1. How scary is THAT SH'T?!

drumpf is "of the enemy", "by the enemy" AND "for the enemy".

[olegramps]

14. What will it take for citizens to realize the Republican Party is the greatest threat to freedom?

It is not the Russians or Chinese but Republicans who have demonstrated time and again that the have absolutely no respect for the rule of law. Over the last fifty years they have placed men in the presidency who are determined to transform the office into a virtual dictatorship. They don't care who they traffic with as long as it serves their purposes.

[democratisphere]

17. I agree.

Absolutely true.

2. It doesn't sounds like Trump because of the word "auspices"

He doesn't know words like that.

[democratisphere]

4. Yes. But he was using the word "auspices" in today's press conference,

and beat his new word to death.

[Leghorn21]

6. He always does, right? Remember after the Parkland massacre he was talking about arming teachers who

were "adept" at using firearms...they would take training to become "adept" at shooting properly--

He said it for about a week, and then never spoke that word again

Yup

[Achilleaze]

3. republicans pandering to murderous tyrants

Deranged. Weakening US security.

the republican Draft-dodger-in-Chief is undermining US security. Again.

[Brother Buzz]

5. Auspice?

Did someone give the orange anus a 'Word for the Day' calendar? It's a great word, but it sound alien coming out of his piehole.

[Hekate]

8. Meh. Dotard Don belongs in an 'ospice.

[Hekate]

7. Anybody old enough to remember the conspiracy theory about the CIA offing JFK?

I never bought into that, but in the Age of Trump I often wonder what those yoyos think now?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

13. Yeah, if there was any truth to that CT about JFK, tRump would be long gone. We can retire that CT.

[Hekate]

18. That CT actually came up several years ago...

...in a conversation I had with a 40 yo. Somehow I think old Conspiracy Theories never die, they just move the goalposts. SMH

[Leghorn21]

9. Holy hell on earth. I guess he has already extended this courtesy to his dear husband Vlad, eh.

"Follow the trail of dead Russians"

holy fucking hell, to actually say this out loud? holy fucking hell

[MGKrebs]

10. So of course it's a lie.

He's just so intent on ingratiating himself with these "strong leaders" (read: dictators) that he will say anything. But it doesn't mean anything. He wouldn't even know if the CIA was using informants unless they tell him.

Problem is, now they have another bargaining chip to use against him.

[Marie Marie]

11. This is so sad. Trump doesn't realize he is in a one-sided love affair.

[uponit7771]

12. Yep Donald Trump is a traitor

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

15. Can you imagine Fat Donnie as president during WWII?

"Hello, Adolf, my good friend? I'm calling to let you know I've instructed our military and government intelligence agencies that they can't spy on you for the duration of the war. I'll tell our allies to do the same thing, or I'll stop sending them military stuff. You're welcome. Have a good time storming the castle."

He is blinding our intelligence agencies to the threats that are real, not the least of which is Putin. I hope the CIA, et al., are monitoring his unsecured frequent telephone calls with Putin. With luck, they are bugging the rooms where Trump and Putin are holding their in-person secret meetings. It's horrible to think of our country's leader as a Russian asset, but apparently that's what we've got.

And his base doesn't care. Sheesh!

[onecaliberal]

16. Just as the media will not report it.

[thesquanderer]

19. It's vague. WHAT is Trump saying would not happen under his auspices?

Is it the spying? Maybe he meant the assassination.

Either way, whatever he said is meaningless.
