If polygraphs were accurate . . .

I bet Pooty Poot can fool a lie detector test.

If one of those “Security Advisers” didn’t leak it, out of having a snit because POTUS did as he pleased; who did then. At least one head should roll from that bunch.

#37: "McMaster."

Yep, exactly. McMaster—the old Koran Kisser himself.

As I recall Putin congratulated Trump on his win so why should not Trump reciprocate? Exactly. He was just making polite smalltalk. It's no different from asking "How are you?" when you don't give a damn. Or answering "Fine," when your world is falling apart. This over-the-top Russophobia is a bit much.

OK, let’s as you say go with it for a moment.

CNN et al but CNN in particular has now evolved to a Weekly World News outfit. That is, they can tell any lie, no matter how brazen, without consequence. Indeed, the more salacious, the more clicks and viewers they (believe they) attract. This, IMO, is their modus at present. They are probing the limits of the frontiers in just how much they can lie and get away with it. This is their new business model: And to execute it properly, they need to measure just how far they can go.

This kind of lie is really quite perfect, because if it is true, it shows Trump is unstable; it means that his innermost circle of advisors is leaky and since he picked them, he’s a flake. On the other hand, if the story is a complete lie, then at least 4 non-mutually exclusive convolutions spring from it: 1: that his circle is leaky and he does not care/did NOT get furious, when he should definitely get angry at internal leaks; or 2: He’s in bed with Russia and really wants Putin to do well, and 3: He is sneaking his support of Russia behind everyone’s back. 4: Should Trump respond by denying he got angry, then he looks like he got defensive.

So it is complete stupidity, on this we surely agree; but I think CNN is working on perfecting its business model running this kind of “how long have been beating your wife” story.

This is a scientifically calculated false story, IMHO. There is no downside whatsoever in CNN running it. All they have to do is to claim their “unnamed sources” let it go and gave it to the mighty CNN, tellers of truth in an obscure and scary world.

Remember, keep your friends close but keep your enemies closer.

It’s all about anti-President Trump narrative not common sense.

Find the leaker. There would be a very short list. A close relative was one of the briefers for Clinton’s daily intel assessment. The reports are finished only hours before the briefing, maybe 10-12 staffers see it or sign off. Who would know he was fuming?

Polygraph everyone in the know. One day and you’d find the leaker.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I just saw a clip of Little Foam Rubio being asked about this horrible crime of congratulating Putin against the advice of the people who think they are in charge of what Trump does.

Little Rubio said he was far more concerned about who leaked that information to the press. For once the little guy did what was right.

The woman accusing Trump of sexual misconduct also passed a polygraph test. These tests can be manipulated .

Yes. I question anyone who suggests lie detector tests are a good way of weeding out leakers.

next the military parade for Trump on May 1st!

Didn't Anwar el-Sadat have a military parade?

Maybe it's not such a good idea.

I don’t think anyone “instructs” the president. He takes recommendations.

It is clearly an accepted principle of the recognized Law Of Nations, that they should not be meddling in one another's elections. CNN are totally confused if they believe that that in any way requires normal courtesies between National leaders. It does not.

The real problem, here, is not with our President talking to foreign heads of State. It is that people in the Academic/Media complex, which directs the Left, believe that virtue consists in the supercilious raised eyebrow approach that was applied by faculties, in their undergraduate days, to undermine whatever their parents had taught them, which did not fit the Collectivist Egalitarian cant, which passes for "thought" in Leftist Academia.
