I've come to really like his show, and his guests tend to be quite thoughtful and well informed (and he lets them talk).

The mainstream media is way more interested in the superficial.
When have you ever heard in-depth policy coverage? It's rare.

MSNBC has been connecting the dots right up to the door. They can't go through that door until there is actual, tangible evidence, preferably from more than one direct, credible, reliable source. That's how journalism works.

And it got ignored by everyone.

Trump talks about things only Putin would know.

Where is he getting his "heads-up" from. Trump is
not capable of making these decisions, he has his
head in Russian drawers.

So, msongs, your reply is very much appreciated. I
sometimes wonder if I am misinterpreting. Maddow said, over a
week ago that she was surprised of the lack of response to
her allegations of the treasonous behavior of Trump. His
actions are treasonous and the G.O.P ignoring these issues
means that they are co-conspirators.

And, msongs, these are my opinions and not yours, you do
not have to agree with me, it is just encouraging to me
that others observe the same dialogue.

thank you

Rachel Maddow’s story about this; the gist is that much of TraitorTot’s talking points come from Fox News, Alex Jones, etc., but none of these sources are talking about Afghanistan and the reason why the Soviet Union invaded it. The only one talking about it, and specifically in the terms used by Trumpass, is the Kremlin.

We know that Trumpass knows nothing about everything, and he also doesn’t read, so we know that the talking points come directly from Putin, but through whom?

The favorites for being Putin’s conduit are Jared Kushner, Stephen Miller, and Melinomia.

I’m putting my money on Trumpass’s Putin Whisperer being Jared.
