American politicos universally decry Prez Trump and his posturing with Russia amid election tampering allegations.
Here's the round-up with a focus on local politicos and a scathing kicker at the conclusion of the compilation . . .
Springfield News Leader: Blunt, McCaskill condemn President Trump for siding with Putin. Hawley brings up Hillary
WIBW: Moran: "Putin is not our friend" | Kansas Sens. react to Russia summit
Turner Report: Cleaver on Trump/Putin press conference - Today is a sad day in American history
Fox4: Rep. Kevin Yoder said in a statement - “I trust our intelligence community and do believe that Russians have attempted to interfere in elections here and around the globe. It’s why I voted for bipartisan sanctions on Russian officials that the President signed into law and continue to support efforts by the DOJ to hold Russian bad actors accountable.”
Former FBI Director James Comey: "This was the day an American president stood on foreign soil next to a murderous lying thug and refused to back his own country. Patriots need to stand up and reject the behavior of this president."
You decide . . .
I'm honestly wondering how the President's supporters would spin this one. I will say that some of the criticism from the right is very mild. And of course Comey is going to rant against him, the guy fired him.
ReplyDeleteAnd this is how the road to impeachment begins.
DeleteHe will serve two terms to completion.
DeleteYouTube “obama hot mix with putin”. Talk about collusion.
ReplyDelete^^^^ that's it, that's your defense. Obama did it too? So much for the high ground of American populism and President Trump.
ReplyDeletePutin probably lies less than James Comey. I know he lies less than Carwash Cleaver. Much more honest than either lying Clinton.
ReplyDeleteLets see... who met with Putin and told him not to worry, because he would have a lot more flexibility after the election.... Obama. Hmmm, what did he mean by that????
ReplyDeleteIs Russia our enemy? No. Do we want war with Russia? No. Do we want to get along with Russia? Yes.
Trump is doing the right thing. Just like he did with North Korea. The left is losing their minds... which means he is doing the right things.
The evil military industrial complex hates this... and hate him with a passion. They don't make money unless there is a war somewhere. They would make a fortune in a war with Russia.
Go Trump!
Well said
DeleteTrump 2020. Westport she-he’s and plaza mobs...down the drain.
ReplyDeleteTrump is surrounded by enemies, so is Putin. I bet their conversation was one of the most interesting in the last 100 years. Two of the craziest mfs to ever chat with each other.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely trust our 'Intelligence' Agencies. James Clapper would never lie. John Brennan is a straight shooter. Remember all of those "Weapons Of Mass Destruction"?
ReplyDeletePlus, we really do have the high ground when it comes to "Meddling".
That wasn't us, in the streets of Kiev overthrowing a Democratically Elected government in 2013, was it? Obama didn't send $90,000,000.00 to Bibi Netanyahu's opponent in 2014 did he? We didn't depose the duly elected leader in Iran in 1954, did we? We didn't kill the Vietnam President, did we? Was it the US that switched out Politicians on an almost weekly basis in the 1970's? The list of countries we have interfered with in elections runs into the hundreds over the last 50 years.
The Republican/Democrat Uni-Party-Inside-The-Beltway wolves think they see a crack in the armor and dream of another Bush-Clinton, good-ole-boy fuck the middle class up the ass puppet in office.
The hysterics, hyperbole and ululations from the talking heads, who, would condemn rapprochement or sword rattling equally, is disgusting.
James Comey should be in prison, Cleaver's Foreign Policy expertise highlight is a trip to Belton for chocolate chip pancakes at the International House of Pancakes and Yoder should shut the fuck up if he wants to pig out at the trough like the rest of the shitheels.
Bandwagoning pukes with their fingers in the air, smelling their own gas.
So the tratiorous Chuck sides with commies, hell at their white anti gay commies right chuck? And you thought the hidden muslim was bad. What ever happened to Blue Lives matter and thin Blue Line? Trump is clearly siding with the kgb over us Law enforcement, you cop lovers should be exploding right now but your too stupid to think straight since the fox bot is broken right now.
Delete8:21, there's not a shred of evidence for collusion, no matter how many times you say it. :)
DeleteThis is a bunch of bizzaro reverse McCarthyism. This strange obsession with Putin is a form of mental illness.
ReplyDeleteThe actions of our 'Intelligence' Agencies, the FBI, the CIA, the DNI, the State Department and the DOJ dwarfs ANYTHING the Russians did to try and "meddle" with the 2016 Election.
