tRump just gave a bigger Christmas gift to Putin than corporate America while no one was watching

[ffr]

In a move that went largely unnoticed last week, Donald tRump quietly handed Russian President Vladimir Putin the best Christmas gift he could possibly ask for — an invitation to continue undermining American democracy, with no strings attached.

tRump made the controversial move last Tuesday night, when most of the country had their eyes on the Alabama Senate race.

Hours after signing the annual defense spending bill called the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), tRump released an accompanying presidential signing statement formalizing his opposition to a slew of measures aimed at enforcing a tougher U.S. policy towards Russia.

In the statement, tRump explicitly objected to over 40 provisions included in the bill, most of which were aimed at bolstering our defenses against Russian aggression.

This move is just the latest in a series of decisions by tRump to stand down in the face of Russian aggression, rather than holding the line or retaliating against Putin’s attempts to divide and sow chaos in U.S. politics and society. - Share Blue Media

Big talking wimp.

1. It's gotta be someone besides Trump.

From the article...

Among other things, Trump signaled his opposition to Section 1239 of the NDAA, which directs the U.S. government to “develop and implement a comprehensive strategy to counter threats by the Russian Federation.” He specifically noted his objection to the subsection directing the military and other government agencies to strengthen our defenses against cyberattacks, as well as developing new strategies to counter the “use of misinformation, disinformation … active measures, propaganda, and deception and denial activities of the Russian Federation in the United States and Europe, through traditional and social media.”

Does anyone think Trump actually read the document in that much detail, to be able to be that specific in his objections? If this article is on the level, there's gotta be someone else high up who's managing this.

5. Absolutely. I thought of that myself when I heard this

the other day.

I want to know who. It might have been FLynn, were he still there. Or Bannon. Maybe Stephen Miller?

7. That photo says it all!

Have you ever seen someone look so miserable and dour in your life?
I read that The Fucking Moron's ex Ivana claims he raped her and pulled out handfuls of her hair after getting scalp/hair transplants and was in so much pain that he wanted her to suffer as much as he was. I do not doubt that this is true. Throughout his business career and into the presidency he has proven to be a sadist who loves to create turmoil and chaos with his "loyal" staff as he watches amused. That is what he is currently doing to the US. If he goes down he intends to create total chaos on a grand scale so that we all suffer along with him.

LOCK HIM UP IN A MENTAL WARD FOR LIFE, ADAP!
