5News reports:

President Donald Trump appears to have changed his story about a 2016 meeting at Trump Tower that is pivotal to the special counsel's investigation, tweeting that his son met with a Kremlin-connected lawyer to collect information about his political opponent.

[...] That is a far different explanation than Trump gave 13 months ago, when a statement dictated by the president but released under the name of Donald Trump Jr., read: "We primarily discussed a program about the adoption of Russian children that was active and popular with American families years ago."

  So dealings with Russia are 100% OK except if Hillary was involved? Has the concept of legal/illegal just fled your brain out of frustration? Perhaps your brain is simply trying to cope with the task of defending Trump while he makes it harder and harder to do so?

  It is amazing how low the bar has gotten for the office of the President. Straight up lies don't matter, morality doesn't matter, calling the press the enemy of the people doesn't matter. Anyone defending Trump at this point is a total loon. Defend some of his policies if you really do like them, but the man himself is a walking dumpster fire.

  the degenerate scum planted in every tv news station around the country is the enemy of the people. they're nothing but anti-american propaganda agents (no matter which group of whores is in office). the fact that you act like they are the press just shows you're either really dumb or really full of shit.

    So finally we see you types regretting corporate control and monopolization?

    I dislike the major media outlets and choose to ignore them, but trying to paint them as traitorous bastards that need to be killed off is PSYCHO TALK!

    Freedom of speech which is so treasured by most of this site is out the window? You are insane, really dumb, or really full of shit. Better yet, you probably made the Hat Trick!
