Do you really believe the Trump Administration would throw America under the bus?

MSgt Private RallyPoint Member — Fri, 03 Mar 2017 23:00:39 -0500

With all the rhetoric about Russian collusion and no evidence at the present to validate the accusations.

1. Exactly what does Russia gain with a Trump Administration that affects our National Security? Foreign interference is common in elections even by the U.S.

2. Why do you believe the Trump administration would conspire with Russia?

3. Do you believe Vice President Pence or Congress would go along with this idea?

1. Russia gains leverage and favor that benefit it through decreased sanctions and opposition when it tries to secure more land - ie the Ukraine. It also gains favor for trade programs with the US. And it gains support for its actions against ISIS - even if they aren't really against ISIS.

1. Whatever he can. Whether it be intel, less sanctions, foothold in American politics, more assurances that they don't have to worry about the US stopping them from what they want.

2. In a way yes I do think this administration would sell us out. But they would not really consider it selling out. It would be more of a business transaction. There are more people in this administration who knows less how government works. as opposed to how to work government To get what they want. To them, it would benefit them.

3. Actually, no I don't think he would. I think he was the pick our Republican Party picked to help rein him and his cronies in so this does not happen. I think he's more babysitter than VP. From what little I'm seeing, he's the little voice of reason that is supposed to give the rest of us who really really wonder what the actual hell trump and pals are thinking hope. I'm just not sure he is up to the job.

The Russia stuff is just an over reaction of Liberals that have conditioned society to believe ignorance is equal to logic. Liberal media complained about a photo where Trumps campaign manager was sitting on a couch instead of focusing on the $26 million he was giving to Historically Black Colleges. More that 6 times the amount Obama dedicated to them over his 8 year tenure.

The only thing i wish trump would do is dump twitter for snap chat. Listen, i could care less if trump and putin cuddled with each other at the weekend white house in florida. I stick by the facts. Clinton sold the damn russions 20% of our uranium rights!!! Does everyone forget that? Come on people. This is still us vs. Them, left vs. Right. Until the far left decides that they actually do love this country and start working with the right. I will also admit trump needs to heed his own advise and shut the hell up. Even if he were 100% right all the time, putting it on twitter all the time only creates fodder for those that believe that his elevator doesnt go all the way to the top. Russia, was actually much better off with obama and co. In the WH. He just doesn't realize it yet because he is pissed over the sanctions. BTW, anyone who actually believes those were put in place over russia messing with the elections is an idiot. They were put there solely to give trump grief.

This is a question that I imagine is being asked by all who have succumbed to the fear-mongering of the Left. No one honestly believes that Trump is cackling in his sleeve, like a villain from a melodrama after tying the heroine to the railroad tracks. But that is the image the Left fosters to derail his attempts to derail their agenda. In truth, I believe that the Left honestly believes that they have the only answer to all of America's problems and they are in a snit because America rejected them. We the People elected Donald Trump to do exactly what he is doing, and that makes me smile. So does the pain of the Left...

I do not believe that any POTUS would sell the nation down to a sworn enemy. It is like the Pearl Harbor revisionists that believe Roosevelt, a former Secretary of the Navy, did not adequately warn Adm. Kimmel & Gen. Short of an impending attack by the air & sea forces of the Empire of Japan on Pearl Harbor. Plenty of warnings came to theatre commanders from Washington to expect an attack but the blow was expected at the Philippine Is. or Wake & Guam. Pres. Trump did not sell his nation out just as former POTUS Obama did not.
I really do not know what if any thing the Russians would gain from either of the two candidates. I would understand a general distaste for Mrs. Clinton by the Russians but that would not be an inducement to aid Trump. No, no administration would sell out the nation to the Russians or hopefully any nation. Vice President Pence would not keep quiet after finding evidence of treason.

1. Actually with Trump's energy policies Russia stand to get hurt, very badly. Trump is/will continue to push more energy sources and will no doubt approve more production which will lower the cost per barrel on the market. This will crush Russia as it is one of their primary economic drivers. Lower crude costs kill them. The dems policies would have been far better for Russia.

2. No, you have to believe that people like Mattis, Kelly, and many others would accept the sell out. That is not going to happen.

1) What Russia gains is the ability to take advantage of the $500 Billion investment in drilling for Russian oil made by Exxon before the sanctions were imposed on Russia after it invaded Ukraine.
2) The Trump administration de-facto IS throwing America under the bus, when POTUS goes off the rails with his tweets, leaving uncertainty in the world about his policies (if he had policies instead of tweets!), with his clearly unconstitutional Executive order(s) and his blatantly ignorant refusal to even listen to intelligence professionals about our national security.
3) I don't know what VP Pence would "go along" with POTUS-T's ideas. Unfortunately, the people that Trump really listens to are the Bannons, the Conways, the other far-right/let's ignore the Constitution mind set people who can't/won't get organized enough to try to effectively run our government.

Do I believe Trump would throw America under the bus if he was being blackmailed by the Kremlin and stood to lose his entire fortune? Absolutely! And whether or not he is being blackmailed is a question that has not yet been answered. Hopefully, one or all of the ongoing investigations will resolve that issue soon.

2. Trump will do anything for a dollar I am sure of it.
3. It would be very hard to believe Trump could pull this off alone. Guess Russia and the KKK make bad allies?

How is it, that America can allow a crotch grabbing, child raping, every other sentence out of his mouth a lie manic into the white house?

How is it that we have a 1st Lady that I can go on the internet and download nude pictures of.

How is it that Great Britain is afraid to allow the POTUS to come visit the queen for fear he might grope her?

What kind of man did the "Moral Majority" put into office? Maybe the moral majority isn't really so moral after all.

FEBRUARY 2, 2017 WASHINGTON—Donald Trump has never been known primarily as a man of faith. But in his first appearance Thursday at the National Prayer Breakfast, President Trump reaffirmed that he will be a strong advocate for the priorities of conservative Christians – a key part of his political base. Quoted from the Christian Science Monitor

How is it that we christians put a man into office that doesn't even confess to be a christian or a man of faith? If he holds true to form everything he promised christians will also be a lie.

SSgt Carter your pledge say to America and to follow the orders of the POTUS. But if you know POTUS is corrupt and his administration is corrupt, it should make those in actively in uniform want to puke. I bet good men and women that served and died are rolling over in their graves.

Think about this people, we put a man into office that was known and proven to do anything for a dollar. Cheat his workers, use the tax code to the fullest to evade paying any taxes, while taking full advantages of every handout his lawyers could find. He calls himself smart -- but unless you make what he does, you don't mean anything at all to him. You know this but some how don't care.

BTW has anyone ever consider the matter, that Trump has ran more bankrupt businesses than successful, what does that say for the future of this country. File bankruptcy in the world court? Trump is a very successful BS'er.

Much like this administration, all I see is convenient excuses that don't hold up to sound logic. Do I believe that this administration would sell out? Name one POSITIVE thing the administration has accomplished since January 20 besides controversy and scandal. People place trust in things that have a track record of failure just to sooth their political sensibilities and throw logic out the window. I'll wait till the special prosecutor finds or doesn't find anything before I pass judgement and say he will or won't.

America is the dominate country, but do all Americans live in a free country when two nuclear powers go to war. So less sacrifice America, and Boom Russia, if we think its that easy.

You are watching too much CNN which has admitted to this being a fake story with no evidence but they continue to push this over the news for ratings. One of their chief producers said this on tape in an interview with an undercover Project Veritas reporter and Van Jones confirmed it outside the New York HQ. The Trump-Russia thing never had legs and the FBI just cleared General Flynn of any wrongdoing a few days ago. His investigation has ended. There is no story here. CNN and MSNBC are trying to fool you and shape your opinion by running false stories and publishing lies.

Cynical as I am I'd have to say Yes! Question One = World wide and domestic prestige. Question Two = Depends on what is meant by sell out. Do I think overt military action against the U.S. would be rebuffed? Sure! Do I think the administration would take more than verbal action if Russia decided to "rejoin" the Baltics or decide to build bases in places where they never have? Doubtful (IMO). Question Three = I think Herbert Hoover said it best "The Vice-Presidency is as worthless as a warm bucket of spit." The Veep has little to no power.
Although I did not vote for either candidate I still remember my oath and will not disrespect the man or the office. However, I do wish he had a bit thicker skin and did not think he had to comment on each supposed or even real barb from the press, congress, TV commentator, etc. And the epithets should really go. And I really wish Twitter would bar him.
Having said all that, if and until the Congress impeaches him and removes him from office I feel that we must support him as or CinC.

With all the rhetoric about the Russia connection and no evidence I have a couple of questions.
1. Exactly what does Russia gain with a Trump Administration that affects our National Security?
2. Do you really believe the administration would sell out America?
3. Do you really believe Vice President Pence would go along with this idea?

1. Hegemony over our traditional allies. Weakening our ability to lead.
2. The question is not if, but to what degree. This depends on what Putin has on them. Is it merely Russian money invested in his businesses {we know about} or something greater from RNC information hacked on themselves, or is it personal i.e. {sex tape stuff in Moscow} we have only heard INTEL rumors about?
3. We know that a self proclaimed CHRISTIAN will drop all that to be a second banana to a thrice married ,cheating, unrepentant philanderer, business cheat, and liar who grabs women he doesn't know by the pussy and says about a 10 year old ",,,in a few years that'll be my wife.". We will know more when the Comey/Mueller investigation ends.

I truly believe that the root of all evil in America is now, and has ever been--political corruption and patronage gone wrong. Even Washington had to fight tooth and nail to care for his troops--before we even were fully established as a 'Republic.' Now, having witnessed all that has transpired the last twenty years? Who has gained the most from the racism, the civic and social instability, the greed, the skewed elections? Democracy? Or, De-mock-racy? You can all howl indignantly now till the proverbial cows come home--but the two-party-tarded system simply has to end. Even multiple choice questions, inane and harmless as they may be on the surface--they have MORE THAN ONLY TWO OPTIONS. Would you go into combat with only shitty Plan A, or Shitty Plan B!? Really!?

