Russia, of course, and now the U.S. is in real danger of following with the assistance of Russia's kleptocrats, who export corruption to bring down governments and tie those they help take over to them.

A continuation of the Cold War between the planet's two superpowers that none of us foresaw. We thought Russia lost. Putin intends to win.

So I’m sure trumpy will understand. I’m actually surprised I haven’t heard it from him. He’s always calling people lowlife scum who don’t kowtow to him.

I remember hearing the term back in the 1970s but haven't heard it in years.
Could the two of you be too young to know the term?

I'm in Michigan. But I'm sure I heard it in movies - or maybe my ex who is now a retired police detective. Who knows

Every god damn one of 'em should be stripped of all their assets and sent to SuperMax for the rest of their lives, deprived of outside communication or the fellowship of their own monstrous co-conspirators.

... from the very short list of people who are actually willing to work for him.
However these are the best felons money can buy. Good call out, Rick Wilson!

When does Steve Bannon get his time in the Lincoln Project wringer? The current spot focuses on the convicted felons, and Bannon was never charged or convicted of anything, as far as I know. But he's certainly guilty of playing "dirty tricks" politics if nothing else. He was involved in the shady Mercer organization Cambridge Analytica and Breitbart, the ultra-rightwing publication. When Bannon and Kelly-Anne Conway joined Chump's campaign in the summer of 2016, things took a very dark turn. I believe that should deserve some comments by the Lincoln Project boys.
