And I'm sure there's more names that have come and gone...
But is anyone concerned about what is happening,,,again? Wonder how many will claim fake news or just accept this at a win at all cost and accept what is happening.
trumps supporters don't give a shit, or they'll claim "Fake News",I can see that but should everyone else be concerned?
Let this marinate
Only nuts on the Far Left say Trump is "Putin's bitch" hyper so you have to let that go.
NO U.S. POTUS has been tougher on Russia EVER. He has done numerous things that Russia/Putin would NOT want him to do but I guess Rach never talks about it on PMS-DNC so here goes:
1) Trump sold high tech, anti-tank weapons like Javelins to the Ukraine to thwart Russian aggression.
2) He killed Russians in Syria.
3) Trump publicly humiliated Germany's Merkel for buying their gas from Russia and told her to buy from the U.S.
4) Trump has dramatically increased defense spending which Putin would NOT want him to do.
5) Sanctions imposed over Russia’s invasion of Crimea in 2014 have not been lifted and he ADDED sanctions.
6) He sold Patriot missiles to Poland and they pointed them at....lets all guess...Russia!
7) The U.S. has increased troops and military capability in Eastern Europe to combat the...Russians!
8) Trump pressured NATO into spending 5% more for defense from...drumroll please...RUSSIA!
9) In response to Russia's use of a military-grade chemical weapon in the England, Trump ordered multiple Russian consulates in the United States closed and expelled 5 dozen Russian intel officers which is EXACTLY what Putin would want him to do right?
10) He attacked a Russian ally in Syria with 5 dozen missiles but I guess Putin told him to do that????
Read up son and get back to me and will you PLEASE stop listening to Laffy. Just a few weeks ago he told us Trump was going to buy a phone company!

Good points and I'll, during the course look into them. I'm not buying all your talking points but it's late.
But the bottom line, are you' ok with what's going on...is that a yes or no?View the clip. It's easy to answer, don't be shy,
Sanders went on the air and denounce Putin...why is trump so silent?? I ask you before about Helsinki and you dodged it, I get it. You must have been good at dodge ball when you were kid..lol.
Shouldn't a leader voice his concern..?? I still think trump is a national security risk.
...if they are backed up by center/left sources/links.
Now do you really think Sanders "statements" are more effective than the numerous Trump ACTIONS I have listed? I have long said dont listen to what Trump says, or not says, but look at what he DOES.
How many libs told us he would be a war mongering president, attacking NK, Iran, etc and get us into numerous foreign conflicts? How has that panned out? Seems to me he learned the lesson of the disastrous "nation building" doctrine.
In your link, Wajahat Ali calls Trump a "Russian asset," despite ALL the evidence I have supplied destroying that claim. I no longer get myself worked up over ANOTHER lib media smear campaign filled of "bombshells" that ultimately never ever pans out. Feel free to take them as gospel however.
Like I said, if you want to continue down this path, be my guest. That will mean you didnt look into any of my links or that your mind is closed.
Again, you have the right to do so, but dont drag the rest of us down this fairytale. AGAIN.
doo doo, even his great grandchildren do not want to sit next to him.
Ask him why in January, the house rebuked Trump for easing Russia sanctions?
Ask him why Trump, had a meeting with Putin (as mentioned in your post) and allowed nobody but an interpreter to listen in and then collected and destroyed her notes?
Ask him why Trump went against every intelligence source, including his OWN director of the FBI, and said he believed there was no Russian interference into the 2016 election because Putin told him so and he believes Putin?
Ask him why he allows the perception to fester, by not releasing his income tax returns, that he DID seek a business relationship with Putin in Russia?
Ask him how Trump could propose appointing an acting chief of our DNI, who was guilty of the same offenses as Manafort and Rick Gates and on his own, could never even get a security clearance for the lowest level of classified material?
The other points he made are half truths and semi facts, twisted in a way to favor Trump when Trump had little or nothing to do with them, period.
its okay to say, "Shit." Are you letting your children log on, or what?
What's really funny is that he said in a post (link below)
"I don't need to use profanity "
Yet his BFF and roommate at the welfare motel, LTM, uses more profanity than everyone on this board combined.
2020 = 28
But I'll take issues with the following but bare with me as I HATE typing and I attached a link from Max Boot, noted ex-conservative. It kinda summarizes some of your talking point. Note the strengthen of the middle east that has bestowed Russia.
And look at
4- Increased spending? Spending is always being increased. trump probably would have increased it to attack Venezuela. Plus it's a good selling point to increase military spending. It's become the holy grail
5- trump tried to tone down the sanctions against Russian but congress block him on that. Surprise you threw that up
6-Aren't Patriot missiles to off set incoming missiles? Not known to deter a ground force, am I right? See Ukraine
8- Nato had been increasing it's spending, before trump

And look into Oleg Deripaska, I think sanctions that involved him were dropped.
M.Pompeo,, C.Wray,R.Mueller,F.Hill and even one time Fox surrogate and acting AG Matt Whitaker (he massage around it) all claim that Russia is meddling to fuck things up and trump does nothing.
So to your thinking, Russia should be against trump and to do everything to stop him....interesting hmmm.
He won't even call Putin, Puny Putin, or anything...dam show us you fucking care.
So let this marinate....hopefully it'll make sense
So I can always converse with someone looking at the facts, and changing your mind on account of them, so I appreciate that.
That said, no, defense spending is NOT always being increased. Obama had it cut.

With regards to sanctions, see my CNBC article above and you will find this:
"Unloading a raft of targeted sanctions after months of perceived inaction against Russia by the Trump administration, it’s becoming clear that Washington has hit the country where it hurts. The intended message is that no oligarch can escape economic punishment for involvement in the country’s alleged transgressions."
I think the Ukraine and Poland would find it odd you called them "GOP talking points" while they were unloading the Javelins and Patriot missile batteries and putting them in place.
About Russian interference. Yes or No? I don't need to be taken down this rabbit hole of "trump is tougher on Russia then and blah blah blah" You do seem to dodge the basic questions, Are you concerned about the meddling? Or in your world doesn't exist. I tend to trust the concerns of the intel community.
If you say it doesn't exist, then flat out say it...Fuck who's been tougher on Russia, we can go on and on on that. I don't have the time or energy to copy and paste shit, Are concerned? Say so and I might begin to take you alittle more serious and not some usual deflector.
C'mon jack...you can do it.
And just admit it now, trump is a puppet of Russia.....
