Possibility?
Why does everyone forget about the Steele Dossier and the Muller Report? How fucking dense are we collectively that we cannot see this clearly?
I'm so exhausted by all of this.
- He has a cult like grip and it's scary. Supporters seem to just believe what their version of the news says. My friend went from "Mueller exonerated him!"to "largely exonerated him" to "MUELLER WAS WORKING FOR THE DEMS".
- People often dont believe you when you tell them things they make up their own little narrative to make themselves feel better.
I hate on the Tories a lot but I'm glad they're not the Republicans.
EDIT: To be very clear: you don't gotta hand it to them.
- Oh, 100%. The America-brained fools and dupes have all too much influence, but most of the MPs, members and voters of the Tories also hate Trump. Bear in mind they elected Badenoch out of sheer stupidity rather than conviction, and when they forced the invidious choice of Badenoch v. Jenrick on themselves, they picked the less Trumpy of the two.
Welcome to the party, pal!
- Yippee-Ki-Yay!
This is such double speak. On what planet is Trump, commander of the worlds most powerful military and the dollar, an asset of Russia?
Trump is merely doing what the USA always does. Make favourable outcomes for it's corporations. Stopping the war once Ukraine was desperate and allowing Blackrock to hoover up the minerals was always the aim.
- If his actions benefit Russia is he not an asset to them? The question should be is he a Russian actor or just a useful idiot to them.
  
  An asset is something you own and have heavy influence on or control. I.e. Israel is an USAian asset, nazarbaev was a Russian asset.
  This is just two powers taking their spoils. Russia spent a lot on this war , as did the usa. Now they want récompense.
  Putin is a rational actor, not some demon. He is working with Trump because it benefits Russia in this instance.
