"Billy, when I say that ethics is our number one priority and safety is also our number one priority, you should take that to mean exactly what I said. Also quality. That's our number one priority as well. Don't look at me that way, you're in the corporate world now and this is how it works."

While I'm here...can anyone give me a reason that Trump is so pro-Russian that is not that "the Steel dossier is in substance true"?  Referencing his statements the other day...he was willing to disparage American conduct, on FOX News, as a Republican President, rather than admit that Putin might be a scumbag.

I can't think of any non-blackmail reason as to why Trump would be so consistently and overtly deferential to one particular world leader.

I think it's blackmail. However, another explanation is simply that he gets a lot of money from Russia and wants to keep it that way.

Other non-blackmail reason: He honestly likes Putin's governing style, and feels it matches his preferred leadership style.

I blame Occam.

It sure seems to work for Putin.

LMNO, I get what you're saying, but this is a man who rarely has a good thing to say about anyone, and whose own ego probably has a Secret Service protection detail.

Yet, when Putin comes up, he's as servile and craven as a whipped dog.  Putin's style isn't that unique..Erdogan, Duterte, Orban and others also use it.  And while he's friendly enough with those leaders, in the way you would expect due to his preference for their leadership style, he's not quite as asslicky as he is with Putin.

Eavenson brought up to Trump an unnamed senator who was discussing introducing legislation that would require a conviction before law enforcement could seize forfeiture money, joking that "the cartel would build a monument" to the senator in Mexico for passing said legislation.

"Who is the state senator? Do you want to give his name? We'll destroy his career," Trump replied, according to Politico.

Leach, who has pushed for civil asset forfeiture reform in Pennsylvania, invited Trump to come after him as well.

"Hey! I oppose civil asset forfeiture too," Leach wrote on Facebook and Twitter. "Why don't you come after me you fascist, loofa-faced s***-gibbon!!"

What about bribery and/or collusion?

Sometimes it feels like its easier to assume Trump is being blackmailed because the alternative is so unpalatable. If Trump-kun is being blackmailed, there's an assumption that Trump is being such a shill  against his will.

If trump is as dumb as he makes out then he's being manipulated by smart and powerful people, just like all his predecessors before him, right back to the guy that was rifle-voted out of office for refusing to be manipulated. If he's not then he's a fucking genius actor doing the best full retard since Sean Penn and he's probably about to receive the rifle-vote or something equally media-compelling.

The only thing that's crystal clear to me is the US overwhelmingly voted a guy who can't talk coherently, because of mental impediment rather than speech, to be in charge of the country. Any sensible person in Putin's position right now (which Putin very is), would pretty much just asset-strip the entire landmass and sell the valuable stuff to the Chinese and anyone else who figured out years ago that this US petrodollar thing was on a shaky as fuck nail.

The CinC of the largest stockpile of all the fucking things on earth is slappy the clown and the narrative is that any decision this motherfucker makes is gospel. Personally I never bought that narrative. Struck me as the kind of story smart people would tell dumbfucks so they'd shut the fuck up and do what they were told but, just for sake of argument, let's say it's true. Holy shit, we better secure our borders against US refugees. It's going to look like the set of Mad Max there in a couple of years time. Personally, if I was a murrican and I could spell my own name, I'd be getting the fuck out while my passport still worked. :lulz:

QuoteTrump denounced arms-reduction treaty in Putin call: report
Asked by Putin about the possibility of extending the treaty capping U.S. and Russian deployment of nuclear warheads— known as New START — Trump reportedly paused to ask his aides what the treaty was, two U.S. officials and one former U.S. official briefed on the call told Reuters.

He then told Putin it was one of a number of bad deals negotiated by former President Obama and that it favored Russia, before launching into conversation about his own popularity, according to the sources.
