There is ship tracking software (for airplanes as well,) that shows when/where most big assets like this go. Since dt has been in office, there have been flights to airports near Bedminster and Mara lago, and ships(yatchs) of russian registration docking in most big ports in Florida/ New York NJ. Often when he's there. He has access to russian handlers at both places. He just has to be stopped. Too many avenues to co-ordinate efforts beyond a 2 hour meeting. This is nothing new, but, I'm told they have increased in regularity since 2016.

Because Charlottesville, their first choice — didn’t want another parade of degenerates so soon after the last one.

One of the few places they will still be able to count on by then. Expect dt to start rallying across the nation at races. These rallies-I think-are to pre-prepare us for the second 4 years. "I won bc I have been campaigning." Sort of thing...(on the American Taxpayers dime.) Plausible deniability.

Can't wait to see the misspelled signs, the white power banners, toothless fat guys in camo with guns, and the Republican women gleefully volunteering for pussy grabbing duty. There will be lots merchandising venders peddling Russian flags and T-shirts with Trump kissing Putin, maybe Russia will have a hospitality booth serving up shots of vodka.
