I would agree with that. There is a difference between statements like that and him proposing a course of action.
Quote:Regarding the matter at hand, I don't think he'll follow through with that and let Russians do the investigations on themselves and on US citizens. Yeah, that won't happen. That doesn't mean that what he said is irrelevant and not worth a mention. An US president embarrassing himself and the country matters.
While I agree that Trump's words were ill advised I think the outrage over them has been a bit hyperbolic. No, he should not have intimated that he believes Putin over our own intelligence services. I was listening to Howard Stern yesterday and he made a very good point, IMO. He pointed out that Trump seems to feel that acknowledging Russian interference somehow diminishes his electoral victory and thus his authority. hence his reluctance to flat out admit the obvious.
Quote:If you don't think he embarrassed himself and the country, because he just said words or for whatever reason, there's only half a country in the whole world seeing it like that.
As for your gun fight with Dino, I don't want to get into that. I believe you when you say you were right in said thread.
I'll take your word for it.
