The first thing a real president would do after definitive notice of Russia's interference in an American election IS CARE.

LightGE, have you READ the FBI's report, and Mueller's report?? There is NO evidence that Russian attempts to affect our election actually changed the outcome of the election. Hillary lost because she is Hillary. Trump may be a Cretin, but Hillary is a crook.

mike bronicki what did Putin do to the US that you think Mr Trump should be responding to? (Please don't say "he interfered with our election". That's too vague. We're you just as upset with Mr. Obama's tepid responses to Russian provocations (like invading Ukraine) or his collusion with them when he said on an open mic, "Tell Vladimir I'll have more flexibility after the next election because it will be my last."?

Nephi Lewis well, according to the most recent indictment (fact) we can start with defrauding the United States and breaking election laws. But somehow this is too vague for you? If you want details just read the dann indictment it is pretty specific. You sir are no patriot.

@nephilewis5080 6 жыл бұрын
I'd be happy to read the indictment. Where can I find that? I'm assuming you've read it, so you know where I can find it...curious that you didn't include a link to it...but then again you seem to think that President Trump was indicted for colluding with Russians to influence the election. So maybe you didn't read it. The indictments are of 13 Russians who are accused of meddling in activities meant to influence the election. What's not clear is that they were intent on picking one candidate over another; they seemed to have been attempting to reduce Americans' confidence in our system of governments and elections. Jumping to the conclusion that this proves Trump colluded with Russia is way off base. That is much different than being wrong in his opinion that Russians tried to affect the election. Regarding collusion with Russia, this indictment is more indicative that they have no evidence that any campaign colluded with Russia. There is, however, evidence that the Obama administration colluded with Russia in the sale of US Uranium rights...

YOU REALIZE THAT WE ARE ABOUT 2 MONTHS IF NOT SOONER FROM GOING TO WAR WITH NORTH KOREA BEFORE THEY FINISH THERE ICB MISSILE PROGRAM AND CAN HIT OUR COUNTRY WITH NUKES RIGHT? DO YOU REALIZE THAT RUSSIA AND CHINA SHARE BORDERS WITH NORTH KOREA AND THAT WHEN WE START TO WIPE NORTH KOREA OFF THE MAP THEY DECIDE TO USE A NUKE ON JAPAN ( OUR MILITARY BASES ) GUAM OR SOUTH KOREA WHERE WE HAVE 30,000 MILITARY PERSONAL AT , IF THEY USE A NUKE WE WILL HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY END THERE COUNTRY IN A MATTER OF 45 MINUTES OR SO.....WHEN IT HAPPENS WE NEED RUSSIA AND CHINA TO 1. NOT HELP THEM OR TRY T KNOCK DOWN OUR NUKES OR PLANES 2. NOT LAUNCH ON US FOR A GOOD PART F THERE BORDERS WILL ALSO GET RADIATION FROM OUR NUKES AS WELL AS MILLIONS OF NORTH KOREA REFUGEES MORE THEN LIKELY CONTAMINATED AND IN VERY BAD SHAPE MAKE A RUN FOR IT TO CHINA AND RUSSIAS BORDERS. REASON WHY CHINA HAS PUT 350,000 TROOPS ON ITS BORDER TO NOT ALLOW THOSE REFUGESS INTO THERE COUNTRY.... SO YEAH WE KIND OF NEED TO KEEP RUSSIA AND CHINA AT LEAST ON TALKING TERMS RIGHT NOW... HOW EVER TRUMP EXE ORDER ON DEC 21 ANNOUNCED A COUNTRY STATE OF EMERGENCY NAMING A HUGE GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT WILL BE SEARCHED OUT BY OUR MILITARY SPECIAL FORCES AND DEEMED ENEMY TO OUR COUNTRY AND ENEMY COMBATANTS AND HAVE BEEN ALL READY SEARCHED FOR AND SOME CAUGHT BY OUR NAVY SEALS ALL OVER THE WORLD AND BROUGHT TO GITMO AND TRIED BY MILITARY TRIBUNIALS.

