Senator Ben Sasse: Putin Leaves Helsinki With A Win


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1OXkAtKv08 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1OXkAtKv08)

When I watched this I got a very sick feeling.  Ben Sasse was spot on in this speech.  The other day I was ready to believe Donald Trump that our intelligence community has been waging a war on his Presidency.  But what he did in Helsinki should be a clear indicator of Trumps agenda.  He is undermining our intelligence agency. Leading us to have disregard for our intelligence community, and distrust that they are a failed.  Another divider in Chief and how good it would be for Putin if Americans were divided and distrusting of our law enforcement and intelligence agencies

Truly is a win for Putin.

"… I looked the man in the eye. I found him to be very straightforward and trustworthy."

Hint: It wasn't Trump that said that.

Brennan isn't President.  No question there are liberals in our CIA.  Its about the President.  Either he lied or he didn't, but you know he did.  So one thing has nothing to do with the other.

Brennan is on NBC screeching Treason, while it is he who should be investigated.

Allegedly, he has missed a lot of Senate sessions, at least, probably for the year, 2013... still, no Marco Rubio on that list.

But it's difficult to isolate one incident, no matter who the politician is. Rubio is a big "anti-communist" representing the area he does, he would not vote for someone who voted for Communist I would think... if in fact, he was there.

Actually, I'd pin the emboldened on any Republican and maybe they were not aware of this vote for Gus Hall. I've heard of him, I guess he ran way back in the 1970s or even the '80s.  Hall was CPUSA even when John F. Kennedy was president.

I see Ron Johnson, WI whom I think is usually a good conservative vote...there's that Kelly Ayotte name and Hatch too, hey, 81 voted for him.

Let me guess...........Bush.  And Trump looked him in the eye and knowing the truth lied about it in for the entire world to see.  Then he came home and admitted it.

Yes seriously.  A true Conservative.  This is not the first time I have posted about Ben Sasse and his opinion matters to me.  Furthermore he delivered a speech that was true.  Donald Trump has no idea what true means.

He is undermining our intelligence agency. Leading us to have disregard for our intelligence community, and distrust that they are a failed.


I wouldn't go that far.  He does seem to have this weird belief that fully backing the intel would make his 2016 win appear tainted.

Sasse made some very good points in his speech.  I have no idea if Russian involvement affected the vote.  I think people voted for Trump because they are tired of politicians.  Trump struck a cord on immigration.  I found his rhetoric unbelievable even though my biggest concern for this country is illegal immigration.

To me I am ready for this stuff to be done.  But what Trump did in Helsinki and following when he backpedaled was final straw for me.  I don't think he is fit for the job.  Maybe some people can overlook the embracing of dictators and the constant lying but I can't.

What did Trump do, that was any different than what W did with Putin in 2001?

Ben is about as Conservative as my lazy hobo cat. He makes a lot of noises and loves to hop on his high horse and preen for the the cameras, but I cannot find one tangible thing he has done to make the country a better place..... unless you think running your mouth in front of cameras and then playing with yourself in front of Communist filth on your off time worth while....

BTW you are aware that we have to deal in a friendly manner with the Taliban in Afghanistan because we need them to take a leadership roll. That's what a GD mess that GWB venture was.

Oh for goodness sakes Frank.  He isn't even paying any attention to Schumer.  If you want real outrage try Donald Trump honoring Hillary Clinton's presence at the Inauguration Lunch.  "Lock her up" was short lived.  Really short.  Just until he was elected.  I could post pictures of Donald Trump with Bill Clinton on the golf course.  Or pictures of Trump with the child rapist Jeffrey Epstein.  That guy doesn't keep his hands in his lap but in the laps of young girls.

That is a good picture though.  Ben looks disgusted with Schumer's presence.  Schumer is in a pee pee pose.  Looks like he needed to go to the restroom instead of out irritating the Conservative Senator.

Business is business, but what you do in your off time is telling. Trump making speeches and gestures are meaningless. Actions count. Sasse hanging with that creep isn't business.

BTW Sasse admitted he hangs with Schumer. He ran onto Becks program 5 seconds after that pic got viral to try and tamp it down. He admitted it with his own worthless mouth. Sasse a grade a loser and piece of shit. His state hates him so much for being worthless there is a possibility he will be Jeff Flaking at some point.

I am upping the ante.  Trump gives freely to characters like Wiener, Schumer and Rangle

Oh, I know it was just business.  Cozy up to those weasels when you need a favor.  Americans had it wrong.  He is a politician.  That is exactly the problem with politics.  Attitudes like Trump that anything can be had with the right contribution.

The link not only shows contributions but quotes by Trump why he gives.

There are clear instances in history that people have been promised a better economy if they would give up rights.  If they would follow the leader no matter how outrageous.  No matter what without descent, no question.  There are serious issues with Trump.  Ben Sasse did an excellent job of outlining the issues with the meeting in Helsinki.  Thank God we are the USA.  Sound minds have to prevail in the weakness of a President that finds strength in dictatorship.

Along with success comes failure. Having been to Trump Tower a few times over the years, that alone shuts the perpetual student and loser Sasse out of even being close to Donny in stature or importance.

BTW can you point to one thing Sasse has done to make anyone's life better? I can't find one act as Senator. I cannot find one business he created that either sold something or hired somebody. I cannot find shit about your boy toy loser that would make anyone give two shits about him if he got hit by a bus tomorrow.

How about this?  I am going to buy it.  It looks like it has helped lots of people.  Probably more so than fake "Art of the deal" which Trump hasn't been able to make any.
