Scrambling at damage control after his #treasonsummit (and after a meeting today with his national security/ intelligence leadership), Putin puppet Donald "Rump" Trump attempted a magic trick -- denying that what he said was what he meant to say at yesterday's joint press conference with his handler. Reading from a prepared statement as though he was reading a hostage message, he said:
“In a key sentence in my remarks I said the word would instead of wouldn’t. The sentence should have been, ‘I don’t see any reason why I wouldn’t or why it wouldn’t be Russia.’ … Sort of a double negative. So you can put that in, and I think that probably clarifies things pretty good by itself.”So this world- class dolt, who thinks everybody is as stupid as he is, thinks this "clarifies things pretty good," 30 hours after he made his original remarks. Considering his long pattern of dismissing the intelligence community's unanimous findings, and the many statements and omissions during his part of the 40- plus minute press conference with his handler when he was invited to criticize Russia's meddling in the 2016 election but denied or deflected, you can trust this de minimis "clarification" as much as you can a degree from Trump University. (Recall also his lame walk- back of his criticism of British PM Theresa May while she was hosting him in Britain -- he's not getting any better at these "clarifications.")
Here are a few reactions:

Clean up, aisle Trump.— Judy Chu (@RepJudyChu) July 17, 2018
He didn't misspeak. He said exactly what he intended to, and he doubled and tripled down until he got back here and was forced to change his tune. He can't be trusted on his own. We deserve to know what he said to Putin when they were alone for 2+ hours https://t.co/vz2mch4Nzs

I've been waiting for some key Republicans to respond to Trump's treason.
Waiting, waiting...pretty quiet across the House and Senate. Of course, more Democrats, military leaders, and directors of Intelligence and even historians all spoke out, some quite loudly, against Trump's treason. Sadly, weak tea from some Republicans, who mumbled that he shouldn't have said what he did. But there were more who said, unbelievably, that who were they to tell the president what to say, or that the Democrats, as usual, are overreacting because we are deranged about everything Trump.
So this massive failure of a president can truly shoot our democracy to death in front of the entire world and nobody will stop him.
Unbelievable.
donnah - that's pretty much the situation we have now. Slimeballs like Rand Paul and some of the Freedumb Caucus crackpots were furiously trying to deflect and defend. We have to begin the slow (but hopefully not too slow) process of removing as many Repubs as possible from office starting in November.
