A fascinating point of view. It really appears as if youâve thoroughly thought this through.
âToo defensiveâ?
Is that a nice way of saying the President is wetting himself with âDo Somethingâ? This is the part of the movie where the bully gets his comeuppance. Where the mask gets ripped off and we see the frightened little boy within.
Corker is right, of course. Trump is scarily unfit to be President. Portmanâs on the right track, but needs to brew a concoction a bit stronger than âtoo defensiveâ. Because honestly, Iâm just hoping we survive this Administration.
Trump isnât being âToo defensive," he is being [defensive] because he is guilty.
Itâs crazy to give credit to someone for stating whatâs clearly obvious. But with so many Republicans burying their heads in the sand regarding Russian interference in our election, I suppose Iâll give Portman some credit. I guess it means my expectations of Republicans are zero.
Portman said Russia interfered âlong before Donald Trump.â
âTheyâre going to do it long after Donald Trump, if we donât do something about it,â he said. âSo we need to get to the bottom of it. And we need to go where the facts lead us.â
Why does Senator Portman hate our President and country so much?
MAGA, MAGA!
No senator, we shouldnât âfocus on the outrageâ⌠we should focus on the means that brought this about and stop it from happening in the future.
As much as I dislike the mediocrity, Portman, unlike some of his colleagues, I doubt Robâs burdened by any âkompromatâ .
Trump has confused whining with winning.
Interesting point, and funny thread attached to it:
Dear Senator Portman,
To prevent Russia or any other foreign country from interfering in our elections, have you proposed any legislation, have you suggested that some agency take the lead, are you asking for an appropriation of adequate sums to do the work? Isnât that what legisltors are supposed to do, especially when the executive branch has gone missing (if it hasnât defected.)? Time to DO SIMETHING, as the President suggests, although not what he has in mind. Be a hero, Senator, do something good.
In an attempt to prevent more evidence of obstruction of justice, Trump attorney Ty Cobb is out today saying Trumpâs Sunday morning tweets are not, repeat not about the Mueller investigation or reported indictments. For instance, this one is most definitely not about the investigationâŚâInstead they look at phony Trump/Russia âcollusion,â which doesnât exist. The Dems are using this terrible (and bad for the country) Witch Hunt for evil politics, but the Râs are now fighting back like never before. There is so much GUILT by Democrats/Clinton, and now the facts are pouring out. DO SOMETHING!â Just throwing the terms âDems,â âpoliticsâ and âRâsâ in there does not make this something other than an attack on the investigation into the Trump/Russia collusion and its off-shoots.
Just be aware, as Iâm sure you already are, that if you say âHey, Republican So-and-so said something sane, and thatâs a good thing,â someone may pop up and say âBUT HE SAID AND DID SEVERAL BAD THINGS RECANT YOU HERETIC.â And you can say OK, no argument, but weâre not talking about the Kill the Puppies Act from four months ago, weâre talking about this thing he said today. And it wonât matter. Personally I think weâre going to see first the slightly less crazy and then more and more full-on crazies slowly acknowledge that this Trump craziness is just all too crazy even for them. Many will have said and done naughty things. But we should encourage them when theyâre less so. Call me crazy myself.
He thinks Trump is too defensive. I think heâs too offensive. All the time.