I think these questions become more relevant as time passes by. Especially following the G-20 Summit.
1. They gain a greater influence in the our intelligence community. They have tried before using moles (Robert Hanssen and Aldrich Ames).
2. Following Trumps announcement at the G-20 to set up a joint cybersecurity team to monitor/identify future hacking into U.S. voting is a sellout (multiple sources available for this topic). Sad to say, I believe Putin and Lavrov that Trump accepted Putin's denial statement and is why Trump did not stand firm.
3. Pence is a wildcard. Confidence is low.

1. They haven't gained anything at this point, or at least nothing we know of. Easing of Russian sanctions would allow many things - principally oil drilling estimated to be $ 500 billion. Less support for NATO that could lead to more adventurism by Russia in Europe. A better business climate that would allow Trump and supporters to capitalize on pending issues. Restoration of the Russian diplomatic compounds in MD and NY. Further PR gains for Russia due to the appearance of US cooperation after the election.

2. Not Trump individually but with the cooperation of (R) Congress healthcare changes that could result in less coverage with higher premiums, no healthcare for an est. 22 million over the next several years, and could amount to $541 billion in tax breaks for the wealthy. Their tax reform agenda remains to be seen but it's reasonable to expect more tax breaks for the wealthy at the expense of the middle class. Easing environmental restrictions that could allow more damage. Weapons sales to countries with questionable motives, such as Turkey. The $ 110 billion ($ 350 billion over next 10 years) Saudi deal was significant because it's common knowledge that SA indirectly arms and finances many terror factions. The deal also represents a softening of the U.S. position on the widely criticized Saudi-led coalition in Yemen's civil war. 15 of the 19 attackers on 911 were of Saudi nationality.

3. Pence will do whatever it takes to survive. He has been less than vocal so far, so he can step up as POTUS in the event of the removal of Trump. He would not have been able to be elected on his own merit so he likely sees this as an alternative means to an end. Meanwhile he is just keeping quiet and hoping to avoid the fallout of any Trump allegations.

None of these have occurred and they possibly never will, but remain as potentials. These are not all-inclusive but some of the main ones. For now it makes good opposition speech and nothing more.

Russia is disappointed, they've enjoyed a long and prosperous relationship with the former Administration, Skolkovo, Uranium... they hate Trump.
2. Do you really believe the administration would sell out America?
If you go back over 20 years ago on the Oprah Winfrey show, she asked Trump if he would ever consider running for President, he laughed and then said, "If I thought my country was being destroyed, then yes, I would" so no, this Administration is all about America, period.
3. Do you really believe Vice President Pence would go along with this idea?
There is no idea to go along with, and Pence is a great American with the values that truly represent America at home and on the world stage.

1. Exactly what does Russia gain with a Trump Administration that affects our National Security? -HRC stated and then reiterated during the 1st AND 3rd presidential debates that she wanted to impose a no fly zone over Syria. General Dunford said previous to this that would take no less than a land war with Syria and Russia. This cannot be stated enough, and for some reason is mostly forgotten. Trump simply does not want a war with Putin, and TBH our military is so exausted from 16 years of continuious deployments that we couldn't fight a war with ourself, more or less the entire Russian military.
2. Do you really believe the administration would sell out America?-The guy took a tremenous risk running for POTUS that any buisnessman will tell you would likely hurt his earnings not grow them. Guy is 70 years old with zero buisness interestes in Russia and 10 billion dollars in hard assets, you CAN'T get him to sell out.

1.Donald Trump Jr.’s 2008 statement that “Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets”
2. Trump Jr's release of emails were not a Democratic invention
3. Read about the Prevezon case. This is not a Democratic invention. Been going on for years. In brief it involves Russian oligarchs laundering illegal money ($230 M) in NY real estate. While there is no proof at this time investigations will likely tie the Trump organization to these money laundering activities. (See No 1 above.) Remember Trump has facing significant issues with bankruptcy with his casinos and without a large infusion of cash and someone to refinance his loans he would have lost everything.
4. As a result of the Prevezon investigation Congress froze the assets of many of the oligarchs involved in the case. The oligarchs really want access to their money and putt pressure on Putin to get it resolved. The Russian attorney investigating the Prevezon case is killed in Moscow.
5. Russian duma passed a law prohibiting US citizens from adopting Russian orphans. (The Magnitsky Act).
6. Knowing that Trump is compromised by the illegal money in his real estate, Putin sees an opportunity to influence Trump and has lots of motivation to swing the election in Trump's favor. Russian lawyer and "lobbiest" meet with Trump Jr to talk about "adoption". In a quid pro quo, Trump fires the lawyers investigating the Prevezon case in March 2017 and the case is settled for $2M.
None of this is a Democratic party fabrication.
7. Trump kills the CIA mission supporting rebels in Syria. This has been an issue for Putin since it started under Obama.
Do't forget Flynn's involvement meeting with Russians. That is not a Democratic party fabrication.

Trump has no problem throwing the country under the bus if it protects his money. Its not as if Pence would go along with any of this voluntarily. Its beyond Pence's control. He's a party guy, a team player.

1. This is why I like being an independent voter. I remember reading an article in Time magazine a couple years ago about how Russia was in financial trouble and the only way to climb out of it was war and getting sanctions removed. So, their involvement in Syria and getting cozy with Congress and the candidates for POTUS and ultimately the POTUS following Obama makes rational sense. As far as national security, I do not think it affects us as much as the 4th branch (the major media) want us to believe.
2. Yes. There's only one person that matters to Donald Trump and that's Donald Trump.
3. Yes, Pence is a political lap dog / yes man. There are too many like him, on both sides of the aisle, in government. I do not believe I need to bring up other examples and I doubt we have enough character space here anyway. haha

Unfortunately, I believe the only loyalty Trump has is to Trump. He campaigned on wall street corruption and one of the first things he does is remove the safeguards put in place to head off a repeat of the financial crisis that we faced in 2008. He claimed to be transparent and has given us the largest runaround and smoke and mirrors routine I have seen in my lifetime. His dedication to the trivial and personal image over actual substance is appalling.

His advocates justify his ongoing battle with critics as justified. let me give you a comparison to a president Trump could not hope to emulate on his best day.
36 years ago we had Ronald Regan in the White House and he drew more than his share of criticism and dislike from rivals and the media alike. Despite the flack he received he kept his cool, acted dignified, and performed the duties of his office with grace and flair. His ability to keep his head cool in the midst of attacks earned him the title of the Teflon President. In comparison, I think we will have to dub Trump the Velcro President, and as he flails around trying to deal with growing criticism of his behavior and tweets he loses the support of more and more of his party.

Msgt Borders; I took an oath to uphold the principles of the U.S. Constitution including adherence to the 'Commander In Chief,' ie: The Office Of The President Of The United States, regardless of who sits in that chair. My personal opinions on "matters of state?" They are no affairs of mine. I can tear hair, rant and rave under my own roof, but outside I do as I am directed and get on with life. Somewhere in there a major change took place within the media as a whole to go from the duty of 'reporting news' to outright attempts to 'make the news.' I stopped watching commercial TV over 50 years ago when I discovered how shallow the institution of media truly is. Just how important can anyone within the so-called "media' believe they can be when they exist only so long as I don't push a button, and I pushed mine a long time ago! Hard to be important when no one pays any attention to you, hmmm?

What everyone needs to understand is that the whole "Russia" thing was made up out of whole cloth by the liberals and the media (there I go, repeating myself again.) Since the devastating shock of Trump's election night victory, the left has been in a state of "cold" civil war. Since the beginning of our Republic, the party out of power has always self-identified as "The Loyal Opposition." No more. They now self-identify as "The Resistance." That is insurrection. The only question remaining is whether or not the civil war goes "hot," or cooler heads can prevail and step back from the brink. If America is to be "sold out," it will be the liberals who do it.... don't believe it?

Trump can't throw America under the bus, Woodrow Wilson did that on December 23,1913. The Federal Reserve Act was the final surrender of The Declaration of Independence and after that America has acted in diametric opposition to everything the founders intended. We no longer even have Capitalism because Capitalism requires a competitive Capital Supply. The Federal Reserve Act gave a monopoly on the U.S. capital Supply back to a privately held British firm which acts as the financial services conglomerate for the European Aristocracy, and the 16th Amendment pays them the tax on the paper money that no U.S. Government representative has any representative control over the issuance of. That is the same tax that was in the Stamp Act at 3% that is referred to in classrooms across the country when we are taught the Revolution was over "taxation without representation"; and that is exactly what we have today. Shortly thereafter we entered WWI to protect that capital supply, WWI being a continuation of the Crimean War which was an Aristocracy family feud over which families gained control over which oil fields. Every War since then, including the Cold War and these current wars has been a continuation of the same and a violation of the Founders edict of "No standing army, and stay out of Europe's wars." The Federal Reserve Act lead to the Great Depression which hit globally and when multiplied with the Treaty of Versailles created the situation in Germany which lead to Hitler's rise and the Holocaust while simultaneously our defense of Aristocracy Imperial holdings in the South China Sea/SE Asia region is what lead to Pearl Harbor and the Pacific Theater of WWII. The Cold War was fought to assure the Bolsheviks could not succeed in ending Feudalism, basically they fought the same revolution the Founders fought; unfortunately we surrendered before their revolution otherwise we would already be a space faring species. This is why the Founders said "stay out of Europe's wars." The wars today are just a continuation of protecting a Feudal financial system and maintaining global control for a set of families the founders fought to free us from.

