I don't see any point in posting to me anymore. I asked several times and all you post are bumper sticker criticisms.
Very good points all, @bilo Emphatically, NO, I was hoping for a little more middle of the road here, no kissing, no cussing, so to speak. As I also, My friend.
It seems the media and the Rats want to turn a lack of criticizing of Putin into "treason". I thought Trump was surprisingly diplomatic. I do give him credit for not allowing the media to box him into a corner, especially with his responses about the missing DNC servers. All in all, I though it was a good press conference. If we can get greater cooperation from Russia it will also serve as a firewall to China/Russia cooperation.
Recall the handwritten letter Reagan sent to Leonid Brezhnev in April 1981, shortly after Reagan was shot, in which Reagan said:“When we met [at Nixon’s San Clemente home in 1973] I asked you if you were aware that the hopes and aspirations of millions and millions of people throughout the world were dependent on the decisions that would be reached in your meetings. You took my hand in both of yours and assured me that you were aware of that and that you were dedicated with all your heart and mind to fulfilling those hopes and dreams.“Is it possible that we have permitted ideology, political and economic philosophies, and governmental policies to keep us from considering the very real, everyday problems of our peoples? . . . Mr. President, should we not be concerned with eliminating the obstacles which prevent our people from achieving their most cherished goals? And isn’t it possible some of these obstacles are born of government objectives which have little to do with the real need and desires of our people?â€http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2018/07/trump-in-helsinki.php
If we're expecting a firewall between China and Russia, it's a bit late.https://www.newsweek.com/china-military-tells-russia-weve-come-support-you-against-us-870070
And yet he still after that referred to the Soviet Union as "The Evil Empire" made his infamous "we launched the missiles" comment before his Saturday address...told Gorby to "tear down this wall" and with the help of a very shrewd analyst at the CIA spent the Soviet Union into oblivion.Every chance he had he took the USSR to task over their totalitarian regime and it's brutal treatment of dissidents.He got up to walk away from the negotiating table when Gorby tried to change the deal they were working out in Iceland.At no time did he publicly throw the U.S. or anyone that worked in the Intelligence agencies of the U.S. under the bus...call them liars or blame the U.S. for the sad state of relations between the U.S. and the USSR.In short...he did and said everything Trump either couldn't or wouldn't say toady in public or in private.
I've seen a lot of people jumping into panic rooms today, and off cliffs. Knowing what I do about the press, I've been waiting to see what the actual facts are before I start building my bomb shelter.I refuse to be pushed by either side.
But, then I'm acrophobic.
As of this evening, John Kasich is running for president in 2020. He will be on CNN shortly. I will give him money and vote for him.
Please don’t. He thinks the role of government is to use taxation and function like a faith based charity.
@edpc I know him. Honest, Christian, balanced the US budget two times and it hasn't been balanced since he left congress.
@Victoria33, I love you, but Kasich is an power-hungry, egomaniacal nitwit.
2016 will vote for Hillary Clinton2020 Will vote for John Kasichas seen, and documented, at the "Conservative Hub"
But as Trump has shown with other world Dictators he won't do that...we already know this. He'll speak in glowing terms just like he did with Xi of China and Kim of North Korea.
