Trump made another secret call to Putin yesterday.

[kentuck]

Rachel can add that one to her list.

What did they talk about?

How come we had to find out about it from the Russian press?

He doesn't even try to hide it anymore. He's a tool of the Russians. I don't know why we can't see the facts in front of us?

[RKP5637]

1. Sadly, and I do mean this seriously, the presidency of the US is run by Putin. It's so damn obvious

Putin has the goods on Trump. Hell, Trump won't even enforce the sanctions overwhelmingly approved by congress. And now the midterms are coming up, and agreed that Russia will hack those elections too, and Trump sits on his ass. We're in deep shit in the US, far more than told and probably than we realize. And, how much of congress and others are in on this.

[kentuck]

2. We can only imagine what they talked about??

"Vlad, it's The Donald.."

"What's the problem, Donald?"

"Well, I had to get rid of our plant, Rob Porter..."

"Who is going to replace him?"

"I don't know....didn't I do great at ignoring those 'sanctions' they put on you?

"Donald, you can't go weak on me now... we are almost ready to take over your country... This is so much easier than I ever thought..."

[orangecrush]

30. Exactly

You nailed it.

[bdamomma]

42. that's about right.

[askyagerz]

20. That's the $1000 question

You have sanctions overwhelmingly approved by congress. The public overwhelmingly approves of the sanctions. There would be no political fall out by enforcing them and it just makes anyone look guilty who doesn't. So why aren't the republican leaders marching to the oval office or whatever golf course trump is on at the moment and say you have to enforce these now.
Why not? Because they either know hes guilty and its futile or they are just as guilty. It's the only explanation. They don't need russias love to screw the poor now they're in power. They should have discarded that card by now but they're keeping it up their sleeve for some nefarious reason

[RKP5637]

22. Exactly!!! This country is likely to be even more steam rolled by these despicable asses in office.

[onecaliberal]

35. When all that same congress can do it yawn when the russian puppet doesn't implement the sancitons,

I guess it's a moot point. Anyone who still thinks putin is not in charge of America is dangerously stupid, and shouldn't be taken seriously on any level.

[kentuck]

36. The Republican Party is so weak that they cannot help Donald Trump fill necessary positions..

Who is going to replace Rachel Brand?

The State Department has been severely damaged since day one of the coup, with many jobs left unfilled.

The Republican Party has not demonstrated any intent to help Mr Trump fill all these positions? Isn't that part of their job? Or is it that The Donald does not reach out to the Republican Party?

If they ever build a statue to Incompetence, it will be a statue of Mitch McConnell, Donald Trump, and Paul Ryan.

[onecaliberal]

37. In all fairness, who would even want to work for them. The problem is for the most part there are

very good people in these positions. They are not willing to destroy or soil their reputations by working for the most inept, criminal, psychotic maladministration to ever occupy the land.

[askyagerz]

38. Maybe their own little mount rushmore

Somewhere deep in the badlands. It can become like a thing to hike out there and piss on their heads...

[Eliot Rosewater]

51. If you support trump you are a traitor, plain and simple.

I dont see how this resolves without MAJOR problems.

[BoneyardDem]

3. not so secret if its on a discussion board now, is it?

[kentuck]

4. If Reuters did not have translators for TASS...

We wouldn't know about it and neither would you. Yeah, it's very secretive.

[BoneyardDem]

5. If Reuters didn't disseminate, it would have been secret, I suppose.

please understand I'm not picking on you per se. I'm pointing out that very little seems to be very "secret" in this digital age.

[RKP5637]

6. With all respect meant, then where are Trump's tax returns? n/t

[bdamomma]

40. ha we will

never see those. What a thief he is

[RKP5637]

41. Yep, sealed forever! n/t

[kentuck]

7. Assuming that we know everything that is going on, then nothing is secret.

But we don't know what we don't know.

How long before we say, "If we had only known...?"

There are secrets left after some are exposed.

[olegramps]

15. I am not so sure my heart could take it if all the crap Trump is doing was known.

[dchill]

16. Rumsfeld's unknown unknowns, coming home to roost.

[LanternWaste]

12. I think that's the way it's supposed to "seem."

"I'm pointing out that very little seems to be very "secret" in this digital age..."

