Trump is strongly denying US intel that says Russia interfered with our election. Such BS. What a traitor he is. Putin has him over a barrel. How do you Trumpers defend this behavior?
What this press conference showed is that Trump knows that Mueller has the goods on him and the only way he can save himself is to throw the entire country under the bus. It is plain as day.
He could have pulled down Putin's pants and fellated him right there at the podium and conservatives would still proudly proclaim, "That's MY President. So good to have REAL leader in charge for a change!"

And remember one of the right’s favorite name for Obama was apologist in chief. Now we have a spineless traitor in chief and they don’t mind.

LOL! Yup, you nailed it. Somehow Fox News will spin this in a way so that Trumpers will somehow see something positive in this meeting for US interests. But, Trump just publicly—on the world stage—sided with a foreign country that has been hostile to the US over his own intelligence community. Truly surreal.

It's a shame. Clearly inappropriate and criminal behavior and Trumpers continue to support him. Beyond insane.
I think today may be the worst day in Trump's presidency.
And that's saying a lot for a guy who had to retract a policy of separating children from their families.

I think both scenarios are possible but it’s more likely Putin will lie and say they didn’t intervene in our elections. Trump is unable to separate his ego from the election so I don’t think he’s eager to acknowledge what everyone else (except his mentally deficient base) knows—that the Russians tried bigly to sway the election away from Clinton.
It’s impossible to say with any certainty whether the Russians efforts where the difference in the election but this is a subtle point that requires critical thinking skills that Trump lacks. So, he simply reacts with emotion in the face of overwhelming evidence that Russia was meddling in our internal affairs—because if that were true in his mind it might mean he didn’t actually win legitimately. The mere suggestion of that causes such cognitive dissonance in Trumps pea brain that his head might actually explode.
But, Maskirovka, your point is well taken. IF the scenario you described played out Trump’s base would eat it up and not second guess anything Trump & Putin agreed to. They would also LOVE to blame Obama and Clinton for, well, any problem in the world—that is, after all, the only real reason they support Trump. It matters not if Trump’s policies and actions hurt the country or even them personally. All that matters is that Trump is sticking to the BUTTHURT libs and is making them mad. It’s really the most well thought out political position in modern US history!
WINNING!
Rand Paul out early with the GOP talking points ahead of the Trump-Putin summit....calls Special Prosecutors Russia Investigation a “witch hunt”, in regards to Russian election meddling he says, “We do it to....”.
https://www.cnn.com/2018/07/15/politics/rand-paul-russia-cnntv/index.htmlI think you guys are on the right track. I doubt Russia / Putin would admit to the 2016 Election meddling but that won’t stop him from some “whataboutism” with Trump regarding past US actions. Trump will eat that $hit up too because he can easily just blame the prior administration.
BTW, what the hell happened to Rand Paul? I used to kinda like the guy now he seems to have lost his mind.
Why we don’t have the details of the private meeting (and likely never will) the good Dr. Noisewater nailed this. Trump was already blaming the US before he met with Putin saying the US had been “foolish” in prior actions.
Within the next 24-48 hours expect Trump to claim victory and move to kill the special counsel’s investigation.
Something important just happened that needs to be pointed out regarding the Papa Johns n-word firing.
Apparently he said it while talking to his PR firm, which was hired to help the company avoid these kinds of controversies. The context was that they were talking about words that can never be said and Papa John got irritated and said something like ~"Well the colonel can call people n-words, and no one cares."
So it appears that Papa John wasn't smearing any blacks. He seems to think that KFC gets away with smearing blacks and that there's some kind of unfairness about in the market about it. No matter what the context, the conversation should have been confidential.
Of course this is bad news for Papa John and his pizza franchise, but in the long term it's good news for the battle against race hustlers because companies will NOT want to hire PR firms to help them fight the PC police if the PR firms themselves turn on the companies that hire them. This should help drain some money away from the thought police.
I've been away for a while, just curious after today's sh*t show if Trumpers are still defending the traitor-in-chief?
As John Schindler tweeted today, "This is simply the most dishonest and shameful public performance in the history of the US Presidency."

Their stock price increased 13% the day after he was forced out and it's still up. He was bad for publicity and the board has been trying to can him since last Fall when it became obvious he couldn't keep his political opinions quite and focus on running a business. The only people who think he was actually fired because he said the n word are Twitter warriors in Portland and apparently you.

Ah, so you think it was an inside hit job. That makes more sense. Still, it should really make anyone pause before bringing in a PR firm to handle this stuff knowing that someone on the inside might use anything you say in private to run you out of the company. It's a bad day for the race hustling business.

