    So he would trigger an article 5 incident to apease his ego? I hope one of is multiple cases gets him locked up. And I don’t care where, as long as it means he isn’t in office.

    Why do I have a feeling that Putin told him to say that. It’s just too convenient for Trump to say that after that Tucker interview.

    Like, am I imagining things? It’s pretty clear they have communication, right?

      Oh no, they’ve been communicating since before 2016. Just look at the changes to party platform for the GOP that year regarding funding to Ukraine. The new policies, which came directly from Trumps people, reversed course on Ukraine and basically adopted pro-Kremlin positions. And it was out of left field…on alot of policy positions, they didn’t comment on shit or even have fully developed positions…but on Ukraine they have a very strong and very pro-Kremlin stance.

        Absolutely. For anyone who’s not familiar with Seth Abramson, he’s written three enormous books sourced from major news media piecing all of it together in excruciating detail. Here’s an interview about one of them for some flava.

        TL;DR Donald Trump is 100% colluding with russia and has been for well over a decade. There’s not a question about it. It’s a tower of concrete facts.

    Well. At this point it feels like I’m just watching it happen. I can vote against fascism, but what the fuck else can I do?

    Every now and then trump says something where I think surely that had to have been taken at least slightly out of context, but nope, it’s practically verbatim. Every single time.

      Again, The Guardian is to blame for some of this but seriously, how many more years does anyone need?

    “If I were president I’d encourage Russia to start a world war by telling them to attack a country in a very large military alliance that we’re part of”

    Just when you think the MAGAzis and their sprayed clown couldn’t get any dumber, here comes a public statement.

    He is desperate to stay in the headlines recently, wonder what (specifically )he’s trying to hide this time?

    "No, I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want. You got to pay. You got to pay your bills.”

    This is a level of hypocrisy… I just cannot
