Wow. Well done! I knew about most of that. But seeing it all laid out together on one page, just wow.
America has the mother of all elephants in the room, and Trumpers want us to pretend it's not there and go on with our day as though nothing is wrong.
Lol. The elephant in the room is a demented old man that can’t keep the peace, and now there’s a war going on…but folks calling because Trump a traitor. If only there was proof to the allegations Dems wouldn’t still be on an almost 5 year goosechase turning up zilch.
Putin simply attacked while the weakest is in charge for the second time.
In the Bolton interview.
Trump “did NOT” take a tough stance on Russia, responded Bolton said.
John Bolton was one President Donald Trump’s National Security Advisor the 3rd one for 17 months. One of many of Trumps fired appointees.
Said Donald Trump's grasp on the geography of Russia wasn’t exactly first class, according to his former national security adviser John Bolton.
Said Trump “barely knew where Ukraine was” and once asked if Finland was part of Russia, Bolton told Newsmax host Rob Schmitt on Tuesday Feb 28.
The Trump White House did sanction Russia, he continued, but “in almost every case” the restrictions were imposed “with Trump complaining about it, saying we were being too hard.”
“It is just not accurate to say that Trump’s behavior somehow deterred the Russians,” Bolton said. “I think the evidence is that Russia didn’t feel that their military was ready.”
Bolton, who has become a vocal critic of Trump, denying that his former boss was tough on Russia, claiming that Trump complained about any sanctions on Russian oligarchs in the United States.
* Then Bolton, who said Trump “did not” do a better job with Russia than President Biden also.
Said that Trump wouldn't have stood in Putin's way if a Russian invasion of Ukraine had happened during his term.
Just another NOT IN A BOOK ESPOSE' on the TRUMP WHITE HOUSE and how President Trump was and acted with his limited knowledge on the international stage despite so much was on his policy superior to virtually everyone other President by his Base and even God sent.
Love the assumptions to you thinking you know what Putin thinks, especially when this isn’t the first time he’s attacked with Sleepy Joe in charge…and as far as attacking on our dollar, Putin is making huge money off of Sleepy Joes oil deal with him.
i your view, have all VPs been ‘in charge’, or just Biden when he was VP ?
i your view, have all VPs been ‘in charge’, or just Biden when he was VP ?
While I should’ve added under Obuma as I’ve stated before, VP is still the second highest office in the world, and Putin wasn’t scared of him then and certainly isn’t scared of him now.
No one is more extreme than Bolton. Maybe VP Cheney. Or William Kristol. And Bolton concocted the whole WMD reason to go to war. A big reason Trump fired McMaster and decided on someone like Bolton was the Iran deal. McMaster was against scrapping it and Bolton was very more for it. And how did Trump know this. Watching him on Fox News.
Everybody in the GOP in all branches in the party were against Obama's Iran deal. Again, Bolton being an advisor in the background wasn't the problem. Making him National Security advisor was the problem because he wouldn't shut up and scaring foreign leaders. Trump thought he could tamed him but he couldn't and fired him. Again, I have no problem with it

And really it could have been one because the GOP was able to hold out the voting on Garland until after the 2016 election. Besides that whoever was president would have made those picks. And there has already been chatter that the new judges did not support Trump in the election fraud cases. Lots of chatter on here angry at them.
Not if Trump didn't win in 2016. If Hillary would have won, the S.C. would have been left majority and Pelosi would have rammed down their left agenda. The S.C. didn't want to touch it and create a precedent since it's a state issue. To be good SC judges you need to avoid landmines from either side. They only take 1% of all the cases that goes to them.

He came with a private sector mentality and short leach. The last 3 Presidents were career politicians. They have a typical government mentality of not upsetting the establishment and not rock the boat. Not Trump.

Then Trump acts soft with Putin. Trump could have corrected all that by slamming Putin harder than anyone. All the nice talk and here were are today with Putin invading Ukraine. With Trump he had someone hostile with NATO, pushed for Russia to get back in the G7 and was always fighting with the EU leaders. Putin invades Ukraine then and all that goes out the window.
That's the base of the party just like the Democrats have their base. You think Biden nominated a black woman because she is the most qualified? Welcome to politics 101.
So why Mueller didn't charge 1 American person in the Trump administration of "meddling with Russia"?
The Obama/Biden administration were in bed with Russia to push the Gas Pipeline deal and the reason they refused to give Ukraine lethal weapons to not upset Putin and the gas deal for 8 years but Trump is the weak one? Thanks for the laugh.
You are not getting away with a lie with me. Trump pushed NATO to raised their defense spending and raise their game and fought them NOT to sign the Russian pipeline pact and become dependent on Russia energy which Obama, Kerry and Biden were pushing for that deal but Trump is the weak one?
Putin expands under Obama in 2014 and now under Biden in 2022 an refuses to sanction Russian oil but Trump is the weak one? Sorry, that is just B.S. and 10 pinnochios.

Ok, you have the inside process how to get hired as an advisor. What's the problem? He fired McMaster and Bolton, 2 people that pushed the messed of the Iraq war and the mess in Afghanistan. What's the problem? Rice lasted 1,464 days under W Bush and then promoted as Secretary of State and she is as bad as Bolton. The difference is Trump fired Bolton after 1 1/2 years and W Bush kept Rice for 8 years and she was bad.
