Yeah he fucking looks like he's dying soon.
What dumb fucking goofball, he meets Putin face to face, gives him that bare naked palm to shake, then a week later he's like "Oh I feel sick I think I might be dying".
You dumb shit, of course you're dying, one of the toxic dicks you been licking secreted KGB venom you stupid dumb asshole.
"Awww I just wanted to kiss a KGB man, now my cankles are swelling with fluid and I lost a lot of weight."
Yeah bitch, you got poisoned!
Meanwhile the dems are all like "Did ya see Gavin Newsome say something, he's not like the other Democrats!"
....shiiiiiiiiieet.
My amateur read would be that Trump is far more useful to Russia alive as the credulous creature he is than dead. Letting Vance carry on the MAGA legacy would be risky for Putin's ambitions, so long as Trump is handily disrupting any hope of Ukrainian self determination, why rock the boat?
Maybe they've been fighting, seems like that's what's being said. Trump slowly realizing he's being lied to. Better a stable person than someone who might actually nuke if he gets cranky enough (the big baby). Also, Russia probably just wants the flex - I think autocrats see the revolving door of democracies as a weakness.
Hell, maybe Putin saw the stealth bomber got paranoid and got "the guy" to slap that shit into his hand just incase.
All I know is that you meet that guy, you wash your hands straight away.
You don't shake his hand in the first place. Why would you shake a war criminal's hand?
But why would Putin poison him when he’s doing everything Putin wants.
are you sure it's not spelled sheeeeeeeiit?
It’s German pronunciation
excuse me bussygyatt, why did you name yourself that
