I checked up on the Manifort/Putin/Trump issue ...
Trump is assembling a team of advisors who have also worked for Putin’s cronies
’ ... Donald Trump has hired an experienced political operative to help wrangle GOP delegates: Paul Manafort, a strategist with three decades of Republican conventions under his belt, who has also worked for some unsavory international clients ...’ [snip]
Well there you have it. Manifort is vindicated right off the bat. Anyone low enough to work for the GOP-e for the past thirty years has GOT to be corrupt to begin with. It’s a job qualification REQUIREMENT. Trump could find someone wet behind the ears, I suppose. But he knows better.
‘Yanukovych was the symbol of mass corruption rampant in Ukraine, with his lavish mansion that famously includes a zoo, a massive collection of luxury cars and a pure gold paperweight shaped like a loaf of bread ...’
That’s quite a resume enhancement for any GOP-e strategist to find someone able to do business with a man like this.
Trump was able to hire this guy and flip him over to his anti-establishment campaign? Great. Someone like Manafort knows ‘where the bodies are buried’.
The article goes on to insinuate that Trump is secretly in league with Putin.
Well guess what?
Putin doesn’t suck up to muslims or sexual deviants. I respect Putin ten times more than guys who want to sell out the US on immigration.
I can’t say I know very much about Manafort yet. But so far I could care less.
Cruz is cozy with the Bush dynasty and worked in his administration.
The Bush vamily looks at Minutemen as ‘vigilantees’.
What ‘trumps’ such a treasonous mindset at this critical time on the immigration issue?
Which has become the standard response from Trump supporters regardless what is shown them regarding this man...... The “image” he's presented to you is identical to the “image” he's presented that all these properties with his name on the buildings are his...they aren't... he's been farming his “Brand Name” out to anyone who “pays” to use it.
He's a fraud and has far too many people “believing” he is what he's not.
So go ahead and keep him on the pedestal you and others have created for him....you will see in time you put your ladder against the wrong wall....one that you'll never see built as he's going to get his way of escape from this election he wants before too long.....
You took me out of context, failing to add the corrupting influence of the Bush family. Cruz has closer ties to them than Trump has to Putin.
And when it comes to corruption, the DC Establishment is where the big bucks are.

Was Ike Right?

Ike was concerned about over-estimating Russia’s military, which we did due to insufficient intel. That was why he built the first spy jet and sought the ‘free skies’ deal.
Ironically, Ike was the very boogeyman people try to make us think he feared. No president of his century was more aggressive with secret operations that successfully toppled foreign governments.

That might be true. But was his concern valid - and how did what Roger Stone calls the “Bush Crime Family” fit into the context?