ReplyDeleteThe traitors, the seditious, criminal traitors who are, members of the Deep State and even now, seek to subvert power from the electorate, pose a danger that that infinitely overshadows the insignificance of the threat posed by the Russians.
Pour that shit on your 'International' pancakes Cleaver.
Hillary and Barack greased the skids to sell Putin one-third of our Country’s uranium reserves. Huge Russian donations to the Clinton slush fund followed. Looking for treason, look there.
ReplyDeleteI am horrified by the reaction of the majority of the talking heads slamming the President for not taking Putin to the woodshed. What on earth do they want? War? Give the President credit to conduct summit meetings in his own way, without critical second guessing. He has to build a relationship with our long time adversary if there is ever to be some degree of harmonious progress. There is so much dirt in the intelligence community yet to be exposed, the President must tread carefully. We don’t know what was said at the meeting. Enough said, may calmer more logical heads prevail.
ReplyDelete@ 10:02 tell the truth for once!
ReplyDeleteBush II allowed a Canadian Company to buy US Uranium Leases, over both Democratic and US Military objections.
Then a Russian Oligarch bought the Canadian Company, something that neither Obama or Clinton had any way of blocking, since it did not involve the US, only Canada and Russia.
Do your own research and thinking rather that spew regurgitated Breitbart Lies!
Like the gay globalist whisperer and the family foundation fraudster didn't have any side deals with more than one Russia oligarch to look away for later paydays from the same.
DeleteThe only thing that I can see that will handle this is for PDJT to simply allow everyone to lose their minds, go over board with their threats and then just declassify EVERYTHING and expose it all. All of those trying to take him down with the muh-Russia conspiracy are getting more desperate and volatile and think they are boxing him in. It will be THEIR screaming, THEIR threats, THEIR intimidations that will cause him to go before the American people and simply say….here is the truth you are not getting. We are at a watershed moment in our nation’s history. The American people need ALL the truth and know ALL the facts and see how much and for how long the Deep State have been a rogue natio
ReplyDeleteYup, @ 10:28 two terms of 15-20 years each, both sentences to run consecutively, but no time off for good behavior.
ReplyDeleteTreason used to be a capital offense, but this Insane Man-Child treats it as a recreation.
Treason how exactly? You recall Rosenstein said no Americans were involved and the election wasn't affected.
DeleteThis is called foreign policy. You know, the stuff Obama claimed to do inbetween apologies as Russia and Syria laughed at him.
You're screeching Russia like a true McCarthyite, there's zero evidence for what you suggest, and you simply can't get over the defeat that was handed your candidate. By the American people.
Today's posters on Tony's are too young to remember when Russia was our enemy. Read some history of what Russia was saying and doing during the 50s & 60s. Ask someone who remembers people risking life and limb to get over the wall the Russians put up. Putin is a ruthless leader, on par with other tyrants around the world. Educate yourself.
ReplyDeleteAll the more reason to want diplomacy. Unless you want war.
DeletePutin is no more blood thirsty than any other war hawk American especially that piece of shit John McCain,cant wait for that fuck to die...too bad it didnt happen in a POW camp.
DeleteThe Russians are coming. The Russians are not going to Start a war with the U.S...IF BOMB BOMB HILLARY WAS PRESIDENT WE WOULD BE IN SEVERAL WARS .CHINA IS THE ONES YOU HAVE TO LOOK OUT FOR and it will be a Economic war. .
ReplyDeletePresident TRUMP is playing the LIBERAL Democrat worthless piece of shit dickheads like a violin ! He's so far superior and ahead of those whacked out morons , TRUMPSTER is talking about nukes , Crimea , Syria , terrorists , and prevented any type of war , the LIBERAL Democrat worthless piece of shit homos are rambling on about collision collusion that never happened !¡!!
ReplyDeletePresident Trump could be on his way out. You can't side with Russian over your own country, a dumb political move that only his greatest lapdogs will accept. It's just doesn't play well to any audience and is hard to defend.
ReplyDeleteIt was a meeting. Fairly routine as such things go. That's it.
DeleteActually, I would really like to believe that President Trump is playing 3D chess here but it's getting harder and harder to support his stance on this. Nobody wants war with Russia but we do want leaders who protect America above all else. That is what was promised: America first.
ReplyDeletePresident Trump should have called President Putin a liar. The same people that are condemning him would have been saying he was trying to start World War III. President Putin should have pointed out to the elite of the United States they seem think they can go around the world and mettle in everyone else's nations.
