Paul Ryan: “The president must appreciate that Russia is not our ally”
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Everyone knows that Paul Ryan is secretly a Left Wing Liberal Socialist of the worst sort-- maybe a Commie sympathizer even!
It seems Trump’s shocking performance in Helsinki was beyond the pale for Ryan.
House Speaker Paul Ryan has issued a statement slamming President Donald Trump ’s refusal to admit that Moscow interfered in the 2016 election during his press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki, Finland, on Monday.
“There is no question that Russia interfered in our election and continues attempts to undermine democracy here and around the world,” Ryan said in a statement. “The president must appreciate that Russia is not our ally.”

“There is no question that Russia interfered in our election and continues attempts to undermine democracy here and around the world,” Ryan said in a statement . “The president must appreciate that Russia is not our ally.”
That’s the most powerful Republican in the House condemning a president of his own party.
The president doesn't appreciate anything that doesn't effect his bottom line, hit him in the wallet or, bank account and, you get his attention.
Good point!
And his other vuknerability is his YUGE ego! One of his main goals is approval seeking behaviour-- that at times gets really nutty! He's like a spoiled little baby, constantly seeking attention...
So someone came up with a really great way to get under the poor 'il 'itsy-bitsy Trumplekin's skin-- the Trump Baby balloon! IMO a brilliant idea-- let's hope it spreads!
May a million Baby Trump Balloons spread throughout the land-- and adjacent parts as well! Unto all future generations and their progeny! Let the festivities begin!

I always liked this one.
And yet, President Obama said in October 2016 there is no way for an interloper to affect the outcome of a national election int he United States. Of course, that was before the tables were turned on the Dems. So, which is it?
Yea, he still isn't president anymore. Deflection fail.
It really isn't possible to hack voting machines because they aren't connected to the internet. However, the elections can be influenced but agents outside our borders.
Sorry but that is really an ignorant claim. They don't have to hack the actual machines (some of which ARE network connected), all they have to do is hack the voter lists and delete a percentage of Democratic voters. When they go to vote, they won't be allowed, so Republican will win.
I stand corrected.
I say the same thing i said with Iraq and the rise of anti US sentiment across the world. It is a result of US meddling in affairs across the world... including Russia. Now we want to whine when it is done to us.
I don't ask you believe the same as me. I jistbask you understand why I feel as I do. It is reasonable especially considering many on the left were in agreement with me when it involved bush.
What happened to our distrust of the intelligence community and three letter agencies in general? We know they can't be trusted.
Do you now believe Iraq had WMDs because those same intel agencies said they did. Why is it ok to pick and choose when to trust them?
The same agencies that have a well documented history of lies and manipulation and I'm being told I must trust them completely now? The same agencies that sent letters to MLK jr telling him to kill himself, that made dossiers on American citizens, that planned false flag attacks as justification of invading Cuba, on and on.
As I said. You don't have to agree with me. Just don't act like my view is unfounded.
So it's the victim's fault? America wouldn't have been hacked if it didn't wear such short skirts????
Come'on. Ad absurdum. I guess they are messing with us because they hate our freedoms too :/
Again, America is the victim, you can't blame the victim for the crime, it doesn't matter the criminal's reasoning. Will you also blame the Jewish people for Hitler's atrocities???
Again with the ad absurdum.
We aren't talking about someone being attacked for simply existing. If you want to have a discussion in good faith I am all for it. I'm not going to waste time if you have no intention though.
Do you think the US has interfered In other elections? Do you think the US orchestrated protests in other places? Did they do it to Russia?
You can be against people attacking the US and at the same time consider the actions that's have led to it.
So you DO believe in blaming the victims!!
Why play games instead of having the discussion? Is trolling all you have left? If you aren't interested in a discussion why even come to a site like this?
Nothing to discuss, you are blaming the victim which is wrong every time.
Trolling. Got it. At least you made it obvious so I know to block and move on
It’s also a reversal for Ryan. After reporters asked for his opinion about Trump sending last week’s NATO summit into chaos, Ryan responded, “We should not be criticizing our president while he’s overseas.”
But it seems Trump’s shocking performance in Helsinki was beyond the pale for Ryan.
