In all seriousness, the left wingers in this thread keep repeating the word "treason" but I havent seen a good reason behind it. Just lots of vitriol from the talking heads on democratic liberal news media.
I simply watch the raw recorded press conference on Youtube and draw my own conclusions. I dont need commentators and political thinkers on the left or right to make them for me.
It is interesting to see what other people have to say and CNN commentators appear in suggested videos. I just could not believe how disgusting CNN's coverage of the press conference was.
I'f Im the only person on the planet who thought the meeting and press conference went well ... SO BE IT. Trump and Putin were both level headed and frank. Typical politicians would normally try to say a bunch of nothing and bore the viewer, like Bronco and sometimes even Bush. Trump is seeking peaceful negotiations with Putin, not the promotion of Bronco's failed policies and hostility towards Russia. Also, calling out the left's attempts to undermine Trump at every turn was the right thing to do because it is exactly what they are doing.
When you have a new president you have a chance to begin a new relationship. That is why Trump has had so much success with people like Kim Un. Sure, it will be a long process with successes and failures, but thats the way life is.
If you disagree please be respectful about it. There really is no need to for name calling or cursing. You can do better than that.
Literally nobody that matters cares about any of this. The GOP will do nothing, and they will still win 2018.Question: Ms. Sanders "Was the president speaking extemporaneously or was he speaking off a written speech?", "Who wrote that speech?" "Can we get an unedited and underacted original copy of that speech?" "Can we get the speech writer to confirm that the original speech included the word "wouldn't" rather than "would"?"
No to all of those...okay, then we'll just believe what the president says...mmmKay.
So a one (adversarial) country apology tour? What must his base think of it?https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2018/07/16/some-dare-call-it-treason-219014
"Trump's obeisance to Putin in Helsinki was easy to predict given his earlier refusals to call the Russians out and punish them. But were we ready to see him come this close to violating his oath of office to protect and defend the Constitution? Watching him grovel and defer to Putin revealed Trump as a coward and weakling, an excuse-maker and an apologizer, and as someone unfit to hold the office of president. “If this is what President Trump says publicly, what did he tell Putin privately?” asked Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.)."
Exactly. What did the fat cheeto-in-charge, promise putin when no one was listening in?
Wow, just watched this horrible attempt to back-track, this is about as lame as it could possibly get. If you watch the original conference with Putin there is OBVIOUS he said what he meant, the whole "I meant to say no reason why it wouldent be" just doesn't even remotely come close to how he was phrasing that sentence. Even if that mistake was valid, he STILL was asked directly by the AP reporter "would you now denounce what Russia did and would you now warn him to never do it again". To this he starts his rambling, incoherent babble using the word "server" 6-7 times and totally ignoring the question asked. There is no back track, what was said cannot be unsaid.
Yeah, the walkback was more bullshit.
Here's a tweet by Jake Tapper that says it all:

Even in the attempted clean-up, the president made an aside that undermined it all: “I accept our intelligence community’s conclusion that Russia meddling in the 2016 election took place ...Could have been other people also. Lots of other people out there”

Greasy dog is still trying to use an out by adding that sentence at the end. (bolded).
It's his double-speak to his russian master that shows where his allegiance really lies.
It was also shown in his written statement that he marked out the portion that we will bring to justice whoever did this. I wonder why that was marked out?
I watched 15 minutes of Hannity yesterday just to see how he could possibly spin this, he failed miserably immediately diving into the Hillary email crap. A full hour?, I'd rather be beaten with a rubber hose.I'm getting this from watching CNN, MSNBC, BBC, PBS. I watch FOX to merely get indicators of their total journalistic perversion as state-media. But cutting snippets or combining different ones, they can obscure or eliminate the incriminating parts. I've already convinced myself about FOX some several dozen times; I despise Hannity and I'd like to see him cold-cocked as much as the other; from what I've witnessed over the last couple months, FOX has just become more brazen in its distortions and absurdities.
Maybe someone else, from curiosity, would embrace such a task for an hour or two . . . I'm already too sick to my stomach after watching the sequential and unbroken live broadcast the other day. Hang the Traitor . . .
Such horseshit.
Little bitch just can't bring himself to say anything against Putin, which makes the whole of America Putin's bitch. Pathetic.
You silly liberals still going on about this?
Trump successfully met with Putin, put the lame democrat media back in its place, offered a cooperative tone to Russia and you still have something to complain about?
You really should step back and think about what you wrote. It was childlike, vulgar and cliche.
We are competitors, nothing more, nothing less.

Can’t wait to see the campaign ads using that picture of Trump slouched over like a little kid in the background while Putin is standing straight and looking in command.
I know someone will be smart enough to use that.
Did you see the pic that SHS tweeted out from the official WH photographer? It looks terrible.Can’t wait to see the campaign ads using that picture of Trump slouched over like a little kid in the background while Putin is standing straight and looking in command.
