It's closer to 1 million when you add in all the related tags (ImpeachTrump, Treason, TrumpTreason, TraitorTrump, etc.).
if trump wins again and russia establishes itself as the suzerain of the us history will be defined by putin.
Hashtags don't matter for shit. Stop caring about who's making the loudest noise.
The adversary is playing on a different level. Putin alone is rumored to be richer than Bezos and Gates combined. These people have generational power structures that have controlled global wealth and power for decades. They meet in private to calmly discuss strategy and execution to maintain that, and they're going to keep winning as long as people are distracted.
The only thing that matters next is focus, and action.
The entirety of Twitter doesn't matter one iota. It's literally a tool for distracting the peanut gallery, left and right. Don't fall for it.

until there is a real accounting of russian bots and paid commenters i'd consider the majority of that stuff suspect.
Yes because being loud has never stimulated action. Stop acting like saying nothing is the right thing to do here.
there is a tendency for people to assign to the general public of a country what their fucked up leaders do to increase/maintain power.
But that's ultimately not really fair, whether it's America or Russia or pretty much anyone else, the problem is the people in power, and not the people without power.
Read my post further up on action.
Kicking and screaming online is cathartic but achieves nothing. Be strategic and focus on actionable change.
Which means the rules should be revised.
But if Trump could get in power because of Social media algorithms, his tenure can also be ended this way.
Welcome to the United States of America. 3 million more votes were cast for Clinton, but the electoral college system fucked us.
And most people aren't actually doing anything to stop him. Their inaction is what enable Trump.
Now that excuse worked perfectly well for post WW2 Germany, now didn't it? America is 100% responsible for electing this fucker. There's no excuse, at least not one I'd accept.
The only thing Trump could do that would have any meaningful negative reaction from the GOP and his supporters is advocate and push for gun control.
Trump isn't the cause, he's the symptom.
America is sick.
Seeing several Fox News hosts calling out Trump for today gave me a chuckle.
Hannity defending Trump still tho
Hannity defending Trump still tho
Where are these Americans who don't support intervening in the affairs of other countries? Both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama massively interfered in the affairs of other countries. And they were the top candidates elected by Democrats.
The only non-interventionist candidate who even came remotely close to becoming a candidate for President was Bernie Sanders. And Americans chose a neocon war Hawk like Hillary over him.
So please. Don't give me BS about Americans caring about what their country does in other countries. They are only enraged now, because Russia dared to meddle in American elections. The US of A has done far worse by supporting coups, overthrowing democratically elected governments and installing brutal dictators like Pinochet. Look him up. Trump is nothing compared to him.
So funny
But what people forget whenever they pull that stat:
58.1% of the eligible voting pop. actually voted in 2018
The margin by which Hilary Clinton won the pop. vote was a mere 2.1%
2.1% is fucking nothing. Half of the country is trash.
You don't know what you are talking about
Amazing how much wrong you have in this post the whataboutism is storing in you. Not to mention the privilege.
Lol
Today's event is just.. I'm still thinking about it and can't fall asleep. Haven't been this baffled in a long time, maybe ever.
Putin is playing the long game, first he neuters the UK by taking us out of the EU, now he is taking America out of NATO and I don't think it will be long before America starts withdrawing troops from Europe. This is all about making Russia the big boys, have them politically start taking back their former states piece by piece knowing the UK and America will sit back and let it happen.
This isn't about Russia controlling the USA, it's about making the EU weak.

I don't think Hannity will ever not defend Trump. I don't know if he has a Russia connection or what, but there's something going on. They even shared the same lawyer.
He's more like our antibodies letting in viruses and attacking our own immune system.
Saying he's the symptom is like saying he's just a fever. Nah, this dude is directly responsible some of the worse stuff happening right now. The problems in America are significant and exacerbated by people like Trump and Putin, and they couldn't accomplish what they are if it wasn't for our own issues, but at the same time, Trump is dismantling the country in a way that wouldn't have been possible without the corruption of an outside force working with the corruption from within.
I think trump is trying out a new tactic: be so embarrassingly cringy so people can't even tune in anymore. I think it's working
It was confirmed he has a back channel to Assange/WikiLeaks in those leaked messages
One thing that bothers me. If Putin really wanted Trump to keep on going as his puppet why allow this public blowjob to happen? Why not stage a show where Trump at least appears tough during the press event?
He is literally trolling America. "I own your President, I'm going to show the world I own your President. And there isn't a god damn thing anyone can do about it."

Trump was never a real president in the first place. Just a flat out phony.
And that meeting has basically confirmed that Trump is a slave of Putin.

Ah, would be lovely to see that dirt bag get indicted by Mueller <3
Yeah I don't get this either. Why even have the meeting at all?
Just for the record, you are opposed to America, not to intervening in other countries
Russia is getting everything it wants. When Trump is no longer useful they can always unleash the bomb that is GOP emails, Trump compromised data etc. That would then cause the US to go into an even bigger crisis. Can you imagine the situation that would develop with Trump being outed by the Russians? It would shake Americas Institutions to the core. The Founders never envisioned this scenario so there really are no structure in place to deal with it. I mean Impeachment would get rid of Trump but then there is the Judges appointed etc. I mean you would need to do a huge purge of everything Trump has touched and yet there is nothing in place to even accomplish much of that.
The GOP is riding along because they fear what Russia may know/have. They sold out to protect their power and can always get burned when Russia has no us for them
While I agree that it's showing his hand a little too heavily given how closely he's played it thus far, he's still human, he's fallible and prideful. It's entirely possible he did it purely because he knew that he could get away with it. Regardless of whatever happens to Trump, Putin will always have this moment, the moment in which he willfully defied and embarrassed America on a global stage with the world watching.
It could be politically motivated too, as he comes out looking exceptionally strong, put together, and in control. Maybe he did it because he knows something bigger is about to break and wanted to have his fun while he could. In the end, however, whatever his reason behind doing it the lack of ramifications surely played a role.
User Banned (5 days): Whataboutism. Pattern of trolling. User in junior phase.
What, voting for the Iraq war, being a loyal supporter of Netanyahu and destroying Libya is not enough for neocon credentials?

Well, please do explain to me since I am so ignorant about the whole thing. Also please explain Obama's support for this guy and the sale of F-16s to him:

It all comes down to geopolitics. There are no good guys here.
I have no sympathy for either Trump or the GOP, because they sold themselves & this country out to Russia & Putin.
Neither do I have sympathy for the RNC for that matter, because they could've easily nominated someone else that wouldn't put them in a lot of deep shit.
Last time I checked we still had to deal with Poland, Romania, Hungary and Italy.
Not to mention that Brexit thing and the ever present threat of LePen.
Greatness is subjective.
In America's case: in the most Biggest way imaginable.
Only heading? There's an argument to be made we're already living it. It's just a different natured beast than WWI and WWII. A big portion of the world is in the middle of or participating in some kind of conflict. The big players in the last war aren't (yet) at each others' throats directly, but that's probably closer than it has been in a long while.
What a bullshit post. Yes, we get it, America is no angel, "both sides", blah blah blah. But guess what? Keeping the US from devolving into Russia 2.0 would be in everyones interest to prevent. So what exactly are you trying to prove? Should we all just suffer for your tiny schadenfreude and I-told-you-so enjoyment? Or do you think what's actually happening is a good thing?
North America as in Canada and Mexico?
Or North America as in Alaska?
Do what, exactly?
