I just watched a Frontline documentary on the rise of Trump and a couple of bis boyhood friends said Trump is still the same person he was when he was ten-year-old. And while those qualities might be charming in an ordinary person, in a president with such power at his disposal I find it deeply disturbing...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-66812934161879936892017-01-03T23:56:48.220-05:002017-01-03T23:56:48.220-05:00hi David...thanks for that, now I'm really wor...hi David...thanks for that, now I'm really worried.

And yes, Putin's performance did remind me a lot of Harper's ghastly warbling, complete with clapping seals. In fact I have a video of Harper performing, and when he finishes Kellie Leitch jumps out of her chair and rushes up to the stage applauding wildly. I'm saving that one for later. ;) And yes, 2017 is shaping up as quite a year. I was thinking of retiring now that Harper is gone and the Cons are destroying themselves, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to continue until Trump and his gang also go down in flames...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-54238949747274098392017-01-03T23:17:37.429-05:002017-01-03T23:17:37.429-05:00hi rumleyfips...thanks for reminding people that t...hi rumleyfips...thanks for reminding people that the Russians have been supporting right-wing groups all over Europe with the clear intention of undermining their government and sowing chaos. The Germans are already complaining that Trump trolls are trying to interfere in their upcoming election, so if the same thing happens there, it will be very hard for the Putin gang to claim it's just a coincidence...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-30926903813080084132017-01-03T23:13:05.268-05:002017-01-03T23:13:05.268-05:00Hi TS...there can be no doubt that Putin is a murd...Hi TS...there can be no doubt that Putin is a murderous thug, and his apparent bromance with Trump is bad enough, whether or not you believe that he was involved in the hacking on the DNC. Like you I also believe that Putin, the old KGB officer, has something on Trump. But while it may have helped the orange oaf win the election, it will help delegitimize his presidency, and at this point that's all that counts...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-5842007144672082782017-01-03T23:06:00.007-05:002017-01-03T23:06:00.007-05:00hi thwap...I'm sorry you're angry at me, b...hi thwap...I'm sorry you're angry at me, but I really don't understand why. I'm not a Cold War warrior, I would like to see good relations between Russia and the West. But Putin is a brutal corrupt autocrat and vicious homophobe who kills his opponents, so as bad and corrupt as the Democratic establishment might be they are better than him. And an alliance between Putin and another bestial autocrat like Trump is not a good thing and deserves to be denounced. You've known me for years, you know how I hate would be dictators, and I'm still the same Simon. So I'm afraid we're just going to have to agree to disagree...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-88773616309854244482017-01-01T17:44:20.968-05:002017-01-01T17:44:20.968-05:00Putin did make a smart move.

Two other Republicans have already spoken out on this. So if the Dems can get their act together and keep it there, with the assistance of 3 Republicans life could be very difficult for Trump.<br /><br />Trump seems himself as a smart guy because he equates the accumulation of wealth as a sign of intelligence. That isn't always true. Putin is much smarter and also better trained. he came out of the KGB and has seen more and done more than any American federal politician. McCain is his closest rival. he spent years in a Viet Con prison and survived. Now Trump may call him a looser for that, but in my opinion, it gave McCain an education you can't buy. McCain is a patriot, Trump isn't. Trump doesn't understand anything about deprivation, fear, etc.<br /><br />My guess: confirmation hearings are going to be the best entertainment on t.v. Trump is going to go bat shit crazy when he doesn't get his way. Trump's supporters, those who aren't rich are going to find out they are still poor. Not going to be pleasant for Trump. Yes, his family will enrich itself at the country's expense. Watch for a whole new chain of Trump hotels in Russia and Syria. Oh and the wife and kid, I'd be really surprised if she ever moved into the White House.e.a.f.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-44224363379681900132016-12-31T23:38:41.735-05:002016-12-31T23:38:41.735-05:00A peak into the future...

Some of these sites are saying what they have been paid to say while others use misinformation dispensed by services like Wiki Leaks and RT. Now unpaid trolls are along for the ride using Russian " facts " to praise Trump and curse Clinton. It's pretty one sided.<br /><br />It is not just the US that is being attacked by far right Russia supported groups. Farange and his Brexit boys have close ties to the Kremlin just as Trump and his cabinet do. Far right groups in France, Greece, Holland etc. receive Russian funding and attend expenses paid conferences in Russia. Just a few years ago, Russia backed left wing groups as a way of disrupting the West . Now they have decided the best way to damage the EU, UK, US, Nato etc. is to assist and finance far right wing politicians . The most interesting and frightening thing is the choice , by Putin, of Trump as the person most likely to damage the security and economy of the US. rumleyfipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03346146988416679423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-52450969162993855532016-12-31T11:19:03.347-05:002016-12-31T11:19:03.347-05:00It does appear that Putin has the goods on Trump. ...It does appear that Putin has the goods on Trump.
