STOP ABORTING BABIES, START ABORTING LIBERALS - It's "is" because the subject is "1", which is singular. It sounds like it should be "are" because so many people get it wrong, the way so many people say "there's" when it's actually correct to say "they're" when referring to plural objects. Since it is such a common mistake, I don't think it makes someone a total fucking moron, or whatever you called the original poster, when they make it. It isn't nearly as dumb as the ivy league educated President not knowing "there" from "they're", or not knowing how to spell "smoke"...or thinking "Scott Free" is a proper name. And Trump founded a university! Oh yeah, it was a sham. By the way, if you're going to split hairs, you should proof read your own posts. Just glancing, I saw a typo.

- Trump repeated Russian propaganda many times. He said the USSR occupied Afghanistan in '79 because of terrorists, and was "right to do it". (The US was instrumental in driving out the Soviets).
- While Putin was running a disinformation campaign against Montenegro, Trump said he thought Montenegro might start WWIII. (Montenegro? Can Trump even find France on a map? Of all countries, he chose one with a multisyllabic name to use as an example? He's too lazy to finish most sentences when he speaks in public).
- Against advisor's advice, Trump congratulated Putin for "winning" a rigged election.
- Trump said Crimea was part of Russia.
- At a NATO summit, Trump refused to reaffirm Article 5, (The 'all for one' article only evoked once, by the US, after 9/11).
- At the Helsinki Summit, Trump said he didn't see why Russia would meddle in our election. (Maybe because US intelligence told him they did)?
- "Russia, if you're listening..."
- The Steele dossier says Michael Cohen met with Russian intelligence in Prague during the 2016 campaign. It's unverified, but not discredited, and much of it has been corroborated. (Why would anyone pay for a fake dossier? You can make shit up for free. I bet Steele can prove that HE was in Europe at the time he was doing his work).
- Trump ordered a troop withdrawal from Syria. (a day before Putin's annual press conference). Russia is in Syria to protect the Assad regime. Under Obama, the official US position on Syria was that Assad should go. Trump changed that to allow Assad to stay for now.
- Trump security advisor, Carter Page, went to Moscow to make a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. (Page got caught-up in a Russian spy ring in 2013).
- The Trump campaign requested one change to the RNC platform. At the convention, attended by Russian ambassador, Sergey Kislyak, a Trump staffer made this request. The staffer says he was asked to do it by senior campaign members. Manafort and Trump have publicly denied any involvement.
- 80% of the communication requests on a server in Trump Tower came from a Russian bank. (19% from Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos, and her brother, former Blackwater chief, Eric Prince. The remaining 1% comprised all others).
- Trump campaign self described "dirty trickster", Roger Stone, said he had contacts with Guccifer 2.0 and Julian Assange, the very hackers who hacked the DNC and the guy who weaponized the information.
- Jarred Kushner met with the head of a SANCTIONED Russian bank to discuss setting-up a back-channel to the Kremlin. They discussed a deal in which the US would provide sanction relief in exchange for help with Kushner's 666 5th Avenue money pit of a real estate venture.
- Russian born gangster, felon, and Trump business partner, Felix Sater, is reputed to have been working to get Trump elected. He worked with Trump on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Trump said he didn't know Sater well, and "probably wouldn't recognize him if I saw him". Sater was at Trump's election victory party.
- Trump's campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, was at the Trump Tower meeting. He offered polling data to a known Russian intelligence officer. 21 states' voter rolls were hacked. Manafort had been a lobbyist for Putin. He helped install a crooked, pro-Russian dictator in Ukraine.
- During the campaign, Michael Flynn went to Moscow for an RT event. (RT - Russia Today, aka, Russian propaganda), and made a speech disparaging US/Russia policy. He lied about his compensation, and failed to register as a foreign agent.
- Trump chose Rex Tillerson, former CEO of Exxon, as his first Sec. of State. Tillerson had received Russia's highest award for a foreigner. Exxon lost a $500 billion oil deal with a Russian, state-run, oil company when the US sanctioned Russia for its illegal invasion of Ukraine. Trump fired Tillerson the day after he publicly criticized Putin.
- The FBI had asked the Trump campaign to call if they saw anything suspicious, but nobody did. Later, Trump would say, (about the Trump Tower meeting), "I think anyone would have taken that meeting". (No. that is not a normal part of a Presidential campaign).
- In a private meeting with Putin, Trump took possession of the notes of his own interpreter, and instructed the linguist not to discuss what transpired in the meeting with administration officials.
- The heat is on. Trump is under investigation and under the microscope, yet he CONTINUES to engage in suspicious behavior with regard to Russia. He is STILL trying to lift sanctions on them, without ANY change in their behavior. He never has, and still doesn't include US/Russia relations in his policy rhetoric besides repeating, "Getting along with Russia is a good thing". That's ludicrous. Of course we want to get along with everyone. Chamberlain wanted to get along with Hitler. It's capitulating with your enemies.
