Please, tell me why the statement, taken directly from FAKE NEWS! earlier today, is wrong:

"If the Trump administration were not plagued with stunning incompetence, someone might have realized that welcoming Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Russia's ambassador to the United States, Sergei Kislyak, on a day when Trump was being accused of trying to quash an investigation into his campaign's ties with Russia, was an extraordinarily stupid thing to do."

Because its an opinion, so not quantifiable as right or wrong?
That's my guess, but I have no opinion on the quality of the post. Maybe a bad idea for previous administrations, barely registers for this one.

Since said investigation has turned up zero evidence of collusion (unless they have something they're not telling the public) after five months of investigation, should the president change his schedule based on every baseless accusation?

I don't know that it is wrong.

But there is something to be said for not breaking too quickly from
tradition observed by the previous administration albeit with liberal,
not Russian, terrorists.

At the same time we need to remember that Comrade Obama was more
responsible for electing Trump than Russia. we need to give credit
where credit is due.

Didn't take y'all long to line up your "why we're not responsible for the nut that we chose in our primary and voted for in the general" talking points.

No worries - expecting a Republican to own anything they do would be like expecting to see a black swan collide with a freaking unicorn on the ride in this morning.

Watching this group, especially the conservatives who claimed they wouldn't vote for Trump, since Trump has become president has been very enlightening.

It's a progression I predicted last summer.

1. It proves media bias that they are treating that clown Trump like he's a serious candidate for the GOP nomination

2. It proves media bias that the clown Trump is being portrayed as the face of the GOP just because he won a few fragmented primaries

3. It proves media bias that the MSM is acting like that clown Trump is likely to be our nominee.

and finally...

3. It proves media bias that Trump is being portrayed as a clown, just like we all did right up until the moment he became our guy.

Trump *is* a clown, and I have said so repeatedly. That doesn't excuse what
the left is doing.

It was easy - between Johnson and Obama I never expected liberals to
do anything intelligent.

Anyone would have a very difficult time proving I didn't take
responsibility for anything I do.

Do you expect your video of the swan and unicorn to go viral?

Once again I approve of Trump's direction even if not all of his
methods. The presidency is not the place to be that confrontational -
I thought Obama proved that.

Agree. Especially the "unbiased" media.

Obama. Unqualified clown. Worshipped.

Trump. More qualified, still a clown. Vilified.

I don't know what they intend, but to my mind and the mind of a lot of
people I know, the left throws what appears to be a temper tantrum when
they don't get their way.

That's the best description I've seen of Trump yet.

Him too. But the reason a whole lot of people don't condemn him for it
is that the left is just as bad. They look like Elastic Man compared to the
dreaded Republican overreach.

Not really.

When you are famous, you can grab 'em in the pussy.

This is just an extension of what got the bastard elected.

cause and effect to some degree.

What do you want me to send for your 8th birthday? I choose that age
because you are almost as smart as out 10 year old granddaughter but
not even close to our 18 year old grandson.
