(1,940 posts)Putin absolutely contributed to installing that asshole.
Paul Manafort and his stupid ugly ostrich coat. Maria Butina, the mediocre "honey pot," who apparently was hot enough to hook up with most of the inadequate male RNC, and conned them into believing there is a Russian "second amendment." (They probably believed everything she said after she played with their dinky ding dongs.) Thus the Russian money laundering through the NRA into MAGAt politicians' pockets.
That bloated Russian ambassador who yukked it up with *rump and other bloated pasty Russians in the Oval Office two seconds after *rump cosplayed taking the Oath of Office. Photo taken by Russian "journalist," and no US media allowed.
Konstantin Kilimnik, who happens to be wanted by the FBI, offering a $250,000 reward:

And on and on and on and on and on.
Putin IS the issue of 2016, IMO. Everything the gaseous asshole did was for himself, and Putin. He's installed THREE corrupt US SC Justices. He hated (and probably still does hate) Hillary, as she was Secretary of State when Congress passed the Magnitsky Act, Prez Obama signed it into law, and John McCain co-sponsored the bill. Hm. Seems to be a pattern.
Just a note, it always bothered me when news people (including Rachel) minimized the Russian meeting in *rump Tower June 9, 2016, as a discussion about Americans adopting Russian orphans. Putin had stopped the adoptions in retaliation for the Magnitsky Act, so discussing the adoptions was *rump, Kushner, Butthead, Jr., etc., and their Russian buddies negotiating Russian sanctions!
