Okay so the reason everyone is snapping is because he said in front of Putin that the information that his OWN DNI Dan Coats said is up for debate.  He said, "I asked Putin and he said no." as if that overrides the DHS, CIA, FBI and all other members of the intelligence community.  Defending us in this case means not demeaning us in front of the Russia and the whole world.  If something like this happened to Hillary (it did in the reverse actually) we would hope that she can at least get on the same side as the very men and women dedicated to protecting this country.  What Russia did is threaten our right to our own representation.   If we lose that we are in trouble. Even though this is the natural conclusion of hacking election boards, people are not really talking about it and I know why.  The American public, people on both sides would ask 'what the hell are we even voting for if people can hack state election boards?'  It creates a crisis on it very own. 

The comment about the agencies was in response to your claim that no harm was done. 

BTW, Trump just now is saying that he 'accepts the findings of the intelligence community' so at least he did that.  Earlier this week when asked if he holds them responsible, he said he holds both countries responsible.  That is something else that got people very upset.  The responsibility is all Russia's unless he is insisting that Americans were also involved in the hacking which would make this far worse. 

He had a bad press conference, why are people acting like this is an impeachable offense? And why are people complimenting Putin? All he did was laugh at the stupid press questions. Trump did bad because of Trump, Putin didn’t do anything lol. Putin is a boss? What the fuck is that about?

Well it's just speculation at this stage that they have anything on him. I think Putin just massaged Trump's ego and made some concessions behind closed doors, forcing Trump to look weak and play along in front of the media.

Putin is extremely devious and intelligent. Trump is neither, so he was made to look like a bitch. Putin must be loving it.

That was not bad it was embarrassing.  For someone who is being investigated for making deals with another foreign nation to gain the presidency, how can that press conference look good in any way.  So yes, it appeared that he went into a private meeting with another foreign leader we have accused of attacking the US and came out of it prasing that leader and throwing all of our intelligence agency under the bus.  People are complimenting Putin for a master class in political maneuvering because of the outcome of that whole event broadcast around the world for everyone to see.  He pretty much used Trump as a puppet, made Trump look foolish and weak on the world stage after all the bluster he did at NATO and laughed at the press because its always funny when you have their own president by the balls and there is nothing you can do about it.  Putin doesn't have to say anything when you have Trump saying it all.  That is the master puppeteer.  To even come on the board and try to defend that performance and make it anything less that the absolute Fup shows that anything Trump does you are quick to dismiss.

The worst part was that complete strained walkback on Tuesday which was even more embarrassing.  It's as if Trump's people think the general public is stupid.  As if one word was the only thing people had an issue with in that cringe worthy press conference.  Next you have the tweets afterward where he pretty much walks back on his walk back.  Its the classic Trump where he loves to throw out confusing messages and let people like you choose how to view it and defend what he has done.  Trump supporters become the Trump listeners for the world as you interpret the nonsense he throws out and try to make it appear everyone else just do not understand.  

Now I'm getting flashbacks to Monkey Island 2

lol am i really seeing posts in here stating that we need to trust the CIA, FBI and MSM?????

lets do a quick recap

madeline albright by the way recently criticised trump over his treatment of children and was featured on jimmy kimmel

jesus christ wake the f up

trump is a bull in a china shop and the ignorant or otherwise supporters of the deep state cannot handle that

trump is exactly what is needed, a masculine confrontational man to shake things up and run the cockroaches out from the shadows for everyone to see

hilary clinton started the birther movement btw according to morning joe even though the msm have been calling trump a racist for starting it

hilary clinton participated in the funding of al qaeda, the greatest threat to americans over the past few decades , that alone should have invalidated her presidential run

Lol, so Trump is a bull in a China shop unless its Russia.  You want us to believe that he is here to shake things up but when he gets his chance at Russia he act like Putin bitch.  Next if you were on point, then Trump would not have walked back his previous statements and stood firm instead of that ridiculous crap he spewed on Tuesday. Maybe you should wait until Trump knows which Trump to defend before trying defend one stance he already threw away.

Your defense of Trump doesn't hold any water because he walked his statements back.  You want to make it appear we should all discount everything that was shone concerning the hacking because of a few videos you found.  You want everyone to dismiss everything from all the security councils and agencies because Trump made a fool of himself to the world. 

Who cares if Hillary started the Birther movement.  Trump took that torch and made it his own.  As always, people believe by throwing Hillary or Obama name into something it asolves trump from doing the same thing.  If you thought it was stupid, criminal or bad under one person, why suddenly it would be ok for another.  Why is it you have to justify what Trump is doing or has done based on someone else doing it.
