'Donald Trump is going there to meet with his handler':

‘Donald Trump is going there to meet with his handler’: US intelligence expert explains danger of Trump’s ‘Chamberlain-esque’ Putin meeting


President Donald Trump is going to meet with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, who interfered in the 2016 election to get him elected.

Trump has insisted that there be no notes taken about his one-on-one meeting with the former KGB officer, and that he hops to establish a good relationship.

“Donald Trump is going there to meet with his handler,” Nance said. “He is going to meet with someone who he has been worshipping and admiring for years. Not just the last two years.” (On MSNBC, veteran U.S. intelligence agent and best-selling author Malcolm Nance)

Trump will accomplish two main things during this meeting 1. Lifting of the Russian sanctions time line, 2. Putin helping fix the 2018 Midterm elections for Republicans.

Democrats and Republicans, aren't pushing back on this. It's proof, if any more was needed, that Trump is nothing but a Russian tool.

... Russian money has flowed into their Super PACs. Russian money has helped finance their business investments (Devin Nunes*). And Russian money has been illegally used to influence an American presidential election (NRA).

the last election our intelligence stated it found no evidence that Russia actually flipped any votes. That is probably a true statement because no electronic voting machines were actually independently audited. Anyone who believes that our elections are fair is whistling Dixie.

We desperately need to go to paper ballots. I vote in Pa. and I always ask for a paper receipt, never getting one. I was told that changes are coming, that there will be a paper trail. Well, this past election I asked for my paper receipt, didn't get one. The paper trail is only for the final tally, after the votes have already been counted.

We need to vote and get our friends to vote so that the rigged machines can't overcome our majority.

God help us there have to be more decent, honest people in government than there are crooks.

"Chamberlain-esque" is where there's a surfeit of wishful thinking that causes one side to allow itself to get played by the other. The meeting with Kim was "Chamberlain-esque".

This is closer to Renfield being summoned by his master, Count Dracula.

Sadly, this is probably the truth.

...closely at them and the many other members of Congress (Nunes, Rohrbacher etc.) who I fully believe are part of the conspiracy and treason against the United States of America with Russia and not just the intereference and theft of the 2016 election, but the upcoming 2018 election and much, much more....

The list of Traitors is long....

And all the simple-minded morons in this country who are getting off on this are cucks.

The perversity of all of this is, Trump has absolute disdain for his base, and s f**** with him with this s*** like the quote spaceforce unquote. But so many of our friends and family are that sick and perverted with this, the their programmed hatred of us liberals, is all they see and know.

Same thing applies to Russia, Trump and Republicans. Russia is f****** with us, and anyone who goes along with that is held in disdain by them. But all of these people are so deranged, so poisoned in the mibds they think they're the tough guys in this.

The scary thing is, the last time authoritarianism and fascism we're overtaking major countries, the US was there with a vibrant democracy and the power to turn back the tides. There's no country out there now to save the world from all of this if we are the Hopeless Dunces in the thing.

Is why Mueller hired 14 more Prosecutors! He is getting ready to turn many cases over to the States.

BTW, in Pruitt’s resignation letter he claimed Trump was given by God. The nerve of that grifter,pretending to be a Christian. The investigations will go on,even though he resigned.

That kind of “thinking” is what transformed them completely into an out-and-out fascist death-cult.

who believe that the end justifies the means. They believe that rich, powerful people are God's chosen ones. They believe that people are poor and sick because they sinned against God.

Mormons had a similar belief when Romney ran for president, remember their "White Horse Prophesy?"
