The Donald Trump Score Card

Remember, back in the old days, when republicans accused one of being a "commie" if they even said the word Russia?

 

Trump flags and hats made in China are reportedly being held up at customs as trade war heats up

 

Those were the days. What does it say about us now that we're inviting the same brutal dictator who attacked our presidential elections to the United States on the eve of the 2018 elections?

 

Don't need a dummy of Trump---use the real thing.

 

The real Trump is too afraid to show up at a meaningful, formal press conference. He relegates it to his officials who can't keep up with his wind vane 'policy by twitter' approach and who repeatedly embarrass themselves and Trump in front of the media.

Michael Cohen Secretly Taped Trump Discussing Payment to Playboy Model

 

I agree. I watched it live.

 

This is a big deal in several ways!

 

Kinda wish you'd stop insulting penises.

Hahaha penises

 

Cohen says he has a tape. The FBI say they confiscated several tapes during the raid on Cohen's office. Giuliani says the tapes exist. Avenatti says there are several tapes and he wants them made public. This is getting real interesting.

 

Now that ISIS has been largely defeated the military industrial complex needs new enemies to justify more defense spending.
US security focus 'no longer terrorism'

The American people are being played like a violin, but some are waking up.

 

I agree the American people are being played like a violin (or balalaika). Remember Pizzagate, in which participants on these forums gave credence to that ludicrous story. Do you believe that Russian attacks on our elections are non-events? Does it concern you that our Commander-in-Chief seems to be in Putin's hip pocket? Some are waking up to how we've been played by Russia. Others apparently aren't.

 

Trump met with Putin after Putin met with Netanyahu in which they agreed to a solution involving Iranian withdraw from Syria. Is Netanyahu in Putin's back pocket? FDR met with Stalin. Was FDR in Stalin's back pocket? One out of every nine elections is influenced by another country. Analysis | The long history of the U.S. interfering with elections elsewhere
This is how things have been done for a long time. There's no need to make Russia a friend or an enemy. It would be smart to look for win win senarios with a competing nuclear power and strive for peace over politics. If evidence of collusion is ever presented I'll take is more seriously.

 

Is Netanyahu the leader of the western alliance? Did he meet with Putin after casting shade on his allies? Did Netanyahu meet with Putin in secret, and then make a public statement buying Putin's version of reality over that of his own intelligence advisors? We know what Putin and Netanyahu agreed to and how it benefited Israel. What did Trump and Putin agree to behind closed doors? Nobody but the two of them and the interpreter, including Trump's top national security advisors knows. Was FDR in Stalin's back pocket? Some would say yes. FDR seemed really trusting of the world class monster "Uncle Joe" at Yalta, and said that if he gave Stalin everything he possibly could, he thought Stalin would work with him "for a world of democracy and peace.” But Russia had been an ally then, fighting a war together with us against a formidable enemy, and Roosevelt was sick and on his way out. The Truth About "The Sick Man At Yalta" Trump has been consistently obsequious in his remarks and behavior toward Putin and the Russians, and hostile to western Europe and the western alliance. More evidence may certainly be forthcoming, but I think there's plenty now to raise suspicions of anyone other than Trump Republicans and other "useful idiots". As for "the long history of U.S. meddling", are you saying tit for tat? We should roll over for a Russian takeover because U.S. administrations, guided by Cold Warriors, Neocons, United Fruit and the Seven Sisters, did the same or worse to other countries? Not me. I live here. But I'm all for getting rid of our meddlers too.

 

Thank you for reminding us. Pizzagate was advertised as a Muslim pedophile ring run by Hillary; and, several million Trump supporters bought into it. The truth came out as a Russian fake news story and it was also pushed by Flynn's own son. It's a wonder he didn't go to prison over it!

 

The Cohen tapes don't look good for Trump. The word is out...says CNN and Giuliani has confirmed they exist.

 

Yes. let us hear from the Interperter.