ReplyDeleteI watched the joint press conference and it was quite typical for how these things usually go.
ReplyDeleteTrump didn't say anything shocking, let alone surprising.
I have no idea what meeting was watched by the Liberal Socialist Democrats, the Muslim former CIA director, the fired and disgraced former FBI director, and all the Democrat-controlled media propagandists.
Keep in the forefront of your mind the fact that all these corrupt individuals and institutions were suddenly in the minority and/or unemployed when President Trump pulled off the greatest victory in decades. They've got a terrible case of sour grapes and fear that they'll go to prison, permanently lose influence and power, and be publicly exposed as enemies of the state.
Trump is a negotiator. He's reined in South Korea, put China on the ropes, has Iran quivering, Russia now eager to appease us, and the rest of the world knows that the U.S. is now leading with strength, not apologizing with a limp-wristed Obama tour.
Hey there 11:35 , you are correct ! Thanks for putting this in perspective , big Picture stuff that the prez and putin talked about in private , meaningless little shit rat crap that the liberals ate wetting their depends over . All this is making Trump's support stronger & the douchebag homosexual agenda tranny's in the media look like the weak panty wastes that they are !
ReplyDelete^^^^^ Don't comment on your own comment all night loser. You're a Trump junkie and your obsession with homosexuals says a lot more about your own proclivities for anyone else. Typical Republi-Cunt. Overcompensating.
DeleteWhen all else fails, blame Hillary. That's not a hater comment, it's just the truth. Most voters would've sided with Russia over her and it's obvious from these comments that they do!
ReplyDeleteSo funny! You lost, and you atill can't handle it.
Delete"who met with Putin and told him not to worry, because he would have a lot more flexibility after the election.."
ReplyDeleteUh, nobody did. Obama never made those comments to Putin.
Trumpers are morons.
Except for the audio of him making it, which is commonly available. :)
DeletePresident Surrender strikes again.
ReplyDeleteNorth Korea was outsourced to China and then allowed to keep all their weapons. China continues to expand militarily into the South Pacific and economically into South America. Trump continues to undermine NATO and Europe allies in the UK and Germany. Terrorists in Niger kill US Army Rangers with no consequences. Same in Yemen. Egyptian base is surrendered to Russia. Turkey's secret service is allowed to commit assault in the US and leave unpunished. Syria's Assad allowed to consolidate power with Russia's help. No plans for Iran after withdrawing the US from the non-nuke agreement.
Trump can't even get Mexico to pay for his wall. That was supposed to be so easy.
The GOP is full of incompetent weak idiots that insults law enforcement officers, intelligence agents, the military, POWs and Gold Star families. They are fucking disgraceful and yes, treasonous. Vote every single one of them out.
President surrender was Obama, who stumbled, apologized, and pontificated his way to weakness.
DeleteAnd, gave the little boy bugger Islamists our Billion$ because Barry wants goodwill for when he takes Michael to visit those "57" BathHouses!
DeleteHow much US intelligence did Trump give away to Putin in their closed session?
ReplyDeleteThat's why the secret meeting happened. It's a repeat of last year when Trump revealed top secret Israeli intelligence to Russian officials in the Oval Office.
Putin has Trump by the balls financially. If Russia pulls the plug on Trump's international real estate financing, the Trump empire goes bankrupt. If Russia reveals the exact source of the funding, Trump and his kids would be up on criminal charges for violating US foreign asset control and money laundering laws.
Congress has to subpoena all Trump's tax business tax records immediately to find out exactly how deeply Trump is indebted to Russian money.
You're completely bought in to hysteria.
DeleteTrump did promise America first.
ReplyDeleteHe just let out one word.
Now it's Blame America First.
Impeachment time.
Liberals are like the Partridge Family , Europe is like ABBA , TRUMP'S Like the Ramones , simple enough for you panzies to get it ?
ReplyDeleteDude, stop shilling for the orange President. Nobody is buying it. And if you think the Ramones would have anything to do with any scumbag politician, you're nuts.
DeleteHey, Danny, NOBODY cares what a f'ugly freckle faced red-headed stepchild of the drugged out 60's who's still drugged out HAS TO SAY!
DeleteNeither Trump nor Putin are globalists. Both march to their own drummer.How was that, Tony ? Was that OK ? How's your coffee this morning ? Is it good ?
