meanwhile, China has done more harm to our economy, wages and economy than Russian would ever dream of and these are the same people that don't say anything about China.
It's the brunt of jokes -- it's the backbone of how the rest of the world sees the USA. Strong and firm against Russia (USSR at one point) and their brutal regime and lack of humanity.

Again -- I know this is not life changing in our day to day lives....but this is a moment in US history that wil be significant -- and not in a positive way.

I hesitate to think Trump is really just a puppet of Putin -- I think he mishandled the press conference, the situation. He isn't made for this.......he just isn't.

He's not motivating his Allies to work with him, he's seemingly siding with adversaries...it's all upsdie down.

Does anyone agree with what Trump said at that presser?
HOLY !@#$ -- Gingrich has been a hard Trump supporter.

For him to even remotely suggest things did not go well.

There's someone out there that can save this for Trump - Not sure who - -he needs a positive, sound, reasonable Republican to step up and navigate this disaster.

(I'm so into Scandal -- there is a fixer for these things right).

This is what Russia has been doing and you people are being willfully ignorant and unpatriotic.
More than a decade.

"First, we will take Eastern Europe, then the masses of Asia, then we will encircle the United States which will be the last bastion of capitalism. We will not have to attack. It will fall like overripe fruit into our hands.
Lenin, early 1900's

"Whether you like it or not, history is on our side. We will bury you!"
Khrushchev, 1956

"We won't have to fire a shot, we will destroy you from within" and other similar ideas have long been attributed to speeches given by one Russian leader or another. There seems to be little proof these words were actually ever spoken but there seem to be no denials either.

Russia is not a democracy and putin has never been and never will be a friend to the US. The guy is a snake. Cares about nothing more than boosting his power and personal wealth he's stripped from Russia. If you believe otherwise you're living under a rock.

As you surely know, if there was such a tape, we would have seen it by now.

I think today is the most pathetic thing that has happened in this country's history. We witnessed a spineless US President on the world stage today.
