President Donald Trump appears to have changed his story about a 2016 meeting at Trump Tower that is pivotal to the special counsel's investigation, tweeting that his son met with a Kremlin-connected lawyer to collect information about his political opponent.
[...] That is a far different explanation than Trump gave 13 months ago, when a statement dictated by the president but released under the name of Donald Trump Jr., read: "We primarily discussed a program about the adoption of Russian children that was active and popular with American families years ago."

The best you have is that if the info had a monetary value and was given free, it could be considered a donation of that value. Well, no info was given, and there has been nothing to suggest that the info would have been free if it existed.
You know who was getting opponent research from foreigners? Yeah... HER. Did she pay full price?

It didn't happen, and if it did it wasn't illegal!
Fucking hell, can you not SEE the people you are aligning yourself with? Your entire argument boils down to "well YOUR candidate was terrible too!!!" when a lot of liberals around here did NOT vote for Hillary and we think she is a terrible person for torpedoing Bernie.
Stop with the whataboutism and admit that you got the GOP version of Hillary, you got worked over by a Donald. An angry duck who can only preen his own feathers and has already sold out all his supporters whether they realize it or not. You're backing a turd, much like any Hillary supporters would be doing if she had won.
Come to terms with it, then meet us regular folk who didn't want either of the two options.

Guys like you are just as responsible for trump as that lickspittle.
The fact that you think obama 2.0, aka hillary was the equivalent of trump and refused to vote for her had the same mathematical effect as the people voting for trump.
hillary was flawed, but nothing even remotely like trump's flaws, not even close.
and fools like you making that false equivalence are just unwitting tools of trump and his backers.
You don't have to apologize for fucking up, you don't even have to retract that bullshit you regurgitated about clinton because nothing you can do will undo your roll in electing trump.
But JFC now that you see where it got us, have some self-awareness, do some introspection and stop repeating that same idiocy going forward

We did not get the GOP version of Hillary.
That would be McCain, Romney, or Jeb. All of them were globalists like Hillary and Obama. Well, I guess we did elect Bush Jr., but we weren't too fond of him, and that was many years ago.
Opposition to Trump is nearly the same as opposition to America itself. He is doing wonderful things for his country. He has, at least temporarily, saved the USA from decay and destruction.

True

So false it reeks. trump's put a veener of gold lame over the most rotten, diseased administration in living memory. Just read today's investigative report about how he's put three multi-millionares buddies who pay him hundreds of thousands to hang at tsar-a-lago and have never served in charge of the VA.