So you see, we have been dragging under the bus for ove 100 years now. Putin is a Bolshevik, and China has bought most of the world's resources using the debt we handed them for cheap consumer goods. Trump may very well collapse what America has become, but what America has become is a far cry from what America was intended to be. Hopefully Americans will come to this realization and go back to the Founder's economic rules where Capital had to have a backing commodity, and anyone with the commodity could produce currency off it.
The best way to do that is to start the Hydrogen Economy. Urbanagandenergy.org

Russia stands to gain quite a bit.
1.a Weakening of sanctions. Sanctions are in place against many of Putin's friends, the oligarchs controlling the Russian government. These are the people that profited from the invasion of Georgia and Ukraine. Weakening sanctions essentially give Putin a "pass" for those invasions and would not discourage him from similar assaults to Finland, Latvia, Estonia, etc.
b. Read about Prevezon Holdings.
c. Weakening NATO. NATO is the only thing really holding Putin back from trying to expand eastward into its old satellite states.
d. weakening US standing on the world stage. While many people object to the US as the "world police", the role of the "leader of the free world" is also to use political pressure to resolve trade issue, assist other countries in times of emergency, etc along with the United Nations. Without the US filling this roll, Russia and China will undermine US influence in areas like eastern Europe, the South China Sea, etc.
2. Yes and YES. Trump has lots of investors from Russia in his businesses. Read about Prevezon Holdings. Some of that is "dirty money" being laundered by organized crime into New York real estate. Trump needed help when his casino's and other companies went bankrupt. Russian banks and oligarch stepped in when his US lenders wouldn't lend any more and wanted to be paid back. This is one reason he refuses to release his tax returns. The tax returns would provide a paper trail to the Russian oligarchs and other foreign banks that he owes. For Trump the only thing that matters is protecting his money and his ego.
3. Pence probably didnt know the extent of Trump's involvement with the Russians when he signed up for the job. Being the good, "God fearing" christian he is, Pence won't do anything to upset the status quo.
I do believe that the generals, e.g. Kelly, Mathis and others didn't know about Trump's engagement with the Russians. They won't "roll over" and throw the country under the bus. I believe they will let Trump and the country flounder but won't let things "get out of hand". I believe they too didn't know the extent of Trump's Russian connections when they signed up. But even now, they'll do what they can to protect the military services while the executive branch continues to embarrass itself.

why is russia such a threat? i served 8 years and all i heard was RUSSIA BAD AMERICA GOOD,,we have never been to war with russia. we have never been invaded by russia. the only thing i see is that the USA has been kicking the red headed step kids around for so long and getting by with it, the minute we try with russia and they dont do what we say we make them the enemy. North Korea is communist, china is communist, there are a load more commie nations out there, i have always heard that communist is bad and they must be destroyed yet we suck dick on china like it is the last supper. Korea is another joke that because they wont bow down they are the enemy. so damn what if they have nukes. we have nukes, china has nukes. we enabled Iran to have nukes yet we do business with them..oh and i forgot..crooked hillary sells 20% of our uranium reserves to russia yet they are the enemy. that is treason to me. why isnt she under the damn prison ? this whole bad guy good guy is an act to keep us at war and keep our men and women dying. so can anyone tell my why russia is an enemy if they do the exact thing we do?

Sp4 Byron Skinner. A rather complex set of question. Question what Russia will gain from an assumbed to be a more friendly Trump administration. As a world wide real-estate developer of course Trump has a lot to aging even is he tones down his business after he leaves off ice he will have the opportunity to made billions. Much more then if would have not served as President of the United States. The question here rest on a moral issue, which exceeds the scope of the question. The second question on selling out the United States. The simple one No. To expand on the answer. Relationships between the countries of the world are changing, we are in an era of political, cultural and military change. Russia is a structurally (to include the military) weak country with a small population and a lot of land. The economics since 1990 have bee one series of corrupt government after another, Putin is the latest one. It is not the US's job to change the Russian Government. Sory guys/gals but the US military is but lousy at Nation Building. Our weak senior chain of command can't do wars very well but the are totally inept of Nation Building. It not the fault of those O8 and below, those above are not good at war and have no intellectual interest or education in Politics, Economics and Culture. The three and four stars can't see why attacking corruption at high levels of government are more important then getting Propane and indoor stoves and small ovens into the mud hut villages. Finally on Vice President Pence, no he would not make a good President, he is to bound to antiquated Evangelical Christian dogma that simply has no place in 21st. Century America. Any man who won't have lunch or dinner with a female with out his wife present is not mature enough to deal with the issue of the 21st Century. After six months I see that most of the trouble people are having with Trump is not really the issues but Trumps message delivery and his self gratifying me first style. Move trump's position out of the augments and the boisterous delivery and I thing you will find a middle of the road New York liberal.

OK - here you go:
1. They gain a compromised President who they can subtly or not so subtly influence to get changes in US Policy favorable to their interests. They get sanctions lifted, perhaps. They get their spy houses in the USA back. They get more latitude in the Middle East, specifically, wrt Syria. No need to go on - there are all kinds of things all over the world. Just the fact that the President doesn't believe in climate change - and that a warming earth is an ADVANTAGE to Russia > opening up the northern sea passages to trade routes and thawing out millions of acres of (future) farmland, mineral deposits, etc. And, they get CHAOS in our government... which helps them, clearly. The list is endless.
2. Not intentionally in the way you pose the question - BUT, I do believe that this President will do just about anything that advances his own personal business interests / those of his own Family, and that he puts those considerations in front of America's interests - yes. He seems to think that these two things (his interest and our interests) are the SAME THING. They are not.
3. If the President falls, who becomes President? Yes absolutely the VP will "go along" - that guy sold his soul when he agreed to be this man's running mate. He's not going to commit treason, I doubt he'd go along with say, a nuclear strike; but neither is he going to stop the President from destroying himself, and damaging our Country in the process.

In what way? From what perspective? From a post 1914 perspective, you bet, he wants to see the Federal Reserve collapse. From a Founders' perspective allowing the Fed to collapse is necessary, but only if we get back to their Resource Based Economy rules and Free Market Capitalism uses which require a Free Capital Market where anyone with backing resource to create currency from it.

What we have now is debt based currency issued by a monopoly that is owned by the same families the Founders revolted from; we returned to Feudalism and gave up the Founders' ethics. So from a Founders perpctve Trump can't throw us under the bus because we have been under it for a century already.

What we need is to build a new socio-economic foundation that capitalizes our society the way the Founders intended, and we have the technology to do so in the Hydrogen Economy like this: urbanagandenergy.org/how/

Now Trump is unlikely to do this, but he brings the opportunity for change with him as people start to realize how wrong everything has gone. The Ponzi scheme that is our economy of forced debt (which is why the Founders forbade debt based currency and told us to stay the hell out of Europe's wars) and constant war is collapsing, there is no saving it anymore. Look at what the Russians and Chinese have been doing economically while Trump has been providing distraction; the Communists have taken over global infrastructure financing in all the countries we have left go hungry under Aristocracy provided warlords while they provide us with all the resources we need from there. Where Gaddafi failed, China is succeeding, and the funny thing is, they are using our debt to do it. They are making friends where we are making enemies, and it's all thanks to WalMart. The Yuan has Reserve Currency status, all the stage is set for them to collapse Rothschild Group and the Feudal Aristocracy they represent.

The one person America has going for us in this whole scenario is Secretary Mattis. He has the respect required to take over in this kind of threat and the ability to retask the military industrial complex and mobilize them in a constructive, rather than destructive, manner. The only question is, "Does he have a plan?" The thing that can save us from a confrontation with China over our autonomy is the ability to produce more food than we would under their management. Luckily that would be easy to do if we invest 1 year's defense budget into Urban Agriculture infrastructure combined with hydrogen fuel infrastructure. Not only that, wwe take care of our homelessness and underemployment issues at the same time.
It will be interesting to see what October brings with the 100th anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution. It would be nice if we actually started investing in a replacement economy before then.

I do not believe that Trump will do anything that would affect our National Security.

What could any foreign political entity gain from a fractured United States? With the citizens of this country divided as deeply between political ideologies, we have a limit to what we can do politically. America is more than our military, more than our diplomatic corps, more than manufacturing or education or public and private sectors. When faced with deep political debate, many of the institutions society depends on face uncertainty and paralysis. Institutions are made up of people, after all.
1. What does Russia gain? Uncertainty among our allies. Indecision in US Policy. Mistrust and lack of national unity of our citizens. Damage control in our institutions instead of direction and purpose. Our government is only as stable as the people who run it. When you have such deep political divide over such deep issues as health, religion, monetary policy, use of force, race, or environment, who benefits? Multinational corporations, and foreign governments who mistrust us.
You were in during the collapse of the Soviet Union, what did we gain? Russian business went to the highest bidders, and the country was carved up and is now managed by kleptocrats. These are the true supporters of President Putin.

1. "United we stand. Divided we fall." The mere fact that the US is so damn divided negatively impacts our national security and aids Russia's position in the world. It is a well established fact that Russia is actively trying to drive a wedge through the heart of America. It baffles me that the political party that once chanted the mantra "Better dead than Red" suddenly views their great adversary as a harmless chum.
2. Yes I believe DJT would do virtually anything in his personal interest. He would sell out the USA as quickly as he sold out the USFL (US Football League) if he thinks it would help him get something he wants. He has a well established personal history of such behavior. Simply compare his *talk* about America First versus the *actions* of DJT and his various companies. He says hire Americans but his companies always seek H1B Visas to hire foreign workers here in America. The vast majority of Trump and Ivanka products are made overseas by foreign workers. He talks one way and acts another way. Sort of like not donating any of the money raised in the name of veterans until after reporters call him on it; or promising money to a grieving Gold Star dad but not paying until after it hits the news. Or compare his rants about the costs of Obama's golf habit versus his actions and his personal golf habit. The man is a fraud that is always looking to take care of himself.
3. In 2016 and early 2017, I ignorantly held a higher opinion of the VP but he has since lost my confidence. Spiro Agnew stuck with Nixon almost to the end and Pence tends to try to clean up after Trump far more than he avoids going along with things. Pence is one of the few in the White House Trump has not been mad with. IMHO, Pence is already looking at becoming the 46th President one way or the other. Back in May, Pence quietly became the only first-term VP in history to form his own political-action committee (PAC), the Great America Committee. His credibility and integrity are already in tatters with a large segment of the population. IMHO, the self-billed "Rush Limbaugh on decaf" has quite a few strange ideas of his own.

