@oralloy,
You don't make peace with our worst adversary. Putin is KGB, Trump is trumped.

@cicerone imposter,
"The President of the United States neither knows nor cares what the terms of any agreement are; he's there for the spectacle and will make wildly inaccurate claims of success," Schake told ABC News in an email.

I agree. This narcissist doesn't understand much of anything, and will probably give away the kitchen.

@oralloy,
Did Obama have the right to make peace with Iran? I think you are being illogical again.

What do you think Trump is going to give to Russia? And don't you think we should wait till he actually does it? You are fear mongering and promoting division. You are part of this country's problem because you lost an election. Something our founders guaranteed, winners and losers and more elections.

Let Trump do the job he was elected to do until someone else is elected instead of going ape **** everyday.

I know as much about history as you do, if not more, and you never cease to amaze me with your worn out tactics where you say nothing but manage to include a family member in what you consider an insult.

You do not have the ability to insult me, you do seem to have the ability to ignore the rules on this forum. You can not insult someone who knows the source of that insult is someone like you. There is simply no one that matters behind the insult. Do you comprehend that?

George Will: 'America's child president had a playdate with a KGB alumnus' | Opinion

By George Will

WASHINGTON -- America's child president had a playdate with a KGB alumnus, who surely enjoyed providing daycare. It was a useful, because illuminating, event: Now we shall see how many Republicans retain a capacity for embarrassment.

Jeane Kirkpatrick, a Democrat closely associated with such Democratic national security stalwarts as Sen. Henry Jackson and former Sen. and former Vice President Hubert Humphrey, was Ronald Reagan's ambassador to the United Nations. In her speech to the 1984 Republican National Convention in Dallas, she explained her disaffection from her party: "They always blame America first."

In Helsinki, the president who bandies the phrase "America first" put himself first, as always, and America last, behind Vladimir Putin's regime.

Because the Democrats had just held their convention in San Francisco, Kirkpatrick branded the "blame America first" cohort as "San Francisco Democrats." Thirty-four years on, how numerous are the "Helsinki Republicans"?

What, precisely, did Donald Trump say about the diametrically opposed statements concerning Russia and the 2016 U.S. elections by U.S. intelligence agencies (and the Senate Intelligence Committee) and by Putin concerning Russia and the 2016 U.S. elections?

Precision is not part of Trump's repertoire: He speaks English as though it is a second language that he learned from someone who learned English last week. So, it is usually difficult to sift meanings from Trump's word salads. But in Helsinki he was, for him, crystal clear about feeling no allegiance to the intelligence institutions that work at his direction and under leaders he chose.

Speaking of Republicans incapable of blushing -- those with the peculiar strength that comes from being incapable of embarrassment -- consider South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, who for years enjoyed derivative gravitas from his association with John McCain.

Graham tweeted about Helsinki: "Missed opportunity by President Trump to firmly hold Russia accountable for 2016 meddling and deliver a strong warning regarding future elections." A "missed opportunity" by a man who does not acknowledge the meddling?

Contrast Graham's mush with this from McCain, still vinegary: "Today's press conference in Helsinki was one of the most disgraceful performances by an American president in memory."

Or this from Arizona's other senator, Jeff Flake: "I never thought I would see the day when our American president would stand on the stage with the Russian President and place blame on the United States for Russian aggression." Blame America only.

Secretary of Defense James Mattis, White House chief of staff John Kelly, Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats and others might believe that they must stay in their positions lest there be no adult supervision of the Oval playpen.

This is a serious worry, but so is this: Can those people do their jobs for someone who has neither respect nor loyalty for them?

Like the purloined letter in Edgar Allan Poe's short story with that title, collusion with Russia is hiding in plain sight. We shall learn from Robert Mueller's investigation whether in 2016 there was collusion with Russia by members of the Trump campaign.

The world, however, saw in Helsinki something more grave -- ongoing collusion between Trump, now in power, and Russia. The collusion is in what Trump says (refusing to back America's intelligence agencies) and in what evidently went unsaid (such as: You ought to stop disrupting Ukraine, downing civilian airliners, attempting to assassinate people abroad using poisons, and so on, and on).

Americans elected a president who -- this is a safe surmise -- knew that he had more to fear from making his tax returns public than from keeping them secret. The most innocent inference is that for decades he has depended on an American weakness, susceptibility to the tacky charisma of wealth, which would evaporate when his tax returns revealed that he has always lied about his wealth, too. A more ominous explanation might be that his redundantly demonstrated incompetence as a businessman tumbled him into unsavory financial dependencies on Russians. A still more sinister explanation might be that the Russians have something else, something worse to keep him compliant.

The explanation is in doubt; what needs to be explained -- his compliance -- is not. Granted, Trump has a weak man's banal fascination with strong men whose disdain for him is evidently unimaginable to him. And, yes, he only perfunctorily pretends to have priorities beyond personal aggrandizement. But just as astronomers inferred, from anomalies in the orbits of the planet Uranus, the existence of Neptune before actually seeing it, Mueller might infer, and then find, still-hidden sources of the behavior of this sad, embarrassing wreck of a man.

That sums it up. Let our politicians tell us what is American and what is not. That is exactly what a vote for Democrats will get you.

@coldjoint,
Nothing but more of your over-generalized, sensationalized propoganda.

Just because you are fool enough to believe that crap, don't expect anyone with common sense to join you.

Voting Republican will support Trump's sell out of our country's security to Putin. And, all of your hyped up propoganda can't distract from that glaring reality.

Already the attempt by the left-wing group One Wisconsin Now to politicize the death of late South African president Nelson Mandela has been turned on its head. The group suggested that in honor of Mandela’s legacy Wisconsin lawmakers should curtail their attempt to implement a statewide voter ID program.

South Africa, under a constitution signed by Mandela in 1996, has a rigorous election integrity system. Voters are required to have valid government-issued IDs to register to vote and then cast a ballot.

FAIL. Laughing Laughing Laughing

@coldjoint,
A nothing burger in Wisconsin, particularly since residents in that state are already feeling the negative fallout of Trump's ill-conceived tariff and trade policies.

More importantly, Trump's support of Putin will enable Russia to continue influencing our electoral process --and who knows what else--unless Democrats rejgain control of Congress to protect our national security and interests. Unfortunately, Republicans lack the backbone to stand up and protect our country from a president who puts his own interests above those of our nation.

Trump stood on a world stage and colluded with Putin right in front of everyone. No wonder you are trying so hard to distract from that.

Maybe but it shows no research necessary by the people that want power. The truth only matters when it works for them. If you think that does not speak to character, voters do.

@coldjoint,
Any voter concerned with "character" couldn't possibly support Trump, or any Republican that backs him. He is most likely the most disreputable man to ever sit in the oval office.

And the Putin-lover-in-chief just announced he does not think Russia is continuing to target the U.S.

Does he really think that voters can't see he is actively colluding with Russia right now?
