Trump’s defense of Russia prompts outrage from some Republicans

No way to know for sure but I estimate sometime in the first half of 2019.

I believe they will drag it out over his entire first term. It's the excuse the deep state traitors are using not to answer questions. "Ongoing investigation".

' “The president must appreciate that Russia is not our ally,” said Ryan, who is retiring at the end of his term. “There is no moral equivalence between the United States and Russia, which remains hostile to our most basic values and ideals. The United States must be focused on holding Russia accountable and putting an end to its vile attacks on democracy.” ' …

' Some of the most blistering criticism of Trump came from McCain, who has been absent from Congress since December as he undergoes treatment for brain cancer.

In a statement, the Arizona Republican said that Trump “proved not only unable, but unwilling to stand up to Putin” and that the two leaders “seemed to be speaking from the same script” at Monday’s news conference.

“The damage inflicted by President Trump’s naivete, egotism, false equivalence, and sympathy for autocrats is difficult to calculate. But it is clear that the summit in Helsinki was a tragic mistake,” McCain said. He added that “no prior president has ever abased himself more abjectly before a tyrant.” '

But we are allies with Saudi Arabia? Wonder which nation is the greater human rights violator.

The president is to defend the constituion, which obviously includes the form of government the constitution created. Our governmental election suffered the political equivalent of a 9/11 attack in 2016. Trump has refused to confront Putin about this and today went so far as to side with him against the United States government’s executive branch that he is the head of.
Why should Trump confront Putin about it? Obama openly and with taxpayer money meddle in the Israeli election. An unbiased mind would conclude meddling in foreign elections must be fine since we do it ourselves.

Would this “unbiased mind” also conclude that since the United States bombs other countries that it would be okay for another country to bomb the United States? I would totally disagree with such an “unbiased mind”.

So, the real reason the leftists are screaming like the pigs that they are is they don’t want Putin spilling their beans, like this:

Putin bombshell, ‘Business associates of Mr Browder have earned over 1.5 billion in Russia & never paid any taxes neither to Russia or the United States & yet the money escaped the country. They were transferred to the United States. They sent a huge amount of money, 400,000,000 as a contribution to the campaign of Hillary Clinton. Well this is their personal case. It might have been legal, the contribution itself but the way the money was earned was illegal. So we have to believe that some US intelligence officers accompanied & guided these transactions. So we have an interest in questioning them.’

It is a time for choosing. One can support the United States or one can support Trump. One cannot support both.

Trump should be impeached. He is not fulfilling his oath of office.

I don't think we should arm 4-year-olds with guns. I believe it's dangerous.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
As to your assannine comparison, acts of war require justification.

And as a Christian how do you arrive at that conclusion?
If you are going to wander off onto the "as a Christian" road, then turn the other cheek to Putin. Are we talking Church or the espianoge community?

Just curious as I have never heard a Christian say it is okay to steal in response to be be stolen upon. If you don’t want to explain your reasoning, well then, don’t.

I know plenty of good Christians, including myself, who have gone and taken their stuff back.