IMHO - Hillary would have been horrible, but Donald is not any better. They are BOTH AWFUL. Clinton and her group can go to jail for any crimes they participated in, while Trump and his group can do the same. At this point, both the Rep & Dem political parties are bad for America.

2. No, this administration has been more pro-American that the last one.
3. No, because the Trump administration is trying their best to support America and her legal citizens.
Lets ask the question in a different way, do you think the Obama administration with help from Hillary have been trying to throw America under the bus? Well maybe we will find out soon.

I believe that President Trump has already done more for our military and Vets than we have seen in many years . He appointed General Mattis , how long has it been since a President put a non PC General in charge ? Holding VA Hospital Leadership Accountable. For care . All I see past media hype is a President who wants to make America strong again for all Americans , not by voting block . But by being an American Citizen . If that sounds like a President who would sell out America he sure is doing a bad job of it

1. Russia has a lot to gain from having access to our national security services... This isn't to say they currently have access or will in the future but come on, don't act like Russia wouldn't profit off a stooge in the white house.
2. It all depends on what you consider selling out. I truly believe he doesn't make every decision with the best interest of the people in mind. On the flip side I don't think he will give Putin our launch codes. So it depends on where the line is drawn for selling out.
3. I believe its very easy for second in commands to be left out of the loop on every decision.

I'd like to add another question though. Why not apply the same level of doubt and investigation to this president that was applied to presidencies in the past? Our elections are supposed to be a sacred process which is why voter fraud is investigated to all ends, the people running should be held to a higher standard than those voting for them, and things like how Clinton came to possess the dossier as well as possible ties to Russian oligarchs with trump should be, at the very least, looked at. Its like they saying goes, if you have nothing to hide you've got nothing to fear.

I think that is a serious and a silly question all at once. The short answer is no, of course. Although, there are dems that feel this way because Killary and Grandpa Bernie we’re well on their way to doing just that. Killary has thrown Americans under the bus in all actuality and at least 4 that are confirmed died because of it. I suspect that any halfway decent investigator could prove that there are over 50 more kills to her credit. Bernie and his attaché were willing to have the federal government pay for education, health care and a hundred other things that the federal government has no business being involved in. Too many people forget that the highest form of government in the US is at the individual state level. Any state can enact laws that negate federal law so long as it is better for their people. We live in a republic and that’s how it works. Get used to it.

Trump is out for Trump and has been actively courted by the Soviets and now the Russian Federation since 1997. If he had been trying to get a TS Clearance the way most of us have had to, by undergoing a rigorous background investigation, those business connections would have been enough to deny it. I had to disagree with so many of my extended military family, but this really looks to me a lot like treason. I have no doubt that the administration would sell out the United States, based on the idea that"what good for General Bullmoose" is good for the USA. Folks, he insulted and sold out NATO until forced to step back; we are embarrassed by our "withdrawal" from the Paris Climate Accords despite the overwhelming world agreement with them. He lies with impunity; selling out the USA is no different than lying about the size of the crowds at his inauguration. Pence was a failure as a governor and never introduced successful legislation as a Congressman. He's chosen to neuter himself -- none of us who know how the military works would expect Flynn to have done any of the things he did without clearance from above. They knew...they knew...they knew.

I think a lot of you aren't being objective. RallyPoint clearly has a right-leaning bent, and any response that starts with "Dems covering for election losses" is almost wilfully negligent of a couple of facts. I may even agree that there's an effort to push off the DNC and Clinton's inadequacies on Russian influence, but that's not the whole story by a long shot.

1. What does Russia have to gain?
With South Ossetia and Crimea, Russia has been profoundly expansionist in the last decade under Putin, and temporarily, Medvedev (we know who still was in power). This has rightly made Poland, other former Soviet bloc, and Baltic states rightly nervous. As such, we've increased our commitment to them significantly. We're fielding tens of thousands of Guard soldiers through these states at an unprecedented scale. We have ongoing operations in Poland literally named "Deter Russian Aggression."
Anyone that avers that Russia has nothing to gain from leverage on the executive branch clearly lacks situational awareness.
HOWEVER, before some conservative tears into me, I would point out that the fact that these missions continue at the same pace as under the previous administration may mean Russian influence is overstated.

But there is evidence. Manafort, Flynn, Sessions, etc. How significant these things may be isn't clear, but there's plenty of evidence Russia *tried*, and they did make contact with the administration, without dispute, prior to Trump's victory and during the transition. This is a matter of fact now, not subject for debate.
2. Would the administration sell out America? I'd like to believe no, but the reality is, some may not see suffering Russian expansion as "selling out America." Any response here is subjective. The previous two administrations already sat on their hands with South Ossetia and Ukraine, so I'm not convinced countering Russian expansionism has changed. Being on less adversarial terms with Putin seems to have little impact on the ground. Russia is going to do what Russia is going to do. We have coequal branches of government, and Congress may push action where the President might not. And we have to evaluate for ourselves whether Russian expansionism is a bigger strategic threat to us than China's growing assertion in the Pacific.
3. What VP Pence would do is almost immaterial. I'm not convinced he has a significant role in present foreign policy. I believe now as I did when he was selected that he was an appeal to a conservative base who were rightly dubious of Trump's moral fiber. I do believe that at some point, VP Pence will be POTUS.

This issue has legs, whether we want to reduce it to partisanship or not. I also don't think it bears being pigeonholed into a black and white, he did/he didn't, frame.

Trump only wanted one change in the Republican party platform , during his run for office ( that got him elected by 26% of our registered voters while 50% slept and did not vote )That was that America would NOT give military support or arms to the Ukraine. That HELPED Russia , and BETRAYS our national security interests.
His lack of support forces the NATO allies that I was stationed with in Germany unsure if they can trust us. I liked the fact that we USED to have allies before the cowardly orange draft dodger ruined that for us .Trump is rapidly destroying that .
And he continues to aggravate an individual who is as crazy as he is , and also has nukes , in North Korea. He has no self control whatsoever of his mouth and tweets like an idiot constantly. He has deprioritized our state department to the point where half of the population of the planet lives in a country where the US embassy has NO AMERICAN AMBASSADOR.He i refuses to listen to some of the best advisors in the world.

In my opinion, this is goes to show that Donald Trump would throw anyone under the bus, would lie, cheat, steal, or conspire with the Russians if he thought it would help him "win".

There is clear evidence several in the Trump campaign did break the law, however it doesn't appear that there is anything that can be directly linked to Trump.

Russians did not have to "hack our elections" (with or without collusion with Donald Trump) or advertise on Facebook for me to know that I did not want Hillary Clinton as president of the United States, I do not care if she were running against Donald Trump, or Donald Duck.

1. I believe they wanted to thaw U.S. / Russian Relations. Counterpoint - What do Pro-Caliphate countries gain by contributing so much money to the Clintons?

2. Pre-election, we call it conspiring... but post-elections, we'd call them summits or talks. Okay, fine. Post-election friction (since we're rubbing Russia the wrong way now) would dictate that the conspiring was not real. It just does not seem to make any algebraic sense to have done so.

He and his administration have already done that with the tax plan that was just passed. That was not meant to help anyone but a few "elite" Americans to include Trump.
As far as dealings with Russia and all the rhetoric about conspiracy, I firmly believe the business man in Trump would turn a blind eye to ensure a good "trade relation" for businesses he has in that part of the world. This could even make us vulnerable and threaten our National Security.
As far as Pence and Congress...of course they will. Pence is not quite as like minded as Trump, but close enough. Congress...as fearful, embarrassed and disgusted as they were at the onset have now resolved themselves to back the Party line and Trumps wishes, as well as the "money donors" and their interests.

They found nothing wrong, no problem when it came to any & all collusion with the Democratic Messiah made his open mike promise to Russian President Medvedev or Hillary Clinton giving 20% of US uranium to the Russians then received $145 million in donations to the Clinton Foundation. Not to mention Bill’s $500,000 speech to the Russians after deal done… hypocrites much? They just can’t make up their own reality, oh that’s right they’re Democrats, haha.

Since the Russian thing never panned out it’s off to the next horrific act they can come up with to detract from... the screams of “Impeach Forty-five!” Federal lawsuits of violating the emoluments clause, the invocation of the Twenty-fifth Amendment for being mentally unfit, etc. etc.

The left wing in America will shun no lie, no fabrication, and can be rightfully accused of out right hatred for those of us who believe the Constitution is a good framework for ordering public life.

Does it really matter who is leading the country? Dem or Rep, all politicians. The real question is follow the money, who are they getting there money from? The American Ideal is just that an Ideal, something to strive for. We all fail in that. We pledge to this flag of ours. As long as long as there no liberty or justice and we keep our eyes closed, or condone, we as Americans fail in that pledge. I swore an oath to up hold and defend the Constitution and Bill of Rights for all Americans. I may disagree with you, I respect your view and your rights. Anyone included leadership that fails in that sworn oath is an enemy, betraying that that oath and a trader. So I defend all, I mean all under that oath, no exception even if I disagree with them.

His crudeness aside, I believe Trump's heart is FIRMLY ROOTED in "what is best for America, and the American PEOPLE/CITIZENRY, right NOW and for future generations."

