Putin Claims U.S. Intelligence Agents Funneled $400 Million To Clinton Campaign

[travestyny]

Putin is former KGB/FSB. His job for over 2 decades involved manipulation of the West and these fools are so stupid they easily fall for it. Including Trump who isn't smart at all. If it weren't for Russian money Trump would've never gotten out of bankruptcy

Man, much respect for the information you are dropping in here. Some of these dudes refuse to open their eyes, but this shlt is real enlightening!

Because Trump made them a promise to take back their America. They see traditionally oppressed groups gaining more social and economic status and they feel the pendulum has swung too far to the left when actuality it's nowhere near the middle, it's firmly to the right. They view others progress as a threat to their privilege. There is a large group of white males who feel this county is oppressing them even though every economic and social marker proves otherwise. They can't imagine an America where the scales aren't tilted heavily in their favor.

Trump made that promise to swing that pendulum even further back to the right, in their favor. But the truth is they just can't compete on an even playing field. Look at the support Trump has from these young white males who sit in the house all day playing video games and online trolling. They think feminism is the reason they can't get a woman. They've convinced themselves so much that they allowed a gay man (Milo Yiannopoulos, who doesn't even like women, tell them that feminism is the problem. And paid him very well to travel the country and tell them that.

And they're against globalism because they can't tilt the scales in their favor in a global economy. That's why Trump's message of economic isolation appealed to them. Think about it, when have Republicans ever been pro-tariffs and pro-protectionism? Shutting ourselves off from the rest of the world when it comes to trade? Not until they saw you can't tilt the scales in a global economy. Those people in China will do your job for $2/hr. That's the capitalism you claimed to love so much when you were actually benefiting from crony-capitalism and nepotism-capitalism.

Once you understand what this is really all about then you'll understand why they sit back and watch Trump defile the office of the Presidency and still support him. They can hear him on tape colluding with Putin and it won't matter. All that matters is Trump made them a promise to take back their America. Even if that means a third world America. They don't care as long as it's theirs.

You could say the same thing about Democrats, especially Hillary supporters. That b!tch lied through her teeth, and Democrat politicians have been selling the same old rhetoric to their loyal followers. Look at Democrat led cities like Detroit, Baltimore, Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco, and dozens of others for examples of how they have been feeding you lies for 50 years and you've all be eating it up and asking for seconds.

Great post! This should be pinned right on the first page of the Trump presidency thread. Seems to me that you hit the nail right on the head with this one!!!

See?!?!? They're willing to accept anything as long as Trump keeps that promise

"At a bar in central Pennsylvania, voters wondered if election meddling was really so terrible." @mattfleg discovers that Trump supporters had two reactions to Helsinki: a wince or a shrug. https://t.co/NOGOcUlqzQ

These people cannot be reasoned with. When someone calls themselves a deplorable, believe them

One could easily make the same argument by swapping Trump and whites for Obama and blacks.

Yet, Obama received 40% of the white vote against Romney, and it was the white vote that got him elected to office in 2008 and 2012. So much for your theory of lazy, angry, racist whites who sit in the house all day playing video games and trolling online.

Obama duped his own race into believing in hope and change. He ran on the race card and the Democrat establishment fear that their own identity politics have fed Trump’s rise. But they’d rather lose elections than forfeit a decade’s worth of race and gender investments.

Democrats and liberals fear Trump because they have long preached to their constituents that demographics come first. Identity politics gave them some short term victories, but when your party only panders to the uber-wealthy and the promises made to double-down on handouts to the low/no-income voters.

LBJ promised he'd have them voting Democrat for the next 200 years if they gave them social services and endless handouts at tax-payers expense. Looks like it worked like a charm.

They just asked he Press Sec. about this and she said it was brought up but the President hasn't decided yet, he'll make a statement on it. WTF????

Trump said Putin's suggestion that we send former U.S. Ambassadors to Russia to be interrogated was a "great idea". I wonder how safe Ambassador Huntsman is feeling over in Russia right now knowing the POTUS thinks it's a great idea for Russia to interrogate fmr US ambassadors.

I really hope Trump did not agree with this "great deal" with Putin in Helsinki: "Russia wants to question Christopher Steele, Michael McFaul, top politicians for aiding Bill Browder" — RT World News https://t.co/Tv1q6pBNUF

— Michael McFaul (@McFaul) July 18, 2018

TASS-- an official agency of the Russian government-- has stated that the Russian authorities are seeking to arrest several US government officials in connection with alleged Browder money laundering scheme to help Clinton campaign. Sorry, but that is a very serious accusation. https://t.co/dbx7U6mnH4

As I discuss in detail in From Cold War to Hot Peace, Putin has been harassing me for a long time. That he now wants to arrest me, however, takes it to a new level. I expect my government to defend me and my colleagues, in public and private.

— Michael McFaul (@McFaul) July 18, 2018

I am not an "associate" of Bill Browder. I am the former US ambassador to Russia. Putin is seeking to arrest a former Ambassador. Please understand how outrageous this act is, discussed no less between our two presidents https://t.co/A1pPQZr9dJ

— Michael McFaul (@McFaul) July 18, 2018

Even during the Stalin era, the Soviet government never had the audacity to try to arrest US government officials. Think about that.

[maracho]

how does he know this information (if its even true) is the more startling part.

trump went and handed over confidential documents!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Russia was investigating tax fraud against a Russian and then rightly colluded with the US to expose the fraud against the US, which is what allies are for

Unfortunately and sadly it's a lot closer to the truth than a lot of people will admit.

Pretty much. To the bold, I'd love to hear the logic from the typical Obama supporters in this or the Trump thread on how white people who voted for Obama suddenly became "racist" by voting for Trump. Or how black people who voted for Obama just because he's (kinda) black aren't actually racist. Imo, that is just as hypocritical as the women who claimed Trump is "sexist", yet voted for Hillary just to see a woman as President.
