Your thoughts come out of thin air, spontaneously? Really? Do tell...

 

 I watched the speeches and press conference and can form my own opinion. Sorry you can't (by your own admission, too).

Oh I see--those politicians (and heroes) who have long been traditionally identified as conservatives are now considered Republicans In Name Only in Trump's GOP.

 

War is peace.

Hate is love.

Got it.

McCain has been a POS for much longer than Trump has been in office. He’s bought and paid for by the MIC. F*ck ‘em.

I honestly think he sounds stupid because he's dumbing his message down for his base in Middle America. After all he loves "the poorly educated".

 

He's really not that dumb though...even though he doesn't have a clue about the consequences of his tariffs. I DO think he is a traitor. The Russians have something on him.

Maybe. The Atlantic piece implies this has its origins all the way in the 80s. He may not be this helpless puppet either. But yeah, Trump clearly knows his base. Unless you think he really likes trucker hats. His speech is dramatically different from fifteen to twenty years ago. It's a poor charade that for some reason has been embraced on both sides, for radically different reasons.

trump is playing the left like a stradivarius. there are constant controversies that distract from what's going on. but i think he's really a grand puppet master.

Yep I'm sure there sincerely very upset.

Yes that's my sarcastic voice.

House Speaker Paul Ryan contradicted several comments Trump made during his Helsinki news conference, most notably backing the US intelligence community assessment that Russia meddled with the US 2016 presidential election.

"There is no question that Russia interfered in our election and continues attempts to undermine democracy here and around the world," said Ryan, a Republican from Wisconsin, in a statement. "That is not just the finding of the American intelligence community but also the House Committee on Intelligence."

Ryan continued, "The president must appreciate that Russia is not our ally. There is no moral equivalence between the United States and Russia, which remains hostile to our most basic values and ideals. The United States must be focused on holding Russia accountable and putting an end to its vile attacks on democracy."

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell spoke briefly with reporters Monday, giving his support to the US intelligence community.
"I've said a number of times and I say it again, the Russians are not our friends and I entirely believe the assessment of our intelligence community," the Kentucky Republican said. He did not answer a question on whether he would tell Trump that he disagreed with him.

To say words in DC are cheap would be to erroneously imply that they have value at all.

Why do you believe Paul Ryan when he says that but not "thoughts and prayers"?

When Newt Gingrich comes out against a Republican President, he has definitely crossed the line.

Senator John McCain, Republican of Arizona, declared, “No prior president has ever abased himself more abjectly before a tyrant.” Newt Gingrich, the former House speaker and Trump adviser, declared the news conference “the most serious mistake of his presidency.” Mitt Romney, the 2012 Republican presidential nominee and current Senate candidate from Utah, called it “disgraceful and detrimental to our democratic principles.”

So, Republicans are suddenly a beacon of truth when it fits your narrative. Got it.

Unfortunately for the country, the Republicans in Congress by and large either continue to say nothing, or (like Rand Paul) go to tremendous lengths to defend the indefensible.

Which will continue unabated as long as the opposition continues to fail completely at both making a compelling case regarding Trump's guilt (instead of hoping Mueller magically comes to the rescue), and continues to alienate a large section of their own membership as well as the other universally.

If even a single Republican believed 25% of what they have said, there would be a corresponding action. They haven't done shit. That's all you need to know when determining their sincerity.

So is it your contention that Trump can do no wrong, despite mounds of evidence to the contrary. This isn't liberals vs. conservatives, it's about right and wrong period.

No my contention is that I would never stoop so low to use Paul Ryan or John McCain to bolster my argument (regardless of whether they may be right or not).

What is your problem with John McCain? I only copied a post from the news, Ryan is supposed to be a Trump supporter and even he can't defend Trump this time. I can't stand Newt but Trump seems to like him and he even he turned against Trump on this Putin thing, that's all.
