I would love for anyone who thinks Trump/Russia is bull**** to explain this. Give me one reason why it makes sense that Trump has been a dick to basically every other world leader except Putin.

Or as soon as McConnell said no, he should have walked in front of the press and destroyed McConnell while laying it all out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Just admiring: 1) Barack Obama saw a hostile foreign government engages in a long-running, covert, operation to harm our country. The information was obtained by some of the most covert and sophisticated intelligence tools in our nation's arsenal. (And revealing that he has said information might threaten said tools.) His assessment of the situation tells him that the attack will not succeed in harming the country (at least, not in any directly attributable way). He attempts to make a neutral, bipartisan, message, promoting American solidarity, while revealing very little of the actual intelligence (including not revealing which political Party the Russians are helping), and is rejected (by the senior member of the Party which the Russians are helping). Obama weighs the projected harm of allowing the attack to continue (which is estimated to be low, if any), against the harm of revealing the fact that we are aware of the Russian attack, and chooses not to reveal the fact that we know. 2) Skippy the Turtle, the ranking member of the political Party whom the Russian espionage agencies are attempting to aid, was approached by the current (and about to retire) President, and asked to make a joint public service announcement, making vague (and thus not classified-information-revealing) generic slogans asking the American people to stand together, and to not allow propaganda being sent to our country by enemies of our country, to affect their decision in the upcoming election. And refuses to do so. I can see two possible reasons for doing so. One is because Skippy knows damned well which Party the Russians are helping, and he wants all the Russian help his side can get. The other is that he simply will not permit the appearance of bipartisanship, even on a matter as simple and pro-country as a call to reject foreign propaganda. In short, in either case, he chose Party over Country, at the very least. 3) The Donald Trump campaign, when told that the Russian espionage agencies wants to help him win, drops what they have scheduled and clears room to meet with the Russian representative, to discuss/negotiate/coordinate said aid. (And then follows through, after the meeting, with giving Russia something they want, and receives said aid.) Guess which decision of the above three our resident Trump supporters think we should be looking at, as a shameful example of placing politics above doing the Right Thing.

Captain Wiggles Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 So essentially all that needs to be done is make Trump feel unwelcome and he'll stay away? Uh can someone put one of these at the front door to the White House? Please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
