Serious question and please keep the response on topic and concise
There are enough Russia threads so stay away from what Trump Jr may or may not have done
Does anyone left or right think this is a smart move?

When asked specifically by Tapper about those two compounds, Gorka said the United States needs to find ways to work with Russia.
"We want to give collaboration, cooperation, a chance," Gorka said. "The fact is we may not share the same philosophy. We may not share the same type of statesman view of the world. But the fact is there are some issues of common concern."

Fvck no. Once they leave the Ukraine, maybe but let them know one more incident we will release the Obama cyber bombs he left behind.

Regarding collaboration with Russia: It was attempted roughly five years ago. The same thing happens each time this is attempted with the Russian Federation: Nice words about cooperation, then furiously working behind the scenes to impede, slow down, or actively break whatever they're supposed to be doing. The current regime in Russia has proved uncooperative.

You can move forward on areas of common interest without surrendering unconditionally on serious attacks carried out in the past. If Russia's requirements for cooperation are that they face no consequences for past actions then they aren't serious about cooperation anyway.

So no, this is just another example of the bizarrely obsequious behavior of this administration towards a hostile foreign power.

Gorka is a despicable waste of human flesh. His doctorate is fake. He can't get a security clearance because of his past. All he does is appear as a talking head on cable news shows. He can't take a single bit of criticism as he blocks (twitter) anyone that isn't swallowing the team Trump load entirely.

He's a perfect microcosm of this shitty admin.

Oh, and there's a fantastic phone call recording where Gorka goes after a republican wonk for daring to question his quals on twitter. Think the guy's last name is Smith. His pathology would be amazing for some lucky shrink.

Eff them and eff any country that is actively expanding or trying to expand in this day and age. IMO international law should be that if you eff with anyone's borders, militarily or otherwise, you lose territory instead. Instant open season on you from everyone else until you back the eff down.

EDIT: Is there some new profanity filter on posting now? Until I changed f*ck to eff I was blocked from posting...

Russian government has made certain that they are now a chief area of concern for the U.S.

They need to make several moves (pulling out of Crimea for starters) before we should show them anything but the door.

I don't know if it's a forum issue or Tapatalk issue, but I can't spell the word N-I-G-H-T anymore...The N-I-G triggers a filter or something and it shows up as "***ht".

Fake Interview. Possibly a hologram, even. CNN/Acosta confirmed months ago that Gorka is being pushed out.

The opinions of a nazi sympathizer and fraud have been duly noted, and summarily tossed into the trash.


Next.

It really says something that Gorka might be the most competent PR person the white house has right now. I mean, they can't exactly put Conway up there and look like they know anything.



Gorka is right, by the way: It's time to move on. Russia won, get over it people. We should just accept that american exceptionalism is dead and we are now a giant Russian proxy state like Abkhazia. If we cannot even impeach Trump, then we cannot govern ourselves.

you don't know what the word 'expected' means apparently.

it's a shame he's still in the WH, he's a fascist.

I think they just gave him a less public role, they never intended to actually boot him from the administration.

And yes he is a total ass hat.

That's what Gorka said, too, just in a different way.

Piss on all your Allies, but befriend the country that messed with your election and is messing with your Allies elections as well. Makes perfect sense. :colbert:
