    So, I take it that you agree with the President that it is the fault of the USA that the relationship with Russia is the worst it's ever been? And, Russia has no blame?

    Also, I take it that you agree with the President that Putin's denials outweigh the USA bi-partisan security Intel saying Russia has been meddling in the US elections. (Please note I did not use the word collusion)

    You don’t have to trust our intelligence agencies but you also aren’t privy to 99.9% of their due diligence. You know who should trust our intelligence agencies? The president. You know who shouldn’t completely throw our intelligence agencies under the bus directly in front of our biggest enemy? The president.

    I’ll be the first to say our intelligence agencies have led us down many many misguided and ultimately disastrous paths but were those driven by the agencies themselves or politicians (and presidents)? My guess is the latter. To publicly chastise them in front of Russia of all countries is beyond reproach. This would’ve been akin to Lunhow blaming the Astros scouts and servers for the cardinals hack into our system and then groveling that the cardinals shouldn’t be punished for our ineptitude. That’s insanity.

    It’s just crazy to see people defend these actions. Not you mind you, but it’s hard to remember a more treasonous display of a sitting president. He had a long history of being in Russia’s pocket as a businessman and today essentially confirmed that. Putin himself explicitly stated that he wanted Trump to win, completely negating trumps asiniacal assertion earlier that Russia wanted Hillary to win, not him. This guys only philosophy is that of self-preservation. It’s been that way since the day he entered the public stage 40 years ago and it remains that way today. He doesn’t give a **** about “making America great again” he simply wants to keep trump rich and famous, and right now he knows he owes that to Russia.

    Yesterday you saw president publicly place his own self-interests above those of our servicemen and every citizen of this country. If you can still jump through hoops to support him you are part of the problem.

    Oh you mean the lunatic who said it was safe for New Yorkers to breathe the dust in lower Manhattan a week after 9/11? Who didn't apologize until 2016? I'm sure Trump will miss her vote...

    This seems like Donald Orange Fooliuous Trump

    "Sign the treaty Putie . . . . . I'll suck your dick!!!" - Trump
    "Mr PRESIDENT!!!! . . .We don't . . That is not how we do business , Sir!! Stop sucking Putie's dick!!. . ." - Random Aide Sychophant
    "NO!!!! No! Let him finish . . . . .. There will finally be peace with Mother Russia!" - Putie

    guiliani said the exact same thing. did he ever apologize?

    so if whitman is not credible for saying that the air was safe then surely you dont think guiliani is credible either...right?

    http://nymag.com/daily/intelligence...how-has-9-11-affected-new-yorkers-health.html

    Within days of the attack on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, then EPA chief Christine Whitman infamously encouraged New Yorkers to head back to Lower Manhattan. “The good news continues to be that air samples we have taken have all been at levels that cause us no concern,” she told reporters. A week later, she again assured the public that the air was “safe to breathe and their water is safe to drink.” Her claims were echoed by then New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani who, in his apparent eagerness to get the Financial District up and running again, told everyone “to go back to normal.” He also called the air around Ground Zero “safe as far as we can tell, with respect to chemical and biological agents,” even as experts warned that it was not. “You won’t see any immediate problems,” Mount Sinai’s Dr. Philip Landrigan told the New York Daily News on September 13, describing the risks of exposure to the wreckage of the Twin Towers. “It will take 25 to 30 years to develop.”

    That's the thing. Most conservatives aren't afraid to criticize their own. Libs on the other hand....abolish ICE!

    Is it really though - THE THING? Or there is something a little more important amiss? Maybe a commander in chief who screams patriotism at the top of his lungs at his rallies but then cowers in front of our enemies on the world stage?

    Can we see some of the hard core Trumpers of this forum criticize their man?
    I'm thinking of the Legend and Bobby.

    The last two Democrat Presidents were often criticized by people on the left, usually for being too moderate.

    Trump is being criticized by the right for something(s) much, much worse.
