It has been explained to me here that the reason Trump's fans are fine with what he did at the press conference with Putin is because they feel our intelligence apparatus is corrupt and treasonous.
Well, holy shit. At least we have an explanation for what Trump did.
It would actually make sense. Trump gets info on his "base" directly from Hannity, who (along with Levin and Limbaugh and the internet) plants this stuff in their heads. Since playing to his base is his top priority, Trump then acts accordingly. He knows his base is convinced that everyone is out to get them, so he says what he needs to say.
That's good to know. I guess.
.
Assuming facts not in evidence, and again his response was to a loaded question that basically said he won the election BECAUSE of the Russian "meddling"
Trump said what he said. If we can't expect our President to be responsible for his words, particularly when a dangerous adversary is standing right next to him, we're in real trouble.
.
And when every time he says something the left gets the ******* vapors and calls him a traitor, why are we supposed to care the 500th time around?
Crying wolf over and over is not a strategy, it's political masturbation.
And he hasn't backed down from his words, and so far the world hasn't ended. So whats the end result? Some hurt feeeewings in the intelligence community?
They are professionals, let the ******* deal with it. And if they really are trying to get rid of him via a soft coup, then they deserve to be called out.
Our bureaucracy is supposed to be apolitical, and it is not. It has been captured by the supporters of big government.
