Putin has financed and owned Trump for at least the last three decades... ever since banks refused to lend him any more money.

The thing is... I don't think Putin gives a $#!t. He just likes owning the West while jerking around a wannabe oligarch.

It's a national disgrace how Trumpanzee fawns over Putin and even more embarrassing is how the Trumpanzees fawn over him for fawning over Putin.

Dan Coats is a pretty hard guy on the right wing of US politics. If he actually thinks this, others on the Right probably think it as well. Nearly none of them can say anything publicly on this topic, as lives would be placed at risk. If this is the case (and to the casual observer it seems true) if elected again Der Dotard will be dancing to Putin's tune, and people will die...

This election is between a joyful democrat who clearly supports Democracy and a fascist totalitarian hateful wannabe Dick-Tator who is clearly undermining Democracy.

Lives are definitely at risk. American lives.

American lives should never be at risk in an American election but thanks to the hateful willful ignorance of maga republicans here we are. The future.

The future definitely wasn't what we thought it would be.

The point about Coats being a hardcore rwinger is spot on; he would never say this if he wasn't convinced that it's true.

But hey, Putin could come out and admit it... hell, Trump could come out and admit it, and he wouldn't lose any votes from his Base.

Even Coats saying it may not sway swing voters who want to vote for him just to F with the ebil gub'mint.
