When Trump is Finally Revealed as an Agent of Foreign Governments - Will America Wake Up? by Thom HartmannThough had I written the title the last part probably would've read, "wake the FUCK up". Anyway, the story can also be found on Rawstory and MSN.com (I think... MSN won't load on my primary browser for some reason)
Excerpts (boldened texts highlighted by me):
Trumps 2016 Campaign Manager Paul Manafort, after all, just last month admitted that during the 2016 election he was handing secret campaign polling and strategy information off to Russian intelligence, presumably so they could successfully use it to micro-target vulnerable voters via Facebook and other social media in swing states.
Trump also sucked up to arguably the wealthiest oligarch in the world, Saudi Arabias Mohammad bin Salman. Breaking with the tradition of American presidents first visiting close allies among democratic nations, Trumps first foreign trip was to Saudi Arabia, and the kingdom later gifted his family with $2 billion.
Its still unknown if or how much money they mightve transferred directly to Trump himself via one of his offshore accounts. Because Saudi Arabia is a police state, and Trump is really good at hiding his money after a lifetime of working with organized crime, well probably never know.

The gerrymandered house GOP districts are locked into trumpist loyalists because those are the only ones who can vote in those primaries. Other than that, trump has no chance to win anything. Unlike 2016, trump is a well-known quantity now. But the media will still let trump suck all the oxygen out of the news. They'll get their horse race even if they have to manufacture it out of whole cloth.

He always was.
Pretty damn obvious.
I guess others are slow to get the memo.

(8,491 posts)and Thom Hartmann and others (such as myself) have cause to wonder whether America (or enough Americans) and fully cognizant of the threat Trump and his MAGAts pose to our democracy.
We'd be SORELY remiss in thinking that THEY couldn't possibly win.
