International Trump/Putin Summit

[LangfordBarrow]

The expectation people had was stupid. Did you really believe Putin was coming to a press conference to be admonished by Trump? Did you really think that's what this Helsinki summit was for?

I'm not really sure why Trump pushed for this meeting against advice. You'd hope he would have firmly stood up to him regarding the election tampering but instead he just whitewashed it and continued with his conspiracy theories. You being a fan of his what do you think this meeting accomplished?

Well rambling/arguing about gay pictures is a good example. I'm not going to go all the way back through that nonsensical bullcrap.
Just keep it roughly together, gents.

Haha. Roughly. Haha.

There's a joke to be made somewhere in there.

Funny memes aside, this entire thing is so surreal to me. Honestly, I think this is the worst Trump has looked since becoming president. This was just an overall terrible move on his part.

Where are the stupid pictures you promised? You promised stupid pictures and all I got was stupid words. I recognize this strategy from Trump University.

He typed in gay pride and got "distracted"

He said he asked him about the election meddling and he denied it. Whats his next move? Ask him if he's sure? If he pinky promises?

Poor choice of words. Obama LITERALLY bowed down to foreign leaders...

Better a bow than a Curtsey any day.

He must have had a lot of straws if it took until today to hit the final one.

I'm using this for a bit. Quality post.

"Now when it comes to cocaine.. I've had a lot of straws in my day.. and since no one told me that coke is sometimes cut with cocaine. "ruining a comedy show" was my last straw"

Something like that.

Putin promised to denuclearize and return the corpses of American soldiers who died in Russia (very important after their mothers begged Trump to get them back).

What do you think it was for?

 

[Seano]

People call me Seano IRL and it's unfortunate that someone with that name on Sherdog is such an incorrigible dum dum. That didn't require much cleverness or edginess.

You spelled Homerthompson wrong.

As for what he should have said - something that wasn't completely obsequious would have been nice.

As I said to someone else, he says he asked Putin about it and the guy denied it. This isn't a Harrison Ford movie, it was a diplomatic meeting. There's not much more he could do man to man.

What happened today is exactly what a strong leader does: ignore the evidence, ask if they meddled and then stand there stupidly when they deny it.

Good thing he's not weak like Obama.

No, but state firmly that there will be greater repercussions if they continue, not state that his word is as good as our intelligence agencies'. This is really something that he should have made a priority from day one but by all accounts has ignored. Is it just that he doesn't want to delegitimize his election, or since they've been interfering to benefit Republicans it doesn't matter to him. It's not necessarily due to a pee tape or actual collusion but he did not represent our country well today.

This is super obvious if you just listen to the speculation. It sounds far fetched but the guy is compromised, and thus, he didn't push for anything, Putin did.

The question now is what happens to Walsh and other conservatives who are speaking out (and I mean really speaking out, not whatever the hell Paul Ryan does every time Trump outdoes himself). Previously they have all been cannibalized by the cult.

Classic Seano: has no idea what politics is or when it's useful, but suspects there are some situations that should not be settled with punches. Too bad no one ever discovered an alternative to punching.

Homer's cool as fuck. Don't blasphemy.

He could have confronted him with some of the evidence. Fox News with Chris Wallace showed more fortitude than Trump.

Trump has proven that he’s abjectly dishonest, even by politician’s standards. It would’ve been nice if he’d tweeted some invective like he does with America’s allies.
