Just like Benghazi? That went for 18 months, Watergate lasted 2 years. We've had two indictments and one guilty plea. We're no where near finished, it would be over sooner if Donnie wasn't hiding his tax returns.

What, pray tell, do you think the President’s tax returns would tell you?  And why do you think you deserve to see them? 

 

Will you post yours here for us to look over?

The memo is talking about the dossier being biased. The warrant application included more than the dossier. How much more? They conveniently don't say.

 

Which "ward" word? Towards and toward are interchangeable. Both valid prepositions.

Nope, no esses after words that end in ward.  Just a pet peeve of mine.

It is interesting, the indictment and pleas have nothing to do with collusion.  Btw, why are you not clamoring for an investigation into the campaign that actually did collude with a foreign agent and is proven?  Maybe a double standard, or just a warm place in your heart for Hillary?

Funny to have a pet peeve about something that isn't true...

I thought Hillary was a Trigger word for the MDL.

I could answer that for you.  But based on the normal comments, I bet you know the answer already.

So making an adverb or adjective plural is correct?  Adding the "s" is meaningless to the meaning of the word and is unnecessary.  I should note that this does not apply to nouns that end in -ward such as "coward" or "reward".  This is what was taught in my grammar classes.

Toward(s) is a preposition.

 

I don't think the s in this case has a plural meaning. It's just an alternate spelling/pronunciation. From looking it up it seems like a UK/US thing.

Maybe so, but punctuation is a must!!! Ever tried reading a long post without any periods? Drives me crazy...

[Voice of Reason 10,298]

Adding an S to words such as toward (preposition), forward, backward (adverbs) does not make them plural.  They are just alternative spellings that are generally accepted in modern writing.

major scandal to gripping punctuation debate. nunes sure did deliver the goods!

At the very least, it is very inefficient.  Regardless, wildly off topic (apologies from me for starting it), so back to the topic at hand.

 

It does seem interesting that the FBI used a political hit piece to apply for and renew a FISA warrant that was created for the Democrat campaign via colluding with foreign powers (UK and Russia) to investigate collusion of the other campaign.  Must be Washington insider logic.

Little unrelated (since it's an abbreviation) but a variation I still can't wrap my head around involving "s" is the fact that in the UK they say "Maths" instead of "Math". As far as I can tell it is not plural. Most of the pet peeves my wife has about the American-style English I think she has a fair point about, except I'll never give her maths. Our kids will go to math class.

From what we know the FBI used the "political hit piece" written by a foreign INDIVIDUAL as PART of an application to renew a warrant on an INDIVIDUAL who they had already previously been monitoring due to suspicious ties. 

 

The "UK Powers" were not involved in any way. People need to stop conflating Steele with the UK Government. Just like Carter Page shouldn't be conflated to mean "the entire Trump campaign".

 

You are the perfect example of why people had valid concerns about the memo. It leads people to jump to larger conclusions than we are actually able to make with the information provided. It's like that was Nunes's whole point with the endeavor though.
