    1. @stephen glover obvious fat hag is obvious.
      Cut and paste makes you look like a wanker.
      But then, so does your mirror.

  1. It’s clear that these republicans have been receiving Russian money. And Russian bots on this thread are working hard to defend Putin’s asset in the Oval Office.

    1. “And Russian bots on this thread are working hard to defend Putin’s asset in the Oval Office.”
      oh yeah. workin overtime for no pay. cuz theyre russians.
      they have to. as soon as trump is gone, all the anger that was directed at trump is going to focus on putin.
      in fact… i’m already staring at putin right now. /wave. as we speak. my attention has already turned. i’m always waaayyyyy out in front of the crowd. stupid crowd. pick it up.

    2. There was no indication in the mueller report that they followed the money, but we keep getting reports of the FBI doing just that. I hope they follow through and take down every congressmen in the pay of russia.

    1. and what’s worse is there’s a Russian infestation here just like France under Napoleon, thousands of Russian agents determined to absorb America into Russia with the help of the far right.

  2. “I’m rooting for Russia in their war with Ukraine.” – tucker carlson last night.
    I guess Fox news is basically russian state media at this point.

    1. @stephen glover One more mindless sheep. … I am proud to be a progressive. I guess that makes you regressive?

  3. For decades,  Traitor Trump has laundered billions of dollars for Russian organized crime figures and other oligarchs.  Ultimately, Trump’s involvement with Russia’s criminal underworld created an opening for Putin and his agents to manipulate and control him.

    Trump has had contacts with the Russian mafia for 35 years. His properties have laundered money for them. The Russian mafia are connected to Russian intelligence. They were and still are, living and have  working in Trump’s buildings. Trump has even partnered with them. There are many ways in which he’s compromised..

    After the fall of the Soviet Union, you suddenly have trillions of dollars that have to be laundered. It opened the floodgates for the Russian mafia and for the oligarchs. A good way to launder that money is through real estate. Trump made it clear he was ready, willing and able to do that without asking any questions. Trump was $4 billion in debt after his casinos failed in Atlantic City. He came back thanks to the Russians.

    The Republicans are also implicated. The Russians didn’t just go after Trump: They went after the entire Republican Party. There is Russian money going into the Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee, the NRA, and then to Republican officials and candidates directly.

    When Trump first visited Russia in 1987, he immediately came back and took out full page ads in the New York Times, the Boston Globe and Washington Post. These ads were very anti-NATO, anti-Western alliance, and that was exactly what the Russians want, even today.

    Back in 1984, Trump had started laundering money for the Russian mafia. In ‘92, the Russian mafia had people like Vyacheslav Kirillovich Ivankov, who was one of the key figures under the mob boss Mogilevich. The FBI was looking all over for him but he was actually in Trump Tower. A lot of the Russian mobsters were going to Trump Tower to launder money as well. Trump was completely overextended in Atlantic City. He ended up $4 billion in debt. He had no future at all until the Russians came to his aid.

    Russian Oligarchs made Trump an offer that he could not refuse. Suddenly Trump started dealing with cash, and he couldn’t get bank loans except some from Deutsche Bank. He was so bankrupt that almost no Western bank could loan him a dime.

    There were ways of laundering money that Trump had. The financing of building projects that involved $400 million or $500 million to build a skyscraper. Once the building was built, they could sell the condos through the shell companies, and limited liability corporations. This was done anonymously in all cash transactions with the Russian oligarchs and other people affiliated with the Russian mafia. They owned Trump before he ever met Putin. Trump became close with the oligarchs who were in turn close to Putin.

    1. @Chatty Cathy be best…. Seriously?? Be best….!?!?! The illegal chain migrating immigrant is joking isn’t she?

    1. And how he talks over every guest. Its so disrespectful. The worst part is his face it always looks so confused, its gross. Idk how ANYONE could waste their precious time on earth watching him everyday.

    2. T R yes Tucker Carlson was rooting for Russia and then had to walk it back just like everybody else they say what do you mean and then they tried walking back. How disgusting of an American to embrace Russia. He said what he meant and then try to walk it back yeah just typical of a Trump supporter

    1. Peaches Williams Peaches, I totally agree! Now it is up to the constituents, all American voters – to strongly convey their approval for Trump’s Impeachment and Removal from Office. Vote BLUE2020 to save America. 🇺🇸

    1. Getting the excuses in early are we after the impeachment fail. Everybody inside and outside of America is favourable to President Trump and I’m a Brit and we love him, a great example to the World on how to run a country and with zero political correctness – love it !! – I hear from my American friends that basically unless you are a progressive you are a russian lol lol lol – the definition of narrowmindedness

    2. How about American private corporations and businesses selling out American workers and outsourcing jobs to Communist China through horrible democrat/ republican trade policies?

  4. I’m with the Ukrainian people vs the Russians! Who else supports the Ukraine against its never ending fight against Russia?

    1. It is better to support the Minsk Agreements, this is the only way to Peace. Ukraine should recognize the rights to national culture and language in Young Republics. It is the only way to peace. Nobody wants a big war in Europe

    1. Trump is giving Russia everything they wanted. Gave them Syria, pushed Putin’s propaganda about Ukrainian interference in the election while disparaging our own intelligence community, pulled out of the missile treaty and Iran deal. Many people are saying that Trump will get a statue to honor his contribution to make Russia great again.

    1. Charles Davis yep and Sean Hannity, Nunes, Pompeo and who knows who else……Oh, the Trumpanzee family, Kushner, Donnie Jr and Ivanka and DUMB Eric

    1. I’m 100% with team Trump, but Tucker Carlson has, on several occasions, said some incredibly messed up stuff. Stuff that is far from how most republicans view the Ukraine-Russia situation. So don’t think that this misguided jerk represents the views of the majority of republicans.

    2. Tom ,I should Jolly well hope not, but this party of republicans are not what the republicans used to believe, it’s the party of Trump and therefore has to go.
