Tornado Alley (PROG)

conix, Your beef with zab was that Trump was not a Putin puppet. To be seen as a puppet of someone there does not have to be direct controlling strings. To any objective observer Trump's behavior re Putin would clearly indicate Trump taking Putin's side. See again, excerpt start -

"“We got a lot of killers—a lot of killers. Why do you think our country is so innocent? You think our country is so innocent?… Take a look at what we’ve done too,” Trump said.

Keilar then blasted the president with a rapid-fire laundry list of pro-Putin, pro-Russia and anti-American actions and musings from the starstruck possible Russian asset occupying the White House:

* Trump congratulated Putin on winning reelection, giving his sham election legitimacy.
* He considered visiting Putin on Russian soil despite the fact that Russia attacked the U.S. election.
* He also gave Putin a PR victory on coronavirus by accepting a large delivery of medical supplies from Russia, a move that was regarded as a stunt by Moscow.
* He pleases Putin over and over again, constantly criticizing NATO. To this day, Putin wants to weaken the alliance.
* And speaking of alliances, the president asked allies to let Russia back into the G-7. The other member nations refused. He also invited Moscow to the G-7 summit again. Allies rejected him.
* But Trump doesn’t just praise Putin. The president has also praised far-right European leaders aligned with Putin.
* He likes to tell Moscow secrets about the U.S. Four months into his presidency, the president gave classified intelligence to the Russians inside the Oval Office.
* Trump directed the CIA to share more with Russia, according to two former CIA officials. Even though the U.S. received nothing in return.
* The Trump administration considered returning two diplomatic compounds in New York and Maryland to Russia after they were seized for spying.

But Keilar was not done. She continued by showing Trump’s “lovefest” with Putin went even as far back as the hiring of Paul Manafort: “Who spent a decade working for pro-Russian politicians and parties in Ukraine, breaking with U.S. policy,” the host said.

Keilar went on at some length to prove a point that is well-known by now. But during a time of constant distraction, it’s good to be reminded how far Trump will go for personal gain, at the expense of the United States. Trump has even “sided with Putin against his own intel agencies in front of the world,” the host said.

Keilar circled back to the bounties intel and also spoke about Trump’s favor to Putin just this week—the withdrawal of almost 12,000 U.S. troops from Germany .. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/u-s-withdraw-almost-12-000-troops-germany-sweeping-reorganization-n1235164 .

“This year, he ignored warnings of Russian bounties on American troops after being repeatedly told in person and in written intelligence briefings. He still has not acted or condemned those reports,” she said. “Instead, he has dismissed that story as a hoax. And he also never raised the issue with Putin himself, even though he’s had several opportunities to do so.”

Keilar added, “Finally, yesterday, he ordered U.S. troops out of Germany, which compromises Europe based defenses against Russia.”

“So has the president been soft on Russia? Oh, the answer is yes. At least 37 times, yes,” Keilar concluded. "

"And this post PROVES that there was collusion with Trump?
Not defending him. Just a little sick that media still talks as if there was collusion--when there has been no conviction."

We know from Mueller's contribution there was much collusion between Trump people and Russian
operatives. You have repeatedly been reminded of that fact. This to you May, 2022 ..

conix, It is fact there was collusion between members of Trump's team and Russians.

You and hap post much in defense of Trump while claiming not to defend him.

To the remainder of yours there

"You can assume anything. You can hate someone so much--that you PRESUME the negative are always true.
Trump has earned the enmity of the a broad swath of the public- ginned up by biased media spin. But it does not mean that everything presumed is true."

Duh. All conservative attempts to project the hater label on to us are doomed to fail. The great preponderance of evidence points to Trump, his GOP and people as you who use hate as a strategy to attract supporters. It is laughable the number of times you and other trolls here use the word "hate."

And your last, still more whitewashing by you on Trump's behalf by blaming biased media spin for boosting the enmity Trump has earned by his behavior. Media reports Trump's efforts. You say media is biased and spins it. It is Trump's work. Trump has earned the public enmity all by himself.

Yet again you defend Trump while saying you do not.
