Well, Julie, since Trump is owned by Putin, I suppose it makes sense for America to comply with Russian standards of censorship.

Julie, I skimmed it and will go back and read again -- what a worrisome world. Someone drop me off at the side door of the cathedral : )

Sorry to bump an old thread. Stay tuned on Trump being owned by Russia. Right? Trump may indeed bring Democrats and Republicans together.

But I really wanted to say that I'm having a hard time with jokes about Trump. Somehow that's engaging insanity. Normalizing a complete disaster. Maybe Maher can pull it off, but I dunno, this is a crisis.

Not these Republicans. They may not love the Russians, but they'll work with them against a common enemy. We Democrats and progressives had better recognize that they see such an enemy in us.

Trump is indeed a trojan horse. A gift horse. He will ignore the reality of that because of his extreme narcissism. But in dark corners everywhere the true usurpers of American values, politics and culture are rubbing their hands together in glee.

Couldn't get that clickable. I'm a tech dinosaur... Anyway, the manufactured info out there is beyond belief. I do think the story above will continue to grow. Journalism has never been more important. Beyond what Andrew said in the Acc M thread (all of which is right on the money), Trump is just a stupid, stupid man, unfortunately leading a woefully misinformed country.
