As an aside, the Conservative Treehouse was referenced during a televised interview on FOX News yesterday; I'll see if I can find here's the link. Laura Ingraham refers to the Treehouse at apx. 1:28; the "writer" is Sundance:
FBI Director Comey Lied To House Intelligence Committee About Surveillance Of Trump Comey should be hauled back to testify before the committee on March 28th - Klayman to be present at hearing
Freedom Watch Notifies Congress of “Deep State” Intelligence Whistle-Blower – Full PDF By Sundance, 03/22/2017
Freedom Watch notifies Congress of a “Deep State” intelligence community whistle blower, Dennis Montgomery, with hundreds of millions of documents showing CIA and FBI and Intelligence Committees whre spying on, and conducting surveillance on, American citizens for political purposes.
Mr. Montgomery is trying to use a legal “whistle-blower” process and not follow the same approach as Edward Snowden.
I watched a number of the question and answer sessions via YouTube and agree with your assessment. Gorse have is stellar. The Dem Senators are proving themselves craven buffoons.
FB,
Legally speaking, Comey didn't lie, since neither Trump nor anyone on his team was actually targeted for surveillance. The intercepts referencing Trump people at issue are being called "incidental", meaning the surveillance was targeting other, in this case foreign, people of interest.
The crime is in the dissemination of the classified intercepts, and in the dubious unmasking of identities of American citizens, in this case people on the Trump team. It appears to be the equivalent of a digital witch hunt for partisan political advantage, but one that found zero, cause you know that if they'd found something, thus have used it.
"we are asked to believe that someone from the Trump campaign conspired with someone from the Russian government to influence the 2016 presidential election, and the best scheme they could come up with was to hack into Debbie Wasserman-Schultz’s email account. And leave behind signals that the intrusion was done by Russians. Seriously?"
The premise is hilarious, but it won't fly in the real world....
But you kinda wanna try to.
It's about the Federal Judge ruling on Trump's anti-terrorism refugee order..... which says NOTHING about the law, but instead uses motivation ( Donald's twits ) as an excuse to break the law. Followed to it's logical conclusion, it's funny.
And infuriating.
You can't use "progressive logic" to battle progressive lies. Because the "logic" ( rationalization ) is dishonest. Go ahead, try. The Progressive will call you on the dishonesty. And win. The fact that they just used the exact same argument means nothing. Dishonest also means inconsistent. Without shame... since... dishonest.
...neither Trump nor anyone on his team was actually targeted for surveillance.
Says who?
Did you even read the letter from Larry Klayman to Devin Nunes? I went to great lengths last night to post-up fact-checkable stuff, including two links to the letter.
Where do you get your news? No need to answer, I already know.
Thanks, Ferris, as I nominate you for President of the Badweb Debating Team. I mean this as a complement.
Does anyone here watch "One America News"? It surprisingly has high density news coverage leaning with a Conservative voice. It is available on ATT Uverse in most states, but not Virginia.
It is being reported that the Democrats will filibuster the Honorable Neil Gorsuch's nomination. With reluctance, it is time to invoke Harry Reid's Nuclear Option and begin to wash away the intransigence of the Democrat Party. May every Democrat lose in 2018 for their contempt of America and its Constitution.

Gracias, amigo! That said, you and I have broken bread (and wind!) together on many occasions over the years, thus you know from first-hand experience that my working IQ barely sneaks me into "sentient being" territory. I nominate YOU, and I'll be in charge of keeping copious amounts of Terminator Stout on tap for the debate team!

If at all possible we need to reserve that option for P45's second SCJ nominee, coming (hopefully) later this year...
