Treasonous Trump's Treasonous Supporter Darrell Issa
Today traitor and criminal Darrell Issa compared coward Trump's treasonous meeting with dictator Putin to Patriotic President Ronald Reagan's meetings with Gorbachev that ended the cold war.
Like Trump Issa is a criminal. Rep. Issa was charged in San Jose auto theft - SFGate
He shit all over 9/11 first responders.
In April 2008, the Daily News reported that Issa questioned federal expenditures pertaining to disability-compensation claims from 9/11 first responders. He was criticized for making comments that the federal government "'just threw' buckets of cash at New York for an attack 'that had no dirty bomb in it, it had no chemical munitions in it'" and asking "why the firefighters who went there and everybody in the city of New York needs to come to the federal government for the dollars versus this being primarily a state consideration."[89] In September 2009, Issa's office released a statement indicating that his comments had been misrepresented and that the questions he asked concerned the then still unpassed bill H.R. 3543, which, according to that statement "would give U.S. taxpayer dollars to those who did not suffer physical injury and did not work at or around Ground Zero."[90][91]
Abortion
Issa opposes abortion.[94]
Bribes
In February 2017, he voted in favor of repealing a rule that required energy companies to disclose payments to foreign governments.[86]
Cannabis
Donald Trump
Issa attracted attention for his close relationship with and strong support for Donald Trump during the 2016 presidential election.[96][97][98] Issa endorsed Trump in March 2016[99] and did not rescind his endorsement after the Donald Trump and Billy Bush recording surfaced.[100]
In early February 2017, Issa expressed his support for a special prosecutor to look into President Donald Trump's ties to Russia. On 27 February, he walked back his previous comments.[101] Issa supported Trump's dismissal of FBI Director James Comey, saying "Comey had lost my confidence long ago."[102]
As of May 2017, Issa has voted in line with Trump's positions 100 percent of the time.[103]
Education
He has been critical of No Child Left Behind, supporting a modification that would, in his words, "give states the freedom to adopt best practices for their students by returning flexibility and control to the educators and parents who are the real experts on education".[104]
Environment
Issa rejects the scientific consensus on climate change and has stated there is no scientific consensus on climate[105] and that scientists have falsified data.[106]
Before the 2010 election, Issa pledged that, if elected, he would probe "Climategate", which refers to the hacked Climatic Research Unit e-mails that climate change denialists falsely asserted showed scientific misconduct and fraud by climate scientists.[107] Issa called President Obama's unwillingness to investigate Climategate "unconscionable" and an abdication of responsibility.[108]
In 2009, he voted against the American Clean Energy and Security Act.[109] He opposes federal regulation of greenhouse gas emissions.[94] In February 2017, he voted to repeal a rule that required coal companies to restore streams and mined areas to their pre-development conditions.[86]
The League of Conservation Voters has condemned Issa's actions related to the environment, stating, "As chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Congressman Issa is not only denying climate change, but also actively impeding federal action, pledging to hold hearings on the 'Politicization of Science,' and calling for greater oversight of the EPA's regulations of greenhouse gases."[110]
Foreign and defense policy
In 2001, Issa voted for the authorization of the PATRIOT Act and the creation of the Department of Homeland Security.[111][not in citation given] He voted for the reauthorization of the Patriot Act in 2005 after successfully amending it to require judicial notification, reporting requirements and facts justifying the use of roving survelliance at new facilities or places.[112]
Issa is one of several Lebanese-Americans in Congress.[113] He has had a significant role in U.S. peace initiatives in the Middle East. He traveled to Lebanon and Syria in an effort to negotiate the end of the Syrian occupation of Lebanon. In 2003, he appeared at a Washington rally by Iranian groups protesting against the Islamic government in Iran.[114]
In March 2015, Issa supported the Saudi Arabian-led intervention in Yemen, saying: "We must make it clear that we will support our allies and punish our enemies through steadfast resolve and decisive action."[115]
Healthcare
He favors repealing the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), and voted in support of the budget resolution to repeal Obamacare in January 2017.[94][86]
On May 4, 2017, Issa voted in favor of repealing the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) and passing the American Health Care Act.[116][117] Issa made the tie-breaking vote to pass the AHCA.[118][119]
Healthcare vote reactions
The organization San Diego Indivisible protests outside Issa's office weekly.[120]
After Darrell Issa voted to pass the AHCA, about 800 people from the organization protested, decrying that a significant portion of Issa's voters use the ACA.[120] The group was also unhappy about a picture taken where Issa stood "front and center" for a photo op held in tribute to the success of the Republicans in passing the AHCA.[118]
Instead of coming back to California to meet the protesters, Issa flew to an event in Florida to raise money, though he says he will meet with them at a later date.[118][120]
The following Friday, over 100 people protested his desire to defund Planned Parenthood.[120]
An organization called Save My Care spent $500,000 to release a series of attack ads against 24 House members who voted for the AHCA, including one about Issa.[121][122]
LGBT issues
Issa opposes same-sex marriage.[94] He voted against an amendment, which ultimately failed narrowly, that stated that religious corporations, associations and institutions that receive federal contracts can't be discriminated against on the basis of religion. Democrats warn that such a provision could potentially allow discrimination against the LGBT community in the name of religious freedom.[123]
