    A reminder that Trump is likely a Russian asset, he wanted a secret back channel with them, he was fucking around in Ukraine by blackmailing them to investigate Biden and make him look guilty, he practically kissed Putin’s ring in Helsinki when he agreed to let them investigate their own crimes and send them a US ambassador.

      Just to elaborate on Helsinki, he literally trusted Putin’s word over his own intelligence agency (about 2016 election interference from Russia)

        I don’t think it was an issue of “trust”. I think we (those of us living in this reality) all know this, but it is moreso that he was bending to his master’s will rather than let a US agency sway his actions. Especially if it is counter to his master’s wishes. I am sure he knew that information was correct, but he needed to bury it.

        To be fair, Trump trust is based on favors, and the intelligence agencies weren’t doing him any.

      Btw, it’s been over 13 hours since this news broke, and I’ve literally just come over from Faux’s home page. I scrolled through the entire thing, over 160 story-entries* and not a single word about this.

      * I’m going with “story-entries” instead of just “stories” because some stories appear multiple times. Like they have three separate entries for the exact same story on Matthew Perry’s death: is apparently the top news story of the day over at Faux, plus it’s in the Entertainment section, and some other section I don’t remember. But I’m not going through their front page looking for duplicates to not-count, so I’m just calling them “story-entries”.
