President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

This isn’t a scandal as we are used to thinking about it. This isn’t an embarrassment, or a gaffe. This is a security breach. It calls into question whether America’s foreign policy is being driven by the favors President Donald Trump owes Vladimir Putin for his political help or, perhaps worse, whether it’s being driven by the fear that Putin will release far more damning material if Trump crosses him.

This is a story that makes clear nothing the current White House says can be trusted. Donald Trump Jr., who enthusiastically tried to work with Russians to upend the election, called allegations that the Trump campaign would work with the Russians "disgusting” and “phony.” His father tweeted, as recently as May 12, that “the story that there was collusion between the Russians & Trump campaign was fabricated by Dems.”

These are acts that cast doubt on the basic patriotism of the current White House — a White House that takes, as its slogan, “America First.”

The Trump administration isn’t a farce. It’s a tragedy.

 

Nothing burger? Junior didn't appear to think it was nothing. He said, "I love it" upon learning of the meeting's possible substance.
If you're running for POTUS and someone with connections says he has dirt on your opponent, you're giddy. The notion that the candidate's son would not share this info with his father/candidate is absurd.

 

If you didn't believe it yesterday, believe it today:
This is worse than Watergate. And it's a lot worse.

 

What I absolutely love about this is that people who, to this point, refuse to believe a single word Putin has ever uttered will do a 180 and take his word as gospel if/when he "releases far more damning material."

 

This could just be Act II in the Putin play. How many acts will there be?

 

We'll know it's about to end as soon as someone utters "Out, vile jelly!" to Trump.

 

They're lying sacks of shit.

 

He was really bitter about this.

 

Moran:

 

Yeah, man, that's the story. Him being bitter. More like astounded at Fredo's stupidity

 

No, he's reminding you of how stupid the Trumps are.
