Hmmmm. Makes you wonder what Putin has over him. Again, if he doesn't want to be called a Russian agent, he should stop acting like a Russian agent.

"...an approach they argue amounts to appeasing the Kremlin in a bid to swiftly draw the conflict to a close."
Well of course. It's all about Trump wanting to say he stopped a war. He doesn't give a damn about selling out Ukraine & he's completely cowed by Putin.

It is hard for me to understand how anyone is the least bit surprised to learn that the Trump administration is working hand in hand with Moscow. The Trump-Putin partnership has been obvious from the outset.

That Jair Bolsonaro is serving a 27 year prison sentence in Brazil for attempting a coup, while an America president who did the same thing is not only free, but trying to help him escape is exactly the kind of thing that makes the U.S. a third world country.

About 40% of SNAP recipients are children. Around half of ALL children in the country are covered by Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program.
And the so-called “party of family values” gutted both programs by billions of dollars.
Doesn’t sound very pro-family to me.

Disgusting. No free country can count on us anymore. Only the dictatorships he so admires.
The president and his special envoy are primarily concerned with finding a way to make Putin happy by providing a sufficient reward for his brutal and sadistic war of aggression. We have become a country that sells out our friends and embraces the worst people on the planet.

Becoming worrisome? Like inciting a coup wasn't?
Trump is clearly losing his bearings, and there is no one in the White House who can calm him or get him to modify his actions or his provocative statements. Trump’s irrational and impulsive behavior is becoming particularly worrisome.
