anarchist23 quoting FakeNews wrote:US President Donald Trump, in a stunning rebuke of the US intelligence community, declined on Monday to endorse the US government's assessment that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election, saying he doesn't "see any reason why" Russia would be responsible.
Instead, Trump — standing alongside Russian President Vladimir Putin — touted Putin's vigorous denial and pivoted to complaining about the Democratic National Committee's server and missing emails from Hillary Clinton's personal account.
This is hilarious! Deep state is trying to conduct foreign policy independent of the president and he's shafting them! Awesome!

Trump is a buffoon, this guy really really needs to be thrown out.
I don't understand how his supposed red blooded patriotic base could support him in such bullshit?
Let's see: Medvedev (Putin) invades Georgia. Bush does nothing. Palin characterizes Russia as an American rival. She is lampooned on Saturday Night Live with Tina Fey mocking, "I can see Russia from my house." Obama later says about her, "You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig." Hillary Clinton and other warhawks sign off on selling American uranium mining equities to Russian interests. Bill Clinton takes $500k speaking fees in Moscow and the Clinton Foundation gets over $10M in donations from the procuring actors. Nobody says boo. During a 2012 presidential debate, Romney declares Russia a threat. Obama retorts, "The 80's called and they want their foreign policy back. Obama chides Putin as acting like a "tough guy" and "the bored kid in the back of the class." Putin annexes Crimea. Obama does nothing. DNC servers get hacked. Trump says that the system is rigged and that the election could be hacked. Obama tells the Russians to "knock it off" and then tells Trump in a news conference that there is no way a foreign power can hack our elections and that Trump should go out and make his case for votes.
Trump wins. Suddenly, the people pooh-poohing Russia now see Russia as the great bogeyman. Get real.

They are obviously operating in a rogue manner and clearly don't like Trump. Hillary lost bigly to Trump. It was Heeeyuuuuge!
Rancid wrote:I'm telling you, there is a prostitution sex tape with Trump in it. I'm now damn sure of it.
And nobody cares. Even if they make prime time all network expose of it, Trump's approval numbers will probably go up, not down. If we have to approve of gay marriage, then a billionaire banging a porn star is no big deal.

Right. If you can show that he regularly performed felatio on Obama and was willingly sodomized by Obama, then you have scandal.
Rancid wrote:If it's not a sex tape, then it's the promise of a lot of business dealings in Russia. If he's not getting blackmailed, then he's somehow going to benefit.
It's a red herring. There's nothing there, but his detractors want to believe it. So he will keep the story alive, just like Obama kept the birther story alive.
SolarCross wrote:If it involved something really scandalous like children, corpses or animals then that would be pretty good leverage.
Right, or homosexuality. Maybe paying for abortions or something. The Russian thing clearly doesn't sell. I don't know why they waste so much time on it.

It's by design. That's why we like him.
