No more.. This proves beyond a shadow of a doubt That Donald Trump is a traitor...and anybody associated with him has the same stench of guilt

quote [ President Donald Trump’s performance during a press conference after a summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki on Monday left critics of all stripes howling. ]

This is discussing worse than I thought it could be. And if this happened in public imagine what was said in the 2 1/2 hours they spent alone.

At a press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin on foreign soil, President Donald Trump attacked fellow Americans – Democrats, Special Counsel Robert Mueller and members of the news media – for damaging U.S.-Russia relations by pursuing questions about Moscow’s efforts to help him win the presidency in 2016. […]

Trump also touted several conspiracy theories related to the election, asking about the 33,000 Hillary Clinton emails he has long claimed are missing, the whereabouts of a computer server at the Democratic National Committee, and the activities of a former House Democratic staffer who some conspiracy theorists have alleged penetrated lawmakers’ computers

* Putin, standing alongside Trump, insisted Russia never interfered in U.S. elections. This faced no pushback whatsoever from the American president.

* Despite the fact that he was on foreign soil, standing next to an American adversary, Trump condemned “obstructionist” congressional Democrats.

* Asked if he holds Russia accountable for “anything in particular,” Trump said he blames both countries for the deteriorating relationship, before adding that the United States has been “foolish.” He never got around to criticizing Russia for anything.

* As part of the same exchange, Trump proceeded to brag about his election victory and condemn the Mueller investigation – which three days ago produced an indictment against 12 Russian intelligence officials, connecting Putin’s government directly to the attack. Trump proceeded to call the probe a “disaster.”

* When a reporter asked Putin why anyone should believe his denials about election interference, Trump jumped in, defended Russia, and started talking about the Electoral College.

* Trump continued to peddle the Imran Awan conspiracy theory, which we already know is ridiculously untrue.

* Asked specifically if he believes American intelligence professionals or Putin, Trump gave every indication that he considers the latter more credible – Trump praised Putin’s “strong and powerful” denial, effectively endorsing the Russian leader’s line – before whining for quite a while about Hillary Clinton emails. (Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats was mentioned by name as someone whose judgment Trump chooses not to fully believe. The appropriate move would be for Coats to resign today.)

* Despite the Republican line that Russia simply wanted to create division and chaos in 2016, Putin conceded today that he wanted Trump to win.

* Asked if he has incriminating information about the American president, Putin laughed, denied knowing Trump was in Russia a few years ago, but did not directly answer the question.

* At no point did Trump condemn Russian election interference – apparently because Trump doesn’t really believe there was any Russian election interference.

In disastrous press conference, Trump defended Putin, blasted Americans

Pootin has dirt on the GOP. Remember, they were hacked as well. Only their emails weren't exposed. I'm guessing there is evidence of corruption, lies and manipulation by the GOP to hoodwink the american people. Imposing ideology knowing that it created collateral damage, and the GOP doesn't care. Like separating families at the border.

Since the beginning, they've been slowly pulling the curtain open bit by bit, in order to minimize the impact of the emails if they are released. This is why the GOP is standing behind dumpster until everything that could be damaging is mitigated by a slow drip release of what they really want and how they throw democracy under the bus to get it. A slow drip reduces the effect instead of a bombshell that would shake the entire conservative "movement" since it would plainly show that republicans and conservatives really don't give a shit about america or it's populace. They want to make it white and only for rich people to step on the backs of workers and the poor.

His site, his rules.

You can call him intellectually weak but then I shudder to think what that makes you. I’ll say to you what I said to Fish and norok. You can say you come to this site “ironically” or to shit on what you consider an echo chamber. However, you come, time and again, you come (tagline?).

If you were to build a site, no one would visit. You know this, I know this, we all know this. You come here because there’s something you can’t make/get yourself. Call it a challenge, a community, or a hobby the point is you need the people of this site more than they need you.

Steele re-built the old watering hole when the first one burnt down. His bar now, and he graciously lets several of us drink for free, including you. You’re the drunk in the corner of the bar that everyone wishes would just go home, drinking for free, and calling the rest of the patrons and the bartender stupid socialists that want something for nothing. That’s what I come here for personally. The jokes.

So put on your big boy pants and realize that the message you and your kind spout all the time is that no one is entitled to anything they didn’t work or pay for. Surprise surprise, the conservative forgot to look in a mirror as he’s been saying it.

tl;dr (I pulled just the bits that were definitive statements on anything that actually matters from their prepared remarks -- World Cup doesn't count, sorry)

Putin: American anti-missile defense system is bad. Let's split Syria into two countries. Korea should be one country. The US pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal was bad. Everything in fine in Ukraine, except maybe the US could be doing more to help us out there. Russia never interfered in US elections.

Trump: Democrats suck. Russia never interfered in US elections. Let's think about teaming up with Russia in Syria.

I didn't bother isolating anything from the Q&A portion, cause Trump is literally incomprehensible when he's freewheeling.

There are only two possible explanations left.
