He never said they agreed anything, yet Russia seem to be of the view that agreements have been reached.

Is that Trump is simply not paying any attention (the fact he took two days holidays to play gold just before the summit would lend credence to that theory)? Mike Pence is long enough in the game, Bolton, Mattis, Pompeo. These guys all know how these things tend to work.

Worst of all, he always thinks he is the smartest guy in the room. Its a pretty bad combination for a President of a Superpower. He has never been anything else though, there is nothing shocking about his inability to do the job, its why he still spends most of his time either playing golf or campaigning for a job he already has.

All the members tend to be intellectuals, exceptionally well-educated and strong thinkers, who usually make considered decisions, and they tend to have a lot of respect for the law and the constitution. If that changes, I’l be concerned, but for now, it’s still a well functioning branch of Government. The Executive and the Legislative branches however... they appear to have forgotten their responsibilities.

Just now President Putin denied having anything to do with the election interference in 2016. Every US intelligence agency has concluded that Russia did. My first question for you, sir, is who do you believe?
My people came to me, Dan Coats came to me and some others and said they think it’s Russia. I have President Putin. He just said it’s not Russia. I will say this. I don’t see any reason why it would be, but I really do want to see the server.

Outlaw Pete wrote: » "Owned her" lol. Whoopie said Trump starts conversations with "Mexicans are liars and rapists" and that he "whips up people to beat the hell out of people" and then kicked her off the show not letting her reply to that nonsense. That means she "owned her"? No, that's not how you treat someone and that is not discussion. She shoulf be ashamed of herself, as should anyone that feels that's an okay thing to do to a guest that has been invited onto a show and if Fox did the same to a liberal I'd say the same.
