Speaking of double standard, we've now had a confirmed TWO FISA subpoenas that looked into the Russian connections to the Trump campaign, initiated just prior to the Nov elections, one of those specifically targeting the server used, and to this day, NOTHING........as in NOTHING.  So, who is the media still allowing the Dems to run these baseless allegations??

Class is in

Hate it, or hate it more, at least the GOP is up front in trying to explain the legislation, vs Peolosi's tactic of ramming it down our throats to "see what's in it"

Apparently it's one of the few things Clinton was being truthful about.....lecturing us that if folks didn't accept the results of the election, our very democracy could be at risk

Discussion is far more difficult when 1 side, hightails it with the 1st sign of disagreement.  But at least you're making an effort here, so that's a good start

We all generally subscribe to the same news feeds, H.  What I referred to here as "informative" is precisely what you referenced, different thought processing under the same situation/scenario.  How it might influence my thought processing.  We all love the idea of new blood....doesn't help when you erroneously proclaim to any would be prospects that  that this is some good ol boys club, when we all can disagree

No, Sessions didn't lie....he simply wasn't as clear as he could have been.  As I said, a molehill of a molehill.  A lie to me is an overt attempt to deceive.  So, Sessions either is the dumbest AG since......Lynch, with how easily it was shown that not just he, but nearly every other congress critter has met with the Russian Ambassador, or he simply wasn't clear in that he never met with the Russians to discuss the campaign.  If you want to call it a lie, fine, that's your perrogative.  I'm not on any type of witch hunt to try and shoot down every one of Trump's cabinet picks, with some verbal technicality.

And your points on not requiring some official order on a wire tap, is absolutely valid....I've heard numerous folks connected with the NSA or FBI echoing the same thing.  So, Obama can "truthfully" say he gave no such order....doesn't mean it wasn't done.  But at the same times, doesn't justify some ridiculous accusatory tweet, minus any evidence to the accusation

Flynn may have been a "victim", but unlike Sessions, who had a perfectly legal postition, as a senator, to dialog with any Ambassador, including the Russian Ambassador, Flynn was still a private citizen when he was speaking to the Russian Government.  Doesn't matter he was going to be part of a Trump Administration.  He wasn't being up front, and kind of hung Pense out to dry, when he defended Flynn's original position, that he had absolutely no contact.

In whatever effort he felt obligated to faciltate possible actions to lessen the tension between the U.S. & Russia, he messed up, and appropriately tendered his resignation.

The Sessions' molehill is nothing but a molehill, and showcasing Democrats acting utterly desperate. 

The wiretapping tweet was a ridiculous tactic, and diminishes that great joint congress speech he gave last week.

..... So what else would you like to talk about Flynn?

I'm assuming the basics of math & reality.  When a city (or state) embraces anyone that wants to come in illegally, and will even protect them from Federal prosecution for their crime of entering illegally, with many of these illegal immigrants having precious little to support themselves, much less a family, that's a Democrat politician's dream...more potential votes to push for more Government assistance, at a greater cost to tax payers.  A win win for the politician, and a lose lose for the middle class