Yes, he can be an ass. YES, he pisses people off. YES, he has the establishment trembling and wanting to "END HIM", and yes, he is putting other Nations on notice. America First, not America Alone.

The fact that the U.S. establishment hates him, and fears him, makes me LIKE HIM even more.

Given the tone of some of the other responses I feel compelled to inject some common sense.

A. Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election happened. It is an incontrovertible fact that every single national intelligence gathering agency agrees on. The question isn't whether or not it happened, but to what extent. The primary means seems to have been deliberately flooding social media with false information that was viewed and shared by millions. (propaganda for lack of a better term.) There is some evidence that russian linked hackers also researched more direct interference regarding how to hack voting machines. HOWEVER there is no publicly available evidence showing that piece was ever put into action. Everything I have written above is factual information that can be confirmed by literally hundreds of reputable, documented sources. As long as you avoid the extreme left sites- MSNBC, Huffington Post, Occuppy Democrats, etc. and the extreme right- Fox News, Conservative Daily, Tucker Carlson, etc. it will take less than 5 minutes to confirm.

B. Given those facts the collusion investigation is not a "leftist fantasy". The point of the investigation is to determine if the Trump campaign knew about and actively participated in the Russian interference or was an unwitting beneficiary. Secondarily it is meant to determine if the campaign/administration took steps to hide their involvement and/or influence the investigation to prevent it discovering the same. Both of those actions would be highly illegal and should be investigated. Why? The constitution of the United States is meant to, among other things, ensure a democratically elected representative government. If a candidate for president is allowed to openly consipire with a foreign governement to win an election it completely invalidates that process. Do we know for sure that happened? No. THAT'S WHY THERE HAS TO BE AN INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION. This should not be a partisian issue. Nor is it about the outcome of the 2016 presidential election. It is about ensuring we can maintain the integrity of our electoral process. Period.

As for the other questions:
1. Russia could potentially gain an executive branch that is in their debt and would be more likely to respond positively to their requests/interests. EX/ Trump intially spoke repeatedly about closer ties with Russia and immediately set about relaxing Russian sanctions put in place by Obama.

2. Simple- To win. Trump was a deeply flawed candidate for the presidency. Even pitted against another deeply flawed candidate, Clinton, there was a strong chance he could lose. Secondarily it is possible, given his refusal to release financial information, that he has strong monetary ties to Russian buisnesses. I will not speculate on that relationship without more information.

3. Maybe. If it ensured victory, they didn't have to actively participate, and was unlikely to be discovered, Pence and key members of the GOP might've been willing to turn a blind eye. This also assumes that they knew before/while it was happening not after. Afterwards (yes I know I'm being cycnical- but I don't have much trust for politicians of either party) they would be willing to go along until Trump became too much of a political albatross/liability. At which point he'll be sacrificed and they'll deny having known anything about it.

Lastly would Trump throw America under the bus? If there was a benefit to himself, Trump Inc, his family, friends, or croonies, absolutely. I do not trust he would do something that would be morally right or benefit the country at large if there was any sort of a negative impact on him personally.

I really do not understand how any member of the US military can support President Trump. The man had no leadership ability. If he were in your chain of command at the battalion level or lower you would most likely hate him. Why? Because he is a hypocrite who expects all subordinates to follow every rule, but does not follow them himself. He brags of how great he is, but hasn’t accomplished anything to prove it.
And before you respond that Obama was also a terrible leader, you should remember that Obama served his community in some of the worst parts of Chicago as a leader before embarking on a political career. The only one that Trump has ever served is himself.

With all due respect. I believe your using loaded questions with untruths as a foundation. A real discussion should not start with "...no evidence at the present to validate the accusations" while not tying it directly to the president there is overwhelming evidence of collusion from the administration. You actually allude to the fact by trying to deflect the seriousness of the act by stating the US has interfered with other countries elections (albeit true) but at the same time deny that it happened to this administration.

So I don't know how open minded of a discussion you desire.

MSgt, Trump is the best thing that has happened to the military in ten years. As far as throwing America under the bus.....I think all we have to do is look at the evidence so far....The question you should be asking is whether the Democrats would throw America under the bus.....they do it everyday. They and RINO's are actively trying to undermine and ruin everything Trump is doing. They should be run out of office. Answer to Q1: There has been no finding of collusion between Trump and Russians but plenty between Democrats and Russia from Hillary Clinton directly, the DNC and Barack Obama directly.....yes they have all caused problems for national security, including Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State selling favors to the Russians who as a result now control 20% of Uranium in the US.....why isn't she in prison? Answer to Q2: The Trump administration did not collude with Russia, not even the Trump campaign....the Democrats did, illegally.....they also illegally tapped Trump campaign HQ based on made up evidence they purchased from a British Agent for millions.... Answer to Q3: What idea? To Collude? There was no collusion....nothing to go along with, but to answer your question, I don't believe Mike Pence would be involved with something like that. Would Joe Biden? YES ABSOLUTELY.....would Joe Biden make racist remarks like "You can't go into a 7-11 these days without seeing "towel-head" behind the counter? Yes he would....he did. Would Bill Clinton say something like "10 years ago, he would have been serving us coffee" when discussing the campaign of Barack Obama? Yes he would and he did in 2007. Democrats have been on a witch hunt since they began to understand that Trump was a threat to them, they are guilty of every single thing they accuse Donald Trump of doing.

First of all I think that any Russian intervention in our elections has been going on for decades. You only hear about it now because they are doing this through computers which can be traced easier than some clandestine spy trying to throw a wrench into our gears. But that's the least of our problems. I think there has been unbelievable looting going on in congress and the election of Trump,which everyone swore was impossible, has upset the apple cart in DC so that those congressmen who are doing the looting are now scared to death they will get caught. The chain of good old boys who "won" elections over and over has been interrupted and Trump will crucify them if he catches them.
It has to be the money. Why would so many congressmen be interested enough in the World Government to throw our American way of life to the dogs and let some foreign board of directors rule our country? It just doesn't figure.
Anyway it won't happen on Trumps watch but with the democraps in power it would happen in a heart beat. That scares the hell out of me because I can see a revolution in America again if that happens. At least we are safe for the next couple of years.

1. What WOULDNT Russia gain from having a puppet president?
2. If he did conspire with Russia, I believe he did it for two reasons. One being that he has historically shown he doesn't care for other people and will step over anyone to get what he wants. I believe the second reason would be that he simply just didn't know he couldn't.
3. I don't believe Pence or Congress would go along with colluding.

Throw America under the bus. Well, I don’t think anyone who is elected goes into it thinking they are going to screw over the American people. I do think they go into it thinking they are going to make changes for the better. Now, better is a point of view. So I don’t think so. Russia didn’t care who got elected as long as it wasn’t Hillary. Not because she would be tougher but because she is an annoying untrusted radical. Not radical in the sense of politics but in the sense of consistency. She is hard to control, not because of ideology but greed. The Russian proved to themselves that they could manipulate the American people. For them, mission accomplished. There was no conspiracy with Russia- it was just an opportunity for the republican candidate that the corruption of the democrats was exposed by the Russians.

I think this whole Russian collusion crap is still going on to benefit the democrats period. I don't think there ever was any collusion except by the left. The bs dossier was bought by the Clinton Campaign to use against candidate Trump. It was called salacious and unverified. Clinton destroyed 30 some odd thousand emails and no prosecution for destruction of government properties or obstruction of justice. The Vice President would never be apart of a collusion with Russia. It's moronic to suggest that the whole administration would be apart of something like this and not think it would come out.

Term limits must be set for all levels of government, including judges, the unbelievable perks and privileges must be done away with - 2 terms and they get a 6 figure pension and better healthcare then us Vets - we need to make public service in the political spectrum as unappealing as we can - remove lobbying, and all the financial ties it - make regulations that campaigns can only be funded by private citizens and keep it to $1000 limits - we need to go back to if someone is crazy enough to want the job, then they are the wrong person for the job. but it will not happen - we will continue to led and manipulated by the media - which, through manipulative word choices and rhetoric, tell Americans how to think, how to vote, and how to socially interact - case in point regarding the media - everyone of them is reporting that the US broke an agreement, violated an accord, or ended a treaty - what the media is not telling you is - the agreement was never binding in the first place - the Senate and the House were circumnavigated and never had a vote on it - let that sink in - the last POTUS entered an agreement with a foreign country without congressional approval. He bypassed the checks and balances that were supposed to prevent this. Second - according to the agreement, POTUS had to reaffirm participation in it after certain amounts of time had passed because it was not a treaty or accord, in fact it was not binding to the country - this POTUS decided not to affirm participation in it, which was within his purview and legal - yet the masses, through manipulative word choices and rhetoric would make you believe that we broke a treaty and that this POTUS is the devil - the ones who really control this country are not the politicians, its the media

if you want the young vote - tell them you will give them "free" shit like college tuition and universal healthcare - they do not understand that the funding that they get comes from the taxpayers, and they do not understand that burden because they are not paying taxes yet - you want the minority vote, tell them that you will create more programs that will focus on their issues and then forget about them after your in office, you want the rural vote, tell them you will further subsidize their agricultural businesses, and then watch as their crops and livestock rot because there are no buyers ( The United States destroys more food at the source then any other industrialized country - google it) - all you have to do is make it emotional - people are driven by their emotions, not their reasoning. Do everything in your power to polarize the issues - make it us vs them - then dehumanize and degrade any who have an opposing view - you want to know why there are such high racial tensions in America - it's because the politicians and the Media want us divided - Identity politics are an emotional nuclear bomb - you cannot think if you feel your identity is being attacked - it is the cruelest form of manipulation and it focuses on tribalism, ethnicity, race, religion, gender, sexual preference, sexual identity all the things that make us different while demonizing all the things that make us the same - African American, Asian American, European American, Native American, Mexican American - how about we just do away with the first part and Identify as just American - because that would be a uniting ideology and we cnt have that - they might start thinking for themselves - and along with the identity politics , lets start campaigns to regulate the first and second amendments - if we get enough people to make an emotional decision, we can chip away at those two troublesome freedoms and further solidify our power.

