Trump characterized as 'a turned foreign asset'

Which has left him heartbroken, I’m sure.

Says someone who likes fox news.

I just assume this to be true. but if it’s not it must be very lonely out there.

I mean that the sources seem credible, but I require further confirmation. Even Buzz Feed says that it’s unconfirmed.

“Turned foreign asset”? Sounds like someone has been binge hate-watching Homeland in anticipation of upcoming new season.

Let’s see who this Chris Hayes dweeb is: “attended Brown University for his undergraduate education, where he received a Bachelor of Arts in philosophy” (Chris Hayes - Wikipedia)

Ahh yes, clown college. It makes sense now.

Is it the same Chris Heyes, who is featured alongside Rachel Maddow in this video talking about Hillary Clinton winning the election with 360 electoral votes in a landslide not seen since Reagan blasted Dukakis?
If so, you should not listen to ANYTHING that he says. At all. He’s the very definition of fake-news propagandist.

I doubt if the Russians see him as an actual asset, in the sense of someone consciously working for them. His ego would be more than bruised and unpredictable if he thought that’s what they thought of him. I’d guess he is, from their p.o.v., at best a “useful idiot” (as Lenin put it), who can be cast adrift and undermined as soon as he becomes a positive liability.

Well, yeah. I don’t see why I should pay for something I don’t enjoy reading.

I told you - they’re smug and self-righteous, and their politics are far to the left of my own. That doesn’t change the fact that, as investigative journalists, I respect their professionalism. You can disagree with someone and still think they’re doing a good job, right?

I too find that the most troubling aspect of this story. It it’s true then heads need to roll at the CIA. No administration would permit this situation to continue.

Wasn’t it one of our paid-to-post guests who spilled the beans on what he’s called within Russia—the Unholy Fool?

(Which makes sense only to those with the educational background to be aware of the concept of the “holy fool”–massively important in Russian literature and culture, but also fairly well-known in the West.)

An Ivy League school = “Clown College” now?

Not the entire university, just many of the departments and sub departments such as philosophy, cultural anthropology, gender studies, cultural geography. ect.

Brown is the place that set up a “safe space” complete with “cookies, coloring books, bubbles, Play-Doh, calming music, pillows, blankets and a video of frolicking puppies” to help students deal with the horror of a debate occurring on campus, a debate in which the notion that American college campuses are overrun with “rape culture” was questioned. It is where the student body president personally delivered tampons to men’s restrooms because of course “not all people who menstruate are women.”

However, the comparison of these programs is not really fair to clown colleges, who train people in a useful skill, instead of spewing miserable intersectional intellectual shallowness upon humanities departments across the nation.

A theory that could explain several things – maybe Melania’s pre-nup has an adultery clause. If Donald is proven to being fucking around, then her post-marriage payout jumps from trivial (a few million) to a major, painful percentage.

That would give Putin the leverage to make Donald jump through his hoops. That’s the kind of blackmail Trump would fear – moreso than just being revealed to have some minor sexual kinks.

And the theory helps explain Melania’s seeming misery – she’s getting all the humilition of being married to an abusive asshole (just my guess about their private interactions), but the money is still just out of reach.

Blah blah blah.

Which university did you graduate from? With proof, please.

Okay, the US Presidential election is the plot of a John le Carré novel.

Canada or Mexico? I don’t speak Spanish, but Mrs. Plant (v.3.0) does. Neither of us speaks French. Of course, it could be very interesting.

Clearly not one where they teach how to copy urls.

Trump.isn’t dumb enough to put an adultery payout in Melania’s prenup. That’s the only baseless wild eyed speculation in this thread that I can’t beleive.

Heh. But it makes a great narrative. It’s simple enough to make a good Enquirer headline. It makes the First Lady a sympathetic, almost tragic, figure. It’s specific and commonplace in a way the other other blackmail stories aren’t (yet).

Since your response begins, “Trump isn’t dumb enough…”, your objection is invalid. And many things he is too stupid to do are made possible by weird, self-destructive, pride. Unfortunately, there is a problem. Unlike Trump’s tax returns, his prenup probably does includes a “do not reveal” clause.

I don’t believe any specific speculation about Trump’s Russin involvement, but something is weird as hell when a president prefers Putin to NATO.

Yeah, I’d say he’s owned by Putin and the Russians. There can be no other reason for this kind of garbage. Remove from office ASAP.

If he equates murdering political opposition with military action, does that mean he’s ok with murdering his political opposition?

He can be president of Russia, then. Not here. Time to go.
