Debatable. Or is it that he understands where his disadvantage lies; in crossing Putin. What is clear is that Trump is the junior partner in a crime syndicate headed by Putin, and that they must stick together. Or the rewards of that collaboration will be lost, and more possibly unpleasant consequences for the junior partner.

If itās just women peeing on a bed then Iād agree. Iām just not sure itās limited to that. Are they women or are they girls? Is he dominating them or are they dominating him? I tend to think that itās all about how PP perceives the personal damage to his own ego. Something you or I might think he could spin his way out of may be something heās personally deeply embarrassed and ashamed of. Or, maybe itās just so kinky and disturbing that he knows he couldnāt distract and spin his way out of it. Maybe heās being mounted by a large black woman wearing a strap on who heās calling Barack as she pees on him? Aināt no spinning his way out of that one.

But we already KNOW all this
You are supposed to put on your tin hat and come up with something wild. Like Putin had a brain chip implanted in Trump and controls his every thought. And tweet. Thus Covfefe.

Same. Iāve felt that way since we first heard about the Steele Dossier which had been floating around the political press for months before it became known to the public.

Iām just hearing on teevee that Trump is furious, and thereās an all-out effort to find out who leaked it - White House says itās a fireable offense and āprobablyā illegal."

This is weapons-grade level trolling by Brennan.
People were wondering if it was McMaster. Heās on his way out anyway, but Trumpās actions here have not a few people criticizing him, including some republicans.
Rubio was asked, and in typical fashion, he tried to have it both ways:
āI donāt like what he did, but I really hate that thereās someone in his inner circle thatās willing to leak this stuff.ā
I donāt hate it at all. Trumpās not a dictator. He can do what he wants, but heās going to get called on it when itās something like this.

LOL. Now thatās a pee tape for the ages. That one, that would hurt him. And just thinking about itāgingerly, I donāt want to really imagine it too vividlyābut just thinking maybe thatās it has made me feel strangely calm and peaceful. Itās Trump, after all. Heās such a mess, and so obviously riding for a really hard fall, that it could be that ridiculous and un-live-downable. It could be. Such a happy thoughtā¦

McCaffery said those talking points for Trump were prepared by the State Dept., Defense, the IC, so this leak could have come from anywhere.
Happy thoughts. I love them. And youāre so right. I get so tired of people talking about him like heās invulnerable.

I agree itās debatable, but I donāt think weāre saying different things. Iāve just stated it from the positive side while youāre expressing it as a negative. But Iām just not sure that itās fear that keeps Trump from attacking, or even mildly disparaging, Putin. After all, he hasnāt attacked Stormfront or the American Nazi Party and its affiliates or the Ku Klux Klan, and one would hardly say that heās afraid of them. His claim of āsome very fine peopleā among the murderous riff-raff at Charlottesville and his general embrace of the so-called āalt-rightā (neo-fascists) suggest that this is where is affinity lies. Essentially, I think Putin is the person Trump would most like to be (of those authoritarians still alive today), but he knows itās beyond his reach. For one thing, he lacks the ruthlessness imbued by Putinās KGB training and experience.

I think indisputable tapes, recordings, and emails of treasonous behavior would be far worse.
In this CGI world, FOX would have zero trouble spinning any sex tape, especially a really sick one, as a fraud.
But Putin and Trump discussing how to steal the election? THAT would be impossible to spin away.
Especially when it was admitted as evidence in a court of law.

The big problem with Trump is that he has no morals or ethics. Laws are for the little people. Iāll bet he didnāt think he was doing anything wrong. He wanted to win; he didnāt care how, and the methods never bothered him.

I think Trump has both an ideological and personal affinity for Putin and Putinās Russia. Trump isnāt loyal to the US. Heās loyal to white nationalism, Russian hookers, dirty money, his criminal and authoritarian buddies. The fear Trump has is that more scrutiny would expose the Trump-Russia business, political and financial relationship. If that were to happen, Russia would not face major consequences because they are protected within the borders of their large country and by their standing as an international power. Trump, however, as a resident of the US, would end up in jail and his family business, ruined.
What Trump fears is revealing the true extent of their partnership, not about dalliances with Russian hookers, or even the hideous stories about his sexual misconduct with minors via the Trump modeling agency. If/when the true extent of the Russia-Trump partnership is revealed, Trump goes to jail and is ruined and may end up being a loose end for the FSB or others to take care of. The stakes are much higher for Trump than they are for Putin. That asymmetry makes Trump beholden to Putin. Putin is now his creditor, his landlord, his lessor, his daddy. If the Trump-Russia relationship is no longer of value to Putin, Putin could and would drop him and that would destroy Trump. Again, Trumpās survival depends on being of continuing value and interest to Vladimir Putin.
To use a Star Wars analogy, in Star Wars III, when Anakin helps Chancellor Palpatine by cutting off Mace Winduās hand, thereby enabling Palpatine to turn defeat into victory, Anakin knows the die is cast. He surrenders to Palpatine because he knows that if the truth of what he did to Mace Windu is revealed, he would be tried and executed. So instead of trying to mitigate the problem and plead immaturity or a misunderstanding, Palaptine jumps on Anakinās moral quandary and makes him commit more atrocities, thereby wedding Anakinās fate to the Dark Side and to Palpatine more firmly. But the relationship is asymmetrical. Anakin, now Darth Vader, has no standing on his own. Palpatine has legitimacy as the now Emperor. He can drop Darth Vader any time he wants, which forces Vader to do even more to be of value to him. Darth Vader becomes a man without a country, a planet, an identity. The same thing has happened to Trump.

It does seem like a concerted effort to totally unhinge the orange stain. They know how to hit him. They know how to turn the tables on him and show him to be a weak Putin puppet to his supporters. Keep up the good work psyops.

Good point. And even if his brain dead supporters canāt read the writing on the wall the Republicans in congress can. All the hits Trump is taking are starting to show bruises. The GOP congress is starting, slowly, to make the turn. It wonāt be enough and it will be too late for them, but they are finally starting to move.
