Republicans and Democrats alike are dismayed by President Trump's comments at his joint press conference with Russian leader Vladimir Putin on Monday. Mr. Trump stunned onlookers by repeatedly defending Putin during the press conference from allegations that Russia interfered in the 2016 election and casting doubt on conclusions to that effect made by U.S. intelligence agencies.
Ari Fleischer, a Republican and prominent Trump defender who served as former President George W. Bush's press secretary, said that while he still does not believe Mr. Trump colluded with Russia in the 2016 elections, he understands now why people think he's being blackmailed.
Standing up to Russia is a make a break issue for me. I will reserve final judgement until more news comes out, but so far, not impressed.
standing up to Russia and do what? put U.S. troops on Russian's border.....send the Pacific fleet and put it on Russian's coasts to make a point?......yeah, let's do that against a nuclear power country....that makes sense so you feel good about yourself and sleep better at night.
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.
Mkay and Romney did not get my vote in part for that reason. Obama and Trump have the same sane Russian policy. Meanwhile Congress appears to be unhinged based upon being the opposition party.
Yes, they sure are. I didn't think after that performance this morning Trump would still have any supporters left at all. Obviously for some there is no bottom.
Mueller is getting ready to do an in-depth course on the subject. That is why all of the Russians he has indicted have been accused of acts of war against America. Now that a state of war has been established, anyone who collaborated, communicated, or assisted them in their cyberattacks is open to a charge of treason.
What did you think it means, out of curiosity...?
accused of an act of war? and that means a state of war exists now? get real. obviously you lefties want to go to war with russia for what ever reason, now that a republican is in office. what you want to pin a war on trump?
as for your asserion of "anyone who collaborated, communicated, or assisted them in their cyberattacks is open to a charge of treason", does that mean obama and hillary need to be charged with treason? after all the hacking too place during obamas administration, not during trumps, and obama DID NOTHING ABOUT IT even though he knew about it happening. in fact obama never even warned anyone that the hacks happened, not even the 21 states the russians successfully hacked. perhaps THATis where the REAL collusion with russia is.......

If Trump had any courage, he would demand that the indicted Russians return with him from Helsinki on AF1 to stand trial. They could all clear their names at the same time, but he would never have enough guts to actually bring that subject up with his boss.
oh get real, again. an indictment is nothing. it has been proven that you can indict a ham sandwich. an indictment is NOT a conviction, sand doesnt even carry the weight of a conviction since evidence from only one side has been heard. or perhaps you would prefer that indictments carry the weight of conviction. perhaps you think the court system we have now should be abolished and just ahve teh grand jury, guilty until proven innocent right?

perhaps that is because the cyber attacks happened on their watch. and you claim trump has no backbone, but the reality is that he has more backbone than obama, both clintons, and carter combined. heis also smarter than those people combined.
in fact i think trump has more backbone than just about any president since the korean war. trump is at least working to get better trade deals for this country, where as previous presidents had used their supple spines to bow down to our trading partners and let them walk all over the US, and let our trading partners use the US as a piggy bank. heck obama gave our enemies money, and no liberal has complained about that.
But, but, but Hillary! But, but, but Obama.
Just save it.
You just watched a sitting US President agree with the leader of a country who has had an adversarial relationship with us for years. That same sitting president threw the entire US intelligence apparatus under the bus in doing so.
lmao...HRC got 400 million of Russian money and not a single peep from the nutty Leftists and their propaganda MSM outlets.
I'm no Hillary supporter, but at least she wasn't out to destroy Democracy and America from within, as Trump and his scumbag degenerate Steve Bannon are!
Wow, John Brennan calls it "treasonous". Others (including GOP lawmakers), call is "shameful" etc. There aren't stronger words in politics.
This summit could not have gone any worse, and given what happens with NATO, and UK, this is simply unacceptable. This guy cannot be allowed to represent the United States anymore.
Former CIA Director John Brennan called President Donald Trump's performance at Monday's news conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin "nothing short of treasonous."
That's fitting coming from a traitor like Brennan.
