  1. explain how trump picked pence? how trump picked tillerson? putin knew these guys better than trump. why would trump pick them?

    1. Hint: Trump “picked” all of them at Putin’s command.

      – Energy = Rick Perry.
      – Education = Betsy DeVos.
      – Housing = Ben Carson.
      – Treasury = Steven Mnuchin
      – Commerce = Wilbur Ross.
      – AG = William Barr.
      – etc.

      See a pattern?

      Putin’s picks were meant to destroy (faith in) the U.S. government (corruption + incompetance) from within. Trump is just the most obvious iceberg.

    1. let us not forget putin’s close pal and oligarch deripaska. moscow mitch basically handed him the keys to kentucky thru that aluminum plant.

    2. The one constant is the 1% Oligarchy in each country. They own all the corporations including the banks and media. They control who runs each country..who gets elected, which policies are passed, which war is going to cause mass migrations…because they have ALL the money to influence and buy those things. Trump’s their puppet to bring down America s Constitution. They already have a new one. Google it!

    1. @Danny Lynch No it definitely won’t be in better hands under Russia. Russia is not in better hands under Russia.

    2. ​@Sky Dome The US has done such a fantasy job in Syria :).
      But it is time for Russia to take over and show how it´s done.

    1. Lapin074, your name might be rabbit, you also act like it, well better prepare for a state funeral if you want this mummie for president…

    2. @rob2508 Say that again, Rob, but this time in flawless Russian. Throw in a little goose stepping for our further entertainment!

    3. You are simply a royal fool rob, and a pathetic one to. There is so much more that could be said about how ridiculous you and others like you are when it comes to matters of government and politics but it would never come anywhere close to getting through your thick sculls and so I won’t bother. Just know that whether you’re ready to accept it or not (your not) the day of reckoning for this administration and the grand fool at its core is coming, and that will be a sweet day indeed.(!)

    4. Dylan Macaya, i don’t get it you seem to be ‘educated’, but still fall for the bs of MSNBC and CNN….wrong school maybe?

  2. *Do the math…The worst night in America’s History was Sept. 21st 19145… It was the Friday night Fred failed to pull out of Mary Ann*

    1. You mean the Mexican gardener Julio she was banging?

      Might explain why Trump resents Mexicans so much and never got any love from Daddy Trump.

    1. @Maharajji NKB “the great majority support the president?” Really? Did you know that 51% favor impeachment and removal from office? How can you parse that into overwhelming support? You are incredibly misinformed, or you’re just a liar. Doesn’t matter to me, you’re simply wrong.

  3. Lewis Carroll might have invented his Mad Hatter character,
    but even he couldn’t have imagined MAGA-headed Trump!

    There’s your new photoshop assignment! “The MAD HATTER”

    1. wolfman02
      MAD hatter was crazy because lead was used in the manufacturing process.
      MAGA hat wearers are crazy from the lead they breathe from the bullets.

  4. Footnote for Rachel’s next book on the oil industry which illustrates her point of view: The Role of Royal Dutch Shell in Nigeria!

  5. No need to explain as of now, just observe how putin is winning in the middle east, courtesy of trump’s diplomacy by calamity.

    And if you need more, go back and scrutinize all of trump’s efforts to lift sanctions on russia.

    Or how dysfunctional and divided the US is thanks to trump and his trumpublican party.

    Its these things putin dreamed of, and his wildest dreams have manifested themselves in reality – and he has no intention to stop winning yet!

    1. Neoliberals zionist nazis like you will always rather have a nuclear against RUSSIA than to admit you were defeated by an orange clown. You only have to drop 10% of the atomic arsenal to destroy the planet. Even if Trump had conquered Moskau you will still be thinking he hasn’t done enough.
      Your country are filled with a bunch of war criminals.
      If Bernie had had the balls to stand up against Hillary Clinton, a war criminal and pedophile, the Democratic Party had won the elections against Trump. In the USA there is no democracy is a plutocracy and there is only one party, the corporate party.There is parasite inside the american society , that it is using America as a host to dry it up and go to the next host.
      By the way here is the evidence that Russia didn’t hack the elections .

    1. Nah, it’s more like this:
      Pelosi = narcotic long time sleeper
      If she wouldn’t all the time stand full brake on the impeachment process it could’ve been over long ago…
      And no, she’s not even good at playing one-dimensional chess, let alone two- or three-dimensional chess.
      I’m just surprised that no one is investigating her because her more than obvious reluctance to even make a single step forward until there is no other way but to do so should have been raising some serious suspicious thoughts by now…

    2. @Gary Campbell Farce? This entire impeachment thing is on trump…..if obama withheld aid to a country dependent on the foreign country go after rhomney in 2012 prez election…republicans would have impeached him.. 100 percent for sure there would be an investigation. and there is ZERO requirement to have a vote in the house with regards to an investigation…which is what is happening right now…they are investigating…the trial is in senate.

  6. Haha I wish we could clone her. One in the military, one for political action, one for my little sister.

    1. Mumbles is simply pathetic, wait until they investigate HER INVOLVEMENT (via ‘relative’) with the Ukraine…. (and John Kerry, etc……).

    1. @Flabby Bum Funny how you trolls want to try and babble on other’s threads instead of just creating and tending your own. No one here buying your repuke flipit BS. djt is a traitor and lying conman, the world now knows it so get over it.

    2. @Andrew Garcia Who put dumpy tRump is his place like he was a 3 year old! Way to go Madam Speaker, the only one in the room with some balls! She owned the ENTIRE room!

    3. @Starman Dx You don’t know any of that. You’re building a narrative around a photo with many different possible interpretations, the more prosaic ones being the more likely. All we do know, is that this photo contradicts Pelosi’s initial version of events, which she later altered when she was told she had been photographed.

    1. @Patchwork GirlLmao the hypocrisy is nauseating, that’s why you have 30 yr Democrats running from that party.

    2. The CIA is loving this. It has gotten so many people brainwashed to their thinking. CIA motto- Hate every nation that it can’t control. Russia, China and Iran are big ones that the CIA can’t control these days.

    1. They are feeling the knife trump is putting in their backs and hope for the end of this “meeting” so they can head for the emergency room…their lawyers.

    2. I have zero sympathy for that shamefaced lot. Esper lied to the American public and stonewalled Congressional subpoenas after promising to comply. Milley “personal friend of Trump” (according to Trump) promised in his Senate confirmation hearing to “speak truth to power”…obviously didn’t. He’s also known for being willfully blind to politics, and is paying the price for his naivete. I could go on. Those men are complicit. They are Trump’s goons just as much as Barr and Pompeo. They need to answer for the mess they put us in.

  7. Just watched a true patriot General Mattis give a speech at the Al Smith Dinner. Bonespurs is going to have a twitter meltdown when he finds out.

    1. @Crystal Giddens As a military man Mattis was reticent to criticize trump when he first resigned, but so much illegal and despicable sh** has occurred since then (Kurd betrayal probably was the straw ) that he found a venue in which to protect 🇺🇸.

    2. @tin pan alley 1619 Broadway TDS destroys the brain. it is simple, you like that he was Trump bashing. That makes your idea of a “great speech” very shallow. Besides he read the entire thing hardly looking up ever.

    1. I don’t know if you’re being sarcastic or serious, she can barely keep that joke of a show from getting yanked off.

    2. Because the American political sytem is ALL about money. Those days of black and white movies in which poor but honest folk capture the good heart of the people – become president and bring out the best in America – are but a dream long past.
