Russian state TV is celebrating after seeing the recent report that Trump told G7 leaders that Crimea belongs to Russia because the people there speak Russian.

Trump’s statement, which parrots the Kremlin’s talking points on Crimea, was widely interpreted in Russia as an official declaration by the U.S. that Russia was justified when they illegally invaded Crimea and annexed it from Ukraine.

The ignorant proclamation made by Trump was quickly turned into propaganda and touted by Russian state TV hosts Olga Skabeeva and Evgeny Popov, who triumphantly reported on the remarks Friday.

“Krym nash, Trump nash!” Skabeeva declared to the audience, which in English means “Crimea is ours, Trump is ours!”

1. KGOP republicans: "We don't give a shit as long as the money keeps flowing."

2. yep

trump is putin's toy to play with at will. America "screwed the pooch" this time with this potus.

[duforsure]

3. Trump and all the republicans

Are working for putin now. Don't believe it, just wait until all the money putin poured into the republican party leaders accounts , and funneled money to trump and his people. They work for putin not us. Trumps statements, always pro putin, are sickening, and soon he'll be lifting is oil sanctions for him with the republicans help in Congress,and to prevent him becoming impeached and removed from office. Did trump ever impose the last sanctions Congress passed against Russia?

8. He also hasn't even acknowledged Russian meddling in 2016 election

And the funds allotted to the State Department for investigating and preventing more international tampering incidents like this remain unspent. Not to mention Trump and his lackeys sitting on their hands on any initiatives to ensure integrity of the voting process in November.

I've been following this unfolding saga closely for more than 3 years now, with ever increasing horror, and still it's jaw-dropping. ESPECIALLY the refusal of congressional Republicans to DO anything about it.

Yeah, follow the money (Nunes, Rohrabacher, and McConnell as well as Trump and all of his corrupt associates). I hope that Mueller has safely sequestered copies of all the financial records that can be disseminated by some means if/when Trump tries to fire Mueller or block release of his report.

Traitors all: not just with respect to foreign powers per say, but to the Constitution, to the rule of law, to the bedrock principles of this country.
