A few of us believe there’s a Russian asset IN THE WHITE HOUSE right now. And the asset’s orders are to destroy America from within.. Interesting how that was Osama bin Laden’s plan as well (and it may have worked considering how things are going).

My theory is that Putin has the tapes of Trump in bed with the fourteen-year-olds, and that is why he is so submissive!

Before he died, Eisenhower said is greatest regret was not defending George C. Marshall against McCarthy’s attacks accusing Marshall of being a communist and selling out China. If McCarthy could intimidate Eisenhower, that suggests in the strongest way McCarthy’s hold on the American people.

Absolutely. The man who oversaw the D-day invasion of fortress Europe was afraid to face down a bloviating buffoon.

I don't know if you guys read alt-history or not, but an essay in, I believe, "What If 2" posits Tailgunner Joe as actually having been recruited by the KGB and spouting his nonsense at their prompts.

That said, contra one other commenter and Keith's reply, in large part because I'm a non-duopoly voter, I find most of "Russiagate" laughable. On the issue of "tapes"? Trump has long shown he is literally shameless. Therefore, he can't be blackmailed.
