Its amazing the depths that folks have sunk. Its one thing to protest and appropriately voice opposition. Its quite another thing to ratchet that up to throwing anything you can find at the wall to see if it will stick. The "Russia thing" has been an on-going example of continuing to report on a non-story. Looks like MSNBC wants to take the Prez's tax returns in that same direction.

It's hilarious how the tax thing so spectacularly and completely backfired. Not only did this remind me of Geraldo Rivera's idiotic televised venture into Al Capone's vaults, but it also continued to demonstrate the grand hypocrisy of the left. The left loves to demonize the rich as greedy folks who don't pay their taxes. Yet we find Trump - at one point accused of not paying taxes - paid taxes at a higher rate than MSNBC/Comcast (24%), higher than Obama (18.7%), and higher than Chuck Schumer (11.3%).

Just perfect, poetic justice.
Yawn...another misdirection ploy from derp Trumpenfurher that fell flat on it's face.

The more I think about this, the more it smells. I think the using MSNBC really does go to show this is all a sham.

MSNBC made a spectacle...it was a drawn out hustle.

Rachel Maddow fell for an obvious setup on Trump's tax return.

So are you claiming that Hillary caused the deaths of these State Department employees?

Europe has destabilized itself.

Is Vlad responsible for moving over a million Poles, Lithuanians, Romanians into England and Wales in a short space of time?

Did Vlad shout to the world that Germany is open and welcoming to all and sundry and then when the folly became apparent decided to pay a bribe to Erdogan?

Did Vlad tell the Swedes to accept so many Muslims and then put them in segregated housing and bar them from Union jobs?

The Belgians and French exercise distinct housing segregation for their large Muslim population which leads to a long festering resentment and recurring riots. Not Vlad's fault.

Vlad is not responsible for Germany's rigidity with regards to Spain, Portugal and Greece. A regime of austerity has destabilized, marginalized that section of Europe. Yeah Vlad sold the hapless Greeks German tanks.

Yeah Vlad is responsible for open borders and One World Order.
Europeans, especially the left, have created a long term problem for themselves

It is a good thing to be anti-Russian in the sense of opposing the Putin government and his policies. I mean if you are pro-Putin you are for a man who has had opponents killed in cold blood.

Not the point, and you didn't answer / avoided my question. So, I'll ask it again:

Do you believe that a video on YouTube caused the violence in Libya that resulted in the death of State Dept employees, or do you believe that Clinton/Rice et al lied about when they blamed the violence on the video?
