Back channel conversations with murderous dictators is a wise tactic. Frequent communication between heads of state, even despicable ones, is not a bad thing. Trump's admiration of Putin and other dictators is on the record. The issue is not that it's Putin, but that it's Trump.

The issue is that some of these calls may very well have happened when Trump had classified material in his bathroom at Mar-A-Lago.

And Putin is right now interfering in our election. Recently he got caught by the FBI paying millions to a Nashville firm to pay to right-wing media personalities to broadcast Kremlin talking points. And they did. It's all on tape.

This is not back-channeling with a world leader. It's collaborating with the enemy.

I don’t think anyone would be objecting if he was chatting with Macron, Trudeau or whatever head of lettuce is in charge of the UK. There is a meaningful difference here.
 
Phillies’ playoff run ends tomorrow.
Here’s hoping.
Now back to the horse race. I for one cannot understand how anyone could be undecided at this point; they must not be paying attention. I guess it’s just wanting to “stick it to the man” without realizing that it is “the man” who helps them in their time of need.

There may a very few undecided high-information voters. But the vast majority are low-information, low-propensity. And that's exactly why she's focusing on podcasts and late night tv instead of network interviews and town halls.

She tripped up on The View this morning by not having a good answer to "What would you have done differently than Biden?" And right wing media will hammer her with it until Nov 5 even though Trump says something crazier every day.

I would object as should others. He was not a good or honest president. We fired him for cause. He has no business communicating with foreign heads of state as he can not be trusted to be truthful with them about his role (civilian, conman).
 
While there are sound reasons for maintaining channels of direct communication between heads of state to prevent potential misunderstandings and avoid unintended missteps, it might be worth asking why Trump would want to curry favor with Putin, and why both of them would take great care to conceal those "exchanges" from public view.
That was my point. Trump is inherently untrustworthy and clearly opportunistic, like Putin. He fails to appreciate his former position as head of state and what it means to speak for the entire nation in a manner consistent with the country’s policies and the last thing that will restrain him is the fact that he’s no longer president. If he has some classified material that he can use to position himself better with Putin yeah I have no doubt that he would use it. It’s the great Russian revolutionary Vladimir Lenin, who gets credited with the phrase “useful idiot“ and if that is a tool of Russian political orthodoxy, well then Putin is certainly a practitioner. When Trump says he’ll have the whole war. Settled within 24 hours I think a part of him actually believes that he has the cache to make it happen. He sees himself as the ultimate deal maker and he “wrote”a book about his “evolved” understanding and called it art. In Trump’s brain everything can be negotiated. That’s of course exactly what Putin wants— the chance to walk away from this war with Ukrainian territory. and justify this bloodbath to his people.

What ever you think about it there is no doubt that it’s fair game for Harris to go after him. Boy they are quick!

To be honest the covid tests angle is not a big deal. We literally have had 8 containers full of covid tests that were never picked up.
Since late 2020 or early 21.thats around a half a million (roughly) tests. There's around 180 tests per case. I wish they would have sent them somewhere to be used. I'm sure we aren't the only port to have this.
The high value medications are shipped in refrigerated containers 15 to 20 million each container value.I'm guessing the covid tests aren't expensive to manufacture.

Your timing is off. The point is that the stuff was given to Putin early in the pandemic when there were shortages in the U.S. That's the entire point.

It's doubtful these are the at-home type of tests. When Putin would be begging for them, the gold standard was PCR tests and later the rapid test machines.

I don't think this guy was looking for self administered test. He was scared for his life. The rumors of cancer have been going on for years.

Spoiler!
 
I strongly suggest listening to Kamala’s interview with Howard Stern- especially if you need to see what she is like in a more casual setting. She makes some great statements about who Trump is and comes across as a regular person who just happens to be very accomplished. I’m very happy she could be our next President.

That may be the case. Any substantial amount would be shipped in a refrigerated unit . A amount enough to affect the general population. That would make a digital paper trail through various government agencies.
Unless theyvare suggesting we loaded up military aircraft with them.
I'm sure that would have gotten out long before now.
My gripe is this is from a book .I dislike trump.im not fanatical over it.i need proof .this guy is promoting a book and makes money from it's sales.
That in it's self is reason enough to be suspicious of what's printed .
To me it goes along with the harris phone call or non phone call ect.
Phone records shipping records are easily produced .
Neither side has produced any of these when making a announcement.
Maybe it's election fatigue on my part.

No need to find the paper trail or shipping manifests. The Kremlin has confirmed it (but denied the phone calls).
