But you will duck and run and not answer. I know this because that’s what you do.

BaronVonZemo's Rules of Liberalism:

Liberalism Rule #1 - accuse others of that which you are/do.
Liberalism Rule #2 - the rules apply to thee and not me
Liberalism Rule #3 - We know what is best, thus the ends justify the means.
Liberalism Rule #4 - We believe ourselves to be smarter thus, we cannot admit that we are wrong.
i) Admitting mistakes undermines the premise of being smarter, ergo self correction is not possible.
Liberalism Rule #5 - What didn’t work last time, will work next time (see 4 i.)
Liberalism Rule #6 - When we lose, change the rules.
i) Whenever convenient, change the definition to suit our goal.
Liberalism Rule #7 - Appeasement (using other people's money - usually taxpayers) is the best deterrent to conflict.
Liberalism Rule #8 - Totally Differentism - when we do something that we don’t like others doing, it is always “totally different”.
Liberalism Rule #9 - Equity through inequity (any difference must be equalized by pulling down the
unaffected party. Vengeance is preferable).
Liberalism Rule #10 - We support our representative speaking regardless of the truth (in contrast to
conservatives who support the truth regardless of the representative speaking it).
Liberalism Rule #11 - We vote on personality over policy.
Liberalism Rule #12 - Genetics are selective. We believe that sexuality and guilt are genetic, but gender is not. Scientific proof is not required.
Liberalism Rule #13 - Do SOMETHING! When a crisis happens, do SOMETHING! It doesn't have to have to work, but it must: a) make us feel better which is more important than actually solving the crisis, and b) advance the liberal agenda.
Liberalism Rule #14 - "You’ll have to show us a lot more than rock solid, irrefutable evidence”.
Liberalism Rule #15 - There are no universal truths. The truth changes to fit our needs.
Liberalism Rule #16 - The Expert Threshold. If a false narrative has enough “experts” backing it, it becomes truth regardless of evidence to the contrary. “Experts” are defined as those who support the narrative, and they can be conjured if necessary (because of Liberalism Rule #3).
Liberalism Rule #17 - Charity ends at home. It is accomplished through the government with other people’s money.
Liberalism Rule #18 - When failure or bad behavior is completely undeniable, distance yourself from complicity to salve your guilty conscience.
Liberalism Rule #19 - Guns don’t kill people, liberals with guns kill people. Violence comes from the Left.
Liberalism Rule #20 - Only guilty life is precious. Innocence makes us uncomfortable and thus must be eliminated.
Liberalism Rule #21 - "I'm a moderate". We are not liberal, we are "moderates" politically - despite supporting every liberal tenant. This is because we consider ourselves to be the fairest and also because we care too deeply about what others think of us to just admit what we really are (See Rule #22).
Liberalism Rule #22 - “We care too deeply about what others think of us.” (This is why we feel the constant need to virtue signal and try to buy foreign approval with handouts).
Liberalism Rule #23 - Make it about race! "Whenever we are losing an argument, make it about race".
New Rule #24 - “Both sides do it.” Guilt from our bad behavior is best tolerated when diluted to all, and no one can point a finger.

I feel that I understand both sides.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on Friday announced that she was presenting "overwhelming evidence" to the Department of Justice showing that after President Donald Trump won his first election in 2016 against Hillary Clinton, then-President Barack Obama and his national security team laid the groundwork for a "yearslong" Russia-connected "coup" against Trump.

"The issue I am raising is not a partisan issue," Gabbard said in her announcement, backed up by a highly redacted, declassified report posted online. "It is one that concerns every American. The information we are releasing today clearly shows there was a treasonous conspiracy in 2016 committed by officials at the highest level of our government … As such, I am providing all documents to the Department of Justice to deliver the accountability that President Trump, his family, and the American people deserve."

The goal, she added, was to "usurp the President" from fulfilling the "mandate bestowed upon him" by American voters.


The report shows documentation outlining how, in the months leading up to the November 2016 election, the intelligence community assessed that Russia was "probably not trying … to influence the election by using cyber means" but changed its tune after Trump was elected.

Gabbard said the documentation shows that on Dec. 7, 2016, "talking points were prepared for DNI James Clapper stating [that 'Foreign adversaries did not use cyberattacks on election infrastructure to alter the U.S. Presidential election outcome.'"

Two days later, on Dec. 9, Obama's White House called in several top National Security Council principals, including Clapper, John Brennan, Susan Rice, John Kerry, Loretta Lynch, Andrew McCabe, and others to discuss Russia.

The documentation, Gabbard reported, shows that after the meeting, Clapper's executive assistant sent an email to intelligence community leaders to task them to create a new assessment "per the President's request" to detail "the tools Moscow used and actions it took to influence the 2016 election."

The email added that "ODNI will lead this effort with participation from CIA, FBI, NSA, and DHS," the information released Friday said.

Gabbard further alleged that Obama officials leaked false statements to The Washington Post claiming that "Russia has attempted through cyber means to interfere in, if not actively influence, the outcome of an election."

Then, on Jan. 6, 2017, shortly before Trump's inauguration, "a new Intelligence Community Assessment was released that directly contradicted the IC assessments that were made throughout the previous six months," Gabbard said in the report.


However, she added, "the facts reveal" that the assessment had been based on information "known by those involved to be manufactured," such as the discredited Steele Dossier.

"This was politicized intelligence that was used as the basis for countless smears seeking to delegitimize President Trump's victory, the yearslong Mueller investigation, two Congressional impeachments, high-level officials being investigated, arrested, and thrown in jail, heightened U.S.-Russia tensions, and more," said Gabbard.

She labeled the efforts as an "egregious abuse of power and blatant rejection of our Constitution" that threatened the republic.

"No matter how powerful, every person involved in this conspiracy must be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law to ensure nothing like this ever happens again," said Gabbard. "The American people's faith and trust in our democratic republic, and therefore the future of our nation depends on it."
