Stop this Left vs Right BS and think of the USA first.
Dude, that ship sailed years ago. Communists are at the gates doing whatever neccessary to take America down to the level of the countries of those invading us.
We finally have a non-politician as President only too happy to bust up the status quo.

LOL. Man you bought not only the Kool Aid but the whole jar. This President isn’t busting anything all he is doing is what’s best for him. Communists at the gate that was funny.

Comforting to know that there is still an overwhelming majority of posters here who believe in honesty and integrity.
Well, to be fair the poll question said "Should a presidential candidate alert the FBI to foreign adversaries trying to give them “dirt”.

Subtract the word 'adversaries' and the results may be different.

That's the problem there, a guy who is clueless, no experience, a light weight in the ways of Washington. He have busted up nothing, Washington is worst now than it ever was, we have never seen anything play out like we are seeing today. This non politician crap is just that, crap. We became the great country we are today under the status quo, please.

Seems.

There seems to be a lot of hyperbole...nazis...communists...dictatorship...en d of free press...all one big fat political talking point or another.

Maybe.

Maybe, we aren't transitioning to anything of the sort but people are trying to claim otherwise as a political attack.

The precedents were set decades, even centuries ago. Learn a little history.

It helps that I made it a public poll. You better have the balls to come out in public and say foreign adversaries are cool to jump in bed with. Either that or set your profile to private... which I’ve seen many of those voting against it have.

And, he's walked it back, sort of:



"President Donald Trump said Friday he would "absolutely" report political dirt dug up by a foreign country to federal authorities, seeking to quell a controversy over comments he made a day earlier in a high-profile interview.

"Of course you give it to the FBI or report to the attorney general or somebody like that," Trump told Fox and Friends in a live interview Friday. "Of course you do that. I thought it was made clear.""

So, everyone who agreed with his original position, where do you stand now?

Lol. I’m going with off the cuff Trump accidentally spilling the truth rather than everyone told me you’re ****ed if you don’t backpedal Trump.
