I was curious to see how an (deliberately?) uninformed traitor just blows off traitorous behavior because he was greedy and he knew Trump could use him.

[@hauptmannjoachimtotenkopf6081]

HERE... LEMME MAKE IT SIMPLE FOR ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE COMMENTS WHO DIDNT BOTHER PAYING ATTENTION TO THE VIDEO. For TRUMP, it's all about money & becoming more successful/famous. And for PUTIN (aka RUSSIA), it's all about sowing the seeds of distrust in the hearts of Americans & in their faith in the American system & just in America as a whole. Simple.

[@lindawade4ok639]

We've had a very corrupt and bought Supreme Court for about 30 years. The Supreme Court rubber stamping citizens united which allowed dark and corrupt money to flood our political system was the one of the final death knells for this country. There are several things that must be confronted one of which is the Takeover of our state by corrupt authoritarian governments. Everything is being eroded here in regards to actual Democratic principles. We in the states see it every day. Even if we managed to get rid of Donald Trump the same corrupt people who are occupying the Republican Party remain and they are a danger to the whole world in my opinion

Tax Abraham Lincoln Paid Income Taxes -- but He Didn't Have to! According to the leading scholar of Lincoln's personal finances, the president was paying $61 monthly. $732 per year by my calculations. The history of presidential tax returns is filled with minor curiosities, as one might expect from a basically voyeuristic enterprise. But one of the odder episodes came at the very start. Abraham Lincoln paid income taxes throughout the Civil War, but after his death, Treasury returned all his payments to his estate. The Chicago Tribune, for instance, reported that the president had been "specially exempted by the law." The paper noted, however, that President Lincoln had chosen to make voluntary payments to Treasury equal to the taxes he might otherwise have owed. According to the Tribune, these payments would total $1,220 annually. According to the leading scholar of Lincoln's personal finances, the president was paying $61 monthly. $732 pa marginally less than Donal Trumps $750 pa! Major New Revaluation ~ President Abraham Lincoln paid less tax than Donald Trump! According to the leading scholar of Lincoln's personal finances, the president was paying $61 monthly. $732 pa marginally less than Donal Trumps $750 pa! The key difference? 1). Lincoln didn’t have to. The Chicago Tribune, for instance, reported that the president had been "specially exempted by the law." The paper noted, however, that President Lincoln had chosen to make voluntary payments to Treasury. 2). 158 years of inflation. Trump is in office to cover his debts. If this was a film, spy thriller or comedy, no one would ever believe it!

28 years ago I began my career as a stockbroker. Like many professions background checks are needed. My life was analyzed through questionnaires and their own searches... financially and personally. It seems one can have a shady past marked with financial troubles, personality conflicts and proven associates of bad character and still be president. How can this be allowed is beyond me.

[@g.williams4965]

I think it is because we've lost our civic religion. For most of my life, it seemed to me, if a man stiffed his contractors, told his supporters to "beat the crap" out of hecklers, denigrated law enforcement and the courts, paid hush money to cover up affairs, made deals that look like money laundering with people who look like criminals, etc......... that person would not be considered fit for POTUS. Now, we've become so cynical that for a lot of people it doesn't matter. "They all do it," is the attitude of Trump supporters. "Hillary is worse," they say. It's the attitude of, "He may be a crook, but he's our crook." It's stupid because we deserve better and can have better, if we demand it.

