it really gets tiresome arguing with people here who continue to insist the Trump campaign Russia investigation was a "hoax." It was not, and it never was, and the Mueller report made that clear.
Response: Mueller spent almost 200 pages describing “numerous links between the Russian government and the Trump Campaign.” He found that “a Russian entity carried out a social media campaign that favored presidential candidate Donald J. Trump and disparaged presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.” He also found that “a Russian intelligence service conducted computer-intrusion operations” against the Clinton campaign and then released stolen documents.
While Mueller was unable to establish a conspiracy between members of the Trump campaign and the Russians involved in this activity, he made it clear that “[a] statement that the investigation did not establish particular facts does not mean there was no evidence of those facts.” In fact, Mueller also wrote that the “investigation established that the Russian government perceived it would benefit from a Trump presidency and worked to secure that outcome, and that the Campaign expected it would benefit electorally from information stolen and released through Russian efforts.”
and another:
Myth: The investigation began with the Steele dossier.
Response: According the Mueller report, the investigation began in July 2016 after Wikileaks had released materials stolen from the computers of the Democratic National Committee. The FBI received information from a foreign government that Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos had told one of its representatives that “the Trump Campaign had received indications from the Russian government that it could assist the Campaign through the anonymous release of information damaging to Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.” Mueller’s report states, “That information prompted the FBI on July 31, 2016, to open an investigation into whether individuals associated with the Trump Campaign were coordinating with the Russian government in its interference activities.” Mueller makes no statement to indicate that the investigation was predicated on the Steele dossier, a series of reports that were compiled by former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele, who was hired by a research company that was working for a law firm paid first by a conservative website and later by the Clinton campaign.
I guess some people think by sheer repetition the myths will become true. Or maybe they are just trying to wear out anyone who will try to argue with them.

The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection has issued an
Air Quality Action Day for the following counties:

An Air Quality Action Day means that Ground Level Ozone within the

One of the many reasons — IMNSHO — that the Rose Garden has had staying power over the last decade or so includes the reality that multiple topics, overlapping issues, diverse POVs, etc, arrive spontaneously, and it is a little like a civics class you might actually enjoy — But, naturally, being political junkies, at times our tempers and frustrations erupt and we are unkind to others who have a different take on what’s happening in our Rose Garden.
But, I shall soldier on, ducking the anger, and smelling the roses!
for me, the thread has staying power because every day I'm curious to see what sort of outrageous lies you've posted.
Maplewoodstock will once again provide onstage interpretation in American Sign Language for the entire event -- offering access for all Deaf audience members and those who use ASL to communicate. If you need to see the sign language interpreters, please look for the "Deaf Area" signs that delineate the access area at the front right of the audience near the stage.
We thank these interpreters for their volunteerism to continue to evolve this free, two-day festival of Music and Arts, open-armed to all.
It is very hard to understand how anyone in America could oppose completely backing Ukraine. Russia invaded the country for Heaven's sake! So many thinks are like they were in the 1930s just before World War 2 started! Including all the Nazi's in the U.S. Very scary times! But nothing as bas as re-electing Trump would be. Can you imagine how short a time it would take for WW 3 when the US pulls out of NATO? More like hours than months.
might I suggest that some Biden supporters check out coverage of an event which took place in Washington yesterday. Please study the president’s posture and lack of expression, and tell me what you think.
Again, please watch the President delivering his speech if you believe he is not up to the job.
