This stuff is bigger than any ones wish list, when a victory is had the sweetness is shared by the team. Just think about that for a moment, it lays reason for everyone to continue. Some folks here act if it was like a football game, not.

OK, he endorsed Trump. Great. Again, we had a 50/50 shot whom he might endorse.
OK, maybe he views Trump as an easier adversary. So?
Do you put stock into everything Putin believes?
Again, meaningless stuff man...meaningless stuff.

What is Russia getting away with now that Trump is president?
How has Putin hoodwinked him and how has Russia benefited?
You can just tell me the first one or two real blockbusters...no need for a litany.
Was Trump caught on a hot mic telling a Ruskie that he'll have more freedom to do their bidding some time in the near future?
I don't recall you ever getting this worked up about that Obama moment prior to his reelection. But maybe I missed it...if ever there was a clear indication of a President bending over for the Russians, that was it.

The erosion of NATO.
The erosion of relationships with key allies on the European continent.
Same in Asia.
This posted just today...
Reuters
- Erdogan, Putin to discuss Syria, Jerusalem during meeting in Turkey: sources
Don't forget just two years ago Turkey was downing Russian Sukhois.

To deny the strategic importance of Turkey is to deny reality.
2 years ago they are shooting down Russian planes. Now they are discussing security issues.
That's a pretty hefty 180.

Not long before shooting down the Soviet plane, Turkey was assisting Isis.
"A former ISIS member told Newsweek in 2014 that the so-called Islamic State saw Turkey as its ally. He explained that heavily armed ISIS fighters were allowed to freely cross the NATO member’s border, and “ISIS commanders told us to fear nothing at all because there was full cooperation with the Turks.”"

The Turks change sides almost as often as I change my socks.

After listening to the hearings yesterday one thing is painfully obvious. The swamp is deeper than anybody could imagine. And I don't see it getting completely drained ever.

I don't deny they aren't shady but we'd much rather be their friends than the Russians. Allows us to bottle up their black sea fleet.

Who would have thunk that 0bamas' greatest accomplishment was to turn the DOJ, CIA, NSA into a police state run by the DNC.

Gotta lay the groundwork before you set out to make you communist goals a reality. Then Trump came along and muddied it all up for them.
It was the last thing they ever expected.

Of course it was the master plan.
Obama is a Sal Alinsky follower.
