Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I'm sorry, I have trouble believing anyone would hire that retard for any kind of intelligence work.
What if he spent years desperately calling Putin and finally Putin picked up. Trump literally begging to be included.
You hire all kinds of retards for that work because anyone with enough sense isn't going to be retarded enough to do your dirty work...
It's like, why hire a professional hitman when you can give a crackhead fifty bucks and a burner gun?
I mean he's probably pretty easy to manipulate if you are powerful and can make him feel important
Yeah, but he likes to tell everyone...well, everything.
True. But I'm sure someone good at manipulation could get him to do shit without him being fully aware of who he's working for
It is the simplest explanation for speed running Putin's wish list / collapsing the USA: Abandon Ukraine and Taiwan, alienate Canada, Mexico, and the EU, tank the financial markets, genocide Palestine, perma-fuck the climate, delete the CIA, make air travel unsafe, end all investigations of foreign influence, all but delete healthcare for the masses and taxes for the oligarchs, and roll back equal rights 50 years. Busy first month. Next up is fucking over the G7 and NATO (Not leaving because he needs the veto power) and won't be long before he starts mentioning dropping the Russian sanctions
Russia literally has a full time, round the clock, years long military operation to support Trump online. Complete with memes, slogans, videos, comments, conspiracy theories, misinformation the whole nine yards.
Anyone trying to explain it all away with "because he's tough" or whatever is like listening to a toddler argue that the cat is the one who shit in his diaper, would take some pretty wild mental gymnastics to believe when the evidence is right before your eyes
While I admit this is technically a conspiracy theory, I think it's a lot more likely than most people are even able to understand... They can understand the concept of "State level spy shit," but this is somehow outside the realm of possibility? Really?
Edit for bonus food for thought: Russia and China have an economic system outside of the Dollar that they would -love- to be the world standard. Money influences behavior better than anything else.
It's treason.
Always was 🌎👨🚀🔫👩🚀
It was made obvious right from the beginning when his first change to the Republican Party platform, before he had even accepted the nomination the first time, was to the language in support of Ukraine.
Why? How does it make any sense?
I'm really not surprised
