Very refreshing to see the "No" voters (mostly Trump supporters) getting crushed.
They got crushed in the midterms...... The deplorables crawled back under their rocks

President Donald Trump may not alert the FBI if foreign governments offered damaging information against his 2020 rivals during the upcoming presidential race, he said, despite the deluge of investigations stemming from his campaign's interactions with Russians during the 2016 campaign.

Asked by ABC News Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos in the Oval Office on Wednesday whether his campaign would accept such information from foreigners -- such as China or Russia -- or hand it over the FBI, Trump said, "I think maybe you do both."

And it's a damn good reply.

One of the most pervasive tactics of the fake news media is decontextualization. Someone does something normal, and all of a sudden there's a coordinated narrative that it's the worst thing ever, and he's the only one who's ever done it.

If someone else did it, and the media did not condemn it, then, yes, it is OK. Either a rule applies the same to everyone, or it's not a rule.

This is elementary logic and morality.

That is the key phrasing in that whole post...and you missed it.

Words matter -- this President is having an impact on this country and our ability to read and listen and understand.

Trump clearly does not get that the fact that Russia was trying to interfere in the election is not okay with American voters.

The fact that a foreign country -- not a consultant from another country --- may try to do it again and he would go along is disturbing.

As I said clearly --- no question -- after the 2016 election, there isn't a politician BUT Trump that would admit they would take information and might not go to the FBI......

That's all.

Only HE doesn't see the problem with Russia's attempt to interfere with the election.

Every other person does.

He doesn't.

That means something.

The President of the USA can't even pretend that he doesn't want foreign countries to influence American elections .

No, it's not. It has to be a "donation". Information cannot be "donated".

And ha has been wise in doing that. We know that The Swamp conspired to spy on Trump during the campaign and then tried to depose him and is still lying about their role...the KGB has been more honest and reliable about what happened.

You can't make this up. Now we have KGB apologists backing Trump. The conservative movement is truly dead.

Just acknowledging The Demonics own the Swamp and can't be trusted.
