President Donald Trump proved to Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday that he is nobody’s puppet — not Putin’s, not the Deep State’s, and not the establishment media’s. Like the moral strength he showed in Charlottesville, VA, last year, Helsinki should be remembered as one of Trump’s finest moments.
snip--President's response to Charlotte
Almost a year later, Trump is still walking around with the flaming arrows in his back over Charlottesville, simply because he told the truth about Charlottesville. Which brings me to what happened Monday in Helsinki.
Once again, and this time with the help of that dirty cop, Special Counsel Robert Mueller, the establishment media and the Deep State believed they had rigged events to a point where Trump was cornered, where he would have no choice but to publicly berate Putin on the national stage for the sin of “interfering in our elections.”
What the media wanted was to emotionally blackmail Trump into creating an international scene, a YouTube moment with Putin, where the president would violate every diplomatic norm to publicly shame and berate the Russian president.
Why do you think Dirty Cop Mueller dropped his kangaroo indictment (more on this below) just a few days before the Putin summit? It was all coordinated and staged, it was the behavior of spoiled children desperate to get their way.
Wisely, for the good of his country and out respect for the truth, Trump refused to jump in the trap. And now the spoiled children who once again did not get what they want, are having a national tantrum. And moral cowards, like House Speaker Paul Ryan (God bless Rand Paul), are terrified of these spoiled media babies and are seeking only to appease them.

"Most of all, we are required to forget that this is the same IC that missed the fall of the Soviet Union, missed 9/11; that led us into a harrowing and pointless war in Iraq; that used a dossier filled with Kremlin-fed propaganda to frame Trump; that lionizes proven liars like James Clapper, Dirty Cop James Comey, and John Brennan; that hands ego-maniacal monsters like Peter Strzok extraordinary power (and still has him on the payroll); that uses a kangaroo indictment that says the Russians hacked the DNC, even though no one in law enforcement has inspected the DNC server.
"Sorry, but when the American IC is not incompetent, it is corrupt in ways that would not be believed in fiction."
Great analysis
Agree but don’t think he should have clarified anything
They are down to their final gambit. Drag it out past November and hope to retake Congress. If they win, they can shut down all the investigations and threaten impeachment. If they lose, they all go to jail. It’s all in at this point.
That comment by Trump yesterday seems downright ridiculous to me. If the day before was his finest moment, well, it was short-lived.
That doesn't come close to the "I'll be more flexible after the election" debacle by The One.
I’m guessing the pressure was coming from Bolton and Coates. They probably both threatened to resign. There are very few people in his government who will stick by him. Must pray for his unflinching courage
He should have just left it and if necessary explain it to his team but no doubt his team isn’t really with him and demanded a public pull back
Absolutely right. I believe that the majority of Americans want to see these deep state coup plotters, and the crooked Clinton cabal, face the consequences of their actions. That means that the the voters will definitely NOT be voting anyone into office who would even entertain for a second any notion of shielding the deep state or the Clinton cabal.
The lefties, along with RINOs and many so-called "conservatives" were out to torpedo this meeting from the start. Certainly the timing of the indictments against the 12 russians was not coincidence, and calling Vlad a liar when he denied trying to influence the election would not have been productive.
From Memes of the Conservative Curmudgeon. Probably the best page (next to the FR) on Facebook.
Are we sure Trump didn’t know that Rosenstein was going to do this? I think this strengthened Trump’s hand, and made him look even better in Putin’s eyes...
Trump, today at his 2:00 presser, should troll the swamp and go to the mic and say... I had a private chat with Putin and I told him to ‘cut it out.’ That will prove to the swamp that Trump is taking this serious.
Needs repeating.

IU'm going to share this widely among my friends.
Bttt
This new world order Papa Bush spoke of requires an enemy to rally against, to defend against and spend, spend, spend against, but I don’t think the actual enemy is Russia.
The enemy is within, here, there and elsewhere around the world, and up until recently it has been the hidden hand pulling our strings, unseeable, untouchable and unaccountable.
President Trump and all he brings with him are this century’s liberators, not just here, but also in North Korea, soon in Iran and elsewhere.
President Trump said what he has said for thirty years;
We are in this social, political and economic mess because stupid people made stupid deals and pre-candidate, candidate, President elect and President Trump has repeatedly and consistently said the stupid deals would be negated, vacated or re-negotiated.
THAT'S what he said standing beside Putin, who added ... "Who said we trust each other?"
Levin is good, too. Excerpt of text from Levin on Hannity.
Levin: ‘Trump hasn’t done a thing to harm America with respect to Russia’

“I want the American people — forget about the media — I want you to know something: In 1945, at the Yalta conference, Franklin Roosevelt sold out half of Europe to Stalin. He repeatedly praised Stalin. … In 1961, JFK met with Khrushchev. JFK told a friend of his that he was rolled over, that he came across weak, that it was pretty disastrous, his meeting with Khrushchev, and a few weeks later, what do they do? The Soviets are shipping missiles to Cuba, and they’re building a wall in Berlin. In 1975, Gerald Ford in Helsinki with Brezhnev, 35 other countries recognized the territorial sovereignty of the Soviet Union, which included the captive nations of Eastern Europe. In 1979, Jimmy Carter placed a big wet kiss on Brezhnev’s cheek in Vienna. All this hysteria about this press conference. … They act like it’s the apocalypse. It’s not.” Levin said.
Do you think that Putin wants to escape the NWO deep state? Is it possible for anyone to get out? I don’t think so, unless they are used by God like Paul. St Paul, not Ryan..LOL
