WHOA! Hold on! Stop and really think about this: a twice-impeached one term former

[Atticus]

White House occupant has just nearly wet himself as he enthusiastically praised the Russian warmonger who just invaded Ukraine---and who the US and NATO totally oppose as a war criminal--- as a "genius" and called his 190,000-man invasion force a great "peace-keeping force"!

This is not just "not normal"; the only reason this is not treason is that we are not ( yet ) officially at war with Russia. This gleeful ass-kissing of a dictator he openly envies is perhaps the most despicable public utterance in his shameful career and that is saying quite a bit. It is "giving aid and comfort" on steroids.

People who permit this type of amoral scum to survive politically in their nation DESERVE TO BE RULED BY HIM!

WHATEVER it takes----!

[tanyev]

1. And most elected Republicans and other GOP leaders continue to support him.

[Doodley]

2. Trump is clearly a Russian asset who has been working with Putin to destabilize America and put it

in the control of the Kremlin.

[MomInTheCrowd]

5. Assets don't know the end game....

[Scrivener7]

46. TFG doesn't know the end game either. He is just doing what Vlad has instructed

him to do via his and Jared's "back channels."

Because Vlad gives him money and owns him.

[NullTuples]

23. And let's not forget Russia funded multiple GOP PACs via the NRA

Including McConnell &...was it Cruz's? Who then distributed the cash to other GOP campaigns.

Oh, and the group that visited Putin on the 4th of July.

And that dinner party with Jill Stein & Putin.

And Manafort & Konstantin Kilimnik.

And milquetoast as it was, Mueller's conclusion.

And the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee's report confirming Mueller's report.

Guccifer 2.0

The Don Jr meeting.

The Trump Tower servers connected directly to Russia.

And on, and on, and on...

[BadgerMom]

26. And the Republican senators who traveled to Moscow on 7/4.

[NullTuples]

39. Second item on my list!

[BadgerMom]

43. Oops! My bad!

[yellowdogintexas]

57. not just Senators! One Congresswoman went along for the ride.........

the only House member and only woman on the trip

Kay Granger TX12 where I live.

[bdamomma]

53. Trump is owned

by Putin. Period, tRump has been kissing up to an ex-KGB'er for a very long time.

[wnylib]

63. Probably why Trump wears heavy orange makeup.

To cover the shit stains.

[bdamomma]

64. exactly

Freaking Putin Junkie... Get the fuck over there

[spooky3]

38. LOL! You tell him! Nt

[calimary]

22. So am I, Cha!

[LoisB]

17. Yep. We'll see how long he lasts over there.

6. First I've heard of this "praised the Russian warmonger"

Anybody have some links to the idiot being stupid?

[Atticus]

[KS Toronado]

40. Thanks, can't believe I missed that

[dwayneb]

61. Is Fox News now the US extension of TASS?

I don't watch to it often, but they've been referring to it as an "invasion" in quotes.

I suspect they are providing aid and comfort to Russia, with Tucker Carson at the lead.

FailedCoupGuy must enjoy proving he's an idiot, he does so real often.

[Rhiannon12866]

60. So much for "the party of Reagan," who was even tough on Gorbachev.

I visited the USSR in the late '80s with my grandmother and her peace group, they had a "sister town" there. And Russians had no love for Reagan since his tough stance caused the Soviet hardliners to clamp down on Gorbachev's progressive policies which gave the people such hope.

Not to mention, having suffered horribly during WWII, fought on their own soil, they never wanted to experience war again. There were statues and plaques everywhere you went commemorating those lost in that war. We met a woman who had been a nurse during WWII who said "Please, when you go back, tell your president that we want peace."

Between TFG and Putin, we have the anti-Reagan and the anti-Gorbachev.

[Crunchy Frog]

8. How do we know that he didn't actually wet himself?

[Atticus]

9. I guess it Depends. ( sorry---I couldn't resist! ) nt

[LoisB]

18. LOL!!

[calimary]

25. Shame on you!

Laughed so hard I almost needed some!

