I think one thing people need to remember is that Trump is essentially a con man. If he were to admit that Putin could just lie about the election tampering, that means that Trump could be lying about ... well, pretty much everything.

So he can't call out Putin without weakening his own position.

Also, he's got a massive ego and can't admit that he got "help" winning the election.

Also, he's probably a traitor.

It's heartening to see Republicans actually standing up for the Russia investigation in any form. Fox & Friends and Donny boy have been doing their damndest to discredit it as a "witch hunt" in the public eye.

...now it'd be a real treat to actually see them DO something to back up their strong words, instead of just holding their noses.

I'm interested to see if this results in anything more than words.


Each one of them will endorse him in his next campaign. Or do the whole "I don't endorse him but I'm still voting down party lines" lame excuse. Even if Trump was seen giving Putin fellatio and wiping his mouth with an American flag it wouldn't change the fact that he's got the (R) next to his name, he's their boy and nobody else is. There won't be another Republican candidate for POTUS in 2020 so it'll be fun to watch everyone currently condemning him walk back their criticism. Again.

From the Onion: GOP Leaders Move Goalposts On Opposing Trump To Him Being Filmed Masturbating On U.S. Flag In Arlington Cemetery

If Trump is masturbating on a flag anywhere other than Arlington, or if he does not ejaculate directly on Old Glory, we will continue to stand behind him. And if fewer than 100 eyewitnesses see him engaged in the masturbation, we will dismiss it as hearsay. Of course, it goes without saying that if he claims it was a joke, all will be forgiven.

Well, expect from McCain, presumably.... And Flake and Corker maybe, since they're not running for reelection, so it won't matter who they endorse in 2020.

Yeah, at this point McCain probably isn't in condition to walk back to his kitchen.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/ ... edirect=on

The willingness of the White House to contemplate handing over a former U.S. ambassador for interrogation by the Kremlin drew ire and astonishment from current and former U.S. officials. Such a proposition is unheard of. So is the notion that the president may think he has the legal authority to turn anyone over to a foreign power on his own.


Especially considering that we don't even have a proper extradition treaty with Russia. This would be a truly bizarre quid pro quo with a foreign autocrat.

“The entire country should be aware of this,” tweeted Tom Nichols, a professor at the U.S. Naval War College and the Harvard Extension School. “If Putin can single out” McFaul, Nichols said, “he can single out anyone. The President’s job is to protect us, not to even *consider* handing any of us over to an enemy government."


Maybe the former CIA director wasn't too far off on accusations of treason.

"Maybe"? "Not too far off"?

Man, you love understatement.

Trump thinks that Montenegro could start World War III.

In an interview with Tucker Carlson:

Carlson: Membership in NATO obligates the members to defend any other member who has been attacked. So let’s say Montenegro, which joined last year, is attacked: Why should my son go to Montenegro to defend it from attack? Why is that?

Trump: I understand what you’re saying. I’ve asked the same question. Montenegro is a tiny country with very strong people.

Carlson: Yeah, I’m not against it — or Albania.

Trump: No, by the way, they have very strong people — they have very aggressive people. They may get aggressive, and congratulations, you’re in World War III.

All of that is wrong. The people of Montenegro aren't aggressive. Montenegro seceded from Yugoslavia peacefully, with an independence referendum. There's no reason to assume that it would want to start a war with any country (their army currently has 1950 active duty members.) And even if it did, the US would not be obligated to help. As Carlson himself spelled it out, NATO obligates the members to defend any other member who has been attacked. It does not obligate the members to join wars of aggression.

Back in middle school, I read a book which claimed Montenegro started the First Balkan War. This does not seem to be the consensus view, but maybe Trump read the same book. *tries to keep straight face*

And I thought I was weird for reading The Iliad in middle school. Sellers was reading books about the Balkan War.

So after bipartisan pressure, he backed off.

How nice to see him taking a parting swipe at the news media being the enemy of the people again, though. Real class act, our president.

Also interesting that Fox News' White House correspondent John Roberts had this to say on his twitter:

President Trump doubles down on his “fake news media - enemy of the people” mantra for reporting that his meeting with Putin was widely panned by members of his own party. That makes me an enemy of the state.


Is that a spine I see? Or is that wishful thinking?
