this continues to be the stupidest weakass lazy shit, donald trump isn't compromised, donald trump was born a nyc construction scion raised in kkk & mafia who appreciated strongmen and fascists, and sees democracy as weak and useless. there is no kompromat gotcha. he does it all because there's no one to stop him. that's it. this was always the fight.
Every single time I see your comments on something, it seems as if your purpose is to come off as someone trying their hardest to be on the wrong side of everything.
some? half? of the time the majority of you all just happen to be dead wrong, and acting like obtuse and ignorant morons. for the most part you're baiting antisemites, but the idiocy leaks into plenty of other stuff. i do what i can.
Yeah… I’ll bet.
Man… It must be so lonely and frustrating for your to have to be the one to be right about everything all the time. There’s always people constantly calling you “smug” and, “arrogant” while all you’re doing is providing a much needed service! You’re just a simple person, trying to educate them and lift the veil of their willful ignorance! Right?
Seriously, having to face a never-ending barrage of links that people dig up within a matter of minutes, proving you wrong in their weak and fragile little minds? I can’t imagine the sheer capacity one’s brain must have to deal with, contemplate, correct, admonish, lord over, and chastise soooo many ignorant subjects in a single day.
My hat’s off to ya.
The lord’s work my friend….The lord’s work.

Ok thanks. Say hi to your sister for me

My guy he rigged the election with f'elon
There's certainly plenty of evidence which could point to kompromat. Even if he's not compromised they clearly have some sort of "arrangement." But, again, that's mind numbingly obvious to anyone with their head not lodged in their ass.
this got no traction during his first campaign, his first administration, after he left office, his second campaign, but i'm sure now having bitten that same bullshit apple a million times, this wildly incidiery clutches pearls "quelle surprise!" revelations, litteraly everyone on the planet has heard a half bajillion fucking times before is going to move the needle. it does'nt, and it won't. because it's not true. nothing in trumps actions can be explained by him being compromised by russia, if you've payed any attention at all to his entire life history, that can't also be explained by the simple fact he just wanted to fucking do it.
if it makes you feel better, like you've discovered, or uncovered something secret, trump really doesn't want you to know, because he's afraid somehow that you can hurt him, or cause him damage, with it, have at it man
it continue to be the stupidenst weakass lazy shit, and as we're all going down the drain to burn, seeing this being pumped out by the addle brained is annoying as fuck
You’re acting like we’re reaching for conspiracy theories, when all we’re doing is looking at his public actions and declarations.
He couldn’t be acting more Putin, and anti West and Allies if he tried. Even if he isn’t compromised or on side with Putin he’s acting exactly 100% as if he is.
that's all i'm saying, given the facts, occams razor and all
Sorry dude, I don't believe I can help you. You wander out of that forest of falsehoods and straw men, you let us know.
Thanks for being the sole voice of reason here. You laid it out so clearly and I wouldn’t be surprised if I was the only one to read your comment completely. It’s always odd to me how liberals in America get so offended and immediately abusive/dismissive towards anyone who dares contradict them. It feels like they would gladly tune in to Maddow every night to watch her tease them about another bombshell Trump tax scandal that doesn’t exist. They’re addicted to this drama, and they get every bit as furious as their conservative counterparts when you try to point out that they’re falling for literally the exact same fake scandal from 6 years ago.
Whether Trump was KGB or not, he likes Putin free from any outside influence. Just like he digs Erdoğan and Milei because they are authoritarians, he digs Putin too. How does this not compute?!
cheers, if i were to guess, the russiagate stuff is a way that smart people attempt to justify to themselves how they've been "tricked" by trump somehow, to allow that orange idiot dominion over them in not trying hard enough or being smart enough to stop him. i also think this last salvo is ukranian/european intelligence in a last best bid to do anything to stop the oncoming destruction and enslavement of their people, which I get, and sympathize with. if i were them i would have dropped a piano on that fucking asshole 8 years ago, and will go to my grave not knowing why they didn't. james bond? nobody. urkainians are dead men walking, and this is as good a thing as any to put out into the world as a last gasp. but if you've known donald trump from his nyc days, and through all his failed businesses, and his ties to racists and organized crime explaining the only way he's been able to float above all his failures, and know who his father was, and what he sees as the true order he believes the world should work, it's not rocket science.
He's 110% compromised, and it's why his whole staff met with Russians ahead of his taking office the 1st time, why Russians never went into the logs, why nothing they talked about ever came out of the room, and why he is continuing to do Putin's bidding with regard to Ukraine currently. Not believing so plays into his "Russia Russia Russia" misinformation campaign. Putin may not have Kompromat, but I think Trump would sell the US for a few Trump hotels in Russia, and a place to flee should anyone with authority actually tries to hold him accountable for his laundry list of crimes and treasonous actions.
Also remember he also has had help from Moscow Mitch, and the seven members of Congress that went to report the "Russia Russia Russia" status back to Trump's handlers and get further instructions.
I think your use of compromised is too narrow here and that's why you're being attacked for it. We can see how he behaves around Musk and it's not too far off Putin if you ignore the public facing nature of it. I don't think Trump is trying to prevent some kompromat either, but clearly favor has been curried behind the scenes. Trump is well known to have, and self admittedly has, a piggy bank in Russia bigger than his piggy bank here, at least in 2016. I think to believe there isn't people on Russia who have similar relationships to the ones in America that make him cucked to Elon Musk is a bit niave, if that's what you're saying.
