President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

BTW, take 95 percent of our country's history. And impeachment proceedings would be underway right now. Actually, it never would have made it this far. His behavior over the last year plus would have warranted it long ago. We've allowed ourselves not not only become inured to his lies, bullshit, ignorance and hateful beliefs, but on top of it, he will betray his own country and its values for himself. . . .with a thug who is contemptuous of our country standing next to him and soaking it up.

BTW, the "press is the enemy of the people"? The American press (which had to alternate with the Russian agents posing as journalists), to the extent it got a chance to ask any questions, acquitted itself amazingly. Two American reporters were the only ones in the room who actually confronted Putin with tough questions. In this environment, a free press is something people should be fighting their asses off to protect. Unfortunately, the same dumbing down of America that makes it so impeachment proceedings aren't already underway, will make it so that more people don't realize what is important to a free society that protects our individual rights.

What we just saw was not only imbecilic, which would be embarsassment enough. It was treasonous. No hyperbole.

 

One other thing. Trump's prepared remarks were about how dialogue and diplomacy are much better than having antagonistic relationships. Why isn't he eager to have a summit with Iran, where he stands next to Rouhani and equivocates and doesn't have any grievances.
