TrumPutinGate

I honestly feel like I live in some sort of Looney Tunes program.

That's because you are.

Meanwhile, on Earth II . . .

I thought Democrats were the ones who couldn't handle the fact that Clinton lost the election?

They still can't

Ian Bremmer was on Maddow tonight (who is still the only MSM journalist treating Donny-Russia with the attention it deserves), and he said that the two lovers were so sequestered from the rest of the attendants that no one could hear them.

Only Putin's translator present.

1 hour.

Discussing Crimea and the crisis in Ukraine, I'm sure.

O wow, they wanting to speak in private about important things? Conspiracy!

 

[Vol8188]

Honestly, I think the Trump administration is completely tone deaf. How they didn't realize this the moment it happened is astounding. Under investigation, and, regardless if there was any wrong doing or not, you decide to keep it secret that you met with Putin, without an American interpreter? Amidst Congressional hearings?

I said earlier I'm trying to give Trump the benefit of the doubt on this one, but Jesus. How did any one in his staff think this was a good idea?

Why do you need two interpreters? I don't see any reason this was a bad idea. The two need to keep open lines of communication to avoid a major disaster in Syria or the Ukraine. And meeting alone is probably helpful because they both try to present a very powerful persona and a no back down attitude. If it's one on one, they can drop the show and get to business

Where's all the concrete evidence? How long has this been going on.... how long ..... how long had this been going on?

 

[Vol8188]

As Jim Sciutto just said on CNN, the effect of this undisclosed meeting is that we don't know what was said.

Putin could say anything about it, and we wouldn't know.

Because we literally do not know. And Putin is just as trustworthy as our fartstain of a fake president.

Every president has meetings where you don't know what was said. It's been a long accepted fact of foreign policy.

It's the middle of the beginning of the end, so we have to be patient. Soon it will be the end of the beginning of the end.

I believe that having two interpreters is a sound protocol. I can see Trump being ignorant to this type of protocol, mainly because he hasn't and doesn't want to take the time learn the nuances of his job. He's a big picture guy. All that said, the media seems to be making more out of this than its worth.

Not sure why you'd need any.

I don't believe for a second that Putin doesn't speak English.

 

[lawgator1]

Tell you what, if you righties are on board, I'm willing to stipulate that both Clinton and Trump are disqualified from being President due to collusion with foreign powers.

Deal?

If they spoke the same language what would be the big deal?

No deal. Clinton is obviously disqualified to be a community organizer. Oh wait.

 

[ClearwaterVol]

Well obviously no interpreter is needed, but it still seems sound policy to have someone else in the room. Over the years, every time I have terminated an employee I would have someone else in the room. Protects me from any outlandish claims by the ex-employee.

 

[volprof]

The Saydi's donated to the Clinton foundation (fact). The Ukrainian's were approached about trying to get dirt on Trump (fact).

That's far more than anything we have on Russia.

No, no it is not.

But sounds like you should start a thread about it, if you believe this strongly in it.

 

[volprof]

Yet again more name calling. You don't see how you and Trump are one in the same? Come on Donald you are not this dense.

I think you have more of an issue with me than Donny.

Tell me, how do I affect your life?

I'm very suspicious of this meeting but I know nothing will ever be know about what was said. An hour is a long time. They obviously had some things to talk about that the rest of America didn't need to know. By not having someone else with him was in his best interest and not ours.

To me this signal that the investigation has destroyed the chain of communications.

 

[volprof]

How did he become a "reporter" on this?

I'm not sure. I know he typically follows major international summits though, so maybe he was in attendance.

 

[volprof]

Yes, every president has hour-long undisclosed meetings without an American interpreter with the foreign leader who attacked American democracy and got him elected.

Oh, wait, I forgot it was Seth Rich. This is all Seth Rich, so nevermind.

Probably discussing their plans for Krissy's voter fraud commission.

Judging from his tweets immediately afterwards, I think that's a very reasonable assumption.

Not at all. I laugh at both of you.

What do you have that's more than that? The Saudi's were one of Clinton's largest donors.

All you just was prove my point. That if not for your red scare tactics, there would be nothing wrong with this.
