Odds that Russia has something on Trump?
Even before yesterday's stunning announcement, Trump has spent his entire presidency sticking up for Putin, heaping praise on Putin, refusing to say anything negative about Putin, having 2 hour closed door meeting with Putin and not briefing his top intelligence people, not making a transcript of the meeting, and pushing back against additional sanctions against Russia for their aggressive actions and human rights violations in places like Georgia and Crimea, not to mention back in Russia, where journalists or ex-government officials who speak out against Putin are routinely killed during "robberies" or poisoned to death.
Now he's inviting the former KGB agent, and most likely a huge entourage of other KGB agents, to Washington just prior to the mid-term elections. Ever since he was elected rumors have swirled that Russia has video and/or tapes of Trump in extremely compromising positions, that if made public, would at the very least hurt him with his evangelical and female bases. So, what do you think the odds are that Putin does indeed have "something" on Trump, and that would explain his actions (or lack of actions) against the US's largest global enemy?

Read The Art of the Deal.
Trump thinks that Putin is a schmuck. The thief thinks that everybody steals. Also a 25% chance of shady international business deals.

I think there's definitely something. Trump doesn't heap praise on many people other than himself. The ones he does either has something he wants or has something he doesn't want people to know about.

Can we have this as the Trump thread now then? If guys overstep the mark just ban them.
Then we can get back to posting actual news in the news thread instead of discussing Trump all the time. |
