It has now been 9 years since the escalator ride and I have yet to see a rational explanation for the support that the Felon President-elect gets from virtually every corner of the ring. It can't simply be the power of the office, because every President has that and it certainly isn't any sort of moral or ethical imperative because he is completely lacking in the standards that would enable either. It's almost as though he's only a puppet and someone else is pulling the strings, in which case the critical question is "Who?"
That's the public story, but neither of them has any real power. All it would have taken anywhere along the line is for someone or several someones to say in unison "oh no you're not" and he would have wilted. As Alvin Bragg has demonstrated, nothing in Trump's arsenal stands up to examination in front of a jury.
Oh Dave, don't underestimate what it means to be owned by the Russians. That goes back to the 70's when he housed the spies coming from Moscow. In Floriduh.
A presidential candidate tried, and failed, to own my dad in the 60's. They offered serious money and power. They weren't playing. Just saying.
I don't underestimate it Hannah, I just don't have a visceral understanding of what it means. I know that the Russians play for keeps by rules that are very different from ours but that's not the same as having the experience.

I think we know who. Putin and the Christian right maniacs.

Fair enough Dave. I don't disagree with you. Just sharing what little frame of reference I have.
All the information we can get will help.
Trumputin is his name.
