  • War with Russia

    Maybe Trump thinks that tough tweet talk with Putin will help him at home—lest anyone suspect he’s buddies with Russia. Does anyone think his tweets warning Russia of imminent bombing is helpful at all? To me, it seems reckless and at odds with his previous statements about Russia and the importance of being a good statesman. Remember when he justified his congratulatory call to Putin for winning a rigged election?

    To me, it seems that you're incapable of viewing Trump except through the lens of "He colluded with Russia!!!1!!!1!1!!!1!1!!1!!!!1"

    Somewhere, Putin is smiling.

      And we don't need no steekin' evidence either.

        It’s hard not to, given the story Makes headlines thanks to Trump’s stupid actions (e.g., firing Comey) and exhaustive whining about an investigation he must know would exonerate him if he’s truly in the clear. That makes sense, right? POTUS would have done better to keep his trap shut, but he stupidly didn’t listen to any of his advisors on the matter.

          Actually, they do. 22 indictments worth. If Trump knows he’ll be exonerated, there’s no reason to whine about it. Just savor the victory of being cleared of all charges without disgracing yourself with embarasing protest-too-much tweets.

          Say what you will about Obama, he never whined about the conservative media maligning him for resting his feet on the Oval Office desk, like every president before him. He just let it go.

            Those regard attempts to influence, not attempts at collusion. Thanks for proving my point.

            That you had to resort to something so picayune is interesting. Say what you will about Trump, at least he hasn't used the FBI to prosecute journalists who had the temerity to say bad things about him.

              I can’t find anything about Obama prosecuting journalists who said bad things about him. Can you list the journalists who were prosecuted for criticizing him? You don’t seem to know that whole story.

              Speaking of petty, is there anything more childish than getting into flame wars about the size of one’s penis? I’d wager, if you were Trump’s advisor, to advise him to avoid discussion of that. I think Trump bests Obama in pettiness by far in tweets alone.

                So much disdain in so little commentary.
                The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                    Trump tweets, but as far as I can tell, no thinking is involved. No doubt he takes a lot more care when breaking wind.

                            OBP said Obama prosecuted journalists because they said bad things about him. That isn’t true, so OPB lied or didn’t know the story.
