Trump sides with Russia against FBI at Helsinki summit
www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-44852812
At a news conference after the summit, President Trump was asked if he believed his own intelligence agencies or the Russian president when it came to the allegations of meddling in the elections.
"President Putin says it's not Russia. I don't see any reason why it would be," he replied.
[...]
In a strongly-worded statement, US House Speaker Paul Ryan said Mr Trump "must appreciate that Russia is not our ally".

That's actually siding with, assisting and taking advice from an enemy.

Unlike Omar, who very obviously wasn't siding with terrorists.

Oh I'd forgotten, even the American photographers weren't allowed at the meeting – only the Russian one, Alexander Shcherbak.

The road to unfreedom lays it all out and we can see that Trump works for Putin but what will happen when the Western locomotive is driven off the rails?

PerkingFaintly · 15/04/2019 11:08

Yeah, I'd go with Trump has his strings pulled by Putin, rather than "works for". Cos Trump works for Trump – but is easy to manipulate.

Lweji · 15/04/2019 12:33

Fully agree with you PerkingFaintly.

I suspect he has some sort of quid pro quo, but he doesn't see it as a problem or working for Putin.

“I think that there’s nobody in the country who knows better that he should not be president of the United States than Donald Trump,” Pelosi said.

There' something odd about those Oval Office snaps. They make me edgy.

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 15/04/2019 16:41

They are laughing; he looks as if he hasn't got the joke but is trying to look as though he has.

'On the morning of Nov. 8, 1989, Barr came to Congress to testify before Rep. Edwards’ subcommittee. Some of the events that unfolded also bear a remarkable resemblance to Barr’s handling of the Mueller report to date.'

That will be interesting, if it doesn't take too long to obtain results.

Meanwhile, how about flying water tanks drown the WH?

So horrible to watch the massive fire at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. Perhaps flying water tankers could be used to put it out. Must act quickly!
