^Damn, Ted Koppel is Russia's b*@#h, too...?

 

[Hotwire]

It's funny, at first I thought he was merely in it for self interest. Maybe Russia offered him a lucrative deal, or the pee tape is real. I mean, I'm sure that's still a major motivator, I just wasn't sure Trump had conviction in anything but $$.

Then you get to his "relationship" with Kim Jong Un, or white supremists. Those aren't relationships that typically could benefit a business man. Public racism leads to even CEO's stepping down. Meanwhile he slams wealthy China, and befriends North Korea. Again, not a seeming business savvy move.

Things like that have to be his true beliefs. Belief in racism. Being in awe of dictators. Things that won't necessarily give him a direct pay day, but are things he believes in nevertheless.

Google "Rosneft 19%".

Trump and Putin have been speaking alone for two hours now.

Oh please, there was no playing both sides by the Ruskies. The nationalist, white supremacist, morality absent, NATO hating, tyrant appeasing Trump was Putie's perfect candidate. Folks who put this traitor in office were either duped by a career con man or willingly put their country (and American democracy) at risk. Trump voters should be ashamed of themselves.

Doo bee doo bee doo...

Pretty much running the gamut of the political-leaning media spectrum there, from conservative like The Hill & Daily Caller to progressive like NPR & VICE, all reporting they were stirring up both sides of the voting block. And that's just a 30 second google search.

Tangentially-related, the guy that started Occupy says they were messing with him too, according to The Guardian's piece.

Are you suggesting that Putin had no preference in regard to Presidential candidates? That his government's interaction into the 2016 election, wasn't completely dedicated to putting his patsy into the oval office? From the NY Times:

The indictment presented in astonishing detail a carefully planned, three-year Russian scheme to incite political discord in the United States, damage Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign and later bolster the candidacy of Donald J. Trump, along with those of Bernie Sanders and Jill Stein.

Putin wanted HIS GUY as Commander in Chief, and thanks to voters like you his efforts were successful.

 

[Aximili86]

I'm suggesting that media's been reporting since soon after inauguration day that a bunch of the public assemblies, on both sides of the aisle, were ginned up by Russian goons on the Tweeties and Facebox. And not just the Hannity fearmonger *****ebags, as can be seen in the sources above.

They probably preferred Trump win, totally. That wasn't what was being talked about, the assertion made was that Russia was only messing with/countering the left through their online shenanigans. Which isn't true, and this goes way back before the 2016 election to at least Occupy.

Trump and Putin have been speaking alone for two hours now.

That means they ****ed each other.

 

[Fading]

That means they ****ed each other.

Now, now. When two people are in love, some alone time is natural.

 

[samsnee]

Trump and Putin have been speaking alone for two hours now.

Does any reasonable person not think Cheetoh asked if Putin could help rig the next election as well in his favor?

 

[wobbly]

Only thing Trump would be asking Putin is "What is thy bidding, my master?"

Hee hee,

 

[Sithborg]

So, Trump says Putin has an interesting idea of how was behind the election meddling.

Jesus christ.

EDIT: And now he is just rambling about his electoral win. This is why he literally cannot do anything about Russia meddling.

 

[Brutikus]

That means they ****ed each other.

Indeed,kissing is quite natural for two men to do with each other even if they have to do so behind closed doors.

Only thing Trump would be asking Putin is "What is thy bidding, my master?"

Pretty much.

 

[Sithborg]

"I don't see any reason why it would be Russia"

Jesus H Crackers.

 

[green]

I know you guys are trying to be funny but the Trump/Putin gay jokes are insulting to gays and extremely homophobic.

 

[Sithborg]

Holy ****. The adamantium balls on the reporter who asked Putin whether or not Russia has kompramat on Trump.

 

[Schlosser85]

Putin offers to question the indicted Russian officials if Mueller asks.

Putin has to be trolling with this stuff sometimes.

I guess it is trolling. But really, it feels like just playing the game. Putin just needs to say these things, because Trump, for whatever reason, just goes with it. We all know what Putin is doing, but as our President won't hold him responsible, Putin just gets to play innocent.

 

[C. Lee]

Trump is a Russian stooge....he is owned by Putin....Trump is a traitor to the United States.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Trump is a Russian stooge....he is owned by Putin....Trump is a traitor to the United States.

I know it is all speculation, but what do people feel is the reason for this? Trump looking for acceptance from someone he wanted acceptance from before, actual blackmail, etc.

 

[Sithborg]

Part of it is Trump's idolization of dictators. The other part of it is how much he depends on Russian money for his wealth.

 

[marcvader]

My mind is utterly blown with all this Russia crap. Am I living in an alternate universe right now?

This is seeming more and more likely to me.

The thing is, you expect it from Trump. What makes it mind blowing imo, is people going along with it, with a straight face.
