    With all of the faux apoplexy coming from the right about the Clinton Foundation and its relations with foreign interests, it's interesting to see how utterly clueless they are about Trump's relations with Russia and Putin.
    The man is so in hock to the Putin cronies that he will have to do their bidding if he ever gets elected.
    Trump would gladly sell out the US if it could make him a profit.
    Domestically, he is owned by the NY and NJ mafias, and now it comes to light that he is probably Putin's lapdog as well.
    This is going to be coming out in a steady stream of information about the real Trump and his actions.

    I'll have to do a little digging on Trump's Russia connections because I don't trust any source a Hillary supporter post.Isn't it funny how quickly you dismiss Hillary's stench to focus on Donald's. I'll follow your lead. Clinton actually helped Putin and company grab 20% of the uranium production in this country because he paid her. How many dictators has the Clintons taken money from? She'll sell us all out for a buck. Trump may as well but Hillary and company have been doing it for years.

    You can buy uranium just about anywhere. Jordan, Saudi Arabia included.

    The basic facts: This story is about the sale of a controlling stake in a Canadian company called Uranium One to Rosatom, the Russian atomic energy agency. Because Uranium One controlled uranium mines in the United States, the sale had to be approved by the Committee on Foreign Investment In the United States (CFIUS), part of the executive branch.

    A number of investors in Uranium One gave donations to the Clinton Foundation during the time the sale was being considered (between 2008 and 2010), in part through the participation of Frank Giustra, a Canadian mining magnate who was a large donor to the Foundation and who had controlled a company that eventually bought Uranium One (according to the Times, Giustra sold his interest in the company in 2007, before the Rosatom deal).

    I guess you lack the ability to digest my full post. I don't trust anything from a Hillary supporter. For all I know you were paid to post it and the writer was paid by the campaign to write it. But I will do my own independent research into it this afternoon.

    How about you and the Clinton Cash problem?

    I don't care about their production but I do care about a US Presidential candidate selling influence to help Russia secure a large portion of ours. That deal doesn't even scratch the surface of the Clinton's cash for influence scheme.

    Someone can say that you were paid by the Putin SBU to post topics that are not negative to Putin. Two can play that game.

    I have a major problem with any one or organization helping Russia in any way. I balance that with the fact that I have a major problem with with anyone who makes unsubstantiated accusations be they influence peddling or BenGhazi.

    Putin's a prick on the scale of Hillary. No way I would ever want to live under either's thumb. Your turn

    There are none so blind as those who refuse to see. Your username tells me where you land on that scale.

    I may not be comfortable with your source since it is unknown to me but anyone who has half a brain knows that Russian criminal tycoons own sports teams and massive amounts of properties in the NY NJ market.

    Trump has been funded by not only Russian filth but he has been saved financially by Chinese massive money interests.

    Trump,s Rodney King speech about getting along with Russians is not coming from Trump,s superior understanding of geo politics it cones from Trump,s business interests and the fact that Trumpnis owned by Putin.

    You know guys all that talk and constipated conspiracy crap aboutvObama being the Manchurian Candidate well look again and you see Donsldov Trumpovsky kissing Putin,s butt and singing ---- Make America Great Again but it,s Putin using Trump to make Russia Boilshoi Again.

    Why don't you go to the websites for the Clinton Foundation and the Clinton Global Fund.. Read their mission statements, whaat they do and who their contributors are?

    Russia could buy all the uranium they want from Jordan..

    A number of investors in Uranium One gave donations to the Clinton Foundation during the time the sale was being considered (between 2008 and 2010), in part through the participation of Frank Giustra, a Canadian mining magnate who was a large donor to the Foundation and who had controlled a company that eventually bought Uranium One (according to the Times, Giustra sold his interest in the company in 2007, before the Rosatom deal).

    I see nothing wrong with the US getting along with Russia, and I am certain the liberal media will see to it that no harm befalls the US through this.

    Whatever, the Clinton machine will lie about peddling influence just like they lied about Monica. Keep your blinders on like a good little crony. I've got a bridge for sale to anyone who buys the Clinton bull (*)(*)(*)(*). The proceeds will be used to feed hungry kids and combat climate change.

    That does seem to be one of the leading criteria for being a Trump supporter.
    I also think some of them are being wilfully ignorant since they know better than to actually believe Trump's demagoguery, but they are desperately trying to put some lipstick on their latest pig.

    Has Trump taken cash from Russia like Clinton has from foreign governments?

    You decide.

    Putin canceled at the last minute, but he sent a decorative lacquered box, a traditional Russian gift, and a warm note, according to Aras Agalarov, a Moscow billionaire who served as a liaison between Trump and the Russian leader.

    Still, the weekend was fruitful for Trump. He received a portion of the $14 million paid by Agalarov and other investors to bring the pageant to Moscow. Agalarov said he and Trump signed an agreement to build a Trump Tower in the heart of Moscow — at least Trump’s fifth attempt at such a venture. And Trump seemed energized by his interactions with Russia’s financial elite at the pageant and a glitzy after-party in a Moscow nightclub.

    “Almost all of the oligarchs were in the room,” Trump bragged to Real Estate Weekly upon returning home.

    Trump’s relationship with Putin and his warm views toward Russia, which began in the 1980s when the country was still part of the Soviet Union, have emerged as one of the more curious aspects of his presidential campaign.

    I see a Trump Tower in Moscow as a win-win for both sides. Building bridges between peoples is a good thing.

    Wait. You are talking about a pageant - not political favors. There's miles between the two. Is the big problem the evil Russians?

    Today's Russians are anti-communist - they've been there and done that. It failed. They tried uniting into the Soviet Union and found it was a mistake. Now they are nationalistic. You will not see refugees swarming across their borders.

    That is the real crux of the problem for the neo-libs. Their agenda is globalism and communism. The Soviets are not on board.

    We have more in common with the Russians than we have with Merkel's current EU.

    It's amazing how low Shilary supporters will sink. Emails get exposed that confirms how (*)(*)(*)(*)ing corrupt Clinton, and the Dem party is, and all the boot lickers can come up with is wild eyed tinfoil conspiracies about Putin, and Trump.

    Shilary, and Trump are jokes, but the biggest jokes are the stool pigeons on Political Forum, what a pathetic bunch of sale outs.
