Apparently Putin made an offer to Trump to hold a referendum in Crimea on its future (leaked by Russians who attended a meeting at the Foreign Ministry):
As usual, any time Trump meets with Russians, we only get information about it from the Russians. Everyone knows that. Why does his administration keep letting them troll us? You know that information did not get out without Putin’s permission.
And speaking of trolling:
They even changed the profile picture on their Twitter account to a picture of Butina.
It is my understanding that The Donald is teetotal and has been for a long time, in part because of his brother Fred Jr’s problems with alcoholism. His mental issues are not drink-related.
The point is not how stupid he is, but how his obedient sheep will follow him anywhere. Check out this poll. Republicans approve of his Helsinki fiasco by a 79-18 margin. This is why the Republicans in Congress are essentially saying “thank you sir, may I have another?”- they know that they dare not cross Donald on anything he does, even treason, lest they get primaried by someone who will toe the line more obediently. The good news- Democrats disapprove by a margin of 91-7, independents by 62-33.
And I can’t help but think less and less people self-identify as Republicans for these polls. I can think of a handful of people in my own life who have stopped calling themselves Republicans in the past year or so, and there have been more than a few big name Republicans publicly leaving the party. So what you’re left with more and more are the true MAGAheads. More and more it’s the front remaining in the self-identified Republican camp for these polls, which, to me, makes it surprising that 18% actually disapprove.
There are some Democrats - mostly new age types that have downed too much ayahuasca-that are all in with the Alex Jones conspiracy theory bullshit. They bought into it post 9/11 with the Truther stuff when the secret enemies were Republicans. They were so deeply corrupted by this stuff that they let themselves be dragged into believing the Clinton and Deep State conspiracies.
