    Why do I have a feeling that Putin told him to say that. It’s just too convenient for Trump to say that after that Tucker interview.

    Like, am I imagining things? It’s pretty clear they have communication, right?

      Oh no, they’ve been communicating since before 2016. Just look at the changes to party platform for the GOP that year regarding funding to Ukraine. The new policies, which came directly from Trumps people, reversed course on Ukraine and basically adopted pro-Kremlin positions. And it was out of left field…on alot of policy positions, they didn’t comment on shit or even have fully developed positions…but on Ukraine they have a very strong and very pro-Kremlin stance.

        Absolutely. For anyone who’s not familiar with Seth Abramson, he’s written three enormous books sourced from major news media piecing all of it together in excruciating detail. Here’s an interview about one of them for some flava.

        TL;DR Donald Trump is 100% colluding with russia and has been for well over a decade. There’s not a question about it. It’s a tower of concrete facts.
