I would not call them “pro-Russia” policies…just less confrontational and more towards reconciliation than that of Obama and Hillary (which, btw, did nothing to stop the taking of the Crimea).
I consider reconciliation and negotiation to be positive steps, and the Russians haven’t released any emails of my “enemies” (if I have any)
Unless two parties have exacdtly the same outlook, one is going to be seen as more favorable than the other…that is inevitable.
Sorry…still no Manchurian candidate.
No, Sessions and Huber have been working together for a long time.

There also doesn’t need to be a Manchurian candidate angle either.

You were just telling me how a few votes could have changed the election, which is a necessary part of the conspiracy theory that the Russian/campaign collusion. Now you tell me that I am delusional if I think that the conspiracy theory you are defending is wide spread.
I don’t think I’m delusional but I am a bit confused here.
Are you not aware of how the Electoral College works?

I suppose because he believes that we should try to have good relations with the second greatest nuclear power on earth. Sort of a “lets not blow up the world” sort of thing.
What, we shouldn’t give peace a chance?

That’s possible. But unfitting with his abrasive attitude toward other countries. He confronts allies, but is cozy with russia?
Well, sure, your explanation is possible. But so to is, he colluded with russia who promised him email leaks that would help him win in return for favorable treatment.

Not so cozy with Russia as some may think.
" If you strip away his ostensibly chummy personal relationship with Putin, Trump’s Russia policy has been drastically more assertive than that of his predecessor. In 14 months, here is what his administration has done:"
“Trump’s policy toward the Kremlin should be evaluated on its merits. If you extract partisan politics and strip away justifiable distaste for his general conduct, what remains is arguably the most effective Russia policy since the end of the Cold War.”

Foreign Policy

The U.S. stance on Russia may have reached a post-Cold War high point.
“Trump’s policy toward the Kremlin should be evaluated on its merits. If you extract partisan politics and strip away justifiable distaste for his general conduct, what remains is arguably the most effective Russia policy since the end of the Cold War.”
An opinion piece written by a conservative author who served as a GOP advisor to campaigns. Shocking.

Even non leftists are allowed opinions. And were any of the facts he stated incorrect, or is it that we just shouldn’t listen because he isn’t an MSNBC type?

@Smyrna -I won’t let this drop and will continue it. I’m writing down the specifics in his video and I’ll bring it to those skeptics, like you…who refuse to at least listen to this.
fair enough.
In the meantime, Donald Trump’s Campaign Chairman Paul Manafort sits in jail.
Michael Cohen has pleaded guilty and is a cooperating witness.
George Nadler is a cooperating witness.
Rick Gates has pleaded guilty and is a cooperating witness.
I don’t need to say “drip drip drip” or “connect the dots” “trust the plan” “believe”. I don’t need to rely on a right wing or left wing meme internet personality to explain their own for-profit theory.
I just gave you four names that I can produce court entered evidence of crimes that directly connect to the president. Just like that. No theorizing necessary. Just facts. Just reality. No imagination required.
You never got back to me.

It’s great when the q-anon types out themselves like this
More q-anon nonsense.
I’m worried you two think you’re speaking in code when you’re actually blaring klaxons under a neon sign screaming Q ANON HERE
Hey, trumpists, the ones that claim they aren’t crazy… How come I’m always the one that has to highlight ^ this ^ nonsense going on among your ranks instead of one of yall putting it in check?
