And that’s why we hate Amerikkkans .
This guy is not alone. 80 million voters (not counting those who do not vote), millions who continue to applaud him and his stupidity , 217 representatives, 53 senators, 6 justices, judges, billionaires, CEOs, media which continue to play the both sides ( the nazis and the others )
It will neither be forgotten nor forgiven .
@Paul_stilgar @anneapplebaum exactly!

In 1987 Trump visited Moscow. Since then, "He has changed his mind about abortion and crypto, he has supported different political parties... but his dislike of America’s democratic allies and his preference for Russia have remained remarkably consistent."

@anneapplebaum What kompromat do the russians have I wonder.
Well... the 'pee tapes' were never disproven.
To be honest, Trump would be incredibly easily caught in kompromat back in the 80s and 90s and probably the 2010s. It would be hard to imagine anyone more likely to get led into girls and money.

Putin is desperate, he might have gone tough on Trump. Just my guess, of course.

Russia can never replace Europe and Canada as allies, still he is going full speed deconstructing the architecture that US power has built and relied on since WWII.
Is he consciously doing this to the US or is it pure self interest? Americans must start thinking what happens post DJT.

@gsymon @dannyreving @anneapplebaum It’s definitely the pee tapes. 1987 in Moscow? The KGB was at peak power at that time. They got him on the best video stock that money could buy.

Trump was never interested in Republicans but they offered him an easy way to get power. And from there he knew how to play the game. He used the Techies to connect the dots and offered them freedom to do whatever they want. A win / win situation - all others will lose! -

He should have never been on the ballot in ‘24 after 1/6. They killed MLK but just let Trump and his family bleed us dry.

@anneapplebaum What kompromat do the russians have I wonder.
Honestly I don't know that they'd need it. Trump admires fascist strongman types, he's always been obsessed with status among the Epstein class and hates that he's historically been looked down on by the wealthy and famous as kind of this crude bore that is only bedgrudingly allowed access because of his wealth (or perception of wealth previously).
So what blackmail there is probably was given willingly, that's how it works. It's more of a pact amongst these types.

Amongst liars and sociopaths the only means of verifying trust between themselves is through mutual blackmail. That way they know they're in it together, rather than merely pulling a con like they do on the "normies", they can have confidence in the material reality of the dirt they each have.

" #Canada is a far more reliable
energy partner for the U.S. than #Russia, and yet #Trump has
not sought to improve relations with the Canadian government." #anneapplebaum Yet, he keeps saying the #MAGA chant, #Democrats Destroying America

Everything thing you think you have is barely even circumstantial. I’ve been to Moscow and changed my mind about Russia - am I also an agent ? Because none of the cheques have arrived yet .
Trump is 100% a selfish corrupt bastard, born and bred in the USA, raised on filthy money, like so many others. A bastard child of capitalist degeneracy.
Russia like him because of this.
