This isn't shocking to anyone who paid any attention to his tenure.
It is only shocking if you slept through the past decade >

It’s only shocking if you ignore the first time he said it when he was president. He said basically the exact same thing. >

It was a speech in Helsinki. The US president publicly declared that he took the word of the leader of a hostile nation over our own intelligence agencies and Republicans acted like it was no big deal.
Trump was always Putin's lapdog. >

Which Hilary called him in their debate. >

"No puppet! You're the puppet!"

A former POTUS. Excuse me while I take up drinking again >

Once he admitted to tax evasion("That makes me smart") and people in the crowd applauded, I knew we were doomed. >

They’re still applauding him. Saying they’d do the same if they had the chance. 
Oddly when it came to Pelosi “taking advantage of legal loopholes” they didn’t feel the same way. >

It's not about respecting the rules, it's about being on the right team. Politics has shifted from being about policies to being about tribes. >

The 'truth' he posted on his Twitter knock off:

Remember in Helsinki when a 3rd rate reporter asked me, essentially, who I trusted more, President Putin of Russia, or our “Intelligence” lowlifes. My instinct at the time was that we had really bad people in the form of James Comey, McCabe (whose wife was being helped out by Crooked Hillary while Crooked was under investigation!), Brennan, Peter Strzok (whose wife is at the SEC) & his lover, Lisa Page. Now add McGonigal & other slime to the list. Who would you choose, Putin or these Misfits?

He is relitigating something from 4 years ago because he is still butt hurt about having to walk back his comments. >


James Comey, McCabe (whose wife was being helped out by Crooked Hillary while Crooked was under investigation!), Brennan, Peter Strzok (whose wife is at the SEC) & his lover, Lisa Page. 

What do FBI employees have to do with foreign intelligence? >

Literally nothing.   Discredit the US source, boost the Russian one, just like he has done every fucking waking moment since he went to Russia in 2012.  Guy's a literal traitor, it's not confusing. >

I wanted to point out the non-sequitur for "centrists" who think his arguments might have some merit. >

Odd that all these centrists keep aligning right...
Almost as if every centrist is just a conservative in reality. >

I used to be more centrist.  The lies changed that. I went left. But some centrists really are honest. >


But some centrists really are honest.

Yes, indeed. 
And just like you, they go left. >

He’s a traitor. Give him a media blackout until the DOJ charges the bastard >

Its bizarre.   Never before has it been more clearcut.
Imagine if he had made these comments in the 80s.   He would have been drug out into the street and hung.
NOTHING has changed in Russia/USA relations. >

I wouldn't put it past him.  The man has no morals whatsoever.   He killed any form of decorum in politics.  Its all gloves off and completely corrupt and openly trashy now.
It went from atleast appearing professional to the Jerry Springer show. >

Things we know:
Rudy gulliani removed the mafia from new York real estate in the 80s
He didn't give a fuck that the Russians filled the void.
Trump was big in real estate in the 80s, when russians needed to use people in real estate to launder money.
He also made a different, weirder, run for office in this time, which was clearly not going to go anywhere and seemed to be about dividing the vote.
Gulliani is now an alcoholic who does trump's bidding for no money and unknown reasons, as it just tanks him.
Honestly, if Russia isn't involved in trump, gulliani, the lot of them - it makes no fucking sense. >

And thats just ny. His bread and butter was laundering thru his xasinos here in jersey. Any night of the week you could go and see russians running the place and pushing the management around. We watched it switch from the italian mafia to russian mafia in the late 80s. But its widely known here that he was a launderer for the italian, and then russian mob thru his casinos. >

I’ve never heard this before, but I believe it. How has he not gone to jail for all the crimes he’s committed over the years...?? >

Because he's always been powerful enough that taking him on would be a huge challenge, through bribes, obfuscation, and lawyers dragging things out. He also has used US business laws to shield himself personally, and is a huge example of why corporate officers should be directly held liable in way more cases. 
He lied to get the casino license for the Taj. Said he wouldn't use junk bonds to finance them, then did that. He should have had his license pulled for that, and he didn't. The only reason banks didn't go after in the 90s, was they made a decision that him paying them something less than the loan, was more than they'd get by foreclosing on his properties. 
Also, there's suspicions he was an FBI informant in the 80s. He had a lot of ties to mob figures, and they all went to prison. But he was never even charged. >

I can’t believe we’re going to have to listen to this dumbass until he dies. >

I’m legitimately convinced the DoJ is dragging their feet because they’re hoping that happens before they have to put any effort in. >

They’re going to wait til he’s dead then they’re going to come out saying they should’ve charged him when he was alive. >

If they bag his brood and remove their generational wealth they stole over those four years, it might just be a fine outcome. >

Jared got 2B from the Saudis and it was okay for some reason. >

I think it only matters if the evidence is on a laptop. >

Evidence doesn't matter. If they're a Republican, it doesn't matter if it proves anything. And if they're a Democrat, they don't need evidence to say they're guilty. >

He's a putin sucking traitor.
Not so shocking. >

As is pretty much every conservative out there >

The entire party is bought by Russia so yeah. >

How else they are going to afford their cocaine fueled orgies? >

Hey Republicans!  Perfect opportunity to finally ditch this guy!  Oh.....you're also owned by Moscow.  That's sad. >

Like McCarthy admitted without shame today, 70% of the House have doubts re last election. “We’ve opened the House to people (tourists) again”. Fucking devil-bought, soulless, meaningless speak. >

Shocking to who?
He disrespected POWs and veterans in general dozens of times.
He's always loved his Russian bankers over any American. >

He stood in front of the CIA memorial wall after months of similar statement to ensure them they have his "full support," then immediately veered off and started ranting about fake news. This is tantamount to apologizing to someone then insulting their mother. It's hard to underestimate just how much of a nutjob this guy is. He's done so much insane shit that most people can't remember even half of it. >

More CIA agents died during his presidency than like that last 4 combined which covers decades. >

The last four presidents didn't share the names of American spies with foreign dictators. Like god damn. The democrats should have impeached him for that. I would have loved to see Republican senators and congressmen try to excuse helping Putin kill American spies. >

I wonder how many international assets have died because of this fuck >

The best one who was close to Vlad was extracted in a hurry with his close family because Donny told his boss about him. I really hope the CIA never forgets. >

Russian asset trusts Russia over America. >

As I was thinking trump is a Russian asset. >

Imho his comment about trusting Putes over FBI in Helsinki was the most shocking thing he did - until of course leading a coup attempt. But, oh well, no one cares about either. >

I care. And for anyone paying attention, he thought he was going to be the dictator of the USA.
