not a casual statement by him.

But repubes have no use for reagan now. They've tossed him under the bus with Jesus, etc.

in excess of 30,000 Alaskans once signed a petition to secede from the US (like even MORE MAGAS did in Texas) - and rejoin Russia, because they couldn't ABIDE by having a Black man in the white HOUSE.

So yeah... maybe SOME of them (including those who claim to have ancestral ties) would be happy to "go back."

What was the slogan? "Better Russian than Democrat"?

What a disgusting show of affection. This idiot is a cancer on this country and our democracy.

Edit to add - Why is Putin riding around in "The Beast"? Really? I swear, I give up. Trump can do the most reprehensible, illegal things and get away with all of it.
