It is just crazy from our european point of view. I understand the exceptance of cheating a bit more from you guys' explanation, but the accusation of assault the billy bush recording, the constant lying about trivial things that can easily be factchecked. It seems like he is warping the truth and reality to his willing.
So Billy Bob Clinton who had several affairs while in and out of the WH would not be permitted to live there if Hillary had won ? What kind of standard would you call that ?
LOL You stated you thought there was a double standard and you didn't answer my question
Nope but Trump was a private citizen at the time while Billy Bob was in the WH. If Trump was humping everything that walked while the POTUS I would agree with you
Trump Says Critics Badly Want War With Russia
Says they're pushing recklessly for a 'major confrontation'
Jason Ditz Posted on July 19, 2018Categories NewsTags Russia, Trump
In comments on Twitter early Thursday, President Trump faulted his critics, saying he believes they “badly want to see a major confrontation with Russia, even a confrontation that could lead to war.”
Trump has been saying he wants better relations with Russia since the 2016 campaign, and has been facing heavy criticism for that position ever since. This week saw Trump’s first summit with Putin since the election.
That summit went well, but Trump was roundly castigated by much of the media as well as the overwhelming majority of US lawmakers. They were indeed demanding confrontations of Vladimir Putin and were extremely angry that the summit went well.
Trump believes this amounts to pushing “recklessly hard” for war, saying “they hate the fact that I’ll probably have a good relationship with Putin.” Though these critics generally aren’t advocating for war itself, they have been advocating for years for ever-worsening bilateral relations.
It is this hostility toward Russia that has driven bilateral ties to their worst point since the height of the Cold War, and has them resisting even the hint of detente. While they aren’t necessarily expecting this to lead to war, they are determined to see it not lead to peace.
President Trump is being increasingly vocal about his annoyance at this resistance to his diplomatic overtures, despite avoiding a war with Russia seemingly being an obvious part of long-term US strategic interests.
But as President Trump firmly positions himself against a disastrous war with Russia, it is likely to escalate the rhetoric coming out of his critics, making their anti-Russia stance yet more overt and more willing to counsel an unthinkable conflict.

Do you know how many elections we've meddled in? The only proof they have is bots on FB, no changing votes, nothing. The left is hypocritical.
Trump doesn't have the power to indict, that's another branch of government. You can do your best to hold those responsible accountable with your legal resources and attempt good relations, or at least open lines of communication, at the same time. This has been the strategy of the U.S. government for 80+ years vs. the Soviet Union/Russia.
Old enough. You said, "hold the one's responsible accountable" Is that indictments or legal action? Trump doesn't investigate, he's the President. He has people for that. Do you have a link to establish that there is no ongoing investigation into Russian meddling in the election?
What are you nuts?? Read the post again please... Or clear that vaseline out of you eyeballs. I didnt claim european politicians dont lie. I did claim no politician lies like Trump. (ease debunked when factchecked) You wont find a guy that lies like Trump in western european politics. Please stop spinning my post.
Pack it in.
Have you heard of Silvio Berlusconi? Or Tony Blair? Or the multiquote function?
Yeeeeeaaah...
Tony Blair lied to take our country to war and kill hundreds of thousands of people - including our own troops.
It's certainly not my place to enforce this, but as a courtesy, I know I would appreciate it if edited content (particularly that which has been edited after the original content has been cited) was indicated as having been edited. A simple line break and preceding "Edit:" would certainly suffice.
There's an equal number of us on this forum on both sides of the coin who dive deep into our respective base. American, non-American doesn't really matter; we're as loud as the other.
My apologies, but I am not familiair with proper forum ettiquette. Because the posts are sensitive I actually did add "edit" (as a courtesy), because I noticed I posted it too soon, without factchecking. English also is not my first language. Also it is normal for people with perhaps an opposite belief to be offended and be on the defensive.
I'm not sure why you're directing that at me? You think that's somehow a counter to saying that the President has people that handle the legal stuff? Are those legal people now out of a job or does the investigation continue? AFAIK absolutely nothing has changed on that front. If it has please share it with us.
You do yourself a disservice and handicap your own participation here if you think that people responding to you are either offended or on the defensive. It's a terrible perspective for approaching a discussion.
Engaging in discussion and countering your points is not being "provoked". See above. It's literally the reason we are here, to engage each other. If you post opinions expect them to be challenged.
Interesting you site Fox News as propoganda when the media over here is generally seen as leaning left, at least in my opinion. Fox nearly stands almost alone among the mainstream media in that regard. There is no such thing as an independent press.
Please give us some historical examples that are repeating themselves under the current President and explain how the democratic institutions in place that are designed to prevent that very thing happening are failing.