THINK ABOUT THAT.....PUTIN DOES NOT WANT US POURING BILLIONS INTO OUR MILITARY AFTER OBAMA JUST DESTROYED IT BASICALLY....PUTIN KNEW HE CAN BUY HILLARY LIKE HE DID WHEN HE GOT 20% OF OUR URANIUM WHEN WE IMPORT 80% OF THE URANIUM WE USE BECAUSE WE DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH AS IS SO WHY WOULD WE SELL IT TO RUSSIA? AND DONT FORGET THAT WE JUST ARMED UKRAINE TO HELP IT DEFEND ITSELF AGAINST RUSSIA.

Dan Seven Trump Sr. is not going to jail. Mueller is not going to indict a sitting president. He is a by the book kind of guy who will probably follow precedence. If he finds wrong-doing, he will send a letter to the DOJ/Deputy Attorney General who could then forward it to the congress sitting forth actions considered unlawful. Congress can then move towards an impeachment if they determine those actions to be Impeachable. The House, under the Republicans would probably not vote to impeach Trump. If they did, it is very unlikely he would be found guilty; remember it would require a 2/3rds majority vote to convict. Even if both of those unlikely events occur, he would just be forced to leave office. This nonsensical idea that President Trump will be going to jail is foolish since the new President would probably give him a pardon; just like Nixon got.

It amazes me how people like you are not interested in any facts the facts are Hillary Clinton used the State Department as a means to receive Untold millions of dollars and in return those countries that contributed to the Clinton foundation and Clinton Global initiative got influence in the United States. That's how Russia was able to obtain 20% of America's uranium Supply. Through Shady dealings in the state department. The reality is both parties are corrupt. Russia tries to influence our elections as well as other countries and the United States does the exact same thing. What you think the United States is so self-righteous it would never try to influence a Russian election. The United States in Russia have been trying to influence each other's elections for a very long time this is nothing new. Unless you're an unformed person in this world.

I majored in Public Administration in college, many moons ago. Always had fun, always had a good time. The time came, when I had to choose a Major for College. I chose Public Administration. Several years later, I read the book "The World is Flat." Connected/understood it immediately, this man has wisdom. I looked up my former Professor 10 years later, gave him that book...…………….and he said to me: "This is my Guy, Thomas Friedman is on cutting edge of public policy." I'll never forget that meeting. Thomas Friedman is the man, I highly respect his opinion on many levels. Very Forward thinking, and a TRUE AMERICAN! Just The Facts.

Dom Musilli, so because you claim that Obama was also incompetent (whether it's true or not) means that #45 is somehow excused for being incapable of being a real president? your inane whataboutism comment merely highlights your own stupidity and obvious lack of education.

Iriha Schu negative, I'm a liberal democrat,served my country,support the 2nd amendment, I am for the death penalty. I have been voting since 1980 when I voted for Ronald Reagan. I changed parties when I realized that the Republican Party doesn't care about the working man. Every time we've had a republican president in office, they left the economy in shambles, they only care about themselves and their rich donors, and getting re-elected. Trump is the worst of the worst. He didn't even try to hide his agenda when he passed the tax bill that greatly benefited himself and his family. Republicans only care about the budget deficit when democrats are in office. But you know all of this and still choose to support them. Some people just can't be taught.

By building an entire campaign howling about how his opponent was a criminal. Recently, a man in a wheelchair told me something his grandfather told him as a little boy: "When someone spends so much time accusing the 'other' of doing something horrible, it's because they are guilty of doing the horrible thing." It's a deflection tactic. Deny and deny hard, and go a step further by accusing your opponent of doing whatever you did, because common people are going to be inclined to believe that nobody could be that stupid or dishonest. It's a technique that as a very long association with Soviet propaganda.

Then, YOU get to make up your own mind on what you know is going on. BUT.....you can't reach that unless you watch both sides & put the pieces together yourself. Please do so, and become enlightened beyond your dreams.

Historians also see what is going on, along with anyone who is not blind. Trump is sad when he thinks of all the people and institutions that tell him no all the time. No a parade is not a good idea, no a big nuke is a bad idea, no you can't put golden eagles all over the inside of the White House, no you can't give secrets to the Russians to cement your friendship with them, no no no no no! He hates that. He wants to say, and have it be so.
