Trump and Russia

Americans can deny all they want, and choose to put our collective heads in whatever place we want, but the fact is that Putin has pulled off the greatest bloodless revolution in history. Here are the well-known facts:

Trump has criticized the U.S. as killers at par with Russians; its judges, security agencies and every institution, but has refused to criticize Putin. In fact, he has praised Putin at every opportunity.

Trump's men were in constant contact with Russian agents during the election.

Trump's National Security's top man, General Flynn had close contacts with Russian agents, and he received payments for speaking to a Russian group. He admitted to talking with Russian ambassador before Trump became president. After the talk, Putin announced that he would not retaliate with his own sanctions.

Our Secretary of State was given the highest National Medal of Honor by Russia.

Our president and his son have admitted in the past to having financial investment in Russia, though now they both deny it. President refuses to release his tax papers.

Russians have a dossier of our president. We don't know what information it has.

Russians are emboldened to fire missiles forbidden by the U.N. injunction. They have sent their spy-ship to our seashore. They have flown their jets close to U.S. warship to ridicule the U.S.

Russia wanted to drive a wedge between the U.S. and NATO. Trump has obliged them amply.

There is plenty more evidence out there for clear-eyed Americans to see.