[DemocraticPatriot]

34. lol

[monkeyman1]

11. Deport the sob !! take his passport !! better yet , why is he still on our streets ?

[Scrivener7]

47. This. Many here are committed to ignoring the urgency of this.

[NightWatcher]

12. Remember when tfg's campaign manager went to work in Ukraine to elect a putin puppet?

Probably unrelated, right?


HOW ARE THESE PEOPLE NOT IN PRISON?

[Stuart G]

14. K and R...Thanks for posting !!

[DemocraticPatriot]

16. He shoud be renditioned

and re-educated in Guantanamo


or perhaps, some "un-disclosed location" like Vietnam...

(hey, he failed to get there when we were at war with them--- but it is never too late)

[DENVERPOPS]

29. "Re-educated""""""?????????? That is funny! NC

[DemocraticPatriot]

32. But very true. lol

[niyad]

52. That assumes there was education previously.

[wiggs]

19. dammit. how far we've fallen. nt

[DENVERPOPS]

20. I am highly suspecting that he has installed

a back channel communications channel between Moscow and Mar-a-lago and continues to receive encrypted messages daily from Putin.
This sounds like something Putin/Russians would script for him to blabber on news programs and interviews.

He had to have something like that in the White house, or why he made so many trips to his golf resorts and Mar a Lago

Hell Putin's people probably had the network completed to Mar-A-Lago before he was even installed as president......

[Samrob]

21. I am highly suspecting that your are correct! nt

[DENVERPOPS]

28. Do you suppose that for the past five years

our intelligence community has known about it, but not wanting to say anything, that would reveal that they are bugging Putin/Trump communications?????????? They are known for doing those kinds of things......

[DemocraticPatriot]

36. I suspect that our intelligence community is well aware of any such comminications,

and is forwarding them to the appropriate quarters-- in this case for the past year, to President Biden's intelligence reports...


Why "TFG" has not been 'renditioned' until now, under the secret powers of the patriot act, or whatever---
I can only attribute to the fact that Joe is "too nice a guy".

I would like to see him be a little meaner (or not see it--- what happened to Trump? nobody knows..only that he is no longer running his fat mouth on Twitter through accomplices)


The Homeland Security act and associated legislation would allow him to have Trump "renditioned" to god knows where, and no one would know any better, am I right?? Time to use Republican-authored laws against former alleged Republicans... in my humble opinion...


"providing aid and comfort to the enemy"

??!!

[Captain Zero]

44. Maybe Intel is gleaning more information

By allowing Trump to continue talking to Putin.

[Scrivener7]

49. Jared was open about this back in 2017.

[L. Coyote]

24. Soooo, there really is a pee pee tape?

Or much, much worse!

[Justice matters.]

27. "Copious evidence possible FRAUD"

[Galraedia]

31. There is either a tape or Trump at least believes there's one.

This is something that Comey mentioned Trump was concerned about. I've also never heard Trump outright deny it.

[Captain Zero]

45. I think there is a snuff tape.

His cult can handle some pissing around.

[Skittles]

30. I truly believe Covid interrupted his original plans

followed by Biden voters.....yes indeed

[L. Coyote]

35. That, and US intelligence agencies firewalling the election.

[kacekwl]

33. I believe it was Madam Speaker who said

With trump all roads lead to Russia (Putin).

[BootinUp]

37. There are always those loyalists to the crown

you know, the bad guys, in these situations.

[malaise]

48. And he's still free to spew his treasonous fuckery

That makes no sense.

[Vinca]

50. Trump and many on the right are showing their true colors right now and voters should be

paying attention. I think Trump has one motive and "tough guys" like Cruz, Hawley, etc. have another. Trump is after money, pure and simple. Banks won't touch him, but he believes if he sucks Pootie's toes long enough, rubles will flow his way to keep the evil empire afloat. Others - the Trump worshippers - are embracing brutal dictators because that's the signal their dictator, the Slobfather, has given them.

[housecat]

54. gives new meaning to the phrase "stranger than fiction"

[spanone]

58. Oh, it's treason, seems no one's willing to mention it.

[dwayneb]

62. Main stream media are afraid of him

And this is not a totally irrational fear. There will be an enemies list should our Fascist friends succeed in seizing power, and those in "left wing" news media will be at the top.

[dlk]

59. Trump has been Putin's biggest prize

Imagine, owning a US president!
