MODERATORS
Where is the party in opposition that has not been decried as communistic by its opponents in power? Where is the opposition that has not hurled back the branding reproach of communism, against the more advanced opposition parties, as well as against its reactionary adversaries?
From the 2nd paragraph of the Communist manifesto from fucking 1848. Liberals never change.
If i had a penny for every time this has happened i would have a house in Malibu.
I like this guy!!
No shit
Still takes mettle to say it
Not really, Portugal ain't gonna do shit about it anyways, it's just lip service to appease euronazis.
Especially when so few other political leaders are willing to say it anymore.
yea well there is at least one European leader with some spine. Everyone else is trying work around Trump's man childness like the way house staff has to deal with the extremely spoiled kid of a billionaire.
What spine? If Portugal, objectively, says that he is a russian asset, why don't they back up their lip service with actual acts? Idk maybe kick out the US, coughs russian coughs, troops from their country?
If it is only lip service, he is just throwing some crumbs to the dumbass voting base that has no clue what is going on in the world 😅
More of an 'asset' I'd wager, but yeah
Yes but he’s a republican…
They’re the same picture
People need to say it more, so trump will do what he normally does and sues them.
Donald trump always loses once the case gets to discovery. They are never able to produce credible evidence since it's all lies and propaganda.
"Whichever one Russia is, I don't remember"
this would make mark rutte and VdL russian by proxy? 😂
We're still doing this? Six years after Mueller came back with nothing? After nine years of failing to validate a single point on the Steele dossier? 
I'm embarrassed to say I bought Russiagate for the first three years, but I can accept new evidence (or the lack of it) and move on.
"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity"
Soviet? Lol okay guys let’s calm it down a bit the Soviet Union has not existed for almost 40 years
Downvotes and replies from the most propagandized idiots I’ve ever interacted with. Lemmoids are just as bad as Redditors ever were lmao
Trump was honeytrappable buffoon and business fuckup desperate for funding when the USSR was still a going concern.
It's completely possible.

MUST CRUSH CAPITALISM
He's had relationships with the Russians for almost 40 years.
Right as Soviet system was being pulled apart by Western aligned corporations and mafia cartels.
Crazy coincidence.
he's 79. he's been krasnov since the 80s
this might blow your mind tranes but there are even some human people older than almost 40 years.
This might blow yours but none of them are working on behalf of a government that doesn’t exist
It also says he's a Russian asset in the title.
You trying to be nitpicky about it also saying soviet doesn't change the fact that the orange traitorous cunt is a putins' little bitch.
Doing the old trick of picking up on one little thing (that may be incorrect) to try to unravel everything else won't change fuck all. tRUMP is a fucking russian stooge, just like you.
Why is it always the brand new accounts with pro-Russia bad faith takes?
