What i am saying is that if you are going to believe this report, then you need to give the same credence to Obamas birth certificate, to Clintons peadophile ring, the dude in the car shot JFK, Hoover organised MLK's shooting and Ben Kennedy done 9/11.

Again, if thats your boogie then fine.



Now this one entertains me. So having a cordial relationship with another super power is a bad thing? Yep, sounds fair. You do realise that if he "talked tough" on Russia then everyone would be like "BHHUUUHHH TRUMP IS A COWBOY WAR MONGER MORON BHHHUUUHHH". you know, kind of like he's doing with Mexico and China.

Id bet good money that USA, Russia, China, Japan, Australia and Indonesia all engage in significant intelligence gathering by means that would be unethical. But (a Trump led) USA is now supposed to behave differently? Amazing that its an issue now, as opposed to ya know, 2 years ago.

and one more thing.

The twitter stuff. ummm, its Twitter. You go put your moral compass on it. Im good thanks. Hey man, at least his twitter feed is verified, which is better than all the other stuff you're tying your horse to.
Ah the Obama birth certificate - aka the "very credible" phone call that Trump received. I am at this stage unsure of the validity of the report, but excuse me for giving more credence to documents published by US intelligence services than a magical late night anonymous chat with the Don. As for him siding with Russia over US intelligence - just listen to his press conference today. He clearly believes that his own countries intelligence is less reliably than a statement from Putin.

The huge irony is when Comey announced the FBI was "reopening" their investigation into Clinton right before the election, they were sitting on this information about Trump. Gotta love the director of the FBI playing party politics...

Yes, it is bad when a President puts more faith in foreign entities than in his own nation's systems and intelligence.

His tweet refuting "fake news" aka CNN, Washington Post, New York Times - provides a link to lifezette to defend himself...a known fake news site.
