There's certainly plenty of evidence which could point to kompromat. Even if he's not compromised they clearly have some sort of "arrangement." But, again, that's mind numbingly obvious to anyone with their head not lodged in their ass.
Sorry dude, I don't believe I can help you. You wander out of that forest of falsehoods and straw men, you let us know.
You’re acting like we’re reaching for conspiracy theories, when all we’re doing is looking at his public actions and declarations.
He couldn’t be acting more Putin, and anti West and Allies if he tried. Even if he isn’t compromised or on side with Putin he’s acting exactly 100% as if he is.
Thanks for being the sole voice of reason here. You laid it out so clearly and I wouldn’t be surprised if I was the only one to read your comment completely. It’s always odd to me how liberals in America get so offended and immediately abusive/dismissive towards anyone who dares contradict them. It feels like they would gladly tune in to Maddow every night to watch her tease them about another bombshell Trump tax scandal that doesn’t exist. They’re addicted to this drama, and they get every bit as furious as their conservative counterparts when you try to point out that they’re falling for literally the exact same fake scandal from 6 years ago.
Whether Trump was KGB or not, he likes Putin free from any outside influence. Just like he digs Erdoğan and Milei because they are authoritarians, he digs Putin too. How does this not compute?!
He's 110% compromised, and it's why his whole staff met with Russians ahead of his taking office the 1st time, why Russians never went into the logs, why nothing they talked about ever came out of the room, and why he is continuing to do Putin's bidding with regard to Ukraine currently. Not believing so plays into his "Russia Russia Russia" misinformation campaign. Putin may not have Kompromat, but I think Trump would sell the US for a few Trump hotels in Russia, and a place to flee should anyone with authority actually tries to hold him accountable for his laundry list of crimes and treasonous actions.
Also remember he also has had help from Moscow Mitch, and the seven members of Congress that went to report the "Russia Russia Russia" status back to Trump's handlers and get further instructions.
Every single time I see your comments on something, it seems as if your purpose is to come off as someone trying their hardest to be on the wrong side of everything.
Yeah… I’ll bet.
Man… It must be so lonely and frustrating for your to have to be the one to be right about everything all the time. There’s always people constantly calling you “smug” and, “arrogant” while all you’re doing is providing a much needed service! You’re just a simple person, trying to educate them and lift the veil of their willful ignorance! Right?
Seriously, having to face a never-ending barrage of links that people dig up within a matter of minutes, proving you wrong in their weak and fragile little minds? I can’t imagine the sheer capacity one’s brain must have to deal with, contemplate, correct, admonish, lord over, and chastise soooo many ignorant subjects in a single day.
My hat’s off to ya.
The lord’s work my friend….The lord’s work.
Ok thanks. Say hi to your sister for me

I think your use of compromised is too narrow here and that's why you're being attacked for it. We can see how he behaves around Musk and it's not too far off Putin if you ignore the public facing nature of it. I don't think Trump is trying to prevent some kompromat either, but clearly favor has been curried behind the scenes. Trump is well known to have, and self admittedly has, a piggy bank in Russia bigger than his piggy bank here, at least in 2016. I think to believe there isn't people on Russia who have similar relationships to the ones in America that make him cucked to Elon Musk is a bit niave, if that's what you're saying.
My guy he rigged the election with f'elon
"Donald Trump is a Manchurian Candidate" is the thing you get to say when you've run out of other things to say. Its the thin edge of the grift for BlueMAGA. We're going to get a big earful about how anyone who disagrees with Chuck Schumer is also compromised. Everyone who doesn't toe the line on Israel is a double-agent. Anyone who says or does anything to denigrate the Democratic Party is a Wumao or a Bot or an evil Iranian Terrorist.
The only thing that Liberals have learned from Trumpism is that you need to lie bigger and louder and more incredulously than the last guy.
Nobody wants to accept that these corrupt policies are coming from inside the country. Thielism has compromised as many democrats as republicans. And the Network State is going to come for us all, whether we're waving a rainbow flag or a thin blue line one.