Is it me ? Or are the R's just as stupid as the D's, instead of talking about Trump care failing, why aren't they saying something like, our plan would not have passed because we also couldn't get any Democrats to vote with us to start getting rid of Obama care. Yes we had R's, that would have voted no because they didn't think it was a good enough deal after reading it as opposed to, the Dems not reading the Obama care bill but voting 100% for it without knowing what was in it ! This is all a show, B.S. I think they planned all of this to make believe they are trying to do something but, in reality they're going about doing things behind the scenes, like passing legislations that would now allow the killing of bears and wolves in there dens ! Yes, you heard right, I already verified it. I mean, WTF is wrong with these morons. I'm a hunter and would never approve of something so wrong ! And I don't even like a wolves !
Force these assholes to take the same medical coverage that the people have, then you'll see health care get fixed. They're more concerned with giving a big tax break to the rich than helping the very people that put them into office !
No self respecting Wiccan would do such a thing. Curses backfire. Bad intent brings bad results for the person casting a curse.
Never mind that "magic" is ( almost certainly ) imaginary. The Wiccan faith believes that your intent comes back to you three fold. ( Which is probably stolen from the Jesuits, but i digress )
Hostile intent brings bad results. Real witches wouldn't Curse the President.
Pay it forward is a major part of the faith. You do good for other's sake, and believe that it's simply good, ( karma ) not to profit from your charity.
This is in stark contrast to "snowflake" culture, which is full of virtue display for selfish reasons. "Of course I'm a good person, I bought lunch for an entire African Village with the money I saved by just getting a single half-caf mocha cinni-bun latte with soy milk, instead of a Vente."
Someone like, ( let's pick someone I don't like ) Mitt Romney may donate a million dollars to help the poor and never tell a soul. Someone like, ( just to be mean ) Madonna makes sure there's a press release when she drops a dollar into a Salvation Army bucket at "winter holiday".
The first is charity. ( I understand Christians like this kind of thing ) The second is Virtue Signalling. ( leftists LIVE for this sort of thing. )
The last time that was popular here it turned out to be evil horny priests that couldn't get a Lewinski from a teenage girl then had them murdered to cover up their actions. "Don't listen to her! She's a Witch! Her Words will Damn Your Soul!"
Most Wiccans I know are great folk and pretty much modern hippies. With jobs & mortgages, but this ain't the '60s.
Which California flake? I'm all for burning at the stake for the right reasons. Religious differences are not good reasons.
I hate to admit it but years ago I owned a copy of the Green Witch's Grimoire. It was all a bunch of stupid hippy crap, "leave a crystal in a glass of water in the moonlight - drink the water the next morning and you'll feel positive energy all day!" kind of stuff. The same stupid touchy feely tree hugger stuff you'd expect to hear at a nudist vegan gluten-free drum circle.
Burning at the stake is not OK. If someone is guilty of something that warrants execution, terminate them efficiently and be done with it and move on to bigger and better things. Snowden, Berghdal, Manning, they all deserve a traitor's death. Do what has to be done but don't be a female dog about it.
Do what has to be done but don't be a female dog about it.
I agree, you have to save impalement and other torture killing for the special occasions. ( sarcastic humor mixed with reluctant seriousness )
Normally, I'd argue against the death penalty on moral and practical grounds. OTOH I understand the Cold Equations and sometimes you have to throw someone out the airlock.
And while there is no denying the moral issues, there is no reason to add to your karmic burden, ( insert your preferred psychobabble here ) take joy in another's misfortune, be cruel, etc. while doing so.
end rant.
About "witchcraft". I prefer the fictional. Willow, Sabrina, Salem ( Penn Jillette, condemned to be a cat as punishment for being a jerk of a witch ) Angelina Jolie in "Maleficent", the whole cast of "Charmed".... uh, what were we talking about?
Oh, yeah, Trump cursed by Witches. Film at Eleven.
The AHCA failed....because it was poorly written and instead of Killing ObamaCare, it granted legacy and continuity funding of the monster until 2026. There are smart ways to Kill ObamaCare - the ones I have built don't required Congress at all - Just a stamp of approval from HHS Sec Tom Price. Until he or his staff READ their mail, we will continue to expand overseas - 20 Countries so far. No big Government - Pure market solutions.
