The other day I mentioned that Trump had said the the European Union was a foe, but Russia was a competitor. After watching the press conference today, it seems like he thinks of most of the United States as a foe, and only Russia is his friend.

I cannot for the life of me think of a rational reason for Trump's remarks today. When people first talked about the pee-pee video, I thought it was all probably b.s. But trying to fit Trump's response today into a rational U.S. foreign policy is impossible. I don't know if there is a pee-pee tape (and again, given Trump's germ phobia, I don't believe that's a party he would have enjoyed) but I do believe that somebody has something on him.

What Trump seems to be saying is that all of this happened during the Obama administration, so it's his fault. Now his attitude is let bygones be bygones (so blame Obama and exonerate Putin.

Whatever sliver of hope that people still cling to about the Presidency of Donald Trump, it is time to let go. As far as I'm concerned, what he did today emphatically marked the crossing of the Rubicon.

I still cannot believe what I saw and heard. The President of the United States kissing Putin's ass, throwing his own intelligence community under the bus, and raving about Hillary Clinton on the world stage.

I just cannot effing believe it.

I was at this point back when he encouraged Russia to hack Clinton's email during his campaign. I thought he should have been detained and questioned right then.

Anyone who didn't realize back then he couldn't give a damn about America had their head in the sand. And his base still refuses to come up for air.

Buddy, you're crossing the line with this comment. I'll just leave it at that. If you want to say anything further about my comrades in arms, I invite you to visit another forum I frequent to make your case. I'm sure you'll get lots of support.

WD, there’s nothing unusual here. Within any community you can always find some folks who are accepting of being publicly denigrated, or even shat upon, by their boss, while proudly proclaiming, “Thank your, Sir - may I have another?!

The random stabs at self-distraction via shouts of “Podesta!!” and “emailzz!!” are pretty adorable, though.

Trump is 6'-2" and Putin is 5'-7". Putin's 24" hand/arm reach won't likely travel the 35" to Trump's jaw...or the reverse.
Additionally, marionette's operate via external strings thus negating the need for "shoves up", which is how a puppet operates.

I like the amalgam. It suits our President well. And it is still significantly less muddled than his foreign policy.

Seriously, not even you can defend what he said on stage and in front of the world yesterday.

Happy to defend America. Your forum doesn't impress me any more than your sympathy for treason. Good luck with your Russian buddies. I'll say whatever I want, Dog. You can like it or lump it. I've defended you on this forum before but I won't defend this. It's disgusting and dishonorable.

You should first ask yourself, "what do i know about this Russia hacking and how do i know it"?

Most likely you know things, like the intelligence community, based upon "evidence", correct?
So what is the evidence that you know about?...the point source is the DNC server...and that "evidence" was not collected by the intelligence community, it was collected by a private firm that was hired by the DNC, and the DNC shared that evidence with the FBI while refusing to allow the FBI to inspect the DNC server.

So, now ask yourself again, "what do i know about this Russia hacking and how do i know it"?
