Is this the turning point?
Today was, with bi-partisan condemnation, a terrible day (week) for our country, engineered by the president of the United States in collusion with a primary US adversary.
I'm not sure yet if it meets the legal definition of treason but it's certainly the behavior of a traitor. Spare me the snark, I'd like to see anyone justify Trump's actions. |
Even if there was no collusion directly with the Russians in 2016, clearly there was collusion at the summit. I’d suggest their two hour private meeting was to get their stories straight, because they mirrored each other in all respects. So very embarrassing, so frightening, so unpresidential and so un American. Unbelievable to see our president lick the boots of the very man who ordered the 2016 attack on us. Good luck base trying to make this summit anything other than it was.

This pales when compared to trading prisoners for the tranny traitor.

I can tell you what didn't happen. This country caught the hackers red handed, with the trail leading directly to the head of the snake Putin, documenting an attack on our democracy and our country, yet our CLOWN (POTUS) not only stated to the world he believed Putin that there was no Russian hacking; he threw all of our intelligence community under the buss. I've already heard the obvious Trump supporter canned comeback on the other thread, blaming Obama without any condemnation of Trump's shameful licking of the boots of the leader of a decades old foe attacking our democracy and way of life. What about Obama, what about Clinton; what about TRUMP? |

Wasn't crazy about the news conference. But I haven't seen the transcripts or heard any dialog of what happened at the summit meeting?

Follow the money Though Trump has never succeeded in developing property in Russia, his company has benefited significantly from Russian money in the form of its clientele. For example, according to a Bloomberg investigation into Trump World Tower, which broke ground in 1998, “a third of units sold on floors 76 through 83 by 2004 involved people or limited liability companies connected to Russia and neighboring states.” Trump World Tower sales agent Debra Stotts told Bloomberg that they had “big buyers from Russia and Ukraine and Kazakhstan.” New York real estate broker Dolly Lenz sold “about 65 units in Trump World Tower […] to Russian buyers looking for real estate.” Lenz is quoted as saying “I had contacts in Moscow looking to invest in the United States […] what do you have to recommend?’ They all wanted to meet Donald. They became very friendly.” In 2002, “the push to sell units in Trump World to Russians expanded,” when Sotheby’s International Realty reportedly teams up with Kirsanova Realty, a Russian company. The Trump Organization reportedly welcomed the Russian clientele. For example, a 2013 article in The Nation about the influx of Russian money in Miami real estate noted that Elena Baronoff, a Russian-American socialite once described on the cover of a Russian magazine as “The Russian Hand of Donald Trump,” operated a real-estate company catering to Eastern European buyers out of the lobby of the city’s Trump International Beach Resort. The New Republic has also extensively documented how the Trump Organization actively sought Russian buyers, so much so that the area around Trump Sunny Isles in Florida became known as “Little Moscow.” Within Trump’s Florida licensing developments, Reuters identified a total of twenty units in Trump Towers I, II, and III that were purchased by individuals with Russian passports or addresses. Individuals with Russian passports or addresses also purchased sixteen units in Trump Palace, twenty-seven units in Trump Royale, and thirteen units in Trump Hollywood. Trump accepted Russian money on a personal level, as well; Russian fertilizer magnate Dmitry Rybolovlev’s 2008 purchased of one of Trump’s mansions in Palm Beach for $53 million more than Trump had paid for it four years earlier. Some of these Russian buyers have brought more than just money to the Trump Organization—they’ve also brought links to Russian organized crime. In 1984, a Russian by the name of David Bogatin purchased five condos in Trump Tower for a total of $6 million. Bogatin, who was linked to Russian mob boss Semion Mogilevich, pleaded guilty three years later to “evading millions of dollars in state fuel taxes in what state officials called one of the largest gasoline bootlegging operations in the nation.” The five condos were seized by the government, who claimed that he had used the purchase to launder money. Separately, In April 2013, New York police arrested “29 suspects in two gambling rings” run out of condos in Trump Tower. A condo directly below a unit owned by Trump reportedly “served as the headquarters for a ‘sophisticated money-laundering scheme’” run by an individual who worked for Semion Mogilevich. Until he began running for president, Trump not only did not deny his extensive dealings with Russian investors and clients but actually spoke about it frequently, boasting of the amount of Russian money that flowed through his projects in numerous interviews. So, too, did his sons, Donald Jr. and Eric: In 2008, Donald Jr. told investors in Moscow that “Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets,” while Eric reportedly told a golf reporter in 2014 that the Trump Organization was able to expand during the financial crisis because “We don’t rely on American banks. We have all the funding we need out of Russia.” |

He’s pleaded not guilty on all counts. Then, in February, Mueller filed a new case against him in Virginia, with tax, financial, and bank fraud charges. 4) Rick Gates, a former Trump campaign aide and Manafort’s longtime junior business partner, was indicted on similar charges to Manafort. But in February he agreed to a plea deal with Mueller’s team, pleading guilty to just one false statements charge and one conspiracy charge. 5-20) 13 Russian nationals and three Russian companies were indicted on conspiracy charges, with some also being accused of identity theft. The charges related to a Russian propaganda effort designed to interfere with the 2016 campaign. The companies involved are the Internet Research Agency, often described as a “Russian troll farm,” and two other companies that helped finance it. The Russian nationals indicted include 12 of the agency’s employees and its alleged financier, Yevgeny Prigozhin. 21) Richard Pinedo: This California man pleaded guilty to an identity theft charge in connection with the Russian indictments, and has agreed to cooperate with Mueller. 22) Alex van der Zwaan: This London lawyer pleaded guilty to making false statements to the FBI about his contacts with Rick Gates and another unnamed person based in Ukraine. 23) Konstantin Kilimnik: This longtime business associate of Manafort and Gates, who’s currently based in Russia, was charged alongside Manafort with attempting to obstruct justice by tampering with witnesses in Manafort’s pending case this year. 24-35) 12 Russian GRU officers: These officers of Russia’s military intelligence service were charged with crimes related to I never saw that same requirement with the BENGHAZI investigation was more than two-year investigation, encompassing 33 hearings held in congressional investigations and four public hearings, at an estimated cost of $7 million Republicans once again failed to find a smoking gun to pin the tragedy on Clinton or anyone else But this is a witch hunt |

politics has become religion...ironically transformed by many of the same people who insist that religion has no place politics...if you don't conform you are a heretic...true believers run around repeating memorized lines from their version of the good book believing that their devotion makes them better, smarter and in charge of all the unassailable facts and knowledge on virtually any subject....sharing a meme or cutting and pasting establishes undeniable facts...inescapable from every aspect of society now...strangely devoid of a sense of humor and seemingly ready to pounce at any opportunity to prove moral superiority....conditioned human robots staring and their phones all day getting marching orders from the Matrix...lots of zealots with lips moving so fast the ears don't work.... it's actually pretty amusing when you step away and watch the circus...but it's probably not going to end well as these things tend to go |
it would be impossible to watch that and be inspired by it, or to gain confidence from it. it was bad

Donald J. Trump
✔ @realDonaldTrump While I had a great meeting with NATO, raising vast amounts of money, I had an even better meeting with Vladimir Putin of Russia. Sadly, it is not being reported that way - the Fake News is going Crazy! 10:22 AM - Jul 17, 2018 43.5K 38.9K people are talking about this when you find yourself in a hole they say stop digging .. Trump say's keep digging until you come out the other side |
Yeah all the fake news, countless republicans, Democrats, even his own state news station Fox News have gotten it all wrong; I guess we were all tuned into the wrong media coverage. I know he isn’t a big drinker, but something is severely clouding his judgement 🤮
