    Yes and Kennedy/Johnson started the Vietnam War but Nixon put the "pedal to the metal" expanding war into Laos and Cambodia, carpet bombing and use of Agent Orange. I was still a kid. Even after that as an adult I became a Republican. I was never a Democrat but in recent times I left, or rather IMO, the Republican party left me. Now I am an Independent for life.

    As for Cuba, Cuban Americans voted with whatever party kept the Embargo in place. True Kennedy put it place. But since 1968 Republicans, including thru the Carter and Clinton's admins, kept it going. Anybody aaaaanybody knows that. Especially those of us who live in South Florida.

    I have to admit that prosecution of his associates, and eventually himself, is likely to "undermine" President Trump, just as you suggest. Of course, from your point of view the, FBI, the citizen grand juries, and the judges are all colluding with the swamp.

  5. A point of view supported by direct testimony of fbi employees and their texts.

    Even Baker, Chief Legal Counsel for the FBI, before he was moved out, said that he took Rosensteins suggestion/offer to wear a wire as absolutely serious.

    Oh, that's right, your superior intellect up there on Mount Olympus does not require you to look at the facts.

    back on ignore. just saw your name pop up but thought you had died and wanted to check on you. be well.

    And this is why he was moved - he didn't get the joke. Like many others that don't get the joke that is the current Prez.

  7. Sorry, but he was removed from his position as general counsel in December of 2017.

    The Rosenstein "wear a wire" episode was just six weeks ago or so.

    Big hug for you though.

    Your words .. "Even Baker, Chief Legal Counsel for the FBI, before he was moved out, said that he ..."

    Big hug back at you.

    Me I could care less either way.

  9. "Even Baker, Chief Legal Counsel for the FBI, before he was moved out"

    The structure of that sentence stated that he was Chief Counsel "before he was moved out" ie. to another position- which is true as stated. And it is also true that he moved out of that position before the rosenswamp/wire episode so he was not moved out as a result of that.

    I hope that you will be okay now with that unnecessary clarification, knowing that you are hanging on my every word.

    That makes no sense at all. Once again.

    Democrats in both houses of Congress were very much for sanctions against the Castro regime. For decades. In fact, google Democratic Congressman Robert Torricelli and the Cuban Democracy Act of 1992. He codified as US law the strangulation of Cuba until such time as it became a democracy and promoted the human rights of its citizens.

    In 1999 President Bill Clinton expanded the trade embargo by also disallowing foreign subsidiaries of U.S. companies to trade with Cuba.

    For you to say it was the Republicans that kept the embargo against Cuba going since 1968 is embarrassingly false. Both political parties despised and actively worked to undermine the Castro regime - for decades.
