The Russia, Russia, Russia thing is pretty thin. Well except for the following.

4. Weren't for TASS, we'd never know...

… traitor Trump bragged to the Russians he fired the FBI Director.

“I just fired the head of the FBI. He was crazy, a real nut job," Trump said, according to The Times. "I faced great pressure because of Russia. That's taken off.”



"I'm not under investigation," he added.

3. It still amazes me

how much that man got away with considering how much obvious evidence there was in plain sight.

If it was a novel, it would have only been one or two chapters, because Trump would be impeached and arrested early in his first year.

If it was a movie, it would bomb being no one that stupid and incompetent could ever pull it off. Thankfully Tom Clancy didn't live to see this fiasco.

5. Put the blame square on our USA! USA! Liberty Freedom Patriots Flag Waving Republican Party for that.

6. A vote for Trump is a vote for Putin.

[BattleRow]

16. Well they got the color right..

And Trump would certainly qualify for the term Mad Russian.

[Climate Crusader]

8. Honestly, I didn't think they colluded.

I don't think Putin wanted him in because he is pals with Trump and wanted to help him out. He wanted Trump installed because he has a mountain of dirt on Trump he knows he can use to control him.

My theory anyway.

[TBF]

10. Might have been a little of both -

definitely think the dirt thing is true.

[Codifer]

15. By way of putin's KGB,

TFG has dirt on key republicans..... and he uses that dirt.

What is the old saying? "Don't get caught with a dead hooker or a live boy".

I can think of one republican senator who probably got caught with a dead boy.

As I recall, there were some number of early republican "retirements" to "spend more time with the family". I had figured Paul Ryan to be more ambitious than he showed. I wonder what he did.

Must have been a dead hooker and a goat.

12. And The Private undocumented, no-witness extended "chat" with Putin??????

Where he sold-out Ukraine for a pat on the butt? Why was there never any pressure for him to disclose the nature of their pact (because you know there was one)? EVERYTHING HE HAS EVER DONE IS TRANSACTIONAL!

[AZ8theist]

17. The ONE THING....The ONE and ONLY thing about Joe I disliked......

18. And Jared wanted a private secure direct "Back Channel" to Putin

Report: Kushner Discussed Setting Up Secret Communications With Russia

Jared Kushner discussed the possibility of Trump's transition team secretly communicating with the Kremlin, the Washington Post reports. Kushner, the president's son-in-law and adviser, spoke with Russian Ambassador to the U.S. Sergey Kislyak in early December of last year about setting up a "secure communications channel ... using Russian diplomatic facilities" in the U.S., according to the report.

Intercepts of Russian communications reportedly found that Kislyak told his superiors about the conversation. The Post cites "U.S. officials briefed on intelligence reports." NPR has not independently confirmed the Post's report.

Then-Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn was also in the meeting, the Post says. After Trump took office, Flynn was forced to resign from the administration because of revelations that he had misrepresented his conversations with Kislyak to Vice President Pence.

The White House previously disclosed that the meeting between Kushner, Flynn and Kislyak had occurred. Friday's report reveals one of the things they discussed: the possibility of a direct and secret line of communication.

Oh, and also the out-of-nowhere anti-Montenegro statements drumpf made, and shoving the Montenegro president like a complete jagoff, basically carrying Putin's water and mimicking Putins anti-NATO talking points about Montenegro being "aggressive." Montenegro!

What a pathetic little clown
