    It should be clear to any and every one that donald is out of his mind. He can't be allowed to continue destroying our country.

    Trump really has to get his head out of his ass.

    Unconventional can only cover so much.



    Not too sure he's "Destroying" the country at this juncture, but he's certainly not helping build a lot of confidence.

    Ok. I can understand your concerns with Russia or whatever, but "destroying"? LOL he's been in office 3 months. Can you stop with the theatrics?

    He does cause his administration a bit more trouble by not worring about the optics of the situation. Of course the left would have been accusing Trump of being Russian puppet for meeting with the guy no matter what happened yesterday.

    Good move by Trump, only because he wants to focus on the meeting at hand and the Russian envoy and not be bogged down in the firing of James Comey. He knows the press would have no interest in the meeting and be focused backwards on yesterdays news.

    If news outlets like CNN would stop colluding with the DNC and hyperventilating over every decision he makes, he would be more open with them.

    You make a good point.

    A CBS reporter asked Putin (while he was playing Hockey.... GO HAWKS) if, or how the firing of Comey would effect Russian/US relations...


    He replied that the question was funny, & that Russia had nothing to do with it.



    I was scratching my head, wondering why the question was even asked!

    What he's doing to our National Monuments destroying what previous presidents have done for future generations to be able to enjoy - is that theatrical enough for you?

    That's even more of a dramaqueen response. I think his harsh stance on foreign policy and his attempt to avoid a cold war (what the left wanted) is really helping us. China's more cooperative...some good things have happened. Hell, Trump might allow China to invade North Korea solving a giant world problem. Who knows.

    Quit the whining and sit back. Should be an interesting 4 years

    Yea, I think it was merely strategic and he knew full well what the line of questions would be. He wants to move on.... Of course, he tweeted like crazy so I wish he was silent on twitter to go with the media shun.

    Yea, I saw Putin make a mention of that when asked. Why ask Putin?

    Democrats have hated Comey for a long time, now they play the "sad face"....it makes no sense.

    I hope the Penguins win tonight! I think they'll lose....The Capitals look like a serious contender. They have one of heck of a scoring line.

    Looking forward to the game. :)

    We've had this discussion before. What the feds are doing in the Everglades is downright criminal. It's time for a new direction, and by that I mean the agencies.
    Time to get the ax out and start over in the federal gubt agencies. It takes time to fix Obama's mess.

    So why exacerbate it by only allowing the Russian presss? It's nutty.

    We'll of course. Since it has been proven that Trump has in fact been colluding with the Russians, both directly and indirectly, what else would you expect the Left to think?

    No! Jeremy Bash did! Why? Did Jeremy rip your tongue out in the process leaving you with no counter rebuttal of your own? Looks that way to me.

    Proven? You have solid links I presume? I'll put that one up there with the Bigfoot and Skunkape searches.

    MSNBC only recruits arms of the left wing. It's the most biased major network. Also, Brian Williams reports are known lies. He was fired for them.

    So, remember, that one time, on the Bosnian Beach, and the shells started falling, and the bullets wizzed by.... oh, wait that was HIllary. My bad.
