And during the campaign, the NRA was the only organization that backed Trump with lots of cash. Makes a lot more sense if the cash they were throwing around wasn't their own.

Starting to think that by the end Trump is going to make Mike Flynn look, by comparison, almost decent.

Flynn seems to have flipped partially to protect his douchebag, pizza-gate-pushing son. You know, like most (even evil and traitorous) parents would to protect their children.

Trump, however, may have purposely let his son and namesake take all the more legally questionable meetings. Instead of trying to minimize his son's legal jeopardy, he seems to have magnified it. He trusts Jr. to relay things to him word-for-word and he also knows that Jr. is so psychologically broken by the way Trump treated him growing up that he'd never flip on his father; he'd go to prison instead in a desperate and futile attempt to prove himself and win his father's love and affection.

No matter how much I read about Trump I still, as a father myself, have trouble imagining a parent thinking of their own child as essentially expendable.

It's so ironically lovely that it makes me all wiggly inside.

I know! "Russians fund NRA to launder campaign money to Trump" is totally believable. It's sad and disgusting that it is believable, but that's where America has arrived.

When he sits, he looks like a rumpled pile of laundry. Especially in his cheap, ill-fitting suits.

No, no - it's all easily explained. You see, the Moscow hotel where they were staying had this Groupon, back when that was a thing...

So, are traitors still put before a firing squad? Asking for Wayne LaPiere.

I saw those flags lined up (and, by the way, it's an obscene disgrace to see our flag next to that of North Korea) and thought "how come the reds in both flags are exactly the same?"

Maybe they'll get more money from Russia, funneled through the NRA, which I hear is changing its name to Naked Russian Aggression.

It was his best costume for the day. Mother wanted him to come down in a kimono. They had quite a fight.

Also too, the Russian orthodox church was a big force behind Russia’s move to legalise domestic violence. They claim a husband has the right to discipline his wife- coz the bibble says so!

Up fisted for the Schrodinger reference!

The thought of someone like Putin being religious makes me laugh but not in a humorous way.

The Putin's government uses the Russian Orthodox Church the same way religions is used in the US, to distract the populous so they don't see how the ultra wealthy are robbing them blind.
