    Russia doesn’t have Trump over a barrel – or if it does, it doesn’t matter.

    The reality is worse than that: Trump betrays America to do Putin’s bidding willingly because he’s a fanboi simping for him.

      Remember when Don invited Russians to the oval office to share intelligence with them, and no US journalists were invited to cover it, only Russia?

      Then, very mysteriously US spies started getting killed. Unrelated I’m sure…

      In case anybody doubt of this coincidence, here a bunch of mainstream sources:

        I’m just saying that claiming Trump is compromised gives him credit he doesn’t deserve. Insisting on absolving him of some of the blame like that is almost tantamount to a pro-Trump position.

          I’m not absolving him of anything, but I definitely think he is compromised. It wouldn’t have been that hard for the Russians to get something on him. I also don’t think he gives a hoot, because he wants Putin to like him, so he’ll do anything to please him. Its almost like he’s got a crush on Putin.

            He is up to his neck in Russian debt.

            Putin, Xi, and MBS find this whole democracy thing hilarious. As authoritarians they just cackle and shrug at the thought of going through the extra steps that democracy requires.

            https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/saudi-arabia-executes-person-every-two-days-2024

            Why not just tell people what to do and if they don’t do it, bribe them, throw them out a window or flush them down a drain?

            It’s why they had to use the Midwest based Koch brothers (the funders of heritage foundation and project 2025) who had deep relationships with Russian oil oligarchs since Stalins era and Harlan Crow (commercial real estate) to buy the SCOTUS.

            Alito’s (Koch funded) heritage foundation ties, Thomas’s R.V., Ginni funding Jan 6, Kavanaughs mortgage, and all the private jet trips to bohemian grove. They were all part of the bigger plan to destabilize the United States, spread the cancer of corruption and tear it all down so they can build oligarch row in Teton National park Wyoming so the lazy old oligarchs can retire from the Moscow mob life.

            Kleptocracy is biological. It consumes everything in its path like a parasite.

            During Russian perestroika it ate Dostoevsky and Tchaikovsky and shit out alcoholism and hopelessness. Now anyone with skills has left and 1 in 5 has no indoor plumbing.

            Justin Kennedy (justice kennedys son and Peter Thiels friend) was the inside man at Deutsche bank that was getting all trumps toxic loans approved.

            https://youtu.be/ZlIagcttGY0?si=EkbGnoAsDVqJ3sjT

            No other bank but Deutsche bank would touch trump and his imaginary valuations.

            Why?

            Because Deutsche bank was infested with Russian oligarchs.

            In 91 the Soviet Union failed and for a bit they hid all of the money they stole from Russias grandmas under a mattress until the oligarchs started buying condos at trump towers.

            https://youtu.be/VRZagEpiB08?si=bfsXUNSNGRdZVegq

            They made stops in Ukraine, Cyprus and London but they landed in New York because that was what everyone wanted in the early 90’s.

            Real Levi’s, Pepsi, Madonna tapes that weren’t smuggled bootlegs, and Wall Street cocaine.

            They all bought new suits and cars and changed their title from “most violent street thug in moscow” to “respectable Russian oligarch” but they didn’t leave their human trafficking, narcotics or extortion behind. It was their most lucrative business model and frankly, they enjoy the violence.

            https://foreignpolicy.com/2018/12/21/how-russian-money-helped-save-trumps-business/

            Guiliani redirected NYPD resources away from their new Russian friends and onto the Italian mob. It let him claim he cleaned up New York and it let the russians launder their money through casinos and then commercial real estate when 3 of trumps casino execs started asking how he managed to bankrupt casinos and they all died in a helicopter crash https://www.nytimes.com/1989/10/11/nyregion/copter-crash-kills-3-aides-of-trump.html The attorney/client privilege is the continual work around they use to accept bribes and make payments up and down the mob pyramid. https://www.timesofisrael.com/inside-anatevka-the-curious-chabad-hamlet-in-ukraine-where-giuliani-is-mayor/ The insane property valuations coming out in trumps fraud trial are a necessity of the money laundering cycle that duetschebank was doing with the Russians. https://youtu.be/ZlIagcttGY0?si=EkbGnoAsDVqJ3sjT The reason trump cosplays as a patriot is because he is feeding on the U.S. middle class, not because he is one of us.

            The GOP fell in line to MAGA because Trump did what pathological liars do, he told them anything they wanted to hear.

            Trump with his perestroika money laundering and child raping buddy Epstein, Roger Stone with his kompromat sex clubs in DC and Nevada, and Paul Manafort with his global election rigging sat down at a table with Mike Johnson (funded by Russian owned American Ethane) and the extreme religious right and convinced them that they were the same.

            They self evidently are not, at least at a surface level, but there is enough common ground in the exploitation of children and desire for unilateral control (project 2025) that they became the worlds weirdest and most dysfunctional orgy. The religious right is naive enough to believe trump at his word so they have made him their defacto savior.

            Trump belongs to the authoritarians. The GOP now belongs to trump. But their overall goal is the same-

            Kleptocracy.

            Putin, Xi and MBS all aligned together last year to attempt the BRICS overthrow of the USD. It failed but it didn’t stop Xi’s push on Taiwan or MBS’s part in the plan.

            Stay frosty. Eyes up. It’s the only way we don’t all end up kissing the ring of a dictator.
