For a party that tried to convince everyone that Obama "didn't love America", they sure do seem to look the other way when the republican president bashes US intelligence on foreign soil and calls meeting Putin an honor.

Unelected and unqualified. What a disgrace this administration is.

I am wrong to think if I had my choice of Trumps at that table, Ivanka would be who I would choose? Definetly unqualified, but so is POTUS.

It's like a bad lifetime movie.

Why are we partnering on Cyber security with the country that our own intelligence community firmly believes interfered with our elections?

 

Why is an entire political party okay with this?

It's like a bad lifetime movie.

I don't know. At least a Lifetime movie might let me see what Jennie Garth or Alyssa Milano look like now. This administration only give me Scott Baio.

Oh

It'll be interesting to see who the first Republican senator will be to express "concern" and call the report "troubling" before proceeding to do nothing about it.

People high up in Trump's campaign including his own son and son in law were willing to collude with Kremlin-linked Russians in order to obtain damaging info on their political opponent. This should matter, but...

The message has fully changed from "there was no collusion" to "everybody does it, it isn't illegal"

The whole family is incredibly stupid. A very dumb mafia like family.

I cant believe Donnie Jr just admitted to that. What a moron. Now everyone knows whats been reported about this is true and that the entire family and party has been lying.

Now now, don't associate mafia with dumb. The Trumps just operate as they are above the law. It's not that surprising really.

fun flashback

Trump literally tweeted out information they got from the meeting right after it happened.

How is this not just it? How is this not the straw that breaks the back?

It never will be it. The whole argument of modern politics isn't right versus wrong, it is me versus you. It is getting the one up on social media. It is getting the soundbyte for the masses to repost. It is getting someone to post all of the links supporting your guy and opposing the other. What that does it mean that the actual substance of what is happening is secondary to winning. With the adversarial political environment of today, this won't matter either, just like nothing else has mattered since oh, Nixon?

Would Clinton have been impeached if the economy was tanking instead of skyrocketing in the late 90's?

 

Censure seems the most likely compromise. Everything is now about scoring political points, regardless of the consequences...

In a universe where Republicans weren't able to do *anything* without paying any consequences, this story would be a fairly big deal.

I've seen a lot of comments about how terrible this is, but is there an actual criminal statute that's cited somewhere? Is there something we're basing the criminal aspect on?

Especially since we know Gary Hart was negotiating nuclear arms with the Soviets in the 80's as a Presidential candidate, and nothing came of it.
