Discussion: Trump: I Was 'Being Sarcastic' About Asking Russia To Find Clinton's Emails

I confess that it is rare in nature to see a pure assholeā€“undiluted by compassion, intelligence, or humanity. Perhaps a future zoo exhibit?

There are no missing e-mails. FBI director James Comey said they where able to recover everything Clintonā€™s lawyers deleted. Trump is not only reckless,he is clueless.

How about that? The asshat realized he touched a third rail. Now itā€™s ā€œduck and coverā€ time.

Trump is already on defense. And itā€™s still only July.

Is he really on defense? Iā€™d say the polls show otherwise.
He never says the same thing two days in a row.
In a few days weā€™ll have an idea whether a naked appeal for treason hurts him in the polls.

Ryanā€™s ā€œresponseā€ is a disgrace. Heā€™s supposed to be legit; he isnā€™t.

Heā€™s more dangerous than obvious Trump.

Whenever a candidate is forced into saying, ā€œWhat I meant wasā€¦,ā€ heā€™s on defense.

He reminds me of a guy I once knew who threatened to kill me for some stupid reason, and after I called the police they told me he claimed he was ā€œjust kidding.ā€

Coming up with dumb excuses to cover ridiculous threats is a sign of mental illness IMO.

Dear TPM,
Why do I see the orange snarly blob every time I open your site?
Enough already.

Itā€™s also typical of people in organized crime.

This is what pure incompetence, and narcissism looks like.

Trump honestly thinks heā€™s in the driver seatā€¦ And that Putin respects his puppetsā€¦

Trump is a textbook example of NPD. The problem is that low-information voters see it as ā€œconfidence.ā€

I think weā€™re becoming numb to the unreality of this all, and thatā€™s highly dangerous. We are witnessing the normalization of the unthinkable, the equivalization of the outrageous. And these execrances from Trump, while malodorous, are presented as shiny bits ā€“ just the right size, each inconsistent one ā€“ for the kittens of our paper tiger press corps to be dazzled by, one and then the next and then the next. Whatā€™s the line, oh, yeah: Sad!

ā€œIā€™m not going to tell you what Iā€™d do. Why would I tell you a thing like that? Wouldnā€™t that be crazy to tell you what Iā€™d do? You react at the time,ā€ Trump said. ā€œPart of the problem with this country is they go and they say, ā€˜Weā€™re going to do this, weā€™re going to attack here, weā€™re going to send this many men.ā€™ No, no. You got to keep it a little bit secret.ā€

I find it disturbing that heā€™s doubling down on ā€˜I like to mix it up so that people wonā€™t know what to expect from me (and so I can bluff my way through questions like this without giving an answer).ā€™ Weā€™re not North Korea or Uganda. Weā€™re the United States. There shoujld be clear lines on if someone does something wrong, they will face consequences.

You canā€™t be a super power and claim unpredictability as your major foreign policy.

ā€œYeah, yeah, yeah. Thatā€™s the ticket. I was being sarcastic.ā€ Wasnā€™t this a character on SNL?

Sorry, you turd in the American punchbowl, you canā€™t take it back.

No you werenā€™t being sarcastic and all of your follow-up on how great Putin is just proves it.

And Don? Itā€™s not weird to tell people what you would do in HYPOTHETICAL situations. This isnā€™t some fucking board game.