ReplyDeleteChuck, you dumbfuck, the US did not overthrow the President of Vietnam you Russian red pile o shit. He was over thrown by his own generals and the US stated they would not intervene if the generals decided to do so, which they did. It was obviously an unmitigated disaster after it was all said and done just like you so I can't take any commentary you put on here seriously when you fuck that little fact up.
ReplyDeleteBuncha fucking Russian red piles of shit on this board these days. My guess is they all know they're useful idiots and are pissed they got worked by a Russian Sympathizing, Unamerican shit bag of a President who cares about one thing and one thing only - himself.
And for all you turds arguing "well we screw with elections and meddle in other countries too", I'm sure you'd say the same if it was Obama or Clinton giving Putin a knob slobbin. Sure you would.
Well, the real issue is that you can't own a simple electoral defeat and the obvious failed Dem strategy behind it. All of the Russia hysteria-porn of the left is about that: nothing more or less.
DeleteThere's no scrap of evidence for collusion. Mueller denied it. Rosenstein just said that no Americans were involved and the outcome of the election was not affected. And even St. Obama told us that he ordered Putin to stop tampering and he did! You guys are confused.
Anyway, you've been amped up with Russia hysteria that's a product of a hilariously corrupt clown show by Mueller and a raving media that still can't grasp how out of touch they are.
So funny. Trump in a landslide next time. Your real enemy isn't the Russians or Trump.
It's at least half the American people. ;)
Why is Trump so subservient to Puti? Puti's got the Pee Pee tapes.
ReplyDeleteHoax, sorry. You want subservient? Obama let him grab the Crimea without a peep!
DeleteYesterday was great. A bunch of people who never liked trump in the first place were throwing fits. Of course they didn't have any arguments they just repeated the phrase "disgrace" a bunch to attempt to gaslight the public. Go ahead and watch the press conference and realize it's pretty standard fare and you're just not dealing with rational or clear minded people who are freaking out. Few realize this
ReplyDeleteIf it's "at least half the American people" as you say, then Trump isn't the President of the United States!
ReplyDeleteIf you are correct, then the actions he is deliberately taking are for the purpose of dividing the Country into two parts, when the Destruction of this Country can only benefit Putin!
You do realize that by supporting Trump's unbalanced actions you are equating "American Patriotism" with "Communist Totalitarianism" don't you?
Wrong. I think this is first grade math. At least half means more than half. The point is that Dems had nothing to say to their more traditional centrist base, and the election proved it.
DeleteFor that matter you're still in freefall. Paleolibs like Pelosi vs. the junior team headed by Cortez. If you're as concerned about comnunism as you say, check her out.:)
You really make no sense though. Is Putin under your bed? Is he stealing your cookies? I think you're the unbalanced one sweetie. ;)
"Except for the audio of him making it, which is commonly available. :)"
ReplyDeleteSmirk all you want. There was no Obama / Putin hot mike flexible comment moron.
The comments defending treason here are despicable and pathetic. GOP supporters are now reduced to aiding and comforting the enemy. This is rock bottom. Why don't you all just complete your shameful turncoat shitshow with a few flag burnings and then spit on some veterans.
Sorry, go check Snopes:
DeleteWww.snopes.com/fact-check/obama-more-flexibility-russia
And they're notoriously left-leaning, even. True, it was Putin's minister, but in that government same difference.
Look, spare me the instant outrage and sudden flag-waving. The only reason you even know the word 'Treason' is that somehow in crazy progressive land that means you might have the Magic Election nullifier after many previous disappointments. So yeah, more smirks for you. :)
I'll say it again. Slowly, even. Rosenstein just said that no intervention involved Americans, and it didn't affect the electoral outcome. Mueller has said the same. I know this interrupts episode 87 of the Trump Hate Sweepstakes, but I'm sure you're used to it.
Trump was duly elected, and you still can't get over it. You might try; you just make yourself look like a fool with all this hysteria.
Carry on. :)
I didn't realize Mueller was done with his investigation?
ReplyDeleteLove all the Redpublicans on here defending a President shitting all over his allies and intelligence community (the whole fucking community) and buddying up with a murderous thug. And don't give me this Obama hot mic shit, that was a long fucking time ago and a lot has changed.
Fucking Republicans, you've cashed in your own party in favor of a former reality show star/business conman. A guy who figured he'd lose anyway but parlay that loss into a weirdo segment superstardom ala Alex Jones.
You've all been worked over, just admit it, take the L and move the fuck on.
See 1:46, admit defeat, repeat.
