Discussion: GOP Sen. Barrasso Shrugs: 'Not Surprised' Trump Was 'Doing International Business'

hey, he blatantly lied to his electorate? So what? His business interests are furthered at the expense of American interests abroad? So what? I’m a deeply moral honest guy, and these teensy little problems are those of the common folk.

He was in a hurry, so I am not surprised he ran that red light. It would be the 50th time he did so this year. He is a busy, international business man. He is always dealing with timelines and things like that. It is part of his project management skill set.

And If that other car had not seen fit to cross on a legal green, then he wouldn’t have been t-boned by Trump’s limo. So there, simple logic, no collusion.

Moron has taken the stigma out of lying. It used to be a sin to lie, now it’s like breathing in and out.

Shorter Senator Barasso: “I have no sense of ethics or personal morality. I elevate loyalty to party above country. I just don’t care that Trump lied about his business dealings with Russia and its influence over American policy.”

Spoken like a “taker.” Everybody knows that all contracts are legal by definition, and always fair to all parties, and the only reason bad things happen is when government parasites try to muck with that instead of earning a living with an honest day’s work.

People like you are the reason patriots like Charles Koch have to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to pay an army of propagandists and sleeper agents to save this country for the captains of industry who built it.

Yes indeed. In time, it will all be prove as fact. What I don’t get is that no one is mentioning he was doing “business” with a sanctioned bank. Why the hell not? And I know it would be meh for GOP, but how about stating it loudly, journalists?

Did they ask him about the Putin penthouse?

Because there are so many crimes, big and small, and massive amounts of lying, and a huge network of people and entities criming and lying in concert. It isn’t feasible to mention every infraction in every context. …This is just exhausting!

Moron’s mentor was Roy Cohn who taught moron everything he needed to know about how to bully people. That’s why we’ve heard him say “Where’s my Roy Cohn”, Roy Cohn, the homophobic gay man who cultivated a relationship with J. Edgar Hoover to get the dirt on his perceived enemies. (Cohn died of AIDS because he wouldn’t acknowledge he had it because it’d be an admission he was gay).

Yup. It’s probably why they fought it so aggressively.

Barrasso: “I’m not surprised, I knew he was doing crooked stuff and lying about it all along. I mean, it’s Donald Trump, you’d have to be an idiot not to realize he’s a crook.”

…and lying about it. Excuse me, but lying about it is some sort of offense is it not? Damn idiot!

So many used- car salesmen in one place, so many things involved in the 2016 campaign…

Donald Trump’s private company was “actively negotiating” a business deal in Moscow with a sanctioned Russian bank during the 2016 election campaign, according to a memo by Democratic lawmakers investigating possible collusion between the campaign and the Kremlin.

Unfortunately, that GOP Senator is gone. Senator John McCain would have been screaming to the High Heavens about this anti-American President!

Think about it, based on Barrso’s statement, it’s okay for a presidential candidate to pursue a financial deal with the sanctioned bank VTB Bank, in the exchange of giving Putin $50,000,000 penthouse of Trump Towers Moscow. And to ask for Putin’s help to assist in a victory!

Folks, no writer or producer could come close to writing out this script, other than those who participated.

Really senator?