Honestly I am sick of it all - at this point a civil war can break out and I wont care one whit about any of them, not the politicians, not the people, and not the media - they made this bed, they can lie in it.

Let’s take a look at your first sentence:

“No evidence at the present to validate the accusations.”

No evidence? Are you on Mueller’s team, to where you can make that claim? We don’t know what Mueller has behind closed doors.

1. Putin gains by making our nation a laughing stock to others. We lose our standing in the world, and Putin gains.

2. We’ve already seen signals that they have. George Popodopolous bragging to an Australian about Russia having damaging dirt on Clinton; Don Jr’s correspondence with Natalya Veselnitskaya.

3. Congress is—at the very least—enabling him. Devin Nunes, who was on the Trump transition team, chaired the House Intelligence Committee, where the Republicans claimed no evidence of collusion, without allowing Dems to finish their investigation—or Mueller to finish his.

And for all of you supporting Trump but bashing Obama, you should be ashamed of yourselves. Trump mocked a POW (McCain: “I like my war heroes not to have been captured); he took a Purple Heart from a vet and said “I always wanted one of these—this was much easier”; he denigrated a gold star family (the Khans). His comments about Kaepernick are appalling; each and every one of you served to protect the very freedom of speech that his protest utilized. Yet Trump condemned him, and urged for him to be fired. Whether or not you agree with his protest, the fact of the matter is that you served to serve and protect the Constitution. Our president is currently verbally assaulting that document. Don’t believe me? Look at his attacks on Kaepernick (protected by the First Amendment). Look at his attacks on the press (who are protected by the First Amendment; he’s threatened their broadcast licenses). And before anyone gets started, I understand the First Amendment doesn’t protect Kaepernick from being fired from private employment. But it’s certainly bad optics that our president is attacking him and urging for him to be fired, yeah? Trump is an embarrassment to this nation, and I couldn’t be happier that I’ll never have to serve under his dumb, hateful, closed-minded ass.

The meeting with Russians at trump tower I believe was huge as well as the White House meeting with Russian diplomats without any other Americans was dangerous and stupid. There’s been 19 indictments and 4 guilty pleas. That’s not no evidence. It deserves looking into. Maybe it was ignorance by some but it deserves looking into. We’ve spent more on dumber shit.

Sir:
Russia has gained nothing. Reading the "messages" that Russians allegedly posted on social media, there seems no way that these childish and simplistic "themes" could have cost Hillary Clinton the election. She lost because she was a bad candidate with a lot of baggage, and she forgot to care for the people whom she expected to elect her. She and the Democrats have gone WAY to the left and they aren't taking care of the American working people.
There has been zero evidence of any Trump campaign-related conspiracy with Russia found in the 18-month Mueller "investigation". What has been found shows that the Democrat campaign employed Obama appointees in the Dept of Justice and Office of the Director of National Intelligence to set up a fake "dossier" and then gain FISA Court surveillance warrants on false pretenses. It's all crap. And it will end with FBI and DoJ criminals going to jail.

There is no reason to believe Trump colluded with the Russians. However his whole management of the country on a whole has been abysmal, not to mention his demeanor. He appointed the absolute antithesis to each cabinet post and they have proceeded to dismantle your government piece by piece.

The 'First' Russian Collusion in the 2016 race was In Support Of Bernie. When the DNC rigged the Primaries to get HiLAIRy to win they then supported both The Donald and HilLAIRy often getting protesters from both sides to the same event and encouraging violent clashes.
Then there is the fact while the Steel Dossier (funded by the DNC, HilLAIRy campaign AND the FBI) claimed The Donald wanted the bed President Obama slept ion in Moscow pissed on (never verified) the HilLAIRy campaign was going to both the Russian AND Ukrainian governments to find/create dirt on The Donald.

I didn't even vote for him but that being said, I think there is alot of hysteria going on with not alot of actual evidence. I hear alot of him being referred to as Hitler, etc but he nor the republicans and conservatives for that matter are the ones condoning and advocating censorship on speech (through violence in most cases- Antifa who they glorified and telling people to attack/harass members of the administration in the streets) and the repeal of the 2nd amendment. So being on the outside has offered quite the view...there is a disconnect when you have one side accusing the president and the opposing party of Hitler like tendencies and fascism yet they are the ones trying to abolish either through outright saying it or through their actions our rights of free speech and way to defend ourselves so I don't know what to tell you.

The Soviet Union has actively infiltrated our media, schools, unions, churches, and Government since Lenin. During the Viet Nam War, the communists spent over $1 billion to create the anti-war movement. The LAST person the old Soviets, such as prior KGB Colonel Putin, would want as US Prsident would be Donald Trump.

Standard insurgency methodology is to accuse your enemy of doing what you are doing. While everyone chases the false allegation, the Revolution continues.

Interested in more details? Shortly after The Wall fell, the KGB Archivist, Vasily Mitrokhin, defected to the UK with a suitcase full of notes. Those notes guided our search for KGB records, remember EVERYTHING was for sale when the Soviet Union collapsed.

Based on actual KGB documents, Ann Coulter wrote the book, Treason about 2000. Then the Grove City College history professor, Paul Kengor, wrote the book, Dupes, in 2010.

Dupes details the communist infiltration of American media, academia, unions, churches, and Govermment from Lenin through Obama.

Military Intelligence knew much of this but could not talk about it. The compromised media ridiculed the House Hearings on UnAmerican Activities, destroyed Senator McCarthy (he helped as an alcoholic), discounted defectors’ testimony to Congress, and ignored Richard Wormbrand’s testimony about persecution of Christians.

In short, the real Muscovite Moles were Obama and Hillary.

And that is a recipe for career disaster. Whether you like the man in charge or not, we've seen firsthand, multiple times, what happens when you aren't tactful about that distain .

Generals relieved. Enlisted members drummed out. For speaking their minds about a political subject in a venue, while making their military affiliation known.

Everyone on RP is connected to that affiliation. And no one is anonymous.

facts are facts - these are facts

1. the end of NATO would be a coup. Russia's economy is smaller than California's and it's invaded and occupied Georgia, Ossetia, Abkhasia, Ukraine and Crimea, assassinated the head of government of Montenegro, and is assaulting Macedonia, physically threatening Montenegro and Macedonia for applying to join NATO ...

- 2. the entire NATO intelligence community has universally agreed the Putin/Russia is sabotaging NATO and USa elections and infrastructure. Putin/Russia closed down the Baltic nation NATO allies's economies several times - there are several major Russian military and criminal cabal organizations engaged in sabotage of the USA and NATO and other USA allies

3. the entire USA intelligence community is universally agreed that Putin/Russia did interfere with USA elections - the details are too numerous to state - the indictments run pages and pages of explicit incontrovertible detail - denial is obtuse - the details are there in print all over the world - no serious member of any intelligence disagrees

4. in his own words, in Russian, putin admitted his personal efforts to get DTs elected

5. the Russian parliament held hearings about GRU's success in interfering in USa elections, in Brexit and in their successful psyops against NATO/USA and televised them.

6. 100% of Putin/Russian criminal cartel wealth is oil, coal, and gas, and the Siberian forests: Russia's economy is small potatoes so the Republican Party in the USA is its only guarantee of economic and political power - a revitalized USA infrastructure would bankrupt them and the most effective USa weapon is its banking sanctions and 80-90% of DTs family's business interests are Russian financed, Russian owned

...but we are USA military and/or veterans and are WE now taking sides with the same enemy killing us in places like Syria - where is your patriotism?

is there someone in uniform in the USA who wants me to turn on my country and get into bed with my enemy to make cadet orange oaf loaf heel splints richer greedier and sleazier - never

I enlisted during the Cuba crisis willing to die to keep us safe from the Putins and the KGB war mongers - so what that Curtiss LeMay was an unindicted war criminal. and fire bombed our POWs in Dresden - we are USa Americans not the enemy. shame!

Switzerland Canada The UK and the USa have tried and convicted conspirators in this conspiracy against USA and NATO democracy FACT. it's hundreds of pages of detailed USA Intelligence already published in USa court documents so the denial is obscene and insulting to us - NATO allies have videos inside Russian installations and computer keystrokes - personal names , computer ID - etc

it's obscene to take sides with a bloody handed geniocidal maniac like Putin against our military, against our intelligence community, against NATO and its military personnel and their democracy

- 1.2 million chechniyans: 800K ethnically cleansed. 200K killed outright - for example. Crimea Ukraine Ossetia Abkhasia and Georgia invaded with tanks and occupied because of applying for membership in NATO, allies of the USa, and all NATO and USa elections sabotaged - NATO ally economies shut down. Chief of States of countries applying to join NATO assassinated by GRU

and so it's obscene for a USA president to get into bed with our enemy

what does he get? his business has been built entirely on Russian finance from Russian criminal cartel banks - he was bankrupt in the 1990s and no bank would give him a sous until Russian cartel financing allowed him suddenly to buy -in cash- properties no developer would ever invest in with their own money

for the president of the usa to call all its allies enemies and the whole usa military and intelligence community wrong and a conspiracy against him personally is an insult, unforgivable insult to every person ever to wear a usa military uniform …

and to embrace our enemy currently shooting at USA military - what has happened to patriotism

climate change is reality. a totally rebuilt USA infrastructure would provide a totally revitalized usa economy and alternative energy economics would totally bankrupt the tiny Putin/Criminal Cartel Russian economy whose banks are 100% the financial basis of the DT business which own about 900% of the DT investment portfolio: it's about 9 times it's total value under water. all financed by Cartel cash and Putin egomania … The Putin Russian Cartel is being killed by USa banking regulations and sanctions … as anybody with an IQ above room temperature could take time to read [Russia's economy is smaller than califoirnia's. not a world power.]

