@GeorgeTakei
People are concerned that Trump is rage tweeting disinformation at 3am, but in fairness it was 10am in Moscow, and Putin had already been checking Twitter for an hour.

The good news is that the beast doesn't grasp what Vlad does with people who are no longer of use to him.

of trump administration expatriates hoping to escape the long reach of the law.

Do we have an extradition agreement with Russia? I don’t know the answer, but I do know some of these They’re gonna want a safe hideout. They’re not going to want to avoid having to face consequences for what they’ve done and what they’ve enabled.

And we’re going to HAVE TO force consequences in them for the sake of truth and justice, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, to send a message (and a warning) to the future that YOU DO NOT DO THIS SHIT, BECAUSE YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT.

First of all Pootie would have to build him a very expensive, useless hotel. Why waste money on monstrosity of a hotel when there's no travel business?

Secondly he'd have to deal with the fact the Chump thinks he's in charge, and he clearly won't ever be in charge of anything. Chump's days of being a useful idiot are over.

Thirdly Pootie knows that Chump will never, ever pay him back the money he owes, he'll just try to borrow more. Who needs it?

Then give him a show on RT, OAN, Sputnik, or Fox to sow disinformation.

Then one day give him a box of Novichokolates and be done with him.

Trump looks so much older than Biden.

Too bad the reading level never took off.

And this is an OUTSTANDING reminder!

I wonder if donald keeps two clocks in his bedroom (or wherever it is that he watches most of his TV and rage-tweets in reaction to what's on). One clock with the local time where he is (Eastern time), and the other clock set to Moscow time. So he knows when his boss will be available for a quick call...
