Well, it's only natural for Besties, friends, allies, and BFF's to assist one another in times of need.

That's especially so when they share common intimate deeds of darkness!

I wonder if anyone knows what their means of communications is? Maybe it's entries in the "personals" column in the Times, using code words?

and in the end it is all about money hence the Russians needing a seaport in Syria...Putin is playing him...one minute he loves him and the next he is launching missiles into Russia's proxy war.

We have a scatterbrain for a President!

You have a very good point there and I hope you're right. What concerns me is that Trump is somehow compromised and is putting Russia's interest ahead of our nations. The fact that he slow walked the bipartisan sanctions that he signed into law and refused to enforce is a red flag. The constant lies, another red flag. The fact that he was working on Trump Tower in Moscow during the campaign and not disclosing it is another red flag. The many people in the Trump orbit that have had interactions with Russian's that were lied about, another red flag. The American people not knowing exactly who Trump owes money to, another red flag. So we have these many unanswered questions about Trump and his relationship with Russia. I find it logical to think that maybe Trump is more about saving his empire vs what's best for America (?)

Well, there's Kushner and the Russian embassy link.

Do ya suppose Mueller is checking that out?

Didn't Trump just say that nobody has been tougher on Russia him he? And then he personally calls Russia to tell them he won't be imposing any additional sanctions and that the US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley was confused?


Jesus, Donald. At least try to be a little more discreet about it.
