I don’t accept the premise of that post, unless you are talking about Obama before the election.

You don’t accept the premise that Russia is trying to undermine our democracy? Or that the president seems disinclined to acknowledge it?

Lets look at the Politico take on it:

“Later in the day, Trump tweeted again about the former president and Mueller’s indictment, this time accusing Obama of not executing further countermeasures against the Kremlin “Because he thought Crooked Hillary Clinton would win” the 2016 election.”

POLITICO

Trump blames Obama for Russian election meddling

The president asked why the Obama administration didn't “do something about" Russia's cyberattacks.

Trump could hardly be accusing Obama of not taking countermeasures unless Russia had done something requiring countermeasures.

You have to remember, blaming Obama for something is reason enough to do anything. He isn’t indicating we should do anything about Russia attacks on our elections, he just wanted to blame Obama because.

So why was he scared to say it in front of Putin?

The Obama administration told trump, et all what Russia was doing. trump ignored it. Why do you think he did that?

calirepub · 2018-07-17T17:35:34.953Z

Because it was helping him.

Donald looks out for his friends and destroys his enemies. It’s what a deal-maker does. You won’t want to get on his bad side.

OK, I’ll grant that he’s acknowledged it, even though he only did so in that instance to take a swipe at Obama. What steps has he taken to ensure the credibility of our looming midterms, beyond his preposterous claims of Democratic voter fraud? If he acknowledges there’s a problem, shouldn’t he do something about it?

Did you just say honest when describing Trump?

That’s not the word I’d use.

He is. He is also transparent.

He’s not perfect, but he’s better than the alternative, Mike Pence.

If Trump shot somebody on Barack H. Obama Avenue would he lose any voters?

ABC7 San Francisco

100,000 sign petition to rename 5th Avenue in front of Trump Tower after...

What started out as a joke to rename Trump Tower's address to 725 President Barack H. Obama Avenue now has more than 100,000 signatures, but don't expect a name change any time soon.

The Republican Party has gone from Lincoln at his first inaugural saluting the better angels of our nature to now, a celebration of the behaviors of Donald Trump and a gleeful modelling of his approach.

Republican voters have values, unlike libs, and aren’t afraid of disagreeing with our President when he’s wrong.

Can you name some instances of this?

Points to a sad state in the Republican party when these two are the best we can do.

Pathological liars are naturally smarter than other people. They have so many things they need to keep track of in order to not sound foolish

Except Trump fails to keep track of his lies on pretty much a daily basis

Lol, you kind of got that one backwards, Trump is the one who can’t tell a convincing lie, Obama was much better at it.

At least you admit trump is a liar. Progress.
