This seems pretty significant from here in the Cheap Seats.
Many people are saying that Trump is a Kremlin agent. A traitor in treasonous collusion with Russia.
Iām not saying that. Iām not a conspiracy person. I just donāt know enough to really discuss it.
Probably not. Could be. We just donāt know.
But thereās definitely something going on. We need to look into that.
HA!
I see that you are using the Chrome Kitteh extension too!
Citing anonymous senior U.S. officials, Reuters reported that a soon-to-be-made-public report on Russian interference in the 2016 election affirms that Russian officials coordinated the leak of hacked emails to WikiLeaks at the direction of Vladimir Putin. It is unclear from the Reuters story whether the report names those officials.
It would be interesting if two of those officials were part of the 35 who got sent home.
Hours later, he wrote on Twitter that he is asking Congress to investigate ātop secret intelligenceā he claims was shared with NBC:
WND Books? I didnāt know he writes fiction. Jeez.
depends on who is handling the info.
While thereās clearly a disconnect in the modern day party, figuring out how deep is the problem is slowly becoming a top five issue.
Methinks Trump and the Republicans are going to eventually regret the tongue baths theyāve been giving Putin and Assange. If the Russians hacked the DNC, they would have been incredibly stupid not to also hack Trump and the Republicans. After all, they may have gotten their poodle in the WH, but it always helps to have a little something on hand to make sure he behaves himself.
Trump seems to have turned the meaning of āwitchhuntā upside down. Instead of the bad guys trying to paint the good guys as bad guys (see The Crucible or The Scarlet Letter), in this case the good guys are chasing the bad guys to prove they are the bad guys (see any John Wayne or Roy Rogers western).
Hopefully congress will tell #Asshole-elect to go fuck himself.
may the gods protect them
And now he is choking on his anxiety
WOW, just WOW! This is fantastic.
ā¦and in response DJT tweeted out instructions to the congressional committee heads to investigate the intelligence leaks of the report to NBCā¦
And if confronted I am sure that the anonymous intelligence officials will quite rightly retort āā¦ but HE started itā when he insulted us based on zero evidence or understanding.
Donald, get used to itā¦ we are playing by your rules now!
Yeah, but the mindless methbilly mosh pit down in the orchestra doesnāt give a fuck.
I doubt it. Putin wants controllable agents. If we know anything about Trump it is that he is too crazy to be controlled reliably. So I doubt a formal spy relationship.
This does not mean he is not controllable by the Kremlin in some other way. He may be indebted to Putin or Putin confidantes or subject to coercion by blackmail.
As you say, there is so much more we donāt know about Trumpās Russian dealings, we are left to track his statements and actions to try to connect the dots and shed light on all we donāt know.

Speaking of political witch huntsā¦
So apparently, heās more concerned with punishing the press for reporting something leaked the reflected negatively on him than he is about a foreign power hacking our elections. Who could have seen this coming?
Au contraire mon frereā¦ Trumpās megalomaniacal narcissism and acute antisocial personality disorder make him more than susceptible to manipulation and reliably predictable in response to certain stimuli. Those stimuli are easily arranged for Putin.
