Cmon Petro Nobody is the same person they were 20-30 years ago. While Trump may have been a democrat back then, nothing says he couldn't have been a down low bigot either. If Lester Maddox can transform from a racist POS to a moderate, Donald Trump can certainly transform from a moderate to a racist POS. Perhaps if he just kept his mouth shut for a day or two and let things finally settle down, we could have a real conversation about a lot of things but noooooo, Donald Trump has to always be in the spotlight. He always has to make anything and everything about himself. Donald Trump is who he is for better or worse. Certainly no saint.

The Russians have decided to use our greatest strength against tyranny - freedom of speech - to undermine our ability to remain a free society. The fools are the people who have forgotten that politics must stop at the edge of the water. Fools famously will fight on the deck of a burning ship - which is what Putin wants.
Putin wants to keep America dumb and divided and in chaos. It is why he helped the GOP and Trump win the election. He can't compete economically and he knows this, but by waking us weaker it makes him stronger.
Former spy Sergei Skripal is in critical shape after a poison assassination attempt in the UK. The Russians first traded him to Britain in a spy swap and now they're trying to assassinate him. Or have already succeeded. No honor among thieves I guess.
Another thing Trump shares with Putin is they both hate the free press. In Russia, the free press has been replaced with Putin press. If you overstep the boundary in Russia as a journalist, Putin either imprisons you or kills you. Trump envies this but can't do it in the USA, so he just attacks it as "fake news". But the idea is the same. It's the hallmark of any dictator really, attack the news organizations for printing the truth about you, and hope to replace them with state sponsored propaganda.
Now you know why Trump sucks Putin's cock every chance he gets... Fear is quite the motivator..So is mortality.
Keeping America dumb and divided has been the goal of politics long before Putin came to be. It’s exactly what the 2 party system was created for
I'm convinced they have dirt and are holding it against him. Either shady business dealings with the oligarch thieves, prostitutes, or collusion. Or all of them. It looks like the Russian assassins got Skripal's innocent daughter too. The way the hit was drawn up it was either get both of them or neither of them, and they chose to kill both of them. Pathetic. If they wanted to kill him they should have done so in Russia. Not trade him to the UK and then try to kill him. Is the UK/USA trying to assassinate the Russian spies they got back? Game's not fair.
^ There's a 'baseball cap' slogan if I ever saw one. Cman c'mon, Pravda = Russia. Yeah I know...Trump punches kittens & kicks puppies and all that but still....... the pun was awesome (if lame) .
Pravda could teach Fox News quite a few lessons from back in the day. I wonder what Baghdad Bob is doing these days....?
Baghdad Bob - that kook was awesome. . Jets should've hired him to do play-by-play with Marty Lyons. . They'd have won 4 VLTs by now : ) .
Two deaths of easily accessible targets as a message to the two currently inaccessible ones in a Thai jail? Or the second one could just have been coincidental. Or the two in the Thai jail are a plant to lead the Special Counsel astray. It's just a wilderness of mirrors out there.
I think the Skripal hit was a message to deter future spies from betraying Russia. Doesn't even matter if they trade you, unless you're under a witness protection program somewhere out in Idaho, if they want you dead they're going to kill you. This latest guy wasn't a former spy or a traitor. He was just someone who Putin found dangerous, so he had him killed. Russia will deny everything of course and try to blame someone else for the hit. It's easy for them to do so in the nerve agent attack, where only a very few limited elite could have gotten access to the chemicals, so this old school hit will be easy.
6 more years of Putler. What a sham of an election. Anyone who posed a real threat to Putler was either jailed or killed. Remember how Nemtsov was assassinated? He was killed in the busiest intersection of the Kremlin and ALL the security cameras were mysteriously turned off. They found some low level Chechens to pin it on. But the Chechens answer to Kadyrov and Kadyrov answers to who? You guessed it. No free leader should congratulate Putin on this "win".
