  7. @7:40 Donald Trump Jr. testified before Congress, under oath, that he met with Russian Agent th "get dirt on Clinton", but said he did not get any.

    In plain English he admitted that he committed treason, but even fucked that up!

    Now if you want to discuss hypocritical...

  8. LOL that is not treason except in your tortured excuse for a mind. The only definition of treason is in the federal constitution. Look it up.

  9. 5:33, what do you propose he should say, and to what purpose?

    ReplyDelete
  10. @9:22 he might ask Uncle Vlad, nicely of course, to stop his spies from hacking into our Defense Network. Pretty please, Vlad buddy, pleeeeese?

    I'm sure that if he groveled enough Putin would tell his spies not to be so arrogantly blatant for six months or so. After all, aren't we all friends now?

    Of course, he'd have to be careful, otherwise Russia might call in its loans, and bankrupt the entire Trump Organization instantly.

  11. Obama told the Russians to "cut it out." That went a long way, didn't it? The president whose greatest accomplishments were more transgender bathroom choices and a terrible medical plan where he lied about being able to keep your doctor and low costs. Black unemployment reached record levels during Obama's terms, a record he still holds. The worst president since Jimmy Carter.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Trump knows that talking to the liberal media about the Russians is time wasted. Trump's firing of the cybersecurity chief now seems more justified than ever -- the same stupid idiot who said the elections were the most secure elections in history. This is the same guy who let the Russians hack America.

    ReplyDelete
  13. How about restoring the US Economy after the Bush2 Recession? Does Obama get any credit for that? The Stock Market grew under Obama at twice the rate it did under Trump.

    And the Saudi Mastermind of the 9/11 attacks was killed - after the Organization that Bush1 and Bush2 financed had been wiped out.

    As far as what you call "Obama's terrible medical plan", it's still in place, because the Republicans haven't been able to come up with anything close to being as good.

    Transgender bathroom choices? If they bother you, close the damned stall door!

    Oh, and wouldn't it be nice if Trump would at least go as far as Obama did and at a minimum tell the Russians to cut it out?
    His silence on this speaks volumes

  14. Here's how Biden should handle the Russia rift after he's inaugurated: send Hillary to the Kremlin with a big "RESET" button (only this time spell it right). Hey, it worked for Obama!

    ReplyDelete
  15. Or, since Biden doesn't owe over a billion to Russian Lenders, he could impose economic sanctions.
