    Anyone have an archive link? Gonna go digging for it. Hopefully it’s fake or inaccurate, I’d prefer the people up top to just be incompetent

    Edit: seems fake to me. The source is just a Facebook post. I’m gonna be skeptical until we can get more information

      I mean, didn’t the Mueller report heavily imply he received help from Russia?

        Yeah, but here are my thoughts.

        There is so much that is actually happening right now and stuff that is still unconfirmed shouldn’t distract us. This should be pursued for sure, but until it becomes actionable, we as people not in the press, should focus on stopping what we can.

            We have tons of evidence that Trump is working with or for Russia. How does an unverified allegation change anything?

          Oh I agree, I just think it shouldn’t surprise anyone at this point. Anyone with two fucking braincells can see he is in bed with Russia and most assuredly does not have the US or our allies’ interests at heart. He’s literally sold the entire government to the highest bidder who is actively destroying the entire system without a single shot being fired.
