He has gone full Putin

[orangecrush]

Does anyone here doubt it now, that this was the sole purpose of his presidential ambitions?

[MoonRiver]

1. Except he's NOT Putin.

He doesn't have the muscle: intellectual, physical or political to pull off a coup. He's a desperate little man, who will soon be facing a devastating array of federal and state charges.

[Skraxx]

3. And The US is NOT Russia!

Putin may have an unpleasant surprise at how his tactics go over in the US.

[MoonRiver]

18. Exactly!

[bdamomma]

23. I don't know

about that, Putin is spreading his poison all over and now we are out of the picture on the world stage he is an antagonist.

[CrispyQ]

5. Damn, I wish I shared your optimism.

I agree he's no Putin, but he's gotten away with everything so far. I hope someone has a plan.

[Thomas Hurt]

6. When he loses the election, that Pig is going to try something maybe anything to stay in power.

If the GoP can't throw the election through their usual malfeasance, he is going blame, incite and sue to stay in office.

He won't get away with it, but you watch he will try.

[lapfog_1]

8. problem is... he isn't smart enough to realize that

and might try anyway.

He has the backing of enough racist idiots to cause a lot of harm on his way to oblivion.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

9. He's more like Yanukovych.

A fellow Putin puppet and former client of Paul Manafort.

[orangecrush]

15. This is some bigly shit

He is fortifying the White House because he has zero intention of leaving when he is voted out.

The peaceful protesters are not being covered.

The rioting is getting 24/7 coverage.

The effect is to scare the piss out of red state voters, ensuring their turnout and aporoval of whatever illegal methods Trump uses for repression - at frirst in the streets, and later against Democrats

There was a sudden spike in racial tensions leading up to the 2016 election, as you may remember.

The current chain of events is, imo, no coincidence or accident.


From Alexsandr Dugin, "Putin's Rasputin" -

"In the United States:

Russia should use its special services within the borders of the United States to fuel instability and separatism, for instance, provoke "Afro-American racists". Russia should "introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics".[9]"

Which is EXACTLY WHAT WE ARE SEEING!!!!!!

17. Russian propagandists have been hip to stoking racial strife for quite a while.

Kremlin propagandist Konstantin Rykov--who claims to have run an operation out of Russia to get Trump elected in 2016--briefly set up a US based Twitter account devoted almost solely to the protests surrounding Michael Brown's killing in 2014.

It's a measure to gain a captive audience, I think. And can play to both sides if necessary to get double the effect.

[orangecrush]

20. That's the m.o.

Create chaos.

Play opposing sides off each other, destabilize the center.

They are getting help from some someone here high in financial circles.

The Mercers are my first guess.

You saw through the bullshit from day one.

[bdamomma]

24. Putin

saw the discontent among the American public and it was ripe for the picking he got his puppet and here we are.

[orangecrush]

25. Yes.

[malaise]

21. THIS

His last Con is coming to an end

[shockey80]

2. He is a fucking coward, Don't let him fool you.

[SoonerPride]

4. Nah. He's a terrified little scared shitless weasel.

He is losing BADLY and each move makes him look weaker and more frantic.

He knows he is going to lose.

He is terrified.

[orangecrush]

16. And he is in the White House

And is preparing it for an armed conflict.

Nothing to worry about.

[SCantiGOP]

7. Five countries being destroyed by an autocrat

US
Russia
Turkey
Brazil
India

All five are still democracies and can be saved if their countries wake up and use the ballot box to overthrow their despots.

The virus and riot news are pushing everything else out of the news cycle.

[orangecrush]

13. 100% TRUE

The peaceful protesters are not being covered 24/7.

The rioters are!

The intended effect is imo, to scare the living shit out of red state voters, guaranteeing I their turnout, and support for whatever illegal and repressive tactics Trump employs.

I live in a rural area, and can tell you from what I see here, it's fucking working like a charm.

The end goal is full, unfettered autocratic power.

Similar to the "businessman's plot" against Roosevelt, but with megabucks behind it from many sources, including Russia.

The progression of events we are seeing is neither accidental or coincidence.

[Newest Reality]

10. These kinds hide behind lies and deceit:

Cowards. His Depends would be soiled if he found himself out in the crowd right now.

[kickitup]

11. I don't know the answer, but I do know I'm scared for all of us.

I am scared for the people of this country. I think he plans to do something terrible and that is why he is fortifying the White House. I have never felt this way before in my life about my government. Maybe that comes from a place of privilege and if it does, I don't mean to discredit the struggles of any other person. I literally said to my neighbor, "What in this world is going to happen to all of us?" Then I think I'm crazy for thinking things like that.

[duforsure]

12. Hillary was right , he is putins puppet

Watch , soon he'll be declaring or demanding all sanctions against him be lifted. After watching and hearing trump and the GOP promote russian propaganda knowingly about Ukraine for putin shows trumps loyalty is to him , not to us. All while claiming he wants to make America great again BS. That's why he is fighting so hard to hide his taxes, he's been criminally involved with putin , and his russian friends, and many others.

[orangecrush]

14. Precisely

Action needs to be taken by Democrats.

This is not a drill.

Pull the gloves off, or be beaten to the ground.

[Azathoth]

19. He's always been Putin minus the competence and 60 IQ points nt

[TheBlackAdder]

22. Trump & Putin are just like TWINS
