Ponderable

Funny, I didn't hear him say that, I did however hear him tell Angela to stop buying fuel from Russia a couple of days before.

Well here's Rachel Maddow's review. There's video.
And I know you're going to say but Rachel Maddow blah blah blah. I'm just posting it as a conversation starter. Read it through and if there are any of her points you disagree then let's talk about it.

In disastrous press conference, Trump defended Putin, blasted Americans
http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-...ce-trump-defended-putin-blasted-americans/amp

The meeting still would've been controversial -- there was no reason for Trump to reward Putin like this, especially in exchange for nothing -- but the gathering in Helsinki didn't have to be an abject disaster for the White House.

But it was. After watching the post-talks press conference, it's suddenly vastly easier to believe Donald Trump has been compromised in some way by the foreign adversary that attacked the United States in order to put Trump in power.

At a press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin on foreign soil, President Donald Trump attacked fellow Americans -- Democrats, Special Counsel Robert Mueller and members of the news media -- for damaging U.S.-Russia relations by pursuing questions about Moscow's efforts to help him win the presidency in 2016. [...]

Trump also touted several conspiracy theories related to the election, asking about the 33,000 Hillary Clinton emails he has long claimed are missing, the whereabouts of a computer server at the Democratic National Committee, and the activities of a former House Democratic staffer who some conspiracy theorists have alleged penetrated lawmakers' computers.

This is one of those important political moments that had to be seen to be fully believed. Some of the takeaways from my quickly scribbled notes:


* Putin, standing alongside Trump, insisted Russia never interfered in U.S. elections. This faced no pushback whatsoever from the American president.

* Despite the fact that he was on foreign soil, standing next to an American adversary, Trump condemned "obstructionist" congressional Democrats.

* Asked if he holds Russia accountable for "anything in particular," Trump said he blames both countries for the deteriorating relationship, before adding that the United States has been "foolish." He never got around to criticizing Russia for anything.

* As part of the same exchange, Trump proceeded to brag about his election victory and condemn the Mueller investigation -- which three days ago produced an indictment against 12 Russian intelligence officials, connecting Putin's government directly to the attack. Trump proceeded to call the probe a "disaster."

* When a reporter asked Putin why anyone should believe his denials about election interference, Trump jumped in, defended Russia, and started talking about the Electoral College.

* Trump continued to peddle the Imran Awan conspiracy theory, which we already know is ridiculously untrue.

* Asked specifically if he believes American intelligence professionals or Putin, Trump gave every indication that he considers the latter more credible -- Trump praised Putin's "strong and powerful" denial, effectively endorsing the Russian leader's line -- before whining for quite a while about Hillary Clinton emails. (Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats was mentioned by name as someone whose judgment Trump chooses not to fully believe. The appropriate move would be for Coats to resign today.)

* Despite the Republican line that Russia simply wanted to create division and chaos in 2016, Putin conceded today that he wanted Trump to win.

* Asked if he has incriminating information about the American president, Putin laughed, denied knowing Trump was in Russia a few years ago, but did not directly answer the question.

* At no point did Trump condemn Russian election interference -- apparently because Trump doesn't really believe there was any Russian election interference.

Historians can speak to this with more authority, but this may have been the worst performance on an international stage for any American president, ever. Trump traveled to Finland, defended an American adversary, took cheap shots at Americans, and rejected the judgment of American intelligence professionals. I felt like I was watching our president launch an assault on his own office, siding against his own country, for reasons the White House will struggle to defend.

And this was Trump's public performance. It's worth taking a moment to consider what, exactly, Trump told his Russian benefactor in private.

Former CIA Director John Brennan wrote on Twitter, "Donald Trump's press conference performance in Helsinki rises to & exceeds the threshold of 'high crimes & misdemeanors.' It was nothing short of treasonous. Not only were Trump's comments imbecilic, he is wholly in the pocket of Putin. Republican Patriots: Where are you?"

That need not be a rhetorical question.
 