[@HRTsAFyre]

Exactly! I worked in finance, didn't handle much cash, but my background checks went all the way back to my senior year in High school. Nothing was left unturned. Even my income tax records were scrutanizrd. But to become president, easy peasy! Tax evasion, phony universities, business scams, fradulent money laundering, public broadcasts of interviews where he states that he knows Putin well, nefarious business and real estate deals with Felix Sater, and the SVR and oligarchs, getting loans from Russian banks. Criminals working on his campaign, the chummy relationship of praise he had with Putin...plus the message sent to hack Hillary during a rally. the promise to lift the sanctions before he was elected. How about giving Putin classified info that vwas just shared with him by Israel. Trying to get a back channel put in to Russia. All public knowledge, yet...sure you want to run for president, sign here. Wow, how does that happen? I fordot to mention more criminals were chosen to be in his cabinet, a known white nationalist, Bannon as his advisor, oligarchs invited and present at his inagural ball, the attorney who was at the Trump Tower meeting who represents Putin was also at the party, also the spy girl Buton was there. A ton of money funneled through the event, yet the receipts don't match the donations. Yet, no one says hey wait....STOP! There ia something very wrong here. The election was hacked he didnt win. He is a criminal!

Who Cares In today’s so called democracies are infested by these criminal enterprise and their puppets in house of legislature and in businesses, USA is no exception. All those revolutions and do away with monarchies were simply gangs of individuals who profited so much from industrial revolution that they could overwhelm ruling establishment, influence the mass by propaganda machines and overthrow it and take control of the country at their disposal. Now the control can be transferred from one group to another in very sophisticated manner, under the cover of democracy or republic. The truth here is idea of self rule by the population never originated from the masses. It was approval out of crisis of survival for average individuals and families.

@Highway Horsepower you do know the Keystone pipeline is just a delivery mechanism, not a source of oil. And only one phase of it was canceled. Phase 1-3 is up and running. We have more ways of delivering oil than we need. If you knew anything about the Keystone Pipeline you would know it wouldn't affect the price of oil at all. It wasn't even due to be completed for a few years. What Republicans fail to understand is that gas prices are affected by world markets, not the US President. Is it Biden's fault that in the last eight months of President Trump’s tenure U.S. oil production fell? The primary reason for rising gas prices over the past year is the coronavirus pandemic and its disruptions to global supply and demand. In the early months of 2020, when the virus took hold, demand for oil dried up and prices plummeted. In response, producers in the United States and around the world began decreasing output. As pandemic restrictions loosened worldwide and economies recovered, demand outpaced supply.

72 Million true believers, duped and deceived. Naive and played like a grand piano.

If anyone has read biographies and other books about Trump, followed his mob and Russian connections and then wondered why Trump is so cozy with Russians and loves Putin so much....the circumstantial evidence is overwhelming that Trump betrayed his country for money (TONS!) from Russian banks, oil companies (in Russia and other countries, former Republics of Russia), to do Russia and Putin favors such as lifting sanctions (which recently the Republican Senate Approved for one key Oligarch). In addition, Putin has blackmailed Trump which again is obvious to anyone who has followed this story. At the Helsinki meeting with Putin, Trump had a secret meeting over two hours in which no Americans were allowed in except Trump's interpreter from whom he took her notes. After that meeting, you can watch a video of Putin and Trump exiting that meeting. Watch it very closely. You will see Putin beaming, a huge smile, absolute total confidence that he has Trump where he wants him and then, look at Trump very closely. He looks shattered and shaken. Putin then glances back, smiling and smirking again. Trump then goes to the microphone and denies once again that Russia had anything to do with waging war against Hillary and engaging in interference in the 2016 election. Trump chooses to say this in contradiction to all our intelligence agencies which have massive evidence to support the fact that Russia did. Ask yourself this question: why? Why is trump denying this reality? You see, Putin has threatened Trump and members of his family and others in the Trump administration with a ton of dirt including videos of Trump and others with Russian or Eastern prostitutes....this is a common KGB, now FSB, tactic down to control and often destroy opponents. The story is very detailed and I have not enough room to say more here but you can find a lot of this evidence by those who have written about Trump, given interviews, etc. This is worse than Watergate or Iran-Contra. This is treason committed by Trump, his family and others. Let's wait and see what happens. The problem is that, like the Iran --Contra investigation.....the powers that be will want to keep the true story hidden from the public for fear of discrediting our whole political system and how the Rich, Powerful, Banksters especially dictate policy and such.
