    I did hear his entire response. His response was an invitation to foreign governments to interfere in American elections.

    :roflol::roflol:Oh, you guys are so funny. Just can't get past the broken record of false narratives. Next you'll be posting more debunked videos of such things as Trump making fun of handicapped reporters.

    Trump trolled you guys like a pro. Now that he's gotten the MSM and the useful idiots calling him a traitor, he can now have Barr go after those responsible for actually buying dirt from a foreign government and those who attempted to. Unlike him making a rhetorical statement, we have Dems who actually did it. Let's see the spin machine get out of this.

    Is that what the country has sunk to? Is that what you celebrate? That the president trolls your political opponents?

    That's pathetic. What we should look for in a president is someone who tries to bring the country together. Who tries to bridge the divisions within the nation - not exacerbate them. All presidents going back to Carter have at least TRIED to do that - at times with varying degrees of success. But Dirty Donny doesn't, and all you care about is that he attacks the "other side". Shame on you.

    And, by the way, no Democrats did what he says he would do. He tried to do it, but apparently didn't get any dirt.

    When your political opponents are calling you every name in the book, they deserve to be trolled. When your political opponent get outraged over something you do but were perfectly fine with it under a different admin, they deserve to be trolled. By trolling Trump has exposed their hypocrisy , the Left is not interested in bringing the country together, they are doing everything in their power to separate us and keep us fighting each other. I would say the shame is on you but Lefties have no shame, no sense of honor, and feed on the hate inside them. He didn't try to do crap, even if Jr got caught up in an Obama ran sting and wanted to at least listen to what she had to say, he didn't actively reach out and pay a foreign power to find dirt, and that is exactly what the DNC did. Closing your eyes to the link I posted does not mean it didn't happen. Indictments are coming for your side and hopefully we will finally see justice and not the banana republic justice the Left has been pushing.

    No one was actually questioning “someone’s eligibility to hold the presidency”. Indeed, the FEC ruled on the issue in short order.

    But the right wing noise machine the the reactionary racist right wing of the GOP clung to it long after the issue was no longer legitimate.

    It was the favorite of crackpots like Louis Gohmert, Joe Arpaio and Donald Trump. All three were openly race baiting,and usuing a phony and clearly racist meme to do it.

    But birtherism had run its course. But angry white racisim is alive and well, featured every day here on this forum.

    Mexicans are an easy target.

    They can’t vote.

    They can’t fight back,.

    They’re easy to scare the Fox crowd with the usual stereotypes about how immigrants are dirty, and criminal.

    They said the same thing about my great grandfather when he got off the boat from Ireland.

    They called themselves “no nothings” then, and that’s who they are now (deliberately so, too).

    If I was President Trump, I would continue to do these interviews with the media. But I would make them sign a contract that stipulated huge dollar figures to be donated to the government if portions leak before broadcast!

    This would prevent others from dictating the message and meaning and not allowing our President to do so.

    President Trump declared that he would accept Russia’s help on a campaign if it were offered again, saying it would be no different than meeting with the queen of England. Republicans joined Democrats in condemning his willingness to collaborate with a hostile foreign power.
    Anyone in a position of power and influence such as the President of The United States making such a comparison demostrates not only a staggering ignorance but a dangerous amorality. This man would allow Satan to whisper in his ear if he thought it would advance his personal interest. How after this Republicans can continue to support this amoral fool is staggering.
    As I side issue I wonder how Queen Elisabeth will react when she learns a meeting with her is no different from accepting Russia’s help on a campaign.Times like this I feel as if I’m reading a badly written novel.

    What Trump did was expose the glaring hypocrisy of the left. The left wing media conveniently takes it out of context but Trump still wins. Again.

    Is Schiff in chains yet? He took a call from "Russians" and wanted damaging information even going as far as asking if Putin knew....

    Top dems should be calling for his head..

    Instead of a hypothetical phone call that might end up with a call to the FBI you have a Presidental candidate PAYING for a foreign agent to collect data.. By the Dems own words last night there are plenty of traitors and they have nothing to do with Trump.

    Sorry, but in this country, we have something called the First Amendment.

    Seeing as you are unfamiliar with the Consititution. I thought I would point that out.

    Baseless (and discredited) claims from a right wing trash blog don’t make an argument, unless the objective is to justify treason.

    Which is where Trumpster are now. Trying to justify their strong support for a President who openly welcomes being in the pocket of a foreign power.

    LOL, of course ignore all the interactions of democrats with foreign powers trying to affect American elections and in Hillary's case, paying for Russian dirt. It's the democrat way.

    "They paid a private detective named Steele"

    A foreigner. Doesnt matter what his name is.

    "investigate Trump using legal channels."

    Which is where he got his golden showers info from... totally legal channels.

    Quit trying to spin it. The Clinton campaign paid a foreigner for dirt, fake dirt actually, and then published it before verifying if any of it was true.

    Then used the same bullshit to open up an investigation.

    **** off.

    First off, you are selling out your country by accepting damaging information from a foreign government against an American.

    But second, if you can find me a foreign government that wants to provide you information on your political opponent for free and I will show you a bridge for sale in Alaska. That is the definition of selling out.

    So any democrat candidate that listens to a foreign official about a possible problem with one of Trump's businesses in their country would be breaking the law. Do I have that right?

    Let me know when you have a comment about the topic of this thread instead of trying to trot out more gaslighting, strawman, whataboutisms.

    No, the DNC (and the RNC) hired an American firm to conduct opposition research. At no point did the DNC hire a foreign individual or intentionally obtain information from someone representing a foreign government to provide political dirt on their opponent.

    Now focus on the topic of this thread.

    Proving once again that sometimes a word to the wise is not enough.

    "Stephanopoulos is vague—“if foreigners, if Russia, if China”—and Trump merely talks about “somebody” calling from a foreign country. ABC News itself was more careful than the rest of the media; in their teaser for the interview they reported that Trump said he wouldn’t go to the FBI if “foreign figures” approached him with information.

    So be careful with the “Trump admits he’d take oppo from foreign governments” stuff. It just gives Trump a huge opening to yell “FAKE NEWS!” and claim that he never said any such thing."