Patriotic Republicans who've served the country their entire professional lives under the last 4 or so presidents happen to be the directors of and managers of our intelligence community... along with the intelligence community of NATO, and our allies world wide, our intelligence and our military are in total agreement. they are in complete agreement about the aims, the methods, the achievements of and weaknesses of the Putin/Russia war establishment and its operations to deny democratic elections in NATO ally countries

the indictments, the convictions, the confessions, and the court papers available and recently declassified documents prove in minute explicit detail down to IP addresses and keystrokes what this conspiracy is and denial of these facts is mentally indefensible

choose to deny it. deny the science. deny the economics. deny the politics - that's your choice.

but our grandchildren's grandchildren will never know... because this administration according to Putin's own mouth, and the collective witness of the Russian Parliament, was put there for their profits and we lost this round - profiteering from Armageddon and the virtual end of vertebrate life on this planet - not in a Hollywood post apocalypse a millennium from now but people already alive today will know it - if not my lifetime, i'm 75, but in many of yours

it's unquestionably strategic.

Russia has brigades of troops and and whole research communities devoted to the cyber assault and sabotage of usa infrastructure, our intelligence infrastructure, our military strategic position

using weaknesses and inadequacies in our cyber intel, they invaded gorgia, abkhasiya, ossetia, crimea and ukraine and occupy those countries and routinely engage in assassinations and actions against opponents including heads of state, and locked down whole economies of NATO allies - don't dare say, "well the USa does too"

1. 35 indictments and 1 on going trial of Trumps campaign manager is not just Rhetoric. It's not a witch hunt conducted by Democrats. The FBI is largely populated by republicans, as is Marine Mueller, Comey and Rosenstein, who was appointed by Trump, by the way. Russia gains by getting out of the Sanctions that are strangling the financial health of the Putin created Oligarchs. They might turn on him if he has no power to reward those who do Putin's dirty work. They have an economy that is about the size of Italy, and they will flounder if we keep those sanctions in place. We are a democracy and Putin runs a dictatorship. I know in the Military we are a top down org, but the true patriots that founded this country thought, as do I, that Democracy is the BEST form of government. We shouldn't do it either, two wrongs don't make a right, and we all know it.
2. It is obvious to this mother, that Donald is lying and obfuscating and is not telling the truth. Worse, it now appears that he has been obstructing justice. There is something that the Russians have on him, and we will find out pretty soon, so keep your powder dry...
3. Pence is a sycophant and will do anything because he isn't thinking, he is merely believing that the unreal GOD is in control and that he will someday be president. Congress has no spine and will do whatever trump says because they are afraid of his small and diminishing white male base.

Sorry fellas, you're just too gullible, please start reading your news from various sources, in fact, try the BBC, or even RT, who seems to know more about what plans we have for battle than the generals do now. Ask yourself, why would Trump not brief Pompeo about the 2.5 hour private conversation he had with Putin? Why not tell the SecDef? or ANYONE? You need to start thinkng for yourselves, our country depends on it, from one old Vietnam era Vet.

Obama wasn’t a good president.
Hillary is a corrupt and terrible person and likely would have been an absolutely terrible president. I doubt that’s even debatable.

However.

That doesn’t for one minute have ANY bearing on whether the current potus is or isn’t a terrible president also.

It’s possible many of us just cannot or will not see past our own biases, on BOTH sides of the fence, with enough clarity to see things rationally. I think soon enough indisputable evidence, for or against, will be provided of some sort.

I have served under every president since Reagan.

I hated Obama.
I hate Killary
I hated Bill Clinton

I have voted republican every single election since I was old enough to cast a ballot. 30 years of voting and this is the first election ever in which I couldnt vote republican. Im a die hard, 2A supporting, Constitution adhering lover of liberty. I’m not some liberal, thin-skinned snowflake looking for a safe place or wet behind the ears, millennial generation college student. I would have done anything to keep her out of the White House and I STILL couldn’t bring myself to vote for him. That’s saying something.

I think America has been thrown under busses for years by several administration. Sitting President giving nuke tech to China after they were his biggest campaign contributors. When that hit the news the president had an intern to throw under the bus. President giving nuke tech to Iran as a peace gesture or popularity or something. A former President endorses a person under federal investigation rather than supporting someone that is not main party. Presidents encouraging home loans to people who cannot afford to pay them back because it makes them popular. Presidents who nominate judges who ”legislate from the bench” because they don't care why there are multiple branches of the government. A President that arms cartels and ISIS. I don't think this one is more likely to throw us under the bus than the others.

This is what Russia gains you ignorant fuck.
1. Trump did NOT implement the sanctions, Sought by President Obama for the illegal annexation of Crimea, and congress approved.
2. He stopped Military aid to the Ukraine, ensuring that the Ukrainians would not have the best equipment to defend Crimea.
3. By not investigating the collusion and Russian Interference, he has allowed Russia to continue to interfere.

One has to ask oneself who is better at opposing someone like Putin, an experienced Politician who understands the Job through observation and conversation of the day to day activities, trained in Foreign Policy as secretary of state, and understands How congress and the senate work having been a member of the senate for 8 years.

Or a man with 6 bankruptcies, and a second rate tv star, who has the vocabulary of an eight year old, and the temperament of a four year old?

What really floors me, is this:

In the military we expect everyone, even general officers, to have SOME fucking decorum, and President Trump has None.

He has repeatedly insulted veterans, either by calling them failures for being captured, or stealing money from the charitable contributions raised in their name, calling people with PTSD weak, etc.
Claiming he knows more about how to be a soldier forma JUNIOR ROTC program from high school, which he went to FOR BEING A FUCK UP. And he dodged the fucking draft.

If this guy was a democrat you motherfuckers would be clamoring for his head, but because he is a republican, and they are all about spending money on military contractors, and equipment soldiers don't need, under the ideology of supporting the troops, you fuckers follow like sheep.

Within the last year, there have been increased acts of racial profiling, bigotry and violence. From his lips to everyone’s ears, he has ENCOURAGED these things. I won’t even wade into the political aspect of running this country into the toilet. I’ve been around long enough to know, once you show me who you are, I then know who you are.

Just saw the video a few days ago where Trump said that if "Patriotic soldiers were not paid, that the National debt would be paid of", then he continued to say something to the likes of "Are they really patriotic if they get paid to be Soldiers?" We are Soldiers whose main duties are to defend the Country, Constitution, our people and our way of life.. and possibly many government buildings. It is the Secret Service's job to protect and defend the President. Why all of a sudden are we having such questionable dealings and open dialogues with Putin?? I give the Russian people more credit than their leader. I take personal insult from any president that criticizes or minimizes the role of the American Service member, when they themselves never served or draft dodged by medical means. You can have all the faith you want in what you may have voted for. As Service members i believe we were created to defend the country from tyranny and dictatorships.. you know, the kind that start removing key personnel from top government positions because they don't agree with your plans and threaten your standing as the country's current leader. Maybe you haven't noticed that he wants to have parades, just like Kim Jong Un and Putin. Wants to start executing drug dealers, just like Duterte. When you hold a military parade, it should be in recognition of its military members and not a boast of power. We as Americans are better than that and should show a bit to humility when it comes to the mighty strength we hold as country.. I am very middle in my political beliefs. So i can say i am unbiased when it comes to our country's leaders. I wasn't too happy with Obamas move on rescuing Bergdahl, and then pardoning the spy whatever-the-heck-his-name-was "Manning". All that was a sh#t show. I also would never have voted for Killary, too many people suicide around her. Nuff said.. many of you from either side are too blind to see what your selected leaders are doing and forget that your country comes first.

You asked 1. Exactly what does Russia gain with a Trump Administration that affects our National Security? Foreign interference is common in elections even by the U.S. My response: Russia gained a pseudo seat at the table, since Trump has been in office all actions against Russia have been hindered or curtailed to one degree or another. They also got an advocate that is constantly trying to deflect attention away from them at every turn. Just this morning a new report about hackers linked to Russia came out from Microsoft. But since even before Putin took this Presidents virginity in Helsinki, not a peep or tweet about how the nation can go about addressing this continuous intrusion into our society.

2. Why do you believe the Trump administration would conspire with Russia? I think they know they have a person who they can manipulate and control. A person who is just self centered enough that all you have to do is say or do one thing that pisses him off and he will continue to focus all his energy toward that one thing rather than have his focus be on where the fire really is, this man has expressed more than 4,000 lies or misstatements since he has been in office. That is not to even begin to count the statements and actions he committed before he took office.

3. Do you believe Vice President Pence or Congress would go along with this idea? No I do not, but they already are complicit in this by not calling him to task on his lies, mis-statements and other actions he has committed to since becoming President. Because they are afraid of his Trump supporters who are the only people he has in his corner.

From Russia's point of view, a Clinton Whitehouse would have been far preferable. Russia was well aware of how weak she was as Sec/State. That would not have changed as POTUS.

I don't believe it would "conspire" in the traditional sense. I do believe they would dialogue.

Neither Pence nor Congress would openly support criminal conspiracy.

This is an old question by the date. But let us revisit it a year and a half later.

1. Hillary, for whatever you want to think of her is an iron bitch. She would have Issued the sanctions against Russia that congress has already approved. She would not have Surrendered our position in North Korea, nor would she have backed out of the Iran deal. The biggest thing Putin Gets from Trump being president is an ignorant idiot who has no idea about foreign trade, economics, foreign policy, and public policy. So the damage Trump is doing to the U.S. by dividing the ignorant and the smart, playing to the idea of white nationalism, and demonizing a whole segment of our population is enough for it to be a victory in and of itself. But, then we have Crimea, which Russia has illegally annexed, and the Ukraine is an American Treaty partner. My National Guard unit is a sister unit of the Ukrainian military, that is how close of a relationship WE ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE. And that is gone.

