Where would y'all rank Trump-Russia contact against Nixon-Vietnam contact or Reagan-Iran contact?

I get the feeling many of you are waking up from your long slumber where you weren't able to notice how the world actually works.

You're so sophisticated. Sorry, I don't want a president who is blackmailed by another country.

I seem more sophisticated that you do. I'm totally with you on your wants. But the world is very nasty and power tends to go to the very nastiest.

Now tell me, what did you think about Nixon's working with the Vietnamese or Reagan's working with the Iranians?

Very different than actually having stuff on the president like "golden showers". Not even in the same ball park.

Agreed. Golden showers are much less worrisome than prolonging wars that kill Americans and even larger numbers of innocent Vietnamese.

But there is a lot more than this. There is the Guardian report about the FBI FISA warrants on the Trump campaign. There is Trump's attitude toward Russia, which is otherwise unexplainable. There are reports that the IC briefed Trump on material the Russians have on him. Even if the 35-page report is not true and even if McCain had no part in it, there are lots of other details that are easily verifiable. A congressional investigation has to happen.

Let's see how Trump handles this at his presses tomorrow.

Where do you people get that its unexplainable? Russia has lots of oil, a pretty good military, it's culturally closer to the U.S. than many of our putative allies in the Middle East, and its been bombing ISIS and Al-Quaeda in Syria. I realize that isn't standard American elite fare, but it's not exactly 'unexplainable'.

We people get it from our Department of Defense and Intelligence Community.

Take a look at pages 3,7,10 to get started. Russia is an enemy.

Russia is one of DoD's and the military industrial complex's favorite enemies much more than it is our nation's (as in our peoples') enemy. Why? Because making into an enemy is very good for bu$ine$$. Can you sell the public on the F-35 at a quarter billion a piece if you tell them it's to bomb Ahmed in a some desert in west Asia? No. But you can sell the public if you tell them Russia is coming for us.

If you people think Russia is so bad, by the same scale we should long ago have dropped the Saudis as allies. But our government doesn't. Do you get that the interests of insiders are not the same as yours?

I have friends who are Russian who have immigrated here. They are nice people. Their former government is not.

You're saying that Trump is powerful. In a week he will be a powerful political figure, but last year he was just another businessman. A TV star who played a businessman, technically.

Trump is not "working with" Russia. He is being worked by Russia.

Maybe. But I think it's even more likely you all are getting worked up by stuff that was designed to do just that.

I am an American and I know many people in the U.S. government that are not nice people. In fact most governments are full of not-nice people. Not at all surprising to those of us who pay attention.

The stuff was actually designed to keep him from the presidency. Didn't work.

But Trump can Tweet "Fake news" for only so long. This report is damaging.

The issue is today and now what happened more than 30 years ago. We are talking about Russia controlling our future president.

For everyone who regards Russia as "the enemy". Can I ask: who sets foreign policy in our democracy?

We've kinda been trying to not be enemies with Russia, but Putin hasn't been cooperating.

[Anonymous]

Funny, no one is suggesting any of the allegations, from golden showers to being a siberian candidate are implausible.

And even the attorney who tweeted that he hasn't been to prague, didn't deny there was a meeting.

In Trump's case, the enemy, if the enemy has acquired enough Kompromat.

Reagan was a drug dealer and he is a republican God. Go figure.

Given that Trump employed Roger Stone, can we please call it 'rat fucking'? The need to heighten the sense of "other" is telling.

Thank you! There is always a terrifying amount of nonsense in politics. One thing about the post-WWII US success is that American chauvinism meant folks felt above the ugliness they saw in other countries. That made them miss that there was a lot of ugliness here in the US.

#GoldenShower is trending on twitter right now. Even if it turns out to be a fake news story, the tweets are pretty funny, for example

"The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself”
- Franklin D. Roosevelt

"Pee on my face."
- Donald J. Trump
