Is he really the "useful idiot" we are thought he might be??

We used to comment and wonder how much information the Russians got from their useful idiot..The right buries their heads because I do not even know if their new media choices informed them of what Trump did.. and you have to wonder.. were the Russians bugging the White House for four years and then cleaned the bugs out before the Biden's moved in... how much infor did Trump get on people who worked in the WH and how many were blackmailed..


The Russians met with the Chinese and Iranians before meeting with Americans over Ukraine a couple of weeks ago.. Is it just me, or are we looking at groups who want to invade other countries.. China wants Taiwan.. Russia wants all the Ukraine back.. oh heck even the North Koreans (Trumps other good buddies) are shooting off missiles right now, are they looking to get attack South Korea??... What if they are trying to get us in 18 directions at once so we cannot focus.. Trump did all he could to destroy NATO for Putin.. Is Putin his ultimate Banker?? Are they ramping us up against each other for a hopeful civil war so they can take over the world.. really makes you wonder sometimes

"The images show the president laughing and looking chummy with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Russian Ambassador to the United States Sergey Kislyak. U.S. reporters and photographers were shut out. The meeting, Politico reports, occurred at the request of Russian President Vladimir Putin during a recent phone call with Trump."

Biden look bad or weak. To me it looks like they are doing all they can to help Tr**p and the Repugs get back into power in 2022 and 2024.

The MSM is helping this along by accentuating the narrative - concentrating on Biden's age and saying that he hasn't whipped Covid and the economy (i.e., inflation) is all Biden's fault.

They don't say that much of what Biden is being blamed for is Tr**p's fault and the collateral damage being done to the economy by Covid and the lack of cooperation by the anti maskers and anti vaxxers.

The late night show hosts don't help the matter much in that they make unfair jokes about Biden and keep talking about Tr**p and keeping him in the news.

It looks like a lot of forces in this country - don't want to see Biden or the Dems to succeed and they are on board with destroying our democracy.

What really pisses me off - is that we're seeing all this play out in front of us in real time - we're watching it happen right before our eyes - and we are helpless to stop or prevent it. It's demoralizing.
