Newly unmasked evidence shows who put Trump in the White House - opinion by Thom Hartmann - Alternet via MSN
Its shocking in its detail and its implication that Vladimir Putin has basically owned Donald Trump for years, even before Trump ran for president in 2016.
Essentially, theyre arguing that Epstein was running an operation on behalf of the KGB/Putin that lured wealthy and powerful men to Epsteins New York and Palm Beach mansions and his island where they were surreptitiously filmed having sex with underage girls.
And we know that Trump and his sons, when US and European banks refused to loan him any more money after his multiple bankruptcies, started taking in enough money to ensure the survival of his little real estate empire and it was all coming from Russia.

Trump/MAGA have a malevolently sardonic penchant for slogans and names for things that do the exact opposite: truth social, Mom's for liberty, freedom caucus...
so no surprise, I guess, that "make America great again" REALLY meant: destroy us as a nation, a democracy, sabotage our traditional allies, and turn America into a world disgrace if not pariah
courtesy of kompromat Donald Trump, and others like Musk, Gabbard, Miller, et al. - and on behalf of KGB Vladdy Putin.
Khrushchev did say they'd 'bury us,' did he not?

Thats intentional.
Newt introduced us to the Contract with America, however, I recognized it as a Contract ON America. It appears Ive been right about a lot of double speak since Ive observed their behavior. I have not been conditioned to believe their lies.

(52,523 posts)Oh god, he is going to hate the word "little" in reference to his business. With Trump, everything is big, great, tremendous, and huge, except for his opponents!
Of course, his endless business failures had left him beholden to Russia for funds as reputable banks understandably would no longer loan him any more money. Though I do think there probably were incriminating video tapes, obviously it was always money that was behind Putin's control of Trump. He has been the gift that just keeps on giving.

(27,302 posts)invested in keeping that covered up. Elon Musk, Bozos, Zuckerberg, and a a number of other ultra-billionaires are invested in their success. Forget the Rothschilds and whoever else conspiracy theorists believed were running the world. The people backing Trump are real and far more dangerous.
