evidence.

@bennyjohnson You are truly an awful person. Because I know you are capable of understanding that Russia not hacking voting systems doesn’t mean they didn’t hack voter databases (they did), the DNC (they did) and conduct an illegal social media op targeting US voters (they did).

DON'T MISS THIS: The single most important moment of transparency in US Government history... The Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard just declassified proof of treason by President Obama. I have never in my life seen the Intelligence Community declassify proof of their own crimes against the American people. The evidence is astonishing: - U.S. intel admitted Russia did NOT hack the 2016 election - Obama pushed the Russia hoax to sabotage Trump - The Steele dossier was fake, but Comey used it anyway - Brennan and Clapper entrenched the hoax deep into the Intel Community and punished whistleblowers - Corporate media was used to launder fake government propaganda relentlessly - The Russia probe was an insurrectionist plan to take down Trump They knew Russia didn’t interfere in the election, yet they fabricated intelligence to justify a years-long effort to overthrow Trump. This was a deliberate campaign of treason aimed at removing a legitimately elected president. The treason is exposed. We have the names. Now it’s time to hold them accountable.

@JTLonsdale @LeslieBarandky So assuming the worst about all people who engage in an action based on the actions of others is patriotic and “thinking for yourself?” I’m going to call bullshit on that.

@LeslieBarandky If that was all it was, would people have been fired in Hollywood and other leftist orgs for not doing it? Would there have been immense cultural pressure demanding it, with companies scrambling? History of PC and Leftism puts it in perspective. Now you know the real reason.

This is why patriotic men and women who think for themselves will often be wary of you for having pronouns on your bio: especially if you’re straight and your gender is obvious. It’s a clear instance of going along with the dangerous power and goals of PC, aka cultural Marxism.

@sama You can’t treat the Democratic Party as some homogenous group. There are many democrats aligned with you particularly here in NC. Using your platform and reach to work with and amplify us is the best way to reshape the national party.

I’m not big on identities, but I am extremely proud to be American. This is true every day, but especially today—I firmly believe this is the greatest country ever on Earth. The American miracle stands alone in world history. I believe in techno-capitalism. We should encourage people to make tons of money and then also find ways to widely distribute wealth and share the compounding magic of capitalism. One doesn’t work without the other; you cannot raise the floor and not also raise the ceiling for very long. The world should get richer every year through science and technology, but everyone has to be in the “up elevator”. I think the government usually does a worse job than markets, and so we need to encourage our culture of innovation and entrepreneurship. I also believe that education is critically important to keeping the American edge. I believed this when I was 20, when I was 30, and now I am 40 and still believe it. The Democratic party seemed reasonably aligned with it when I was 20, losing the plot when I was 30, and completely to have moved somewhere else at this point. So now I am politically homeless. But that’s fine; I care much, much more about being American than any political party. I’d rather hear from candidates about how they are going to make everyone have the stuff billionaires have instead of how they are going to eliminate billionaires. The American experiment has always been messy. I am hopeful for another great 250 years. Happy 4th!

@RoKhanna You didn’t even read the article did you? The bookstore explicitly said it was because of her decision to use book sales to fund anti-trans activity. So unless Plato rises from the dead and starts an anti-trans org, then no they aren’t.

Progressives must be consistently for free speech & not censor books because they disagree with the views of the author. What's next? Will the store no longer sell the Republic because Plato accepted slavery as part of ancient Greek society?

@augustdragon1 @mikefor35 It’s quite telling that you answered my first question but not my second one…

@grote_sam @mikefor35 Yes, I want her to resign.

Then why are NC House Democrats like Julie von Haefen legitimizing political violence?

@kane You know instead of calling this guy dumb - and then extending that to the tens of millions of ppl that call themselves “leftists” - you could try to engage with him to identify what’s causing the disagreement and see if you can change his mind with facts and logical reasoning.

Leftism exists bc there are entire swathes of people unable to understand that policies like free markets can have emergent outcomes that are better than trying to do the thing through a state monopoly controlled by bureaucrats that think like them (ie unable to understand).
