    Note how he always crafts his language for plausible deniability: “Russia, I hope you find...” instead of “I want you to find” or something like that.

    So that he can give a stupid fucking look to reporters when they ask like, “What! I never told them to! I just said it wouldn’t be terrible if they came across it!”

    This is the mark of a con-man and someone who has bullshitted his way through thousands of lawsuits.

      If anyone is near a television, this is going over like a lead balloon. The news is calling this exactly what it is: dangerous. This is one of those few things we’re going to see end up sticking. People keep thinking that nothing sticking, but stuff is; it just takes time for it to become more publicly apparent.

      Everything he says is vague and designed to give him an “out”

      “Some people are saying...”

      “There’s something strange going on...”

      “Somebody should take that guy and ...well, I’m not going to say...”

      He’s a fucking weasel who thinks he’s far smarter than he actually is.

    Hillary needs to hit him relentlessly on the tax returns. With Trump’s ability to spin shit into gold for his supporters, they must be REALLY fucking bad for him to not release them.

      So what’s the deal with this “audit” anyway? I mean. I assume the IRS is doing the auditing. Can’t they just say, “Look, we don’t want to get in the way of campaign issue, so we’ll suspend our audit until the end of the election...” ?

    Isn’t what he actually said that they should be rewarded for breaking into the DNC servers? How is this not treason?

      “Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open Court.”

      Not sure which part he did. Especially since we were all told by Democrats that Russia isn’t our enemy when Mitt Romney described them as such.

      I don’t think it’s actually treason unless direct involvement is found, but it does seem terrible.

    He also claimed in the same news conference to have never met Putin. Despite, you know, all those times back in the debates where he claimed to have met Putin.

      And no one ever calls him on it! I can't even watch him give interviews anymore, because he just spouts the most ridiculous, contradictory, and easily disproven garbage and, for some reason, 99% of the time the reporters just let it go and move on to the next question.

      In case people want citations:

      Today:

      I don’t know who Putin is. He said one nice thing about me. … I never met Putin

      November debate:

      I got to know [Putin] very well because we were both on 60 Minutes. We were stablemates, and we did very well that night

      From TPM:

      “Trump also said during a National Press Club luncheon in 2014 that he was in Moscow and he spoke “directly and indirectly with President Putin who could not have been nicer.”

    That press conference was fucking bonkers. Something tweaked his nips this morning and now his campaign has to deal with this shit storm of an appearance. If you’re going to try and get the spotlight off of the Dem’s pretty good convention, I fully support it when it's done by shitting the bed. Holy hell, he's fucking dumb.

    He just totally killed his convention bounce. lol It’s not like it was going to last, anyway, because they rarely do. But there was good polling news coming out for him so far this week.

    Thanks for stepping on your dick as you are wont to do, Donnie!

      Yeah, the “real Americans” who support Trump usually don’t look kindly on inviting Russians to attack. Can’t wait to see the mental gymnastics the patriots go through to justify still supporting him.

      When an election has a possibility of not going in a nations desired direction, they are obligated to step in and intervene. Just ask Hillary Clinton.

      Donald Trump realizes that Putin’s interests align with his own, so he is making it clear he will not blow back on the cyber intrusion. Intervention in democracy in progress is apparently a necessary evil. We do it all the time.

    The cold comfort that I take from knowing that he just spouts off any idiotic thing that pops into his mind, without actually meaning it, is more than offset by the realization that half the country takes it seriously.

      Even when he says something so crazy that even his supporters don’t agree, its spun to be harmless and that it’s proof that he’s not “PC” or a “professional politician.”

      Pardon my ignorance if you would, but where is that picture from? I take it Russia had claimed your country? How long were they there? I had a friend who lived in Poland, and her family escaped in the early 80s, the stories they shared were...scary wasn’t the word. It was terrifying.

      Calling on Russia to do this, is in-fucking-sane. Why not just say, hey Putin, can you send some soldiers to scrub down her server and take over the clinton foundation? Hell I’ll let you guys have, I dunno, Alaska and the west coast. What do you say?