OK. So there's so much outrage on the left that I'm not sure what everyone is upset about. What is it this time?

the question is why the right is not outraged.
but what happened today? the president of the united states just sided with Putin and the Russian military over the US intelligence community.
But yeah, the lefties are all freaking out unneccesarily. got it.
US president holds a secret, two-hour, one-on-one meeting with the leader of a foreign adversary that interfered in American elections on his behalf and continues to engage America in cyber warfare. U.S. president goes on to deny the possibility that said foreign adversary ever did anything improper, essentially calls the people who work for American intelligence agencies liars, and blames his own country for current bad relations. When questioned, the leader of the foreign adversary doesn't do a very good job of denying he has compromising material on the U.S. President.
And DiscoGary thinks the important issue of the day is that the Papa John's pizza guy isn't actually as big of a racist as he's being made out to be.
Is the narrative starting to change?
I’m starting to see terms like ‘dereliction of duty’ and even ‘treason’ surface more and more in the narrative with respect to the current occupant of the White House as well as the GOP.
But will this blow over with the next outrage or stick? My sense is that fatigue is setting in and people are both wary and weary of what’s happening and there is an ominous sense that something very wrong happened in the 2016 election cycle.

I'm not sure I agree that he needed to lose his position over this, but it was not as innocuous a thing as you make it out to be.
1) First of all, Colonel Sanders has been dead since 1980. KFC isn't "getting away" with anything.
2) Schnatter referred to black people as "blacks" as you just did and then also used the n-word. Yes, he was saying that Colonel Sanders used to call black people that, but so what? He was trying to minimize the use of not only that word but also the denigrating of people based on their skin color.
3) Being racist and saying and doing racist things is not something that should be termed "getting away with" as if it is desirable to do those things. A kid might "get away with" taking an extra cookie from a cookie jar. Racist behavior is shameful and should never be thought of as "getting away with it".
A long stare in a mirror and a discussion with yourself is probably in order.

Conservative here. The only difference between Trump and other politicians is that when he lies, he makes no serious effort to hide it. Unlike Obama, who could somehow make 3/8 of the country believe it was a good idea to give billions of dollars to a corrupt dictator. Or make people believe that Benghazi was caused by some youtube video. We all support liars if they're in our party. Fact of the matter is, I'll take a liar who creates jobs and strengthens security than a liar whose only experience was a community organizer. Nobody lied more than that fraud Barrack Hussein Obama.
There is a certain level of lying that is a given for a politician. Donald Trump is WAY beyond that, and there is not equivalency with him and any politician. Fact checkers do not support your view that Obama lied more than anyone...not even close. Trump is closing in on 4000 since he took office. Obama had 18 confirmed lies in 8 years. What if those 18 are really just a tenth of what he really told? Ok...180 for Obama in 8 years vs. almost 4000 in less than a year and a half for Trump.
Also, stuff Trump is lying about is big time serious...AND not so serious as he lies about all things big and small.
Mueller is coming.
The clown is done.
Hey Flagpole,
Mueller isn't coming, and if you had half a brain in that head of yours, you'd realize that the only path to Democrats winning elections is to get some kind of message and platform. The biggest lie being told right now is that Donald Trump colluded with Russians. If you did ANY research whatsoever you would know that. How many times does Rod Rosentein and Muller have to say that the president isn't under investigation for you numbskulls to figure it out? The economy is soaring, immigration is being fixed, and better trade deals are being negotiated. I can only assume you are employed, which would mean your taxes are lower. Why in the hell any of this seems bad to you is beyond me. Feel free to fantasize about impeachment for made up offenses, just don't expect to win any elections this way.
FYI, it isn't just conservatives saying this phony investigation needs to end. There are plenty of OP-EDS in the NY Times, Washington Post ect saying the exact same thing.
My company is wildly succeeding because of this Republican economy, and everyone I work with is doing well. Trump isn't ruining the country, as much as you sycophants wish that he were. Get ready for that red wave, bub.
Also, just to be clear, I am not saying that Russians did not try to interfere in our elections. They did. But they have been. Like, since the 70's. Democrats suddenly only care about it when they can use it. Donald Trump is not under federal investigation. This is public knowledge..
Mueller isn't coming.
And the clowns know it.

Yep. He's a weak leader. He's a compromised leader. He's a malevolent fool.
The MSM says Trump is weak on Russia when in reality it's the media being weak on the truth.
Trump:
Armed the citizens of Ukraine
Closed consulates
Refuses to acknowledge Putin’s annexation of Crimea
Enacted air strikes (twice) in Syria against Russia’s threats
200+ Russians died in Syria because of those airstrikes
If the Democrats were truly concerned about Russia why did:
Obama promise more “flexibility” after the election?
Obama do nothing after the DNC was hacked?
Obama mock Romney for calling Russia an enemy?
Mueller never
