What’s Putin’s Puppet hiding?

We're maybe hours from learning the promise Trump made and to which leader, less than 24 from him calling it fake news, two days away from Republicans being "troubled," three away from the WH admitting the story is true but Trump was "joking," four from the GOP falling into line.

Were watching in real time as he gets out maneuvered by the Iranians and his answer is to ask the Saudis what he should do.

Forgot to italicize it. Did it so you can show you have nothing intelligent to add and are a petty little man.

Right on time......

Another Fake News story out there - It never ends! Virtually anytime I speak on the phone to a foreign leader, I understand that there may be many people listening from various U.S. agencies, not to mention those from the other country itself. No problem!
...Knowing all of this, is anybody dumb enough to believe that I would say something inappropriate with a foreign leader while on such a potentially “heavily populated” call. I would only do what is right anyway, and only do good for the USA!

I don't think we'll know in hours what this is all about. Sounds like it's too serious.

I laugh too much for an angry person...why do you constantly tell everyone that they are angry? I think you are projecting

Former CIA officer on the whistleblower complaint: "This is galloping your horse over the cliff with a guidon streaming. You can only do it once; you are finished however it turns out, so it had better be worth it. I suspect it is."

Look at your posts lately. Seems to me you are showing a lot of anger and trying to insult people. I'm not projecting. I really could care less about some of the people's opinions here.

Some of the folks on the right here do seem especially angry.

depends on how you define ‘winning’. if you define it as widespread peace and prosperity, there’s been an awful lot of winning. liberals and snowflakes use a different definition, as we all know.

again, i see a lot of insults on this forum from both sides, but you only claim that the conservatives are angry. if it’s not a blindly partisan logic, i’d love to hear you explain/justify that. pete’s not angry, but me and scott and dangles are. fascinating.

Neither Pete nor I start with the "all Dems. do this or that" (I don't read all of Pete's posts/threads) like you do. I pointed that out in the Kavanaugh thread (was it post #31?). SD posts nothing remotely intelligent, just stupid comments, and petty/backhanded insults. Look at Scott's comments lately - just insults and typical snarky comments. I don't read all of WDMSO's posts but he doesn't help my argument.

You won't find very many insults from w/o it being a response to an insult where either you do the all Dem. thing or SD posts his usual childish petty insults. I figure why take it from him.

None of this matters, I got some money, the Dow and it's the illegal immigrants that are the real danger.

No, the Citrus Caligula did not start all the things listed below, but his clueless foreign policy and decimation of the State Department is enabling the bad guys to step up with things that are not in our best interest. Who knew it could be so complicated.

Before the election the Stable Genius will get us into a war, he thinks that is a viable method to get elected.

Vietnam has been screaming bloody murder as China has accelerated its revisionist policy in the South China Sea

Russia began mobilizing its troops in occupied Georgia

Iran and Israel’s warm conflict escalated horizontally into Iraq

North Korea resumed testing missiles

India and Pakistan resumed tensions over Kashmir, raising tensions for the second time in a year

Japan and South Korea are relitigating old disputes

Taliban increased its attacks in Afghanistan

Department of Defense warned that the Islamic State is making a comeback

It turns out that Iran might be cheating on the nuclear deal

Ebola outbreak in Congo has spread into Uganda

The international trade system, one of the important pillars of peace, became more unstable

And Brexit is, well, not going too well, leaving the potential of a UK-EU diplomatic conflict that will weaken both sides

Ukrainian civil war

Syrian civil war which generated a refugee crisis that led to the rise of populism in Europe

Yemeni civil war and the Saudi-Iranian proxy war there

China’s artificial island project

Venezuelan crisis

Libyan civil war

Hong Kong protests

Russia’s general disruption of Western politics and propping up far-right parties in Europe

On the one hand you have a whistleblower who is rumored to be saying Trump pressured Ukraine to interfere in the US election but on the other hand you have Trump’s lawyer saying Trump pressured Ukraine to interfere in the US election and I don’t know who to believe.
