2. Girard's First Rule of Thumb for Understanding Conspiracies:

Ninety-nine percent of the time, things are exactly what they appear to be.

Trump is acting like a not-too-bright spoiled rich kid whose daddy bought him a very expensive toy but he has no idea what to do with it.

Putin is Daddy and we're the toy.

3. From where I sit I see Putin using Trump to drag down the United States ...

.... and Trump is doing just that.

It was a coup and we had treason.

4. Yup, that would be Putin's motivation for putting Trump in the White House. NT

8. You got it

and the republicans are not lifting a finger to defend America. They have submissively Assumed the Position for the draft-dodging, business cheat Comrade Casino and his massive debt-holding russian overlords. Sad. Shameful. Deplorable.

11. The attention span of this country is that of a Tsetse fly...

I swear to god, the fact that the media and the entire Facebook dependent junkie population cannot stay focused on anything longer than 30 seconds is depressing.

Trump is a con man. He has ALWAYS been a con man. He got to the point where no USA banks would touch him with a 100-ft pole. So he turned to the only source of funding he could still access - Russian mob backed "banks". They laundered their money through loans and purchases of properties from Trump. In return, Don the Con got to stay in the life he was accustomed to with the pay back to come later.

Now is later.

14. The myth that Trump is a big time successful businessman is pure bullshit.

By the mid 1990s he was failing @ all his businesses and only Russian money
propped him up in order to keep up the facade that he wealth came from his
businesses. After awhile Trump was no longer running new businesses but selling
his name and the faux idea that you too could be wealthy like if bought into the
likes of; Trump U., Trump Network, & Trump Institute.

The Russian money allowed Trump to still pretend that he was a wealthy and powerful
businessman on his fake show, The Apprentince.

BTW Trump's military prep school was no doubt a rich kid's reform school.

You are right Trump is just a con man and a cheat.

17. Did he actually follow through and pay them?

Because if he did, this is big news on multiple fronts.

18. Trump is an expert at manipulating his sopporters only

because they ignorantly comply. The MSM has no such excuse.
