Breaking News Trump Says He Accepts Intelligence Conclusion That Russia Meddled in 2016 Election

[Concerned]

I'm curious how Trump will purge his interview with Hannity last night.

Yes, it seems as though had this been a geniune misspeak, the time to correct it would have been immediately afterwards on a friendly news outlet like Hannity.  Of course, if it is simply being characterized as a misspeak after hearing hours of negative press coverage, it might not have been able to be "corrected" until this afternoon.

   BS, he needs a shock collar attached to his teleprompter that activates when he goes off script.

Why?  Because you have been conditioned to expect the following of scripts from our leaders?   I think it's time for that stuff to end!

[To-Whose-Benefit?]

You're right about the Sino-Soviet axis, but there are other avenues, not just a binary option.

BTW, Slava, uh, I mean, Moskva, wouldn't last long against a carrier battle group.  Sure, I have a very healthy respect for Russian missiles, but come on . . .

Wouldn't matter who scored the 1st hit.

Remember what ensued from Fort Sumter.

   Hannity definitely needs to be demoted as one of his top policy advisors. The 'correction' today proves what a CF that interview was last night.

   Either of these two 'entertainers' would be better than Hannity in that time slot.

   I'm implying @Bigun that 89.6% (pulled out of my azz #) of the time he goes 'off script' he manages to step on his dick.  He creates half the drama he's always whining about.  I know it's a low bar to clear after clinton and obummer but I want to expect more from my President, especially a Republican.

   I know the Trumpers love the 'Fighter' persona he has projected for 3+ years, I kinda like the Entertainer shit, we all have a reason to be here discussing this stuff.

But, Hannity said he was so strong at the summit.  Once someone is thousands of miles away, he's all kinds of brave.  See Comey, Tillerson, and Putin as examples.

You're a good man and a fighter yourself, Bigun. And of course you're right.

Thanks for hangin in there.

   Is Hannity implying that Trump was flaccid at the beginning of the Summit?

@Suppressed

Netanyahu is a fan of both Trump and Putin, over Vlad's position of strengthening Israel's border with Syria.
https://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/Netanyahu-uploads-clip-of-Trump-saying-Putin-is-Bibi-fan-562747

"Netanyahu, in the recording, stressed the Iranian regime, and not the Iranian “people,” saying “we have nothing against them.”
When someone in the audience shouted that the regime will disappear, Netanyahu replied: “From your mouth to God’s ears.”

If Trump pulls this off we may get a deal of Help from Putin suppressing Islamist Fundamentalism. All the Mullahocracy needs is a good, swift shove and over it goes.

I'd rather have Vlad see it our way than see us over a gun barrel in some ridiculously expensive game of Junk Yard Dog in the middle east.

Allowing anyone in that region except Israel to have nukes is no more in Russia's interest than it is our's.

I now realize my divorce could have been made far easier if I had merely explained that I had meant to say “I do..... not.”

In other words you let how the press reacts determine how you react.  You are far from alone in doing so.   In fact,   I would say you are in the majority.

   NO @Bigun The press does not dictate how I think about these things.  I was and remain very studied of the Man.
   I frequent about 10 sites on the interwebz, including here, all my news originates from the Conservative Right, no TV, and most of my sources still give Trump the benefit of the doubt, as do I. 

   In spite of my snipping at his ankles all the time, the Trumpers I know here are stronger than to allow my BS to get under their skin, usually.

Trump makes Obama look like an absolute statesman in comparison.

Unreal the absolute chaos this guy generates when truth is whatever spews out of his mouth at any given moment.

I'm not alone in the assessment.

Look who you elevate to demean the President.   Here is your "absolute statesman".... @INVAR

[Chosen Daughter]

   A few here wonder why some of us can't take him serious.

Yes, I just watched the entire press conference and questions to both Putin and Trump and thought I don't know what people are upset about.  He sounded very sure that there was no collusion.  He talked about the server and the servers.  Where are they?  I would have said this is a witch hunt.  What happened?

This is incredible.  From the time I came home and listened to the time I got back to TBR the story changes.  And BTW I want to know about the money that went to Hillary's campaign.  But just like Trump always does he has reversed himself in a bigly way. 

This is for Trump

Don't waste time with unintelligible memes. You should have posted Obama's Estonia speech.....which was unintelligible and a train wreck 10 times worse than this Putin conference, but coming right from his Communist lips.

From the bunch that denigrate Reagan regularly to insist Trump is light years ahead of him in principles and Conservatism - I find your selective outrage more than amusing.

As we warned you people, Trump is only about himself and his own ego.  It is why Trump is all over the map on every subject on every side and can barely make cogent sense nearly every time I've seen him speak.  He lies when he has no need to lie.  He changes his mind as though what he said 18 hours earlier never happened.  He denies charges one moment, and confirms accusations the next and then pretends he never said what he said yesterday while changing policy as often as my grandkids' diapers.

Obama was sinister in his intentions, but he could pass himself off as competent and speak to his base in absurd lingo that motivated his ideology among them and pull off his pretense that he was magnanimous and fair in his divisive poisons spewed in speeches and positions.

Trump has no such skills and his policy positions and statements change more frequently than wind direction in a canyon.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Just an observation and friendly warning @INVAR ... if you're reaching for Barak Obama to prove your point against President Trump, your hate for him is beginning to consume all logic, reason and principle.

[Silver Pines]

Lol, season 2 of the Trump show is pretty hilarious. 

[INVAR]

Just an observation and friendly warning @INVAR

Or what?  You'll berate me with more emojis and passive-aggressive commentary?   You make me laugh.

... if you're reaching for Barak Obama to prove your point against President Trump, your hate for him is beginning to consume all logic, reason and principle.

I'll stand by what I said - in comparison to Trump's hourly change in positions and his continuous congenital lying bullshit every time he speaks, Trump makes Obama look like a statesman in comparison. 

Which is an insulting observation - as intended.

[Right_in_Virginia]

I'll stand by what I said -

As do I.

I have to go back to first assessment of Trump.  Narcissistic, mentally unstable.  Should never be allowed to make foreign affairs decisions or talk to heads of states.

   Even if I believed that BS about hiring only the best people it makes no difference because he won't listen to them.
