Doturd bends over and grabs his ankles for Putin.
Putin calls the shots, supplies the $$$$.
No "wing". Just one massive treasonous pile of fascist dog shit.

(2,674 posts)McTurtle and the 3 other (R) stooges were likley told before the 2016 election that TFG was a Russian asset. But they put party over country.
Time to put country over protecting the Senate leadership and declassify that briefing (even with redacted info) except for the key words about Trump...indebted to Putin and his allies .... through DeutschBank with links to the Scalia family.
We all suspect that's what it was. Confirm or deny it. The super MAGA will stay with him.
Some may even stay with McTurtle, Leningrad Lindsay, and their loyalty to the (R) party but it would be a death blow to the party and a legitimate center right opposition party would need to emerge.

(276 posts)Turtle was in on the fix while Obama was still Prez. It was why he blocked the SCOTUS appointment. I will never, ever believe that 2016 was a straightforward win for StankMeister and the Federalistas. I guess that makes me an election denier, just like when Cheney (and lil' W) came to power.

(14,057 posts)Word on the street is that he was bad at business, and so took on laundering mob assets to "make ends meet". Only he sucked at that and got greedy. Turned out more profitable to keep what remained, sell out the mob to prosecutors, and make a deal with the Russian mob for safety.
I'd guess that's more or less where it started

The good puppy media downplayed it, of course. Their owners want tax cuts.

(3,921 posts)I remember reading somewhere that Putin/Russia offered Trump 10 Billion dollars if he would withdraw the U.S. from NATO. Im not sure where I read that but all of his actions as President seemed to validate that which I had read.

It is out in the open.

Buckeyeblue
(5,640 posts)How did it start? Who came up with/organized Trump going after Obama the way he did on the birth certificate lie? And then finally running for president. Trump doesn't seem to be a good enough planner to orchestrate all of this. Trump put himself in an interesting position with soon to be MAGAs when he went after Obama. But he couldn't have come up with that strategy.
raging moderate
(4,469 posts)That sudden special meeting between Trump and Putin, with everybody suddenly cleared out and special efforts to cut off ALL non-Russian access to it, both visual and auditory, was highly suspicious. Then, as the meeting ended, we all saw the shaken fearful look on Trump's face, plus the smug triumphant look on Putin's face.

(276 posts)Russia had their people there but we didn't have ours! In the White House! And then, TFG's statement to the world that he trusted Poots more than our own intel! I didn't think that fetid, evil bag of offal would be permitted to continue beyond that, but the press forgot all about those things in a few days, like with all his (and GOP's and SCROTUS') other major transgressions against the U.S. (but, alas, not against the stenographic press).

(46,703 posts)a disturbing amount of voters are into it. Plenty in the GOP are cheering for Russia in the Ukraine invasion. GOP are blindly ignoring Russia's ties to Iran, Hamas, and Houthis. Putin is enjoying the missile attacks on American ships and has consistently sponsored cyberattacks on America.
