So I really wonder about this extraordinary story. It really calls into question Trump's shady connections to the Russians, and also his adviser's shady connections. What exactly is going on here?

Here's the transcript which should set your hair on fire. If you're a normal person.

Someone wrote he's a mix of McGovern and Buchanan.

On strictly foreign policy would code pink like Trump or Hillary better?

Cawacko I am not in codepink and haven't even worked with or talked to them since about 05. Maybe 06? I have no clue what they like or dislike. Nor care. I walked away from the pitchfork left a decade or more ago because I can't stand to be around them.

I would also have to ask, what is Trump's foreign policy? I don't think anyone knows. Is playing footsie with someone like Putin a foreign policy? Is there to be a new alliance that replaces Nato and is made up of authoritarian loon Putin and authoritarian loon Trump?

Can you tell me that's off the table?

Cause I'm just wondering how anyone votes for this guy? I do hope the very first bombs fall right on their families.

The Republican nominee for president, Donald J. Trump, has chosen this week to unmask himself as a de facto agent of Russian President Vladimir Putin, a KGB-trained dictator who seeks to rebuild the Soviet empire by undermining the free nations of Europe, marginalizing NATO, and ending America’s reign as the world’s sole superpower.

I am not suggesting that Donald Trump is employed by Putin—though his campaign manager, Paul Manafort, was for many years on the payroll of the Putin-backed former president of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych. I am arguing that Trump’s understanding of America’s role in the world aligns with Russia’s geostrategic interests; that his critique of American democracy is in accord with the Kremlin’s critique of American democracy; and that he shares numerous ideological and dispositional proclivities with Putin—for one thing, an obsession with the sort of “strength” often associated with dictators. Trump is making it clear that, as president, he would allow Russia to advance its hegemonic interests across Europe and the Middle East. His election would immediately trigger a wave of global instability—much worse than anything we are seeing today—because America’s allies understand that Trump would likely dismantle the post-World War II U.S.-created international order. Many of these countries, feeling abandoned, would likely pursue nuclear weapons programs on their own, leading to a nightmare of proliferation.

Yea...I can't stand the extremes either. I'm not sure where I stand. I know I'm a cross between an anal retentive liberal, like Watermark, and a bleeding heart conservative, like Wacko.
