John Kerry talking with Palestine authorities
« on: January 25, 2018, 01:15:24 PM »
Looks like Kerry didn't really quit being SecState.

I wonder if Kerry is familiar with the Logan Act.

 That site seems to be too full of "jump-arounds" and rabbit holes for my up-to-date IE11 desktop browser.  =(

(I know Hillary would love to kill off all conservatives, but why can't I get rid of that video?)

You got a summary or alternate source?

FYI (all):

Quote
The intent behind the Act is to prevent unauthorized negotiations from undermining the government's position

Note:  I edited this post before seeing the following quotes from it.

It's a felony.

Yeah, but you see, it's a Democrat doing it, so no biggie.

Not like he's talking with a existential enemy of the United States to effect an election.

Honestly, if Ted Kennedy wasn't put in Federal Prison for that, the Logan Act is pretty much dead letter.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

makattak's embedded link to the Forbes article (2009) should be required reading:

Here in the U.S., Sebastian's story received no attention. In his 2006 book, The Crusader: Ronald Reagan and the Fall of Communism, historian Paul Kengor reprinted the [Russian] memorandum in full. "The media," Kengor says, "ignored the revelation."

Dare I suspect that the Democratic Party as a whole was  (and is) hell-bent on destroying this country so that it can be rebuilt in the full-bore socialist image?

Nah.  I ain't got the balls to actually suggest that.

John Kerry has been a *expletive deleted*it bag ever since he turned on his own brother's in arms in VietNam.

He was a bag before then, too -- that was when he came out of the closet.
