1. Trump COMPLETELY Humiliated On Sunday Talk Show After Flubbing Basic World History (VIDEO)

By Sarah MacManus - July 31, 2016

Donald Trump defends Vladimir Putin and tells George Stephanopoulos that Russia is not going to go into Ukraine, even though Russia infiltrated Ukraine in 2014.

‘Just so you understand. He’s not going to go into Ukraine, all right? You can mark it down and you can put it down, you can take it anywhere you want.’

3. Trump seems pretty sure about that based on his statement.

Is he getting national security briefings from Russia too?

4. Ah, he’s only kidding...

You should know that...

13. I'm more flabbergasted by his not knowing

what's on his own platform.

2. Hey, f*ckmuppets! This is why you don't vote for stupid people with no foreign policy experience! nt

7. he "knows more than the generals do" ... believe him

[lapislzi]

6. NPR jumping through hoops to sanitize this

Apparently (as if trump was capable of complex rationcination, which he clearly is not), since Crimea is a predominately Russian-speaking region, Russia just "assumed" that it was Russian territory all along, so, no biggie. Same with the Baltic states. They'll quietly get "absorbed" as if nothing was going on. Because...Putin. Not weak!

12. who said this? is Kevin Klose back on the job?

seriously....what show was that on, and who said it?

thanks

can't stand most of their shows anymore......especially their 'news' coverage, and marketplace, which is on for at least an hour every weeknight in Chicago

[lapislzi]

14. It was during the 8:00 hour of Morning Edition

I did not note who was speaking. It was a man, and had it been someone whose name I recognized, I'd tell you. So, probably not a regular. I'll see if I can look it up for you.

Edit: Ian Bremmer of Eurasia Institute.

8. I guess Trump don't really know his history..makes stuff up..eh??

15. Trump: "President Obama has been the most ignorant president in our history"

9. I am somewhat surprised they are actually holding his feet to the fire. THANK GOD!

16. the MSM need to listen to Rob Reiner ...

and watch at 3:15 in this video:

"When he starts to obfuscate, ask him again, ask him again, ask him again, until he refuses to answer, and then you say, 'well clearly you are refusing to answer.'"

[AgadorSparticus]

18. Rob Reiner hits it spot on! The media has been extremely complacent in their journalistic duties.

And for the blond woman and Joe Scarbrough to get that defensive reiterates the fact that they absolutely SUCK at what they do.

Waah, waaa. He goes around in circles. waaa, waaah. We can't get him to say anything. OMG!! You're a freaking journalist. You're the professional. It is your JOB to get him to answer with the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th tier question. Rob Reiner is absolutely correct in that. And they got mad because Rob is right and it showed their incompetence.

10. I have become very fond of the NY Daily News!!!

Those covers are hard to miss and always right on target!!

17. Trump Tries to Clarify After Mistakenly Saying Russia Has No Forces in Ukraine

by ELIZABETH MCLAUGHLIN
Aug 1, 2016

Donald Trump attempted today to clarify his comments that Russian President Vladimir Putin did not have forces in Ukraine.

“When I said in an interview that Putin ‘is not going into Ukraine, you can mark it down,’ I am saying if I am President. Already in Crimea!” Trump tweeted. “So with all the Obama tough talk on Russia and the Ukraine, they have already taken Crimea and continue to push. That’s what I said!”
