Outliers? The vast majority of Democrates in the House and Senate pushing the Obama adminstration to increase support for Ukraine are outliers? Do you know what outlier means?

'Useful American idiot' Trump facing furious backlash for boasting about Putin closeness

 

"A perverse truth here. Helping Trump into the US presidency was Putin's supreme accomplishment as dictator. A Trump 2nd term would have wrecked NATO from within," Frum wrote Saturday. "With no one to help it, Ukraine would have been easy pickings for Putin."

Russian collusion again? 

 

Wasn't Hillary fined for her part in that or was it just the DNC?

So that’s going to be your contribution to this thread from now on? Just inane remarks and questions? Without providing any evidence or links? If only there was a word to describe people like you.

DO you have anything that proves the comment I referenced (Putin helping to get Trump elected) has nothing to do with collusion?

 

As usual, you have nothing.

Actual, since you're the one who made the claim about collusion, it should be up to you to prove it.. However, I read the article and there was no reference to collusion at all. If you can find a reference to collusion in there, let me know. Maybe it's in invisible ink?

In a way, you're right about me having nothing. Because there's nothin in the article about colllusion. My evidence is the entire article you mischaracterized. Since we're only allowed to quote 3 sentences and the title, here's my link to the evidence.

Trump sparks derision for saying he was ‘apple of Putin’s eye’ as EU diplomats ‘terrified’ of 2024 win – live

“Putin would’ve never gotten into Ukraine, but that’s just on my relationship with him. My personality over his,” Mr Trump said. “I was the apple of his eye and I would say, ‘Don’t ever do it.’ It was tough stuff there but he would have never done it.”

That is not something to brag about.

It's astonishing to me that Trump would want to be seen as "the apple of the eye" of a murderous dictator.  Well, not as astonishing as it should be.  He really admires those guys who just do what they want, and don't let silly things like "laws" restrain him.

 

And, the love of Russia and Putin that has surged on the Right is incredible to me, having grown up watching the Left who, at the time, loved Russia.

Trump confirms he will not participate in first GOP debate.

“The public knows who I am & what a successful Presidency I had,” Trump wrote on his social media site. “I WILL THEREFORE NOT BE DOING THE DEBATES!” 
 

Trump obviously still thinks he had a very successful presidency. So apparently does his MAGA cult following. The mind boggles.