Delete1:10 - You got caught you little bitch. You (and most other Trump dipshits) have been repeatedly bragging about the Obama / Putin comment for years.
ReplyDeleteNever happened.
Now you make the *little" switch that is was actually President Dmitri Medvedev and that it makes no difference.
Fuck off. You were wrong. Period.
If you can't even get the names right in a two man meeting, then just shut the fuck up.
By the way, the investigation continues. Last I checked several Americans have been indicted, including Trump's campaign manager. There will be more indictments. So you are wrong again. STFU traitor.
Sorry, dear. Comment made, and you said it never happened. I can tell you're angry. That's all the left has left.
DeleteBut hey, let it go. I know you don't want to seriously examine Obama's failed presidency.
Take your heart pill, sit down, and admit defeat. Yes, the hilarious clown car of Mueller continues, at vast cost with no results. Not a single indictment for collusion which was sort of the point. That is, when the investigators weren't sexting and talking about how much they hated Trump. ;)
I know, I know. So many disappoinments.
You lost. Get over it. :)
Thanks for the laughs today. But you're also instructive as a textbook example.
ReplyDeleteOk, so now that you get proven wrong about Obama it's "a long time ago" and "a lot has changed.":)
Your post, like most of the mad-dog froth of the left recently, is pretty out there. But the best part is you still don't know why you lost, or can't accept it, or both. The fact is that the Democratic Party is damaged beyond recognition or repair. Voters turned their backs on Obama and weak progressivism. And you're the ones who rigged your own primary for the most unappealing candidate of all time and expected no one to notice or care.
So, it is time to admit your defeat and move the fuck on. Come election day, you'll see the weakness of not having a single issue to take to the people but pathological Trump hate.
Grow up. You lost. Get over it. :)
Hoped Trump would be better than he is, like, normal I guess. Seriously disappointing. Don't care which party you're with, you can't deny his administration has been an unmitigated disaster.
ReplyDeleteWell, 4.8% economic growth in the second quarter. Historic diplomacy in North Korea. Record high consumer confidence. Resurgence of jobs and historic lows in minority unemployment. There's more.
DeleteIt's a disaster, sure, for the progressives.
Hillary 2020!
ReplyDeleteKeep the dream alive!
And now the panic sets in and Trumpovitch tries to reverse his earlier statements and salvage something from his disaster of a performance in Finland.
ReplyDeleteThe World and the American People have seen his instability and incompetence wreaking havoc, but the devotees of "The Cult Of The Donald" are in full hate spewing fury, hoping to drown out Truth with the Big Lie!
Okay, tell us Trumpeteers, how is the Treason your Man-Child committed (and now tries to deny) Obama's fault?
Nah. It waa actually a pretty good clarifying statement. If you read it, which you definitely did not.
DeletePanic? The only panic I have seen is leftists shrieking in fake outrage. Only problem is it's not an electoral strategy. Still, you've been doing it nonstop since election day.
Spewing hate and acting on it is the leftist way. The proof is that you literally talk about nothing but Trump. He owns you. You live in a state of perpetual meltdown and everyone sees it but you. You spent all your time wanking yourselves to Trump hate and now you go into an election with nothing to offer voters. Aww.
Let's take a step back. What was treason exactly? Think hard. Maybe Rachel Maddow will instruct you about what to say. :)
Sorry kiddo. Mueller and Rosenstein have already told us that there was no collusion. No effect on the election and no Americans involved. Hate to break it to you. And Obama said there was no tampering, and that he made Putin quit!
(He actually said that, after he spent his failed administration letting Putin do whatever he wanted)
You lost. You continue losing. :)
Trump and Puti could star in Brokebackski Mountain.
ReplyDeleteA fine romance.
Too funny, but "Barackback Mounting" is the real comedy romance made decades ago. Now, Barry and Michael are starring in their travel guide for visiting those "57" states he mentioned while he was prez. A special feature will be ratings and reviews of their 57 recommended BathHouses.
DeleteMichael who? Inquiring minds want to know!
ReplyDelete2:55 - diplomacy in North Korea, that's funny. I guess if diplomacy is giving legitimacy to brutal dictator then, yes, historic diplomacy. Because the US hasn't gotten shit out of that deal.
ReplyDeleteWe'll see how economic growth is impacted by Trump's tariff wars. Give it a quarter or two. And for all this growth and low unemployment, wages are completely stagnant. I guess that huge Corporate Tax cut hasn't kicked in yet. Oh wait, it has in the form of stock buy backs.
