He never would have approved it then if he had actually understood what he was doing. 

 

I wonder how often he thinks ahead rather than "shooting from the hip"?

 

The POTUS keeps referring to where are those 33,000 emails?        Has anyone told him they're available to read on Wikileaks.com?    So many of them are queries about arranging a phone call to someone.

What amazes me is how unpatriotic the USA people are to their elected president. So much for democracy.

 

Perhaps that's because he's now finally shown himself to not really be a U.S. president. But rather, a stooge for Russia who was elected in part because of a massive Russian election tampering effort to discredit his opponent.

 

Any true American and believer in U.S. democracy would be sickened and disgusted by what Trump has done. He's a traitor to his own country and people.

Why would they need casinos if they got their countries back?

Who really need casinos, when you have land and are free? Casinos is just distraction from what life is and about. It is sugar, cocain or what ever your fix is. 

 

Anyway, we humans is very easy distracted from whats important, and whats true, and Trump represent everything about that! Just to get back on topic.

Just for a chuckle, it would be interesting to hear from any "trump" fans on how they are going to defend the traitor president. Oh, my 401k is up so I don't care! But Hillary! Is there anything the orange con man can do that would shake some sense into his fans? So far, no. 

IMO, Trump was foolish for willingly giving his enemies ammunition to beat him with. He should have known better.

IMO the over reaction is all just <deleted> and wind, but it's just going to make it harder to keep a majority in November. He'd have been better off waiting till after the elections. Perhaps he believed the positive press from NoKo summit would carry over. Whatever, he didn't help himself. Perhaps he should not stand in 2020 and let the opposition deal with Pence as president, 555555555555555.

What he should have done was whisper to Putin to wait till the midterms were over and he'd have more flexibility.

Rod Rosenstein disagrees with you. He just went on record as saying the Russians had no effect on the outcome of the election. Rosenstein is no friend of Trump.

A friendly warning, with an unfriendly reply. 

 

Didn't trump just get rid of 60 Russian guys?

 

Hasn't he imposed trade sanctions on Russia?

The sanctions were imposed in 2014 over the invasion of Crimea.  Never knew he was President then. 

 

Please don't confuse Johnniey.      He's busy trying to get the dander up of any American, Yank, or North American he can.    Silly goose.

If You believe Russia in no doubt influenced the election, then most likely they will do the same and Trump will win next election again for sure. Or will Russia be scolded enough they will behave and not interfere ? 

But I'm thinking the voting public will have there day. Who are the likely candidates going up against Trump?

Please, please, please let it be Clinton! However, Pelosi, Warner, or the "impeach 45" congresswoman would all be excellent candidates.

Please disprove this:

Hillary Clinton Email Archive

On March 16, 2016 WikiLeaks launched a searchable archive for over 30 thousand emails & email attachments sent to and from Hillary Clinton's private email server while she was Secretary of State. The 50,547 pages of documents span from 30 June 2010 to 12 August 2014. 7,570 of the documents were sent by Hillary Clinton. The emails were made available in the form of thousands of PDFs by the US State Department as a result of a Freedom of Information Act request. More PDFs were made available on February 29, 2016, and a set of additional 995 emails was imported up to February 2, 2018.

This sums it up for you...…..

Trump.docx

I have watched US-Soviet/#Russia presidential press conferences for more than 30 years, sometimes in the room. Have never seen anything as bad or embarrassing as @realDonaldTrump's just-concluded performance.

 

Donald Trump’s press conference performance in Helsinki rises to & exceeds the threshold of “high crimes & misdemeanors.” It was nothing short of treasonous. Not only were Trump’s comments imbecilic, he is wholly in the pocket of Putin.

 

Former U.S. Ambassador to Russia William J. Burns doesn't mince his words on the Trump/Putin summit: "I think that press conference was the single most embarrassing performance by an American president on the world stage that I've ever seen.

No one can "prove" to what extent the Russian hacking and disinformation had on the election outcome, because how do you prove what causes millions of voters to decide on one candidate or another. So Rosenstein as a Justice Department figure can't publicly allege it.  He can allege all the factual things they have alleged -- conspiracy, computer hacking, election interference, identity theft, data theft, etc.

 

But anyone who watched the campaign play out, saw how the Russia-fed Wikileaks releases and fake and distorted social media campaigns against Clinton swelled and influenced public opinion would have to believe the Russian efforts played some role in changing the minds of some share of the voters in that election.  I have no doubt it played a role, along with Comey's pre-election public announcements.

 

Rosenstein also said the recent indictments didn't name any Americans.  But that doesn't mean that ones naming Americans aren't coming down the pike soon.

Whoa , 11 pages of butt hurt anti-Trumpers spewing their veil comments and over the top reactions . A feed frenzy of sharks.

 

 Right, it's just those butt hurt anti-Trumpers who are condemning him:

Fox Hosts Offer Rare Criticism Of Trump After Russian Summit

Even Brian Kilmeade called the president’s remarks “ridiculous.”

Neil Cavuto of Fox Business called the performance “disgusting.”

“Fox & Friends” co-host Abby Huntsman ― daughter of Jon Huntsman, the U.S. ambassador to Russia ― was not so forgiving, suggesting that Trump had thrown America under the bus:

Conservative commentator Ben Shapiro called Trump’s performance “self-serving and utterly grotesque,” before declaring Trump “made a fool of himself.” The BBC’s headline simply stated, “Trump sides with Russia against FBI.”

Who are the first two paragraphs of comment in your post coming from?  Burns or someone else?

 

The 2nd pgh at least seems to be yesterday's comments from former CIA Director John Brennan.

So there actually is some limit as to just how far their head in the sand partisanship can go???  I actually thought they had no bottom depths limit as to how far they could/would sink on behalf of Trump. So, I guess I should be heartened that they do seem to have some limit.

 

Sad to say, I'm not sure the Trump Republicans in the House of Representatives will share those traits.

You obviously have no idea what the concepts of patriotism or democracy actually entail. Patriotism is loyalty to one's country, not to any individual. When a person, even the president is acting against the interests of the country and constantly denigrating the country it is entirely patriotic to oppose that person and support your country instead.

 

Democracy means accepting and respecting the democratic process whereby someone was elected but it does not imply or require blind loyalty to whoever happens to have been elected - especially when that person is showing no respect for the democratic process, by ignoring and denying the threats it is facing.

People keep saying this and I just can't believe it.  A treasonous act is acceptable so long as everybody's doing it?  And criminal acts get a free pass if they don't actually succeed?  Is that what you're saying? Because it sure sounds like that's what you're saying.

Don't you get it? The more Trump seems to be siding with Putin, the more he is actually fighting him. And we know this because how could it be otherwise?
