Would someone please explain the left's notion about Trump and Russia?

Hillary needed excuses for her megadonors as to why she lost and why they will not get political favors in return for their donations.

The DOJ used DNC oppo research and turned it into a bullshit federal case. The Steele Dossier is pure bullshit. The FISA COURT was corrupt. The evidence for the indictment was NEVER corroborated.

100% FASCISM BY POS COMMUNISTS.

Amazing how donations to the CLINTON FOUNDATION DROPPED 90% WHEN SHE LOST. Does that make any of you cult fucks think twice?

You are captured in a cult. You need to wake the fuck up.

Your boy Weird Beard Durham spent three years investigating this, and he only managed to prove one guy altered a sentence on a warrant application that would have been granted anyway.

The two lame cases he was able to bring were both dismissed by juries.

Jan 27, 2019 — The Trump administration has lifted sanctions on three firms linked to Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska, an ally of President Vladimir Putin.

That's all the fuck you could come up with? Wow, you really are weak shit, bro. :laughing0301:

I won't even mention the fact that Trump destroyed the Russian oil-based economy with his domestic energy policies. Then there were those 200 dead Russian mercenaries in Syria, when Trump gave the go-ahead to wipe them out. But I don't expect you to even know about those things, seeing how you have your head so far up your ass.

On the record: The U.S. administration’s actions on Russia

List everything President Trump did throughout his whole four year term, that in any way benefited, helped, enriched, supported, or otherwise aided Russia, Putin, or the Russian government.

You can't. :laughing0301:
 
Except the people said no to Trump. Loudly. Trump lost the popular vote. You guys can't keep citing what the people wanted when Trump keeps losing the popular vote.

Oh, prior to 2016, you heard a lot about Russia. You were probably too busy watching Reality TV, though.



Except 17 Intelligence agencies concluded they did. That they did isn't really in question. The only real question was if Trump was in on the gag, or if the Russians just see him as a useful idiot.

The Mueller investigation found that a lot of people working for Trump were on the Russian Payroll. Manafort, Flynn, etc.



A couple of points. First, if the Russians HAD hacked the machines, do you think the government would ever admit they did?

I give you the case of Reality Winner. Besides needing parents who needed to be slapped for giving her a stupid name, she leaked a report about the extent of Russian interference in the 2016 to the intercept. She was given the harshest sentence ANYONE has ever been given for leaking information. Not for leaking nuclear secrets or taking home boxes of classified information, but for pointing out that the Russians were interfering in our elections.


Second point. The Russians did a lot more than take out some Facebook ads. They employed thousands of internet trolls to spread fake information. (I suspect we have more than a few of these people on USMB to this day.)




I'll freely admit that Hillary ran a pretty poor campaign. She wasn't a good pick as a candidate.

That doesn't take away from the fact that more people still voted for her and that the Russians were actively aiding Trump.
"It's not my fault I lost! He cheated! Look, all these totally trustworthy intelligence agencies said so!" DNC shouldn't have ran her. They chose to. It's not the Russian's fault that she had no appeal outside of California, Chicago, and New York.
 
She got more votes than Trump. She had plenty of appeal.
For about 250 years elections have been run the same way. I refuse to believe that after that long, literally not one Ivy League egghead at the DNC knew that it's not the raw quantity of votes that wins.
 
You make loony statements backed up by NOTHING. The "nothing" is what the OP asked you to explain
Well, the GOP controlled (at the time) US Senate reported on the repeated meetings between Trump's 2016 campaign officials and Russian intel. The same body--controlled by republicans--also detailed Russian intel hacking DNC and Clinton campaign officials. THis is old news and well documented.

It should be made clear though that NONE OF THIS prevented Secretary Clinton from running a better campaign than she did. Still though, the fact remains that Russia was a huge assist to the blob’s 2016 campaign.
 
So, the Uniparty has been failing for 12 years. How much money have they wasted?

Why aren't the West's leftists going over to fight Putin on the battlefield?

WTF is the "Uniparty"??? Another right wing conspiracy theory. Get your hand out of your pants, DonniePenisExtender.

How much money are billionaires wasting trying to win the election for the pol they've bought and paid for - Donald Trump?

5 of the last 6 Republican candidates have been wealthy or the sons of wealthy men. 3 of thee last 4 Republican Presidents, including the current candidate, crashed the US economy and had to have Democrats clean up their messes.

After two of those crashes, Joe Biden is the guy who restarted the economy and saved your nation. He's not going to be around to do it again.
 
You make loony statements backed up by NOTHING. The "nothing" is what the OP asked you to explain

I just backed it up with multiple links. The only people in the world who don't believe are Donald Trump and his marks.

I suppose you think that they've done "nothing" again this time either. You're just wilfully closing your eyes because you think it's helping your side. If the Dems were doing it you'd be shitting your pants daily, over it.
 
I never understood that. The almost universally-accepted presumption among Democrats, is that there's some kind of bond between Donald Trump and Russia. But in spite of that, here we have RT claiming that a President Trump would "drive a wedge" between Russia and China.

Of course this is the view of a Russian state-controlled international news television network funded by the Russian government. Their purpose is to disseminate propaganda, right? So why would they criticize a presidential candidate thought of by half the American electorate, to be "sympathetic" to them?

These are strange times we're living in.


Trump promises to drive wedge between Russia and China

"The US Republican presidential candidate has said he would “un-unite” the two superpowers if re-elected


Republican nominee Donald Trump has blamed US President Joe Biden for the deepening of Russia-China ties, and promised to drive a wedge between the two nuclear powers."

Trump promises to drive wedge between Russia and China
Trump looks up to Putin.

Trump is an authoritarian narcissist. Putin has everything Trump wants.

It's pretty simple. Just start there.
 
I never understood that. The almost universally-accepted presumption among Democrats, is that there's some kind of bond between Donald Trump and Russia. But in spite of that, here we have RT claiming that a President Trump would "drive a wedge" between Russia and China.

Of course this is the view of a Russian state-controlled international news television network funded by the Russian government. Their purpose is to disseminate propaganda, right? So why would they criticize a presidential candidate thought of by half the American electorate, to be "sympathetic" to them?

These are strange times we're living in.
