To ‘Find Out What Was Said’ to Putin
{ westernjournal.com } ~ Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee have blocked a move to subpoena the American translator... from the Helsinki summit to testify about the private talks between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. The panel’s top dummycrats-Democrat, Rep. scumbag-Adam Schiff, said Thursday he wanted the translator, who works for the State Department, to appear in closed session, saying Congress must “find out what was said” during the two-hour meeting. “It is incumbent on us, given what the president said publicly that was of such great concern to our country, to our NATO allies, that we find out what was said privately,” scumbag-Schiff said. The California lawmaker said he realizes it’s an “extraordinary” step to subpoena the interpreter, but added it’s also extraordinary for the president to meet alone with a U.S. adversary...This request has never been asked by previous presidents. https://www.westernjournal.com/democrats-subpoena-helsinki-translator-find-out-what-was-said-putin/?utm_source=Email&utm_medium=conservativebyte&utm_campaign=dailyam&utm_content=libertyalliance

dummycrats-Democrats Try to Stop GOP From
Grilling Social Media Companies On Liberal Bias
{ patriotnewsdaily.com } ~ Republicans were all set to question representatives from Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube on Tuesday... but dummycrats-Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee tried everything they could to keep the hearing from moving forward. In a scene that was part-grandstanding and partially a quite serious attempt to denounce concerns over Silicon Valley bias as unimportant and fanciful, dummycrats-Democrats actually held a vote to end the hearing early and move on to other business. Business like…playing more political games with Donald Trump and the Big Bad Russian Collusion Conspiracy! “This committee has oversight of the Department of Justice,” said Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA). “Our president also disparaged the Department of Justice. Are we having a hearing on that? No.” That inspired Rep. Jerrold Nadler, one of the president’s most unhinged critics in Congress, to introduce a motion to end the hearing and instead turn it into a session on Russian election meddling. The motion was defeated and dummycrats- Democrats, at long last, finally shut up and settled down to the business of the day. On the panel were Facebook’s head of global policy, Monika Bickert; Twitter policy strategist Nick Pickles, and YouTube policy chief Juniper Downs. They fielded questions from Republicans about instances of anti-conservative bias that have made headlines in recent months, protecting the companies they represent with a usual combination of feigned concern and imagined innocence. What was more interesting, actually, was the complete lack of interest on the part of the dummycrats-Democrats. In fact, dummycrats-Democrats think that these companies should be doing MORE to censor controversial content rather than less. Several lawmakers on the left pushed the executives to explain why content from sites like InfoWars and The Gateway Pundit was not banned on Facebook....

Monday's summit may have been humiliating,
but it was hardly a disaster
{ jewishworldreview.com } ~ The definition of insanity is doing the same thing again and again and expecting to get a different result, which is one of the many reasons President Trump's news conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin seemed so insane.
Trump is trying to do something that both of his immediate predecessors tried to do: turn over a new leaf with Russia. They both failed, and so will he.
Recall that George W. Bush entered the White House promising to end the "dead ideological rivalry" of the Cold War.
At a 2001 summit with Putin in Slovenia, Bush declared, "I looked the man in the eye. I found him very straightforward and trustworthy -- I was able to get a sense of his soul."
President Barack liar-nObama tried to appease Putin by giving in to the Russian leader's demands that we cancel our missile-defense plan with Poland and the Czech Republic -- and did it on the 70th anniversary of the Soviet invasion of Poland.
And while serving as liar-nObama's secretary of state, liar-Hillary Clinton humiliated herself when she gave Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov a giant red button with the word "reset" on it which, adding insult to injury, misspelled the Russian word for "reset" to read "overload".
It is now Trump's turn to learn the hard way that Russia is an adversary, not a competitor. His summit with Putin was a moment that called for presidential strength. It came on the heels of the indictment of 12 Russian intelligence agents for intervening in the 2016 election and of Russia's brazen use of a banned chemical weapon on British soil, which resulted last week in the death of a British citizen.
But instead of condemning these actions, Trump refused to acknowledge or denounce the fact of Russia's election interference, and he publicly sided with Putin over his own intelligence community.
It was a position he wisely retracted on Tuesday, declaring what he should have said standing next to Putin: "I accept our intelligence community's conclusion that Russia's meddling in the 2016 election took place."
Trump does not seem to fathom that the problem with U.S.-Russia relations is not a lack of effort on the part of U.S. presidents. Russia is the only country on Earth other than North Korea that would dare use a toxic nerve agent to attempt to carry out assassinations on foreign soil.
It is a regime that blatantly violates its nuclear and chemical weapons treaty obligations, has invaded two of its neighbors, and has threatened NATO countries and even Mar-a-Lago with nuclear annihilation.
Yet, as cringeworthy as Trump's news conference was, unlike liar-nObama, he didn't throw U.S. allies under the bus to appease Putin or take any of the actions many feared -- such as lifting sanctions or recognizing Putin's annexation of Crimea. Unlike his rhetoric, Trump's Russia policy has actually been a dramatic improvement over that of his predecessor. Trump expelled 60 Russian diplomats, approved a $47 million arms sale to Ukraine, continued the deployment of NATO forces to the Baltic states, posted troops to Poland's border with Russia and levied new sanctions against Moscow for violating the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty.
During his first year in office, he got NATO allies to increase their defense spending by $12 billion and twice bombed Putin's ally, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, for his regime's use of chemical weapons. If Putin was looking for a more pro-Moscow policies from the United States, his election interference backfired in a big way.
Critics say, words matter -- and they are right. But if words matter, then Trump's critics should be careful what they say. In many cases, their responses to Trump's news conference have matched the president in absurdity. scumbag-John Brennan, the CIA director under liar-nObama, tweeted that "Donald Trump's press conference performance in Helsinki rises to & exceeds the threshold of 'high crimes & misdemeanors.' It was nothing short of treasonous."
And Senate Minority Leader Charles E. clown-Schumer, D-N.Y., declared, "A single, ominous question now hangs over the White House. What could possibly cause President Trump to put the interests of Russia over those of the United States?"
As always, Trump's critics bail him out by overplaying their hands. A news conference, however humiliating, is not an impeachable offense. And conspiracy theories aside, there is a simple explanation for Trump's performance in Helsinki: He is deeply wrong on Russia. He thinks he can charm Putin into behaving like a normal leader. He'll learn that Putin is KGB to his core, just as those before him learned.
When should we be worried? When Trump's actions match his rhetoric. Until then, Trump's summit was simply an embarrassment, not a disaster.
