countries with the U.S. interference. And Trump reassured Putin that if he is POTUS he won't attack Russia if it goes after U.S. allies. Remember he used the excuse that he won't help allies unless they pay their "bills" . Trump gets lots of money from Russia.


“Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets,” Trump’s son, Donald Jr., told a real estate conference in 2008, according to an account posted on the website of eTurboNews, a trade publication. “We see a lot of money pouring in from Russia.”

Trump is effectively blackballed by domestic banks and has over $600 million in loans from the Russians.

It might be interesting to see what would happen iof the "useful tool" of bankruptcy were to be used with Putin's people, but more to the point is how Trump is so cozy with Putin, and sees nothing wrong with Russian intrusion into the Baltics and Ukraine. What else should Russia be allowed to do?

Just how fucking stupid are the American people to let this happen?

And those goddam Berniacs who won't give up are not helping. The real ones still out there (apparently just a small part of the protestations) seem to be too stupid to know they are being used as tools.

I'm getting too old to clean up these messes. And just when the messes are getting really bad, too.
