So since he’s now saying that election hacking DID occur, no problems with the Mueller investigation, right, imbecile?

Just enough to mollify the torches/pitchforks crowd, but you can see why his mob lawyers don’t ever want him under oath. “I’m an incoherent jackass who can only parrot the last thing I heard” isn’t really a good defense for lying to investigators.

Gonna be funny as shit when Trump blows this up in eighteen hours with a furious toilet tweet, blowing dotard-poop all over Portman’s face.

When will these people learn to never, ever accept a forced Trump apology without giving it a day or two for him to cool down?

Yeah, but which word? “Would” be or “wouldn’t” be? I think we heard it right the first time.

Incidentally, the article shouldn’t say that the Dotard “admits” that he had a slip of the tongue. He claimed he had a slip of the tongue. If he truly had misspoken, the staff along with him would have been all over him. According to reports, they told him on the trip home that the press conference didn’t go over as well as he thought it did. So he should have corrected his “slip of the tongue” immediately.

We should have had this dialogue a long time ago, a long time frankly before I got to office.

You mean like when Obama met with McConnell and Ryan and they refused to let the facts be told publicly about the Russian hacking, about the Russian’s support for a certain candidate?

Nicole Wallace and her panel crucified Trump for the weakness shown in the attempted “clarification.” As she said, at least Trump’s “treasonous comments” yesterday were “on brand” but this was just pathetically weak.

To be fair, pathetic weakness in the face of adversity is also “on brand” for Donald J. Trump.

Oh, I was going to say, “what morons these cowards are”.

This the same Portman that spent July 4th in Moscow, then called for sanctions relief upon his return?

Gotta love that Trump was a hair away from trying to blame his imaginary bed ridden 400 lb hacker.

Who’s critical words amounted to a greater level of treason ? A sitting President standing next to an enemy leader besmirching the entire national security and foreign and domestic surveillance services - Secret Service - FBI CIA - Military …
or some civilian actress…

That’s why it always sounds discordant to me when Trump is described as a “strong man” leader. This groveling, whiny, coward???

Doesn’t change much? It doesn’t change ANYTHING. Because President Man-Baby is lying. If he meant to say “wouldn’t,” then why would he also state his unequivocal acceptance of Putin’s denials? Why would he so wholeheartedly welcome Putin to send Russian “investigators” to assist US intelligence agencies? Why was he so effusive in his praise of Putin and Russia? It’s for the same reason that’s been obvious, open, and apparent since long before the election — Trump knows exactly what Russia did to undermine our democratic election, because he and his campaign conspired with them to do it. Everything is else is just gibberish.

A weak man’s idea of what a strong man looks like. A trashy person’s idea of what a cultured person looks like. A poor person’s idea of what a rich person looks like. A loser’s idea of what a winner looks like.

He embodies the entire constellation. He contains multitudes.

“I accept our intelligence community’s conclusion that Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election took pace. It could be other people also,” he said. “There’s a lot of people out there.”

#Attention 400 lb. hacker, our president still thinks that you’re responsible for the DNC hack. So if you or an acquaintance has something to say…

Even if we accept he used the wrong sense of the negative seems to me that if you don’t understand simple rules of grammar you’re probably unfit to be making any decisions—especially if it’s the result of some kind of cognitive decline.

edit----that’s a general comment to the thread not intended as a specific reply.