2. Trump, because he has filed for bankruptcy 6 times, is a pariah in the us banking industry, having to forfeit all of his holding in his casinos to the banks. SO he has had to borrow money form Russia, and Russian banks in order to continue to fiance his real estate ventures.

3. Congers is going along with this because he is willing to do whatever they want, they send him a tax bill that has made our deficit worse and he signed it. They have increased military spending, of which NONE of that money actual goes to you or me, and it goes directly into military contractor's pockets, etc. He has rolled back the asbestos rules and now asbestos can be used in construction again, who cares about mesothelioma right? Obama care will take care of that, oh wait no it won't because they are gutting that too. Number one producer of asbestos? Russian Federation...

REPUBLICan, for the government.

DEMOCRAcyT, for the people.

Funny how in a country that is supposed to be free the LIBERALS are the bad guys...

You know why the liberals are the bad guys? Simple the NRA has all the gun nuts convinced we want to take their guns. Has all the pro lifers afraid we are forcing women to have abortions and eating the babies, and most important has all the Christians believing we are sin loving hedonists that are pushing a gay agenda to turn the frogs gay using chem-trails (i heard that one on infowars).

All we want as liberals is for police officers to stop summarily executing black men. For kids to stop getting their hands on assault rifles and shooting up their schools because people are too ignorant of their kids actions (both the bullies and the bullied). And for everyone to have the same access to the same legal protections, be it to get married or to order a fucking cake.

Trump would never throw the USA under the bus. He's ten times the patriot Obama is/was. Think about what Obama kept trying to do by making us subordinate to the UN. Trump believes in a strong America. What benefit would Trump get from colluding with Russia? Maybe another Trump hotel in Moscow? I don't think so. Also think about how our elections are conducted. We operate on a state by state system. We don't have one big national election. This helps to prevent an easy hacking of the entire system. It'seems the Democrats that want to take power from the states and consolidate it into a central government that they control. Just check out what they did with electing Senators, electing them by popular vote and taking the vote away from state legislatures. Just check things out before believing the hype.

Trump will throw anybody under the bus with or without a reason. he pleases himself no one else matters to him what so ever. He has proved that repeatedly before even running for office. Consider this every single time Trump has said he supports someone 100% That indiv was either charged or indicted or is under investigation by either Mueller or some other law enforcement agency. Even the people who know him best in NYC consider him to be a thief, a con man and a grifter and those are the good comments. The whole administration in my view reeks of corruption except in very indiv cases. He lies repeatedly then lies about what he lied about later. I am not a psych person but I can damn sure spot a grifter when I see one. Trump would be better off running a 3 shell monte card game on the sidewalk in front of Trump tower or that NEROIAN palace he has in Florida. 330 million people in this country and the best we could find was TRUMP? I am no fan of the Democrats or Republicans and I did vote in the last election and have not missed one since I became old enough to vote AND I PAID MY DUES OVER 26 years serving in the AF for 6 and the Navy as a corpsman with Marines. This President is an absolute disgrace He wants to be a KING and rule by royal decree. He long ago forfeited any right to be a world leader. The damage he has done FAR outweighs any good he has done

Well if you followed the election, you would see that none of this is real. It all got started when the "Russian Dossier" was created by a Clinton linked think tank, it was passed off as real to the FISA court who then used it to spy on the Trump campaign. When they found no links they (mainstream media) shifted to the claim that Russian "bots" were spreading "fake news" via Social Media. So far there have been no links between the Russians and the President. One of his aides has gotten busted for failing to register as a foreign agent long before he was working for Trump. Another top aide got busted for lying to the FBI about Russian collusion, in that he initially said there was, but it turned out to be a lie...he got 14 days, so that should show you how much they are trying to discourage people from lying about the President.

If anyone can find a legitimate reason to impeach the President, by now it will be marred with all of this made up stuff. It wont have any credibility at this point.

1. Russia gains by not having to deal with an America run by a corrupt Globalist who will help punish Russia for not going along with the Progressive agenda — such as gay rights, marriage equality, taking in Muslim refugees, etc. If I were Putin, knowing what Hillary said in her emails and knowing she sacrificed her own ambassador at Benghazi to push Obama’s foreign policy that her State Department financed, I’d have no respect for her just like Obama, who took every opportunity to undermine Russia’s foreign policy... I would likewise no more trust her than her lying, unqualified, posing predecessor, Barry Soetoro with the CT SSN and forged birth certificate.

With that said, I seriously don’t think that Putin was behind any Russian government meddling in our General Election. What they are calling meddling was just Russian hacks finding controversial political topics to drive people to click links and they were getting paid for the amount of traffic they were generating for the websites.

No I don’t believe Trump is trying to throw America under the bus. You would have to be thick as a brick to not see what is going on.

There is a fight going on over who controls this country and the Progressive Democrats and Establishment RINOs (who roll with / roll over for the Democrats) think it’s them!

We The People voted in 2016 and for the last almost four years the Democrats have been trying their darnest to overturn the election. AAAAND they have WASTED $MILLIONS of OUR tax dollars on their FAILED coups. Don’t for a minute think that Obama doesn’t have his fingers in this. When he left office [after SQUATTING in the White House for 8 looong years!], he didn’t go back to his private life to write his memoirs... NO, he bought a mansion in DC, built a high wall around it, and plots his insurrection from there. Susan Rice who lied for him and failed upward to become UN Ambassador now sits on the Netflix board! It is her job to help them come up with ideas for content. They have put out Netflix original content critical of Trump and Space Force... It is NOT “The Office”. It’s stupid, but for people that are easily influenced, it’s a subliminal stab at Trump. From Day 1, I have been calling Obama out for not being constitutionally qualified and for misrepresenting his background to the American public. He is what our Founding Fathers tried to protect us from by requiring the President to be a Natural Born Citizen. Is Obama? I really can’t say because all he’s done is vet himself four years late with computer generated forged documents. Congress knows about it and won’t do anything because the Deep State has dirt on them. Obama put Muslims in charge of the CIA and DHS and infiltrated our Federal Agencies with Muslim Brotherhood operatives. He was using the State Department to bypass Congress and conduct his own foreign policy... What could possibly go wrong?!! Oops, Benghazi!

The Progressives own the lamestream media and they also dictate what shows up in the Search Engines, and they are censoring Conservatives in Social media (most notably Facebook and Twitter).

IF the Progressives’ ideas are so great and they’re so intellectually enlightened and morally superior, why do they work so hard to suppress Conservatives?

Trump rightly called out Obama’s spying and Obama laughed it off. Now we know that the CIA and FBI went rogue and were spying on Trump, his staff, FOX News anchors, etc. using a fake dossier that Clinton paid for. No conflict of interest there. Spygate anyone? Read Dan Bongino’s book. He lays it all out.

Trump rightly called out CNN and MSNBC. They ARE Fake News. I thought Sarah Huckabee Sanders was a great Press Secretary but Trump has found a honey badger in Kayleigh McEnany! She is polite but doesn’t cut any slack and puts weasel Jim Acosta in his place! He gets pummeled every time he opens his STOOPID mouth! Hasn’t learned a thing and keeps coming back for more. I can’t believe he still has a job!

How can you watch the press briefings and not see how dishonest and lame the propagandists in the media pool are?!! They’re AWFUL. Personally, I wouldn’t be able to stand looking at myself in the mirror knowing my job was to spread lies and run interference for the Democrats who are in bed with the Globalists.

The Democrats couldn’t beat Trump on the economy so they destroyed it. I believe the Coronavirus pandemic was a Plandemic! And I believe the Democrats are behind the massive unrest as well.

They have been trying everything they can, even sacrificing their elderly* to pin blame on Trump but I believe the public is wise to them now. They never let a crisis go to waste. And in the absence of real crises, they manufacture them. While we are distracted and staying home, they are installing 5G and moving forward with their plans to violate our privacy and control us.

* Mayor DeBlasio tried to blame Trump for his response and Trump masterfully put out a video showing that he tried as early as January to stop the spread and the media was saying it was no big deal. Nancy Pelosi urged people to celebrate Chinese New Year and was insinuating Trump was racist when he tried to stop flights coming in from China. They wanted it to spread. In response to DeBlasio’s requests, Trump got him what he asked for and even sent the USS Comfort there. Instead of thanking Trump and utilizing the assets, he stuck COVID patients in Nursing homes to drive the death count up. Also, hospitals had incentives to report deaths as COVID-19 when they were from other causes!!! How utterly dishonest and despicable! Putting COVID-19 positive people in Nursing Homes?!! They are the most vulnerable and he is responsible for their deaths! He tried to blame Trump!

Trump is for us. He wisely gave up his salary so that he couldn’t be accused of using his office for personal gain [like the Clintons, Biden, etc.]. We literally are seeing a battle going on for the heart and soul of this nation. We all swore an oath to protect and defend this country and our Constitution. The Democrats are working surreptitiously to destroy America. Wake up!!!

Benedict Donald is Putin's little bitch. He failed enforced Russian sanction because he was scared of Putin. He believes Russia instead of his own intelligence.

I didn't use to, but then he fracked over the Syrian Kurds, and now all bets are off.

I don't believe that the Trump Administration ever had anything to do with any conspiracy with Russia. In fact, the opposite is true. I believe that the failed Hillary Clinton Campaign contracted with a failed former British agent (Christopher Steele) and an incompetent "investigations" agency (Fusion GPS) run by a biased political operative to produce a false "dossier" invented by Russian intelligence personnel to falsely smear President Donald Trump. The FBI investigation, even though it was run by anti-Trump activists, reached the same conclusion, even after using multiple illegal investigations and FISA Court warrants. Both President Obama and his "handmaiden" President Biden hate America and want to "take us down a peg" to advance their Globalist/Socialist agenda.