During the 50-minute press conference, Trump sided with Putin instead of America’s intelligence agents about Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election; failed to mention Russian transgressions like its invasion of Ukraine or its attempted assassination via toxic nerve agent of a former spy on British soil; and called Putin’s proposal to send Russians to help Mueller investigate Russian meddling an “incredible offer.”
We may have just found the point, beyond which, many Republican's refuse to pass. This would be a simply awesome time for Mueller to make his move.
It's funny how the left, if he hadn't gone, would have been all up his ass about 'not having a dialog' with a nation with that many nukes, and how it would lead to war, but since he did talk to Putin, it's all bad.
Kind of the same thing the left said about North Korea and the president was going to bring us into a nuclear war. So, he talked to N.K., now the left is saying that it was a failure, etc., etc. \
Don't you guys get confused with all that position flip-flopping?
It's funny how the right continuously mis-characterizes the people on the left, based on their own failings. Aren't you getting tired of all the "whataboutisms"? I know I am, but is a sure sign when you have nothing else to defend your beliefs (paid for or not) with.
1. Trump is a pathological liar. What are the chances he would tell the truth about what was said in his one on one meeting with Putin? I would say the chances of his being completely honest about that private meeting are zero. His rampant personal dishonesty, in and of itself, should have prevented him from being "permitted" to meet with the Russian dictator one on one.
2. Trump has acted as if his meeting with Putin might be a part of averting nuclear war, but I don't think it is a critical concern right now for everyone else.
3. Not much is happening for him right now on the domestic scene, as Congress won't pass anything during an election season, so he wants these foreign meetings to distract everyone from his mounting troubles stemming from the investigation.
4. Trump is the most awkward and unsure president we have seen in a long long time. That seems surprising to some, but not those who pay attention. He is physically stiff and awkward, his public speaking skills are abysmal, and in off the cuff situations he repeats himself constantly and jumbles up his thoughts.
5. "It's funny how the left, if he hadn't gone, would have been all up his ass about 'not having a dialog' with a nation "
Total nonsense.
Yeah, juvenile name calling is always a precursor to successful negotiations ( or failed negotiations as in this case ).
NK is still producing nukes. WE conceded a LOT in that deal, NK hasn't changed a thing. In no way at all was the NK talks a win.
He is.
You forgot BELIEVE ME......LOL, only gullible fools believe anything that comes out of this POS's mouth.
Rep. Paul Ryan is a Supply Sider. That is it. Nothing more to it. He has always been and will continue to be nothing more than a grocery clerk for the autocrats. That is where he is comfortable and feels the most appreciated. Cut the taxes---move the money up---keep the money up---cut the taxes some more. It is the simplest philosophy of all.
As far as Paul and the Helsinki thing? Ahh, he's leaving and stepping into a consulting gig paying $1.1 Million a year. And who are the suckers? Snicker---snicker.
As the old saying goes. "You like Trump---------------you eat him."
I'll begin to listen to Mr. Ryan when he fires up the Articles of Impeachment, until that time He is white noise.
Paul Ryan also said that the proof that Russia did meddle in our election process is not really disputable.
Fox news is in full spin mode, they are now saying that the meddling was designed to "scare" Hillary, not help trump... LMAO!!!!
The left is anti-Trump and the right (at least the establishment) is anti-Russian so neither is being impartial. The fact that Russia is not our ally doesn’t make them our enemy. Because they aren’t our enemy, Trump’s statement can’t possibly constitute treason or any crime whatsoever warranting impeachment.
Our intelligence community said that Russia “meddled” in our election. The word “meddled” has never been fully defined but the intelligence community certainly didn’t say that the meddling affected the outcome of the election. Also, the intent of the meddling was never clear and could have been simply to embarrass Hillary since NOBODY (including Trump) thought Trump would win. Yet the left constantly implies that the meddling affected the outcome of the election and delegitimizes Trump’s presidency. I think it’s this innuendo that Trump resents (that the Russians won the election for him) and is probably all he’s babbling about. It’s not surprising that he would express it since he’s been saying the same damn thing every time the subject comes up and the only difference here is that he said it in Putin’s presence . . . adding to it that Putin has a convincing denial (like that means something).
So to me, this is a lot to do about nothing.
Trump doesn't care whether Russia is our ally. They've been his ally, and that's all he cares about.
He's sucking on Putin's teat so he can still get loans from Russian banks since no US banking institution will touch this POS, BELEIVE ME.
