    Yeah, if you are a strong president or anything but a weak president, you don't stand next to a dictator and refuse to take the side of every single American Intelligence agency.

    I am not ready to proclaim he is impeachable, but after further reflection and research maybe this rises to that level. I just don't know yet.

    just the opposite

    at the "I surrender and how can Weaken America" summit, the weak POTUS was scared shi tless to confront the Russian dictator

    this is no surprise,

    previously, in early 2017, the Trump administration tasked State Department staffers with developing proposals for the lifting of economic sanctions, the return of diplomatic compounds and other steps to relieve tensions with Moscow.

    But career State Dept employees had leak this info to both sides of Congress, who proceeded to lock the Obama-induced sanction against the Russians, neutering Trump's power to lift the sanctions against mother Russia

    If Trump deeply believed that Mueller was a hack without the goods, he would have begged Putin to to cough up the 12 GRU officers and win their trial against Mueller. Trump would have a zero chance of ever being impeached via Mueller's evidence.

    FAKE NEWS! EMAILS! WITCH HUNT! BENGHAZI!

    Not surprising to hear this from the AEI, a noted leftist deep state organization with a mission statement to "defend the principles and improve the institutions of American freedom and democratic capitalism—limited government, private enterprise, individual liberty and responsibility, vigilant and effective defense and foreign policies, political accountability, and open debate"

    1. No he didn't, he simply paid them a fortune to pretend as if they were going to do that
    2. If Obama wanted to have a strike in Syria, he could have simply ordered one as many, many presidents (including Trump) have done. Obama made himself look weak....because he was a weak president.
    3. Did he? Are we talking about an action that matters or are we talking about a slap on the wrist? I mean, clearly it wasn't an action that mattered given that Russia STILL has Crimea.

    Obama was slapped around by Putin and everyone else for 8 years and just now the US is trying to recover from that.

    You aren't demonstrating that you understand what the word "diplomatic" means. In private talks you can say all sorts of different things, but when speaking publicly, there's no benefit to calling Putin a liar. Again, the US would never admit to attempting to interfere in Russian elections....something that Hillary was involved with which is the reason why Putin ordered his people to try and do the same to her. The US would NEVER admit to that, so should Putin have come out accusing the US of lying about it? Would it accomplish anything positive?

    I just think that we have some people out for blood in the streets due to blaming Putin for their candidate losing and that's a bit ridiculous. If you look at what Trump often does, before meeting with someone he puts out some strong language and criticisms in an effort to gain leverage and then after the meeting he is all hugs and kisses, that's just what he does. He smacked the **** out of Theresa May with comments criticizing her plan to make the UK a vassal of the EU and then after they met he had nothing but praise for her. There's no way of knowing what was said in private, but I think it's fair to say that it likely didn't look like what we saw after the meeting.

    Now compare that to the meeting with Russia. Leading up to the meeting Trump criticizes Germany for their pipeline deal with Russia, something vital to the Russian economy....Trump suggests that Germany cancel the deal and that buying energy from Russia is a strategic weakness. He then goes on to call out the NATO allies (almost all of them) who refuse to do their part in strengthening NATO...even suggesting that the "minimum" of 2% GDP be doubled to 4%.....a move that would directly threaten Russia. He then goes into the meeting and who knows what is said or done and comes out all hugs and kisses. How many times does he have to do this before we realize that it's basically his SOP?

    Getting caught up in the BS they spew after the meetings is pointless. It's like taking "coachspeak" to heart.....did anyone believe Hinch when he said that he didn't hear what Giles said to him when he pulled him? If you believed that BS you might have been shocked when he was sent to AAA the very next day.

    Though it isn’t that much of a surprise to people actually paying attention, Trump left no doubt he’s a traitor to this country

    i thought that was a bizzare statement too. he is undiplomatic to everyone except putin, who he seems to show the highest deference for.

    he fights with everyone. our allies, members of his own party, gold star mothers, POWs....everyone but putin.

    it should be clear to anyone who is not totally biased and partisan that trump is compromised. that press conference could not have made it any more clear.

    attacking his own intelligence agency while he stands in front of the murderous, dictatorial leader of russia. maybe its not treason, but its damn close.

    THE PEE TAPE IS REAL!!!

    Trump's ego and insecurities play in to this bigly as well: he cannot bring himself to admit that the election was influenced by anyone or anything but Donald Trump. And Hillary.