I think that's the way it's supposed to "seem."

[Perseus]

23. I think you are missing the point

The context of what was discussed is what is secret, do you have any idea what the man-child discussed with his boss? If so please tell us.

The fact that he called his boss is no longer secret, but what was discussed is.

[BoneyardDem]

31. I'm pretty sur the fact that a call was made at all, was supposed be secret.

[Initech]

8. "Daddy Vladdy, please make the bad guys go away!"

[Mr. Ected]

9. The mainstream media will not broach the subject

Until we demand that the First Amendment disallows media for profit, we'll be stuck with all the news the American oligarchs choose to print and broadcast.

[denbot]

10. We directly engaged Russian contract fighters in Syria, and killed "dozens".

I believe the news broke yesterday. Trump was apologizing to Putin, and appeasing him with some juicy intel.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/13/world/europe/russia-syria-dead.html

[kentuck]

11. That would make sense.

Thanks!

[Zoonart]

27. Yep!

[Maggiemayhem]

13. US air strike in Syria that killed Russians???

[triron]

14. I said it before and will say again; it's a fuckin conspiracy.

wtf is wrong with the media?! They know not what they do (to be biblical about it).

[Insomniac Ike]

17. The late Whitney Houston Foresaw Trump's Feelings toward Putin 33 Years Ago

[FakeNoose]

18. Guys, this is why Cheeto is tweeting at 3 A.M.

He has to be up extremely early in case he gets a call from his boyfriend. I'm sure they talk much more often than is reported in the newspapers.

There's nobody wandering around the White House at that time, so nobody can overhear the convos. But 3 A.M. here is like 11 o'clock or noon in Moscow. This is a REGULAR THING for Cheeto, he's been doing it for 2 or 3 years years. Even if Pootie doesn't call, he still has to be up to make sure he doesn't miss it.

[MelissaB]

19. Is there a link?

Thanks!

[kentuck]

21. It was mentioned on MSNBC this morning...

Either on Morning Joe or the show that followed?

[MelissaB]

48. Thanks!

[dlk]

24. Apparently, Trump Needed an Update on His Marching Orders

[Codeine]

25. Sometimes you need to hear your lovers voice.

Some Slavic sweet nothings whispered in an overworked ear after a long hard four hour day can be just the thing to refresh a man before a quick round of golf and a five course meal from the Dollar Menu.

[C Moon]

26. We'll find out in the next couple of days...

Just watch: they'll start a new set of lies—probably focused on the FBI.

[ladjf]

28. Trump's moves are stunningly treasonous, unpatriotic , mean and stupid. nt

[mac56]

29. "You hang up first." "No, YOU hang up first."

[Codeine]

33. I love you MORE! nt

[NRaleighLiberal]

32. still waiting for the hero or heroes who are going to end this nightmare!

[kentuck]

34. This is a job for the people...

There is not going to be a knight on a white stallion...

Somehow, the Party Leaders on both sides, need to come to some sort of compromise. They must understand that they are our elected leaders and it is their job to protect our Constitution and to defend our nation from all enemies, foreign and domestic.

[bdamomma]

39. I wish he would

just leave and go to Russia. I hate the jerk.

[Blue Owl]

43. Donald Trump: Breaking Vlad

[c-rational]

45. Sadly I see truth in all these posts. I want my country back.

[Botany]

46. Treason

and/or looking for a place where he and his family can flee to.

[DownriverDem]

47. Most of us can

it's just that the folks in charge of everything - repub House & Senate - are protecting trump. Why? Could it be that the repubs in DC have taken money from the russians too?

[meow2u3]

49. Meanwhile, in Congress...

...the treason enablers look the other way while the Treasonous Tangerine sells us out to the russkies.
And then, they turn around and call us traitors?!

[Meowmee]

50. I hope

Someone is listening in.

[Zen Democrat]

52. It's transparently obvious that the Russians are running Trump. That he's still "President" stuns me

[UCmeNdc]

53. Has anyone published a complete list of all of Trump's contacting and messaging with Putin?

Do we as Americans have a right to know what Trump is discussing with Putin?

[red dog 1]

56. K&R

I hope it's true!

If so, more grist for the mill. (For impeachment)