I had a girlfriend once who went for a weekend Las Vegas Elvis trip with her BFF. We almost broke up over it.

I was just talking to a guy at a bar who told me a story about getting backstage pass for him and his girlfriend to a Joan Jett show, and Joan Jett ended up stealing her away. Like he ended up going home and the girlfriend stayed behind. lol All he said was they were together for a long time he heard...

Roseanne Barr on Valerie Jarrett tweet: ‘I thought the b—h was white’

Roseanne Barr spoke out relatively unapologetically about the vile Valerie Jarrett tweet that got her “Roseannereboot canceled: “I thought the b—h was white!”

In a video posted to Barr’s YouTube page, a slightly disheveled Barr, 65, smokes a cigarette while talking to a producer about a previous video that was thoroughly edited.

After a loud groan, an agitated Barr lashes out at her interviewer when asked about her now-notorious tweet in which she claimed the former Barack Obama adviser was a creation of the Muslim Brotherhood and “Planet of the Apes.”

“I’m trying to talk about Iran! I’m trying to talk about Valerie Jarrett about the Iran deal,” Barr roars in the clip. “That’s what my tweet was about. I thought the bitch was white, goddammit. I thought the bitch was white. F–k!”

The tweet got the “Roseanne” reboot canceled on May 29, after which Barr was initially extremely contrite and blamed Ambien for her scathing commentary.

Barr previously claimed that her tweet was a commentary on anti-Semitism, writing, “Rod Serling wrote ‘Planet of The Apes.’ It was about anti-semitism. That is what my tweet referred to – the anti semitism of the Iran deal. Low IQ ppl can think whatever they want.” She also said her tweet was “insensitive” but “not racist.”

In late June, Barr told Rabbi Shmuley Boteach that she made herself into a “hate magnet” with her unhinged tweets, which also included calling George Soros a Nazi.

She’s since apologized to Soros.

“I said to God, ‘I am willing to accept whatever consequences this brings because I know I’ve done wrong. I’m going to accept what the consequences are,’ and I do, and I have.’ But they don’t ever stop. They don’t accept my apology, or explanation. And I’ve made myself a hate magnet. And as a Jew, it’s just horrible. It’s horrible,” she said on the podcast.

She added that her tweets “didn’t mean what they think I meant … But I have to face that it hurt people. When you hurt people even unwillingly there’s no excuse. I don’t want to run off and blather on with excuses. But I apologize to anyone who thought, or felt offended and who thought that I meant something that I, in fact, did not mean. It was my own ignorance, and there’s no excuse for that ignorance.”

“I’ve lost everything,” Barr lamented at the time. “And I regretted it before I lost everything.”

After the outrage, ABC greenlit a 10-episode Conner family sitcom without Barr in it. The show is set to air this fall.

Fox News’ Eboni Williams on National Anthem Protest: ‘When Else Is a Better Time to Protest?’
9EmailGoogle+Twitter

20 Jul 201844
Friday while debating the NFL’s currently suspended new National Anthem policy that requires players to either stand on the field or remain in the locker room, Fox News anchor and Fox Sports 1 “Undisputed” moderator Eboni Williams questioned those who oppose the timing of the anthem protests, asking when a better time would be than when everyone’s eyes are on them.


“What you cannot do in this country, to my knowledge, is tell free, grown folks what they will or will not do, particularly when, like [Jurrell] Casey, they are willing to pay the cost of disrupting that process,” Williams stated. “And to the people that say, ‘Well, you can protest, but don’t do it during the anthem, don’t do it during the game.’ Well, when else is a better time to protest and bring awareness and change about your issue of concern than when you’ve got the eyeballs of millions of people across this country, and across this world when your helmets are off?”

She continued, “Those helmets are off, the cameras are panning, you’ve got the attention of the country and the world. That is, of course, when you are going to take that opportunity. Why? Because you have earned it. You have earned that platform, and you should use it to the best interest of your community.”
