Trump team met with Russian lawyer during campaign

[SoLoR1]

Wonder how long will it take to Drumpf starting to brag on twitter how much jobs he is creating for lawyers.

[Belize]

You know you done fucked when the vice-chairman of the Senate intel says there's clear evidence that the meeting was to dig up dirt using a U.S. adversary.

Hannity had a psychotic episode on Twitter last night. He's still recovering.

I like the part where he quotes himself.

Crazy guy.

If you're an honest person telling the truth you don't dramatically change your story three times in a weekend.

If you're an honest person. you don't go to Russia during a presidential campaign because they have dirt on your opponent. I mean...they're actually using that as their story now. "We were trying to collude, but turns out they didn't have anything so it's okay".

Man, I just visited it out of morbid curiosity...I've made a severe mistake. I blame this all on you : (

Thanks for the heads-up. I'll avoid it.

But Fox is being beyond ridiculous.

I like how "Obama to appear at Dem fundraiser" somehow is more newsworthy than "Donald Trump Jr admits to trying to collude with Russia".

And Junior lawyers up!

Just for funsies, Trump also appears in the pop video of the son of Russian oligarch Aras Agalarov. Who happened to buy property from Trump for 60 million over the value without ever seeing it and was also working with Trump to get a Russian Trump tower built. Suffice to say, Trump knows them personally. Their publicist, Rob Goldstone, is the one who set up the meeting between Trump Jr. and Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya.

Between North Korea's leader (Wart from Super Mario Brothers 2) and Putin manipulating the hell out of Trump, it's almost like the whole world outside of Trump and his hard-right supporters realize he's a moron.

Didn't everyone say that before the election? Americans care about pocketbooks and security, both are looking good. I can't believe everyone is going to underestimate again.

[Slybak]

1) Hacking by Russian government is fake news and so is collusion
2) Russian government might have hacked but no evidence of collusion
3) What does "collusion" really mean, anyway?
4) OK there was collusion but we didn't get anything from it
5) Collusion is no big deal everyone does it especially Crooked Hillary

Stupid Watergate, indeed.

I suppose both are looking good if your head is in the sand yes.

I never said I underestimated Trump. I don't underestimate the stupidity of his supporters. Of course security is looking good, nothing much has changed from Obama's era.

0 homeland terrorist attacks since January and a good economy? Give me more sand please.

Not sure why you're saying this like it's some kind of huge accomplishment under Trump. Like I implied, Trump has basically changed nothing since Obama's administration and his security policies.

That's not how being president works. You get all the credit or the blame while you are in charge. It's like being the QB. With your argument, I could say well Obama's policies were just an extension of Bush's.

If that was the case, you'd be Obama's greatest supporter. Obama tripled the Dow during his terms, which you cannot really credit Bush with, since it was on the way down to 6500. Trump cannot even meet Obama's unemployment percentage. Because going from double digits to around 5, would mean Trump has to have unemployment at around 0 to simply match.

Strangely enough... I don't remember you as even a mild Obama supporter.

The policies set by the former president are attributed to that president for some time yes, that is how it works, its why presidents have legacies. If the current potus has had no time to do anything (or in the case of Trump, has flat out not done nothing), then things cannot yet be attributed to them. Trump has on many occasions taken credit for things that Obama himself was directly responsible for. At most you could say "Good for you Trump, you didn't come in and say everything from before me is now void". Do you think that once a new potus comes in that everything just changes over night?

You have a very poor understanding of how things work.

I'm curious does the dog ever catch his tail?

Yes

There is so much irony here the story is fucking magnetic.
