Putin's just, 'digging the hole deeper'.
Russia will never recover from this.
They are 'unwillingly all in' in Putin's
attempt to stave off his own personal death
at his own countryman's hands. Coming to a
theatre near you, in say, a year or two...

i for one hope thry hang Putin from the closest tree. What an evil psychopath but our President considers him to be his mentor. And now he has nominated another Putin sychophant to be in charge of our intelligence agencies? OK Trumpies, let's hear you defend that defend RFK Jr. to be in charge of our health agencies? Matt Gaetz to be AG? I'd have to say this President is off to a crazy start! I think he likes the controversy because he wants to view himself as transformative but he is basically incompetent and has absolutely no capacity to consider the ramifications of his stupid nomunations but now we'll see if the new Republican controlled Senate will stand up to him I have serious doubt that they have the courage to do it. I think they will lay down and let Trump gut all of our healthcare system just to prove he can.
