Russia's State TV Calls Trump Their 'Agent'

Sometimes a picture doesn’t have to be worth a thousand words. Just a few will do. As Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov returned home from his visit with President Donald Trump in the Oval Office last week, Russian state media was gloating over the spectacle. TV channel Rossiya 1 aired a segment entitled “Puppet Master and ‘Agent’—How to Understand Lavrov’s Meeting With Trump.”

Vesti Nedeli, a Sunday news show on the same network, pointed out that it was Trump, personally, who asked Lavrov to pose standing near as Trump sat at his desk. It’s almost the literal image of a power behind the throne.

And in the meantime, much to Russia’s satisfaction, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is still waiting for that critical White House meeting with the American president: the famous “quid pro quo” for Zelensky announcing an investigation that would smear Democratic challenger Joe Biden. As yet, Zelensky hasn’t done that, and as yet, no meeting has been set.

1. Could pootie-poot be conducting some KGB mindfuck?

Is it outside the realm of possibility that rump is no longer useful in office and that the mayhem unleashed when the extent of his Russian connections is made public is more valuable than anything else he could do for them?

3. Sounds like a possibility

4. That means a lot

coming from an experienced galactic hitch-hiker and alien journalist like you.

9. IMHO Putin will use his poodle to do whatever he wants to for as long as he can.

Putin has a range of options depending on what Mitch can engineer. I would rule out nothing at this point.
They just succeeded in the long game of overturning British democracy. They are persistent, patient, and usually have at least three plans in operation, if not more.
Putin is in this for the long haul but that doesn't mean he won't dump Donny when the time is ripe. If nothing else he'll use Trump to create as much chaos as possible. Since Donny is not his only agent in place I assume the immediate future will be far more complicated than the exit of one man from the White House.

12. unfortunately, all of this sounds completely plausible to me. n/t

2. He's mope slapping his useful idiot, Donnie Two Scoops. Like Kim Jong Il does all the time.

5. Can't even see Lindsey! n/t

[sandensea]

7. He's "entertaining" someone at the moment

11. Lindsey can see

But, Lindsey is already deep in the shit...he's either been taking money from Russian sources, funneled through made up PAC's...or he was caught with his hands down the wrong pair of pants!!!

13. Moscow Mitch is deep into this slime, too.

I just saw a clip of him speaking. What a repulsive man, in every way. The only thing on his face that moved was his lower jaw, or where a normal lower jaw usually is on a real person. Evil personified. I can hardly wait for this bastard to meet his just rewards. If he was hit by a train he could not be any uglier. He seems very sure of himself, doing all his dirty deals. I wonder if he knows something we do not?

6. Can this be useful to Dems?

Run an ad with the clip, and English translation underneath.

Could bring on a stroke in the Oval....

8. Great idea. It'll help with independent voters - especially disaffected Republicans

But what would help the most - sad to say - is a mild recession.

Better a little bit of sacrifice now - than a full-blown Bush-style crash later, in addition to all the treason!

10. We've known this all along given the Idiot's behavior and actions confirm his leanings towards Putin

It's all out in the open now. And the GOP is complicit in their betrayal of the US.

14. Stumpy is like a dog on its back..

waiting for the russkys to scratch its stomach...

15. Trump is Putin's ace in the hole.

[samnsara]

16. good then they can come claim him and take him 'home'

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

17. That was an Internet winner!

[ElementaryPenguin]

18. That's what he is.

19. We knew Trump was an ASSET before the election. Virtually no

Russian experts doubted that by the time he was sworn in, and certainly none could now.

"Agent," though, is like Natalia Veselnitskaya, employed, gets assignments, performs, gets paid.

So, what on earth is Russian state TV doing calling Trump an agent? Do they mean it? Russia saved Trump from bankruptcy in the late '80s-90s and has arranged funding ever since. Is that the "gets paid"? And only a trumpster could believe Russia couldn't have blackmailed, and apparently wooed, a man with decades of criminal history into obedience long ago.

Or are they just using that word to try to sow more mischief and chaos?
