Never in my life did I ever think something like this was possible in the U.S.

Or it just wasn't worthy of being dignified with a comment.

lol

I have no doubt that Russia exerted undue influence on Trumps close advisors during the campaign and in the selection of certain cabinet members. There is simply no other explanation for even considering someone like Michael Flynn for the position of National Security Advisor. And picking Tillerson for Sec of State, whos only possible qualification for that position was that he opposed Russian sanctions after they invaded Ukraine.


Trump spent most of his Presidential campaign criticizing our allies and NATO while praising Putin. His close advisors taking their orders from Moscow is the only possible explanation for these things

Wasn't the voter turnout less for Trump than Romney? High energy! The best!

The scariest thing about this subject is what liberals allow themselves to believe.
Evidently, they will believe anything that supports their NeverTrump hysteria.

"No collusion!"

tRump was just "consulting" with Vlad.

"The best people" and all that.

Really? In light of all the talk about the Russian influence on Donald Trump, the White House didn't think it was worthy of telling the American people that no, Russia had absolutely influence in the choice of his cabinet picks? Are you seriously telling us that's not worthy of comment?

Any other administration would have been shouting a denial on every network and site they could reach. That this White House refuses to even deny it tells us it must be true.

So Putin really is pulling the strings and basically running the country by proxy. Yikes.

What do you think he has on Trump?

By now even the idiots in the trump WH realize many conversations between Russian operatives and the trump campaign/transition are on tape.
