    My college degree focused on the collapse of the USSR and the US diplomatic response to it. I studied a lot of Soviet and Russian foreign policy. If Donald Trump is not a Russian asset he weirdly backs every single position you would expect a Russian asset to have.

      refusing to speak negatively of Putin in front of millions during the debate should’ve been a pretty clear wakeup call

        “He’s a good man, strong man” and every red hat cheered. You dumb mother fuckers.

      He’s in Putin’s pocket for sure. You remember the closed door meeting with him and Putin his first time in office? Putin came out looking smug af and Trump looked like he’d just seen the ghost of his dead dad. Trump was best mates with Epstien and famously can’t keep it his pants. My bet is that Putin has footage of him fucking a minor and is threatening to release it unless Trump toes the line.

        Honestly, given the cult-like obsession of Trump followers, I can’t even imagine a video like that making much of an impact on them. Sadly…

          I dunno, I’m certain that there will be a great number of folks with enough cognitive dissonance to validate whatever he does in their own minds, but I still think that it would sink him.

        Dude, the Venn diagram of the states in which it’s legal to marry a minor and those in which Trump won is probably just a circle
