White House occupant has just nearly wet himself as he enthusiastically praised the Russian warmonger who just invaded Ukraine---and who the US and NATO totally oppose as a war criminal--- as a "genius" and called his 190,000-man invasion force a great "peace-keeping force"!
This is not just "not normal"; the only reason this is not treason is that we are not ( yet ) officially at war with Russia. This gleeful ass-kissing of a dictator he openly envies is perhaps the most despicable public utterance in his shameful career and that is saying quite a bit. It is "giving aid and comfort" on steroids.
People who permit this type of amoral scum to survive politically in their nation DESERVE TO BE RULED BY HIM!
WHATEVER it takes----!

Oh, and the group that visited Putin on the 4th of July.
And that dinner party with Jill Stein & Putin.
And Manafort & Konstantin Kilimnik.
And milquetoast as it was, Mueller's conclusion.
And the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee's report confirming Mueller's report.

I suspect they are providing aid and comfort to Russia, with Tucker Carson at the lead.

(206,110 posts)I visited the USSR in the late '80s with my grandmother and her peace group, they had a "sister town" there. And Russians had no love for Reagan since his tough stance caused the Soviet hardliners to clamp down on Gorbachev's progressive policies which gave the people such hope.
Not to mention, having suffered horribly during WWII, fought on their own soil, they never wanted to experience war again. There were statues and plaques everywhere you went commemorating those lost in that war. We met a woman who had been a nurse during WWII who said "Please, when you go back, tell your president that we want peace."
Between TFG and Putin, we have the anti-Reagan and the anti-Gorbachev.

(8,847 posts)a back channel communications channel between Moscow and Mar-a-lago and continues to receive encrypted messages daily from Putin.
This sounds like something Putin/Russians would script for him to blabber on news programs and interviews.
He had to have something like that in the White house, or why he made so many trips to his golf resorts and Mar a Lago
Hell Putin's people probably had the network completed to Mar-A-Lago before he was even installed as president......

(8,847 posts)our intelligence community has known about it, but not wanting to say anything, that would reveal that they are bugging Putin/Trump communications?????????? They are known for doing those kinds of things......

Why "TFG" has not been 'renditioned' until now, under the secret powers of the patriot act, or whatever---
I can only attribute to the fact that Joe is "too nice a guy".
I would like to see him be a little meaner (or not see it--- what happened to Trump? nobody knows..only that he is no longer running his fat mouth on Twitter through accomplices)
The Homeland Security act and associated legislation would allow him to have Trump "renditioned" to god knows where, and no one would know any better, am I right?? Time to use Republican-authored laws against former alleged Republicans... in my humble opinion...
"providing aid and comfort to the enemy"
??!!

(50,310 posts)paying attention. I think Trump has one motive and "tough guys" like Cruz, Hawley, etc. have another. Trump is after money, pure and simple. Banks won't touch him, but he believes if he sucks Pootie's toes long enough, rubles will flow his way to keep the evil empire afloat. Others - the Trump worshippers - are embracing brutal dictators because that's the signal their dictator, the Slobfather, has given them.
