“Today’s press conference in Helsinki was one of the most disgraceful performances by an American president in memory. The damage inflicted by President Trump’s naiveté, egotism, false equivalence, and sympathy for autocrats is difficult to calculate. But it is clear that the summit in Helsinki was a tragic mistake.“President Trump proved not only unable, but unwilling to stand up to Putin. He and Putin seemed to be speaking from the same script as the president made a conscious choice to defend a tyrant against the fair questions of a free press, and to grant Putin an uncontested platform to spew propaganda and lies to the world.“It is tempting to describe the press conference as a pathetic rout — as an illustration of the perils of under-preparation and inexperience. But these were not the errant tweets of a novice politician. These were the deliberate choices of a president who seems determined to realize his delusions of a warm relationship with Putin’s regime without any regard for the true nature of his rule, his violent disregard for the sovereignty of his neighbors, his complicity in the slaughter of the Syrian people, his violation of international treaties, and his assault on democratic institutions throughout the world.“Coming close on the heels of President Trump’s bombastic and erratic conduct towards our closest friends and allies in Brussels and Britain, today’s press conference marks a recent low point in the history of the American Presidency. That the president was attended in Helsinki by a team of competent and patriotic advisors makes his blunders and capitulations all the more painful and inexplicable.“No prior president has ever abased himself more abjectly before a tyrant. Not only did President Trump fail to speak the truth about an adversary; but speaking for America to the world, our president failed to defend all that makes us who we are — a republic of free people dedicated to the cause of liberty at home and abroad. American presidents must be the champions of that cause if it is to succeed. Americans are waiting and hoping for President Trump to embrace that sacred responsibility. One can only hope they are not waiting totally in vain.”
I called her DC office and demanded she announce her decision to back either the DOJ and the FBI....or Russia....and gave the staffer shit for her being in Moscow July 4.
She’s just corrupt, probably not an active traitor....but it will be interesting to know how much laundered Rusian money entered her campaign.
In Helsinki, Mr. Trump again insisted “there was no collusion” with Russia. Yet in refusing to acknowledge the plain facts about Russia’s behavior, while trashing his own country’s justice system, Mr. Trump in fact was openly colluding with the criminal leader of a hostile power.
Although Huntsman is in that pic, I have a sliver of trust in him. Former Governor of Utah, he actually has a brain and a world view.
Former ambassador to China under Obama. I wouldn't be surprised if he's thinking "WTF am I doing with these clowns?"
His former campaign aide just asked him to resign.
From the SL Tribune. (Looks like they need a spellchecker on their computer.)
The former campaign strategist for ex-Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman’s 2012 presidential campaign called on Huntsman to resign as Russian ambassador Monday in protest of President Donald Trump, who seemed to give credance to President Vladimir Putin’s denial of meddling in the U.S. election.
John Weaver, a longtime Republican operative who served as the main campaign strategist for Huntsman’s short-lived presidential bid, tweeted “@JonHuntsman Resign, if you have any honor.”
“I know Ambassador Huntsman to be a man of honor and proud of his service to America," Weaver later told The Salt Lake Tribune. “If he wants to preserve that honor, the greatest service he can do for the country he loves is to speak the truth he knows and resign with his integrity intact."
Weaver also worked on the GOP presidential campaigns of Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Arizona Sen. John McCain, both of whom were highly critical of Trump’s performance Monday — McCain saying Trump had “abased himself ... before a tyrant" and calling the damage to the U.S. “difficult to calculate.”
