Thank you Jeff. Very grateful for your insights, especially so I don’t have to listen to the future “Prison Apprentice” -you can summarize for all of us.

Thank you Jeff. Very grateful for your insights, especially so I don’t have to listen to the future “Prison Apprentice” -you can summarize for all of us.
How can any ally take the U.S. seriously? After Reagan, W., and then Drumpf, as well as Congressional insurrectionists like Gosar, Biggs, Jordan, Treasonous Tom Cotton, Josh “Hauls” Hawley, and many more -any other nation must look at us and assume that no educated, informed people would elect these sociopaths, the U.S. has gone to a random draft concept for leadership.
I can only guess Trump handed out classified documents to his Mar-a-Lago guests with his signature and a 10% off coupon to Trump Steaks. Or Trump University.
Any other person who breached critical security would be rotting in a prison (or in Russia, would have had their ability to fly from a 15th floor office window tested).
I believe it more than highly likely that multiple GOP reps sold us out before Trump & 2016. The B&E by the Russians into the DNC files is something many people are aware of. The "part2" of the GOP files? Not so much. The Republicans (and the press!) were very quiet about that. Trump has had money problems for decades. His biographies cover his "on a allowance" state of affairs with his banks in the early 90s. Of course, only "a great businessman" would go bankrupt 6x -with casinos no less, so his association with the Russian voy is no stretch of the imagination and likely a necessity since the 1980s when he took cash mortgages. Trump was only 1 of 2 real estate dev doing so in NYC then.
Earlier this year, Trump's accountant went to prison for the "2 sets of book practices" makes the speculation that Trump's main income for many years was money laudrying less a speculation than ever. That Trump Tower or the "Little Odessa" condos in FL were part of the chain of Trump Laundromats so to speak is especially more believable when DJT jr offers, my paraphrase, "we don't need banks with money from Russia in a interview ( approximately 2008-9, when credit was hard to find and more so for a serial bankrupt).
The GOP fundraising relationships with the same Russns? Check. When did that happen? In hindsight, the Citizens United SCOTUS case sure looks more like CYA for their dark money already flowing into political accounts.
These changes certainly explain the political U-turn from Reagan anti-communism to, "who our pal Putin?" and not because the USSR collapsed as governmentin 1991. The political culture and the nukes are still there, as an inconvenient history.
Parts of the relationship were well-documented in the Mueller Report, and separately, rubles flowing into the NRA. And I doubt that nefarious relationships stop with Putin.

In America he’s running for another term.
They are deemed useful idiots by anyone who seeks to harm the United States, and no doubt bought at bargain prices.
Indeed.
