Trump has been telling us there was no interference in the recent elections. Or that it could have been the Chinese, or N. Koreans. We don’t know for sure, he said.

Breaking story: he had known. He was given the clear, overwhelming evidence. 2 weeks prior to his inauguration. Our intelligence agencies knew it was Russia. And more that that: it came directly from Putin. And it was done to throw the election in Trump’s favor.

It is clear, in retrospect now, that our president has been involved in a very systematic and deliberate effort to mislead and confuse us.

Is the US great again yet?

Obama knew it, and he was still POTUS! Did he mislead us too? :lol:
Do you liberals ever hold Obama responsible for anything?

Yes, allowing Putin to install his Siberian Candidate in our presidency. He certainly has his share of the blame for Trump's weak, pathetic Surrender Summit this week.

The answer is McConnellism blocked Obama in September of 2016, followed by the gop/GRU/NRA connections.

Trump had threatened violence if he lost the election. And Obama did not believe Trump had a chance. He didn’t want to speak so as to try to avoid a violent outbreak from the deplorables. That was the same reason Comey was cowed into breaking FBI protocol and revealing the investigation before it was complete. All because of the threats of violence and the inability to believe that so many Americans could be so taken by a con man.

At this point, threats of violence if Twumpies don't get their way are so numerous that it's time to call them out.
We be ready, do your worst.

Just make DAMN sure we have Democratic majorities in both chambers of Congress and Pastor Pence can run out the clock all he likes.
Also, he hasn't laundered any Russian mob money, that we know of.

Thats dumb on many levels, but leave it to you to parrot what you hear on FNN. We surrendered nothing, so use your own head before you just ape what you hear some dope on TV say.
Plus, I thought Trump was a dangerous America first nationalist. Now hes doing the bidding of Putin? You guys need to get your stories straight.

As to the OP, why would Trump believe anything Clapper, Comey or that A-hole Brennan told him? And why didnt Obama act on this information? I guarantee you he know this for months and said and did nothing. If you want to criticize a president for doing Putins bidding, examine Obamas record of cowardice. You wont, of course, because if doesnt fit into the brainless leftist narrative you have swallowed.

But .. but ... but ... OBAMA.

The reasons Obama didn't put this on blast, agree with them or not, have been hashed out repeatedly. But you simply HAVE to deflect back to them. ANYTHING to take the heat off of Dear Leader.

Who's president now? I thought Trump was going to be tougher on our enemies? Don't you ever hold Trump responsible for anything?

"We" didn't surrender. Trump surrendered. He's a pathetic excuse for an American head of state.

What a shock that you haven't been paying attention!

When? In 2024? The only thing less likely than Trump being removed from office is the possibility that the dems will field a candidate in 2020 that can beat him.
 
If some would stop getting their news from biased news, or repeating propaganda they've read on the Internet from social media, they could easily find all of President Trump's quotes where he praised his intelligence while saying he believed Putin meddled, and interfered with the 2016 election.


Jan. 11, 2017: Trump said for the first time that he believes Russia was behind the hack of the DNC. “I think it was Russia,” he said at a news conference.

“He shouldn’t have done it. I don’t believe he will be doing it more,” he added when asked what he would say to Putin about the hacking.

June 23, 2017: In a tweet, Trump acknowledged Russian hacking and asked why the Obama administration didn’t do more to stop it.

Nov. 12, 2017: Trump said “I believe very much in our intelligence agencies” when they say Russia inter
fered in the 2016 election.

July 12, 2018: At a news conference at NATO, Trump pledged to ask Putin about election interference at their summit Monday. “Look, he may. What am I going to do? He may deny it,” Trump said.“All I can do is say, ‘Did you?’ And, ‘Don’t do it again.’ But he may deny it.”

Our allies, our government, our diplomats, our dignity, the very office of our presidency. The unbelievably weak deference to a foreign adversary at the expense of the U.S. government we witnessed this week is unprecedented in American history.

Two reasons:

1) it would have lacked any credibility and been dismissed as a poor partisan move
2) he didn’t think Trump stood a chance anyway. Americans as a whole couldn’t be THAT stupid and deplorable, could they?

Dems will likely underestimate Pence. It’s in their DNA. His social agenda will never get through Congress, but gops are masters at using their phony election cudgels, like on guns. The only real problem DEMs have now is McConnellism, though Dems are slow to learn.

He has been tougher on Russia than Obama was. Obama turned Syria over to Putin, he refused to arm Ukraine and did nothing whatsoever when he learned Russia was meddling in our elections right under his nose.

I suppose I can search your posts, but did you speak out against Obama when he stood on the podium next to Xi right after the Chinese hacked our government computers and got files on tens of millions of current and former government employees and Obama said nothing? No need to look is there. We both know you didnt.

I'm a little more hopeful.

The Obama apologist speaks.
1) Had Obama said it, it would have had credibility and you know it
2) In other words you are supporting Obama doing nothing while a hostile foreign power attacked our democracy.

You should really think before you post.

Trump lies...again.

He is a disgrace to America, he needs to leave now.
