The former head of MI6 has said Donald Trump borrowed money from Russia for his business during the 2008 financial crisis.

Richard Dearlove told Prospect Magazine that “what lingers for Trump may be what deals – on what terms – he did after the financial crisis of 2008 to borrow Russian money” when other banks and lenders would not risk the money, given Mr Trump’s history of bankruptcy.

Mr Dearlove alleged the money was used by Mr Trump to prop up his real estate empire, which was hit hard by the financial crisis. It is not illegal to borrow money from Russian entities but Mr Dearlove, who left government in 2004, did not provide any evidence to support his claim in the interview.

It is unknown if Mr Trump is still paying off the alleged 2008 debts to Russian lenders or which part of the vast Trump organisation took out the loans.

1. republicans don't give a shit that Pooty Poot has Comrade Casino by the short hairs

...as long as russia keeps spamming the intertubes and jacking the ballot boxes in favor of the kristofascist KGOP.

republicans have made it plain they will not lift a finger to defend the United States of America against what even frikken Dick Cheney recognizes are ACTS OF WAR against America and against democracy.

republicans will be remembered for their treasonous FAIL, and their wholesale BEARING FALSE WITNESS in defense of a lowlife con man.

Such a sweet kid.

4. LOL

I know, but they are veterans, patriots, sort of.

They dont have to be reelected, they are set for life.

If there EVER was a time to show just what a patriot you really are

10. McCain left his first wife after she was disfigured in a car accident.

He was up to his eyeballs in Keating 5 and should have been indicted.

He gave us Sarah Fucking Palin in some half baked Hail Mary play for power.

He's a sniveling weasel whose daddy was a famous Admiral. Always has been

7. Puny Pecker - picked a peck of pickled peppers and there he sat, very well.

Until Uncle Putin pulls the plug and poor PP plops precipitously into poverty.

'nuff!

9. Top notch alliteration.

I'm generally against poverty, homelessness, and seeing mentally ill indigent homeless people who can't get the help they need, but in this case I'm willing to make an exception.

It would be yugely hilarious to see him lurchring around the bowery babbling inanities like 'ba lee me, bigly, bomb the shit out of them, great genes' to himself, coif askew, long red tie trailing on the street, one sole flopping.

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
