    Why is the US President doing PR for a hostile nation? Why does this come across like cheerleading for said hostile nation? Rhetorical questions of course.

      He’s bragging that Russia told him something. He was feeling butthurt that no one told him about Ukraine’s planned drone attack. This is his way of soothing his fragile ego.

      Trump and his followers don’t see Russia as a hostile nation. They live in a bubble where everything is the opposite.

      I liked when he said something negative about Putin last week, and Russia came out apologizing and explaining it away. Compromat.

        The “why” doesn’t even matter at this point. Whether or not he’s actually a Russian asset is inconsequential. All that matters is the fact that he does everything a Russian asset would do.

        Who fucking cares at this point? Trump has done so much worse things by now. He can’t legally be president for a third term, so it’s not like it’s gonna impact his re-election. Most of the world already hates the man and think he is vile and disgusting. What is one pee tape going to change.

        The pee tape could release today and be barely in the current news cycle. One camp will say “This just confirmed what we already knew”, the other camp will say “Fake news”. And tomorrow it will be forgotten.

        No, it has to be something way worse than a simple pee video.

          Has the law already been changed?

            Of course not, something like that takes more than a single signature.

            Otherwise all the other stuff like healthcare and gun control would have gone through a long time ago.
