I'll grant you this: I honestly think it didn't even occur to him that such a request might be against the law, let alone bad for the country. He's not malicious; he's dangerously incompetent.

"Trump supporters always like to say what he really meant when he said what he said."

And: Trump haters always like to say what he really meant when he said what he said.

##

"This country desperately needs a uniter now."

Not yet: there's still more shit to wreck.

##

"his foreign policy is a real problem"

Only if you support commies (or are one*).

#

"It's never a good idea to assume that people who disagree with you are being willfully evil."

But you are, clod.

#

"Cross my heart and hope to die, I do NOT believe he was "crackin' wise."

No, you KNOW he was.

#

"Russia was demonstrably in possession of said emails at the time, he knew it, and he asked for them."

If so: thank Crom he did. Sure as shit American journalists weren't doin' their job.

#

"he's dangerously incompetent."

And he's free and the President (oh noes!).

#

"I honestly think it didn't even occur to him that such a request might be against the law"

It wasn't (a request), and he wasn't doin' **dastardly.

#

"let alone bad for the country"

Clinton ain't prez, so the road ahead is gold.






*or if you're an islamist...can't forget about that fine, upstanding class of would-be global tyrants


**'course, this is in the eye of the beholder...Trump could cure all cancer and all he'd get, from folks like you, is grief for puttin' a whole whack of doctors out of business

Had he employed Hanlon's Razor, it wouldn't exactly have worked to your advantage here. Just sayin'.

"Let's apply Hanlon's Razor to Trump's statement under discussion and countless others like it."

Hmm, cuz some folks are too stupid (or evil) to see a joke for what it is, Trump's to blame?

'Whatever dude.'

Let's apply Hanlon's Razor to Trump's statement under discussion and countless others like it.

It's a disqualifying condition to be *that* stupid and be President.

Ah; but, having put Hillary out there as the alternative created a conditional mitigation.
