It's not treason if the people in charge say they are our friends.

imagine he and GOP are close to restarting the clinton investigations. They've been saving that one. The media will turn back to that instantly like they did in the campaign.

also trump may be aware he can just pardon everyone and then what...

A fun reminder that when Kushner's dad got in trouble he screwed his brother in law.

16 people believed dead in military plane crash in Mississippi

You don't have to play along though. Trump had proven this by denying climate change and Obama's birth certificate, calling Mexicans rapists, saying McCain is not a war hero because he got caught, Access Hollywood tape, 12 women accusing him of sexual assault, and winning the ****ing nomination. What exactly does Trump need to do before she can dodge that question for political gain?

Yeah, that's a good point. I actually thought Trump was gonna insult her for his answer, but he played it straight.

But imagine the run on fainting couches in red states if Hillary went after him.

Doubtful. So far his admin hasn't commented on many military deaths. This was an accident so they may say something oppose to soldiers killed overseas.

I guess it will be up to fox and friends, but I doubt that is the direction he goes.

Expect words like fake news, cnn, hoax, Clinton, Sanders, dnc server.

Later in the day, someone with half a brain will try to move towards something like the crash or healthcare, but that won't happen before donnie gets his coffee and tweets.

Huckabeast at gaggle today: Donnie Jr. had no idea whether or not the Russian gov't was behind the info or not therefore it was just some random Russian.

NYTimes: The email said the russian gov't had info to give.

If I got caught in some **** this deep I'd be ****ed. One time dealer.

No answer changes the minds of either rabid Trump supporters or rabid HRC supporters. A safe answer changes no minds anywhere on the spectrum. But I think there's a small chance a snarky answer turns off some undecideds or HRC-leaning repubs who can't stand Trumps crassness. Her whole campaign was run on a "I'm the adult in the room" message. She can't afford to give ammo to the "they're both the same" chorus of morons.

Obviously in hindsight it didn't matter; white women found a reason to pull the lever for Trump and they have the "Trump can grab my pussy" T-shirts to prove it.

I am looking forward to hearing more about the retention & security standards for email in the Trump campaign. Some critical emails disappearing without a trace would be perfection.

fly's response that "saying something nice" is some meaningless bull**** was pretty much the best line to take imo

Clinton bleached her emails. Trump will spray tan his.

Nah. That was a question by an audience member iirc. Fly's answer would have been seen as rude to the audience member and reinforced Hillary's cold, elitist ***** stereotype.

Obviously, that is the RIGHT answer, morally, but politically it would have been a failure. I think a good goal for the Democratic party would be to reach a point where rejecting that question feels right and natural. Take a strong turn away from that Ossoff style "work across the aisle" garbage and treat governance like serious work with right and wrong answers, where the wrong answers can destroy lives.

watching fox right now and it is hilarious

literally blaming obama for letting the russian lawyer into the united states and asking if this was all a set up by the DNC and we need to figure out if the fbi, cia, etc was involved

would be funny if it wasnt being blasted into the homes of tens of millions of moron olds who vote 100% of the time

This showed up in my feed and gave me a chuckle.

Why Trump got an 11 out of 10 at the G20

Opinion piece written by Jeffrey Lord. That's about all that needs to be said. He is truly an idiot.

That's a pretty interesting theory. Trump being a traitor would explain all of his crazy ideas, actions, and doublespeak. It's either that or he is an incompetent moron. Anyone vote for both?

Don Jr being nicknamed Diaper Don is awkward, we need that nickname available for when the pee tape drops.

well outside of russia, the rest is just from his personality. That personality loves to get people fighting each other for no good ****ing reason.