Immigration
He has opposed attempts to ease restrictions on illegal immigration such as the "Blue Card" system, arguing that it provides amnesty for illegal immigrants.[124]
Online piracy
Issa opposed the Stop Online Piracy Act based on the amount of discretion the Department of Justice would have under the legislation as it is currently drafted.[125] He subsequently went on to cosponsor the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act.[126]
Russian hacking of 2016 election
Issa has stated that he believes Russia meddled with the 2016 election, but that he supports Trump's firing of FBI Director Comey (who was leading the investigation into the 2016 election meddling), and he believes the US should be focusing on other issues.[127]
Science
Issa has periodically tried to de-fund grants offered by the National Institutes of Health.[131] He alleged that the NIH was spending $5 million "on foreign alcoholics and prostitutes."[131] The grants in question were on research on HIV/AIDS prevention.[131]
Tax reform
Issa voted no on the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. He was one of two California Republicans to vote against the bill, alongside Dana Rohrabacher.[132]Issa expressed concern that "many" of his constituents would face increased taxes under the proposal and that "Californians have entrusted me to fight for them. I will not make the incredible tax burden they already endure even worse."[133]
Vaccine controversy
Issa has chaired House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearings on vaccines and their unsubstantiated relationship with autism.[134][135]

Troll and Flag The Trolls
America and the world are in an information war with Putin's Russian dictatorship. Putin's trolls seem to be targeting the US more than any other country. Today 12 Russian hackers were indicted.
Generally when criminals are caught and arrested it represents only a tip of the iceberg. For every troll or hacker that gets caught you can bet there are hundreds who haven't.
The conventional wisdom has been to ignore trolls because generally trolls would troll to get a rise out of members of an online community. Russian trolls are not here to annoy people, they are here to sow dissension, create chaos and destroy democracy.
It is estimated that there are 100,000 Russian trolls trolling social media. They have invaded Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Yahoo News, AOL News, Youtube, Reddit, Quora, Disqus and other social media platforms. Make no mistake, democracy is under attack and when President Reagan called the Soviet Union the "Evil Empire" is characterization was spot on!
There are many differences between Ronald and Donald but the main difference is, Ronald Wilson Reagan protected and defended the United State of America against evil bastards like Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump.
Tactics and Strategy: How to Counter Troll
Counter trolling is like counter punching. Some of the best counter punchers in boxing were Floyd "Money" Mayweather, Muhammad Ali, James "Lights Out" Toney, Sugar Ray Robinson, and Archie Moore. They would see an opening after their opponent missed and was wide open and then they would fire and land cleanly and once their opponent was rocked they would follow up with a barrage of punches.
Russian trolls are going to like a deceive. The counter troll is to expose their lie and pile on with something such as, "Your trolling is pathetic Boris, you'd better up your game before Putin slips you a polonium cocktail." or "What is Putin paying you losers these days." or "Hey Dimetri, what's it like living in a country that is falling apart."
If it is a right winger there is a good chance it's a Russian troll so call it a Russian troll because a right winger is a useful idiot so for all intents and purposes a right winger is a Russian troll.
A good tactic is to say the troll, "I see that you are masking your IP address, so you are probably a Russian troll but you sound more like one of Putin's useful idiots."
FACTS:
Liars and propagandists hate facts. Create a data sheet about Russia. Get a list of the people Putin has had assassinated.

Here are 10 critics of Vladimir Putin who died violently ...
Putin's economy is on the skids and the idiots/Trumptards in the US don't know it because they are stupid and the Russian trolls probably don't have access to that data because Putin and his bosses have blocked access to many websites. A good way to illustrate just hos dismal Russian economy is by comparing it to France. Country comparison France vs Russia GDP per capita (Euros ...
France is kicking the shit out of Putin's Russia. Russia is a third world country economically.
The per capita GDP in France is $38,513 while the per capita GDP is Russia is $8,900. All the wealth in Russia is with the Putin's bosses, the oligarchs. If Russians want to have any hope of getting a fair shake, they need to get rid of the oligarchs and Putin and his people. The Russian people are living in abject poverty while Putin and his masters live like royalty.
Two things and two things only motivate most people and those two things are fear and money. Anger and revenge motivate other people. Some rare people are motivated by virtue and honor. Russian trolls do it for the money. Life sucks in Russia and the Russian troll is merely trying to survive. They have no loyalty to Putin's Russia. People with no allegiance are easily to turn. Putin knew this about Trump and now Trump's allegiance is with Russia.
Call every right wing nut a Russian troll and mock them. "Clearly you are a Russian troll because no patriotic American would support Donald Trump" That line will work wonders.
Be creative and learn the fine art of tolling.
Troll the trolls daily and remember, you are not debating them. Your job is the same as their's. Your mission is to protect America and democracy by convincing people that freedom, liberty, and the rule of law is what democracies have and what the Russian dictatorship doesn't.
