    Putin gave Orban, to give to Trump, a complimentary copy of the golden showers video. Orban showed it to Xi on the way.

    Xi: Whiz!

    Trump claims he can end the war. Rather than doing it now and showing us, he wants to wait. The only reason he has to wait is to give something up in return. Hmm…

    Trump has said that the American journalist imprisoned in Russia will be released after he's elected and before he takes office. Boy, the power he has over Putin! Wonder why he doesn't tell Putin to call off the dogs in Ukraine. I guess because Trump has said Putin was a "genius" to invade. Dictators (and wannabes) have such a mutual admiration society.

    Logan Act ? Pbbtttt. Laws and rules are for other people.

    Come on, DOJ, where is the fifth indictment?

    Maybe they're holding it as an October Surprise. (Big mistake. It would just get Trump more votes.)

    Did you not get the memo? He has immunity, official acts, or something to that effect. Besides, if he wins in November that indictment wouldn't be worth the paper it's printed on.

    More than sickening. What has happened to my country that I served for 5 years fighting communism (1962-67)?

    To be fair, there isn’t evidence that they negotiated anything.
    But even if they didn’t, it’s bizarre who Trump seems to want to spend time with. Maybe the world’s democratic leaders just want zero part of him and this is the best he can do.

    He admires peeps like that. He sees them as strong leaders and aspires to be just like them. Strong, all powerful, beyond reproach and to hell with democratic ( lower case d) norms and principles. As other have stated, our republic won't be taken down by an invading army, we will vote it out of existence. Not a bang, but a whimper. YAY TEAM.

    Exactly. When the voters put out a contract on their own democracy, you know that it's dead.

    Orban sure looks like messenger boy in this relationship.
    “Wait until after the election when i can more deeply show my devotion. Not giving it away for free though. The documents are still the same price”.


    Maybe.

    You are forgetting that the Logan Act is… not Constitutional under a paid for SCOTUS. :eek:

    Are they mutually exclusive?

    I understand the background for the question as so many Left leaning folks would not dare breathe the same air as a Trump supporter; but, at some point in order to understand you have to be willing to engage.
