There have been plenty of oligarchs in recent American history-- the only difference is that Garik Kimovich Weinstein supported the agendas of most of them.

Russia has no idea.

There was a steep drop in the number of Americans who voted this year.

Should trump make prices double they will want his head on a pike.

#3 it won't matter what they want.

The second Trump admin will flout the law openly because there won't be anyone to do anything about it.

Russia, Russia, Russia still lives in Liberal's heads. Liberal media just loves to come up with with this crap because their base believes anything.
Russia/Ukraine conflict will end because of Trump and the left left will claim the only reason it happened was Putin wanted to make Trump look good.

Can't they just call Joe Biden and get a pardon anyway?

Trump will have given more pardons than any President ever if he pardons himself and hundreds of J6 convicts.

Of course, that will be fine with his Cult.

#5 that's okay Fishpaw. Nothing lives in your head,
other than the same old Faux News drumbeat (as evidenced
by the inane comments you so often post).

This is false, things can be tied up in courts for years.

Let's make fishpaw vanish from this thread. Ready?

Why did Trump choose Russian asset Paul Manafort as his campaign manager, out of everyone in the world he could've chosen? And how come the first thing he did was to rewrite the GOP platform to say Putin can keep Crimea?

FTA:
"Kasparov said he's waiting to see if Musk will act outside of ethics rules which would require him to step down as CEO of his companies to operate DOGE."

There would be no such requirement of Musk, as DOGE would not be considered an official government agency.

You mean all of those courts where Trump has appointed the federal judges?

We know how to take care of it, and we will.

Trump has 2 years (maybe less) in which to cement power so that he doesn't have to face another election. Because republicans have such a small majority in the HOR, a few resignations, deaths, etc could tilt the balance in favor of democrats. If dems are in control, a lawless and unpopular presidency will surely result in another impeachment and, depending on the extent of lawlessness and unpopularity, enough senators may be persuaded to vote his butt out.

A lot of ifs but strange things have been known to happen.

So if that made Trump a Russian agent than Obama was even worse, negotiating in private with then Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.
