Interesting article on the Putin question, from someone who knows something about old Vlad (she's a Russian journalist who moved to America in 2013).

I've read a lot of her articles on that site. She's very anti-Putin (as you can imagine a Jewish-Russian lesbian journalist would be), and very anti-Trump . I doubt she wrote any of that to help either of them. I think she's saying there are more important things to focus on:

More likely, the Russia allegations will not bring down Trump. He may sacrifice more of his people, as he sacrificed Flynn, as further leaks discredit them. Various investigations may drag on for months, drowning out other, far more urgent issues. In the end, Congressional Republicans will likely conclude that their constituents don’t care enough about Trump’s Russian ties to warrant trying to impeach the Republican president. Meanwhile, while Russia continues to dominate the front pages, Trump will continue waging war on immigrants, cutting funding for everything that’s not the military, assembling his cabinet of deplorables—with six Democrats voting to confirm Ben Carson for Housing, for example, and ten to confirm Rick Perry for Energy. According to the Trump plan, each of these seems intent on destroying the agency he or she is chosen to run—to carry out what Steve Bannon calls the “deconstruction of the administrative state.” As for Sessions, in his first speech as attorney general he promised to cut back civil rights enforcement and he has already abandoned a Justice Department case against a discriminatory Texas voter ID law. But it was his Russia lie that grabbed the big headlines.

inadvertant disinformation....im sure her heart is in the right place but i dont agree with her priorities.

So you're saying Trump is still a little rough around the edges...he's got plenty of time to grow into the role...

Good one, Doc! Allow me to link one more article from my favorite book review rag:

Behind the controversies about crowd size and alternative facts and illegal voters and Muslim bans, all the shock and alarm and political fatigue can be reduced to a dawning horrified recognition that President Trump is indeed…Donald Trump. His uttering a thirty-five-word oath of office did not magically make him into someone else; he is determined to change the office much more than the office could ever change him. How could anyone have doubted that President Trump would be Donald Trump plus great power and not Donald Trump plus great restraint? And that he would be determined to use that newfound power to begin to do pretty much what he told his base he was going to do?

As I stated previously, all I want are results. I really don't care for the bravado, and feel free to weed out any participants that are or become corrupt.

We have lived through scandals in many administrations. I really believe the Russian narrative is overblown. If evidence comes forward, then we deal with it. Wikileaks is a real wild card in all of this. Is anyone's guess what the tide will bring in...

clinton was overblown....,...this scandle is fact or fiction...if fact we are talking about treason.

We are also talking about going to Mars, and flying cars...

who is talking about flying cars.

I remember when flying cars were to be a reality by the year 2000...

clinton was overblown!

that cracked me up

Seemingly, a Russian, Jewish, lesbian journalist (is that the right order?) has a better grasp of what's going on than all of CNN, MSNBC, Fox, or any of the rest of the get-it-out-first, it-doesn't-matter-if-it's-true rumor-mongers that have media credentials in the US have.

The Russian "connection" is a faux scandal, possibly allowed to bloom in order to distract the liberals from the dismantling of the nanny state. While they're off chasing crumbled pieces of Russian rye, their precious social engineering construct is being eviscerated. "Give me your tired, your poor" will be replaced by "Get to work, and earn a living".
