They are non-factors in the actions of Trump. He's the only president atm. A despicable one, but the one and only.

Alright this is not directed at just this post but several I've seen before in this thread in the same sense:

I know you really dont want people to look at the democratic party, but the thread is about US politics as well, not just Trump. I find it amazing that you politically correct farces best answer to corruption on your side, the side that you defended (IT WAS HER TURN, SHE WON THE POPULAR VOTE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE) is "b-b-b-ut, hitler drumpf!". Oh yeah, the DNC received a lot of money from Harvey Weinstein and Obama literally sent his daughter to intern at his company (((pure coincidence)))) "but DRUMPF IS EVIL I swear, so dont look at us". We are against wars and for the health of the world and russia is evil and conspiring with trump, and im sure he only became rich doing illegal stuff, but what you say? irresponsible trade of uranium with russia and money laundering during obama administration?? "b-b-but DRUMPF is president and despicable so who cares about that!"

Criticize the president, you definitely should. But do not for a second pretend to be good people. You use words like bigot and the many "ists" to control others, not because you care. If you truly cared about doing what's right you wouldnt be so dismissive of the democratic party corruption.

I said it before and I'll say it again, Trump is the best thing to happen to american politics, he defeated both parties, creating the best opportunity for reform within them and for others to become more prominent. I see a lot of you arent for reform though, which tells me all I need to know about how virtuous your intentions truly are. You people really arent much different than hooligans. and you still dont get (or dont want others to get) how you are not so different from the religious ultra-conservative right.

I'm not expressing an opinion here I would just like to know one thing:

Why in the hell would Russia need uranium from the US? They have enough uranium in the Urals and other places. Just asking. I have not followed this story.

If there is something hinky here (and there always is when you are dealing with politicos of any stripe) don't you think maybe Russia might have been a go between? Maybe they were selling it to Iran or NoKO?

There's a bigly difference between uranium and highly enriched uranium.

They got tons of that shit too. Trust me. They don't have the anti nuke lefties running loose all over their country like in America telling them they can't enrich their uranium. They have many facilities there. Many more than in America.

I don't know what the wicked witch was trying to pull or if maybe she was dealing with another of her terrorist friends that was using Russia as a cover?

That I would believe.

We're living in a timeline where this is a real tweet.

Left is the new status quo and "conservatism" is the new counterculture. I don't see myself as less liberal than before, I just see a bunch of so-called progressives who've abandoned their principles of fighting for change and sold out to shill for corporate welfare.

What I like about Trump is that he divides establishment politics against itself. It's strange this isn't viewed as far left, isn't it?

He certainly has disrupted US politics. In the long run that disruption will probably produce improvements. But he has not been good for the American people. It is looking more and more like he will make life for average people worse while giving more money to the very rich. As president his job is to work for all the people. He is failing in that.

A centrifuge (aluminum tubes), sodium hexafluoride and lots of time are the only practical differences.

Not to mention that breeder reactors yielding Plutonium are far more productive and efficient than trying to mechanically separate U235 from U238 in a long tedious process.

Hard to say, but now that CNN, MSNBC and the rest are all fervently covering this new "Russian" story, I'm sure we'll get to the truth.

Oh - nevermind, it obviously isn't a newsworthy story...

CNN and NBC's silence is complicity.
