Trump’s controversial decision to fire Secretary of State Rex Tillerson just hours after Tillerson publicly criticized Russia for allegedly attacking an ex-spy in the U.K. using a military-grade nerve agent.
Tillerson was fired on Tuesday morning, just hours after he came out strongly against Russia for what has been termed a brazen attack on foreign soil.

You dont have to worry Timothy K. Wiebe
and dont you be afraid GOD IS IN COMPLETE CONTROL
and He has allowed skilled journalist to make connections with Russian officials and Russian cutouts. And Trump was even briefed in mid-August 2016 when he was a candidate about the Russian hacking of the election and still after that continued to say it wasn’t happening … Again and again and again, Trump and his defenders say that there was no contact with Russia, “We did nothing wrong.”

Oh there’s so much more against the phony investigation, but too can’t record it all on my phone

Timothy K. Wiebe “No foreign agency has any ability to affect our elections and anyone who believes they can is ignorant.” Barack Hussein Obama”
Interesting to know the context and where/when he said that.
In any case, he’s wrong here. And, it can be said that, anyone who believes Obama here “is ignorant” deliberately or otherwise.
One point, the idea is not to directly affect how someone votes but to affect the voters way of thinking that renders them to vote otherwise then they would have voted; that is, to vote in a way that is desired by the one influencing the voter. That is Russia’s aim.
And, imo, that is how Russia succeeded.

Mueller is part of the elite corruption in Washington
Guest;
“Will America sit still for this? Robert Mueller was supposed to figure out if Trump colluded with the Russians. Now it’s an all-purpose fishing expedition. And it will continue for as long as possible. This wasn’t about ‘finding the truth.’ It’s about finding something, anything, to undermine the presidency. I think we are going to see an impeachment effort, but I don’t think it will succeed. In fact, I think we’ll see a backlash. Remember, you only hear from the elites: They run most of the media. You don’t hear much from ordinary, every-day Americans.” — Varney & Co.
Guest;
“We need more strong Christian men & women serving in government offices at all levels. What about you? Maybe God is calling you to run for an office—from school board to Representative in Congress, they’re all very important & can make a difference for the future of this country.”
– Franklin Graham today
Guest;
Timothy K. Wiebe dont think we shall we wait no more. Trump did not hire Mueller so he cant fire him. The democracy of the Republic is at stake here. But first they took the Church out of the democracy…
Guest;
wow Johnny great first comment in the group. Tell us at least one such in government right now
Guest;
The long-term damage to the American evangelical movement, which has spent decades working toward respectability and intellectual seriousness, remains to be seen. And a president in need of a savior is surrounded by men and women of faith who are more interested in doing business with him than calling him to repent so that his eternal soul might be saved. Amen and amen
Guest;
How does one repent from intellectual seriousness Wouldnt that mean to become foolish? Joseph Kidwell

McCabe leaked and lied!

Guest;
Paul Hughes who even remembers McCabe anymore? Zuckerberg confirmed involvement in this weeks hearing. Some $100 000 worth he said
Guest;
STILL no evidence of Trump-Russia collusion — but lots of Hillary-Russia collusion via the fake dossier she bought for $Millions, & $Millions to Bill Clinton for a few speeches..
Guest;
Paul listen to Zuckerberg interview It will take a while but you will understand Congress did not call him for nothing Timothy K. Wiebe did now see this one coming? https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/michael-cohen-once-at-pinnacle-of-trumps-world-now-poses-threat-to-it/2018/04/21/efb1c9c6-3cd4-11e8-974f-aacd97698cef_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.75cb49221cca&wpisrc=nl_az_most&wpmk=1

Joseph Kidwell Timothy K. Wiebe Nelson Banuchi This so liberal media channels again from the UK What are they trying to tell us https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/jun/08/donald-trump-shows-no-sign-compromise-flies-in-g7-summit
Guest;
Avoiding conflict with Russia is bad how?
Guest;
Timothy K. Wiebe Russia was kicked out of the G8 for the take over Crimea from the Ukraine. Trump’s wanting to bring them back sets him in approval of the Crimea take over, in favor of the imperialistic politics of Russia and against the rest of the G7 (not good politics )
Guest;
if you wanted to discredit the evangelical political forces in America , Trump is your man ! no one will listen to them again in the GOP much less the rest of the world , their message is null and void for a bowl of oatmeal at the political table ! I’m glad he along with Hillary are Russian shills and when the time comes for Russia to make its move in the middle east America will be impotent and sit by and watch this time around as Putin takes control , then we will see .

tell me another one Jan Dixon Sykes Nelson Banuchi https://www.foxbusiness.com/features/notorious-russian-cybercriminal-pleads-guilty-to-us-charges
Guest;
So Mueller found the person who was promised what in exchange for helping Trump win the election? Where are the texts, the emails, the voice recordings of any Trump campaigner sending them to this guy? When did he do it? From where? Who was the campaign person? …….. No, we found a hacker.
Guest;
Jan
1. fake tax reform
2. fake war and peace with N Korea
3. fake women accusations (now in court)
4. fake Russian probing (now proven in court)
How many fakes make it all right? Nelson Banuchi
Guest;
So please post the REAL texts, emails, or voice mails that prove who Promised what to which Russian for Trump to win the election. When did they do it and where?
Guest;
You mean like the ones with Don Jr on them or new ones? https://www.inquisitr.com/4825425/trump-is-ours-russian-journalist-boasts-as-trump-bags-rex-tillerson-hours-after-tillerson-criticized-russia/
Guest;
The ones that said exactly what I asked. How much money did Don Jr offer Putin in exchange for what exactly? So far we know Don had a meeting where no one got anything.
Guest;
naah Jan you are just saying that out of nothing
Guest;
We know what Russia wanted in that meeting. End the Magnitsky Act. It went nowhere. Please, quote me the text, email, or voice recording of what we gave Russia in exchange for their help. Who promised it, when and where.
Guest;
Didnt we quote enough from the Helsinki meeting?
Guest;
Just quote me what I asked for, please.
Guest;
the court has proven what the court has proven as sufficient
Guest;
So there is no evidence of Trump colluding with Russia to throw the election. Didn’t think so.
Guest;
Jan Dixon Sykes let’s talk about evidence. Since you seem to be so very evidence-minded.
Do you believe Barack Obama is a secret Kenyan Muslim?
Guest;
Jan are you saying the court proved it with no evidence?
Guest;
Court has yet to prove Trump colluded. They maybe proved Russians meddled with FB memes or Manafort dodged taxes or somebody lied to the FBI. But yet to see collusion. I will do X for Russia in exchange for Y for Trump. Please show me the text, email, or voice recording that shows otherwise. ……… I have no idea what Obama is, Daniel.
Guest;
the Russians have been trolling us hard in this last election cycle , thats for certain . I don’t know why we just let them do this .
Guest;
Jan Dixon Sykes you have no idea, meaning that you think Obama could be a secret Kenyan Muslim, but you just don’t know for sure one way or the other?
Guest;
Jan Dixon Sykes, may I ask you another question? The president and many Republicans often say that Hillary Clinton should be “locked up” for her crimes.
Do you agree with them? If so, what crime has she committed specifically and what evidence do you have that she is guilty?
Guest;
Clinton is a wicked woman and should not have any kind of political power .
Guest;
Jan Dixon Sykes Robert Erwine Trump/Clinton who cares? Your posts are not in touch with reality. This is not what’s happening in American politics today. We;ll have a good one for you in 3 2 1… Scotty Searan Ricky Grimsley Terry Wiles
