Two weeks before his inauguration, Donald J. Trump was shown highly classified intelligence indicating that President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia had personally ordered complex cyberattacks to sway the 2016 American election.

The evidence included texts and emails from Russian military officers and information gleaned from a top-secret source close to Mr. Putin, who had described to the C.I.A. how the Kremlin decided to execute its campaign of hacking and disinformation.

Mr. Trump sounded grudgingly convinced, according to several people who attended the intelligence briefing. But ever since, Mr. Trump has tried to cloud the very clear findings that he received on Jan. 6, 2017, which his own intelligence leaders have unanimously endorsed.

The shifting narrative underscores the degree to which Mr. Trump regularly picks and chooses intelligence to suit his political purposes. That has never been more clear than this week.

Right. What they talked about behind closed doors would be nice to know.

With Putin? I don’t see any reason to believe it wasn’t just more boot licking. This is the guy that fires people via twitter and letters. He has a history of tucking his tail between his legs when actually next to the people he criticizes. Now I’m supposed to believe that he was talking tough with a dictator behind closed doors while licking his balls in public?

Now, knowing he was informed by US Intel, that Putin directly ordered the meddling, replay in your mind all the stupid **** the dumb SOB has said.

Here's one example:

"I don't want to address whether he (Putin) lied or not."

Knowing that he knew he was set up after the first week of January 2017 by US intel and the FBI, how dumb do you idiots think he is in order outright trust them?

Trump said many times during the debates that he would not telegraph our plans or actions. This was always in relation to the use of US forces, but I wager that philosophy plays a role in his everyday business life.

He's not going to tell the public what he plans on doing or what he's truly thinking about Russia because he doesn't want Russia to know either.

So we can't believe anything he says about Russia? We can't believe anything he says about anything else so I guess he's being consistent. [thumb2]

Stop looking at him as a politician. He's not.

This and other stuff most Americans do not care about. The economy is growing, people are working, and they have more money in their pockets and those are the things most normal voters care about.

All three of those guys in the picture are proven liars and subversives. Can't beleive anything that those three would have to say. Wonder if the article was written by the writer who falsified almost everything.

Your boy, Baby Trump, lies more than anyone I can recall in my lifetime and I was in college when Nixon was president.

Well, he’s definitely really ignorant, but I think the critical issue is his mental illness.

Holy ****!! Someone else remembers. I literally don’t care what he says when the actions being taken are what matters. All of this hand wringing when we’re actually causing Russia harm is hilarious.

Actually some people do care that the so called prez is a great big liar. I'd say that most Americans like for their prez to have credibility. Some like yourself don't care. Good for you.

idiots?

Trump supporters really shouldn’t be questioning anyone’s intelligence, mod.

Explain “knew he was set up”. Explain why he should trust an ex KGB agent over our own IC?

This news coming out now realy puts trump in a bad place. He’s been carrying water for Putin all of this time knowing this. The question is why?

This is what it all comes down to. You guys are hoping that he is this masterful tactician behind closed doors. Maybe playing a bumbling idiot in public is part of the overall strategy. Good luck with all that.

knew he was set up: Read the Comey letters.

What specific events mean he's "carrying Putin's water"?

Well sure I am. I don't want ANY US President to fail... THAT would be treasonous.

I may not have voted for the man, but damn I want him to be successful. I want to be wrong about him.

I think I’ve heard him say this whole Russia thing is a hoax once or twice. If you’d like, I can try to find video?

The summit last week. Unless you are foolish enough to believe that he really meant “wouldn’t”. (And foolish enough to think that one word changed everything else he said both during the summit and immediately after)

You don’t believe that do you? I’m trying to gauge just how far gone you are.

Well you can want/hope in one hand and **** in the other. See which one fills up quicker. Sometimes you have to deal with reality though.

And I will deal with reality. Right now... reality is pretty damned good. Is everything perfect? No, but he's exceed my expectations in some areas so far.

He said what he meant the first time. He knows Russia tried to screw up our elections, and failed, again. He also knows China and others are also trying. He knows they went after the DNC and RNC, Republican and Democratic candidates.

He also knows he has an internal threat of justice and intel acting political, to currently unknown levels.

I'd keep my gameplan close to my vest, too.

Now, how far are you gone?
  • Do you want ICE abolished?
  • Do you want immigration left status quo?
  • Are you calling for Trump's impeachment like certain senators and ideologues in past administration?
  • Where is your pink ***** hat?
  • On a scale of 1-10, how much do you admire Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez?

Does he consider FoxNews fake news media now too? They were on his *** over the summit pretty good too.

An enemy of the people? This type of talk ok with you guys? Do you know how Russia handles their journalists? Is this what you are cool with?

I'm cool with it. As long as they conspire with the Democrats to define narratives, hide stories, or push other's, then they are not objective and minding the store. They are not what they claim to be, and are enemies of the people.

Are any of those relevant to the topic at hand? Why the deflection, mod? I asked you a simple question that is directly related to how much of the ******** trump spews do you buy. And you come back with some **** like this?Not a good look, mod. Be better.
