No, this doesn't make Democrats sound like kooks

"The Obama Administration's CIA director, John Brennan, charged that President Trump's post-summit press conference with Russia President Vladimir Putin was an act of treason," Grabienews reported.
"Donald Trump's press performance in Helsinki rises to and exceeds the threshold of 'high crimes and misdemeanors,'" Brennan tweeted.
"It was nothing short of treasonous. Not only were Trump's comments imbecilic, he is wholly in the pocket of Putin. Republican Patriots: Where are you???"
Treason requires the nation to be at war, which was why communists Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were charged with espionage and not treason for giving the Russians secrets to build their first nuclear bombs.
Meanwhile, Anderson Cooper said, “You've been watching perhaps one of the most disgraceful performances by an American president at a summit in front of a Russian leader, certainly that I’ve ever seen.

"The president -- given the opportunity, asked by an American reporter who he trusted on the issue of Russian meddling, the U.S. intelligence community or Vladimir Putin, he blinked and he went to Hillary Clinton’s e-mail server. As to who he holds responsible, he says I hold both countries responsible. I think we are all to blame. We have a chance to do some great things; made no mention of Georgia, the shooting down of a Malaysian plane, Crimea and Ukraine, and election interference."
Ah, objective straight news reporting.
Those things happened when Barack Obama was president.
He never confronted Putin about them.
Cooper never confronted Obama about that.
Remember?
"President Obama did not discuss Russia’s alleged meddling in the U.S. elections during his short conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Sunday," The Hill reported on November 20, 2016.
"'That’s behind us,' Obama told reporters during a press conference at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Peru.
"The President said he and Putin discussed Russia’s air campaign in Syria and the Minsk negotiations regarding Ukraine.
"In October, the Obama administration formally accused Russia of trying to interfere in the American elections by hacking emails belonging to Democratic National Committee members."
But now, two years after Obama passed on confronting Putin, Obama's party has its minions in the press attacking President Trump.
Richard Stengel, former managing editor of Time magazine, said, "The Constitution says that the president must take care that the laws be faithfully executed. That’s his main job. We saw the chief law enforcement officer of the United States, the president of the United States, stand up next to a Russian dictator and take his side against the law enforcement agencies of the United States. That’s a stunning development.

"We are under attack from Russia. If there were physical missiles, like during the Cuban Missile Crisis, Americans would be in the streets and protesting and asking for the president to protect us. These are invisible missiles. These are digital missiles that are going into our system. We can’t see them. We have a hard time explaining them. DNI Coats said the red light was blinking like just before 9/11. I mean, we’re in a very difficult situation and I think there has to be a better way to explain this to the American people and then make the American people alarmed by what is happening to us."
Naw, comparing one computer hacked to 9/11 does not make Stengel sound like a foaming-mouth loon.
This has all the spontaneity of a wedding.
All this rage was planned by the Democratic Party to diminish the president's success. When you are negotiating with someone, you do not bring up all this.
FDR didn't say boo about the Holodomor when he offered Stalin half of Europe in exchange for help against the Nazis (whom Russia already was at war with).
Forget facts. Look at how this reaction to the press conference plays at home.
Once again, President Trump makes his critics sound like kooks, because they are. |
