And asks the question, what more could a Russian asset do for Putin's agenda than things that Trump has been doing?

Very cogently and clearly asked.

^ Whatever it was, it's been removed.
Yeah, anyone with half a brain can see Trump is a traitor.
It makes me ashamed to be American.

What's your problem? Didn't you get enough attention as a child? Or maybe just frustrated at being a middle aged virgin?
Your a special kind of stupid.

Lester doesn't believe any of that, Ronny, he's just trying to make you angry, and to get you to get yourself in trouble.

I posted this because the way the Senator interviews, and his thought process, is so well done. He asks calm, unhurried, very well constructed questions. These candidates are shown to be exactly what they are -- spineless people who lack any integrity or dignity. They're just people trying to get a little fiefdom under a would-be king. You could've seen the same thing happen in feudal society. And when they start to give non-answers, he immediately cuts them off and briefly responds. We need to see more of this type of questioning of people in our government.

^ I don't care if I get banned. Big f**king whoop. People are DYING because of Putin, and Lester jokes about it.
Lester- you're a piece of s**t.

This is a clear violation of "Rule #1: Common Courtesy": "rude and insulting behavior is not tolerated," justifying a lock of the topic.
