8MIN MUST SEE VID: TRUMP pushes obscure/bizarre/secret internal RUSSIAN POLICIES

[Granule]

Please take the 8 minutes to view this and post your impressions! (I watched it last night. I was going to put it up night but didn't see it till this AM)

I was dug into something else last night and Maddow was on in the background. But this caught my attention immediately when she wondered out loud why Trump said Russia had to invade Afghanistan. That one threw me for a loop a couple of days ago as well. I looked up IMMEDIATELY. Apparently that pronouncement had an effect on her and had the same effect on the ex-ambassador to Russia she had called in as an expert on Russian policies. Policies that she could NOT find anywhere else. Policies that only Russia seems to posture, know about and embrace. The ambassador was left sputtering a bit. Rachel herself was sputtering a bit. I realized I had been shaking my head in disbelief and I have no idea how long.

Poland, Montenegro, Afghanistan??

PS THIS IS THE SAME RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR TRUMP SAID PUTIN WANTED THE OPPORTUNITY TO 'INTERVIEW' AND TRUMP THOUGHT WAS A GOOD IDEA and said so out loud. IT SENT SHOCKWAVES THROUGH THE STATE AND FOREIGN SERVICE RANKS. It was NEVER mentioned again.

I, along with so many others, obsess over Donald Trump

A criminal business operator, aided and abetted by a murdering thug president of another country, to help Individual 1 to become the President of the US. Gee, do you think WE shouldn't obsess? Let me assure you, HIS generals are. And so is HIS party.

Sorry, I do NOT use the bible or its 'spinoffs' to use as HISTORY references. I just don't.

it wasn't a reference to history.....it was a testament to tekelism.......but it seems to me that if you want us to watch an eight minute video you ought to at least be willing to read Daniel 5......here, I'll even give you a paste......

22 “But you, Belshazzar, his son,[d] have not humbled yourself, though you knew all this. 23 Instead, you have set yourself up against the Lord of heaven. You had the goblets from his temple brought to you, and you and your nobles, your wives and your concubines drank wine from them. You praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood and stone, which cannot see or hear or understand. But you did not honor the God who holds in his hand your life and all your ways. 24 Therefore he sent the hand that wrote the inscription.

25 “This is the inscription that was written:

mene, mene, tekel, parsin

26 “Here is what these words mean:

Mene[e]: God has numbered the days of your reign and brought it to an end.

27 Tekel[f]: You have been weighed on the scales and found wanting.

28 Peres[g]: Your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians.”

You know I got a smattering of Greek and Roman mythology in college in 2 Humanities courses. When I read the bible, I might as well be reading mythology.

There is a relatively innocent explanation for this which is at least possible. Obviously much of what passes for Trump's thinking comes from RW trash sites, and some of them peddle Russian propaganda. He could have picked up on that without even realizing what it was. Once it was fixed in his head, there would be no dislodging it.

More broadly, I don't doubt that he would collaborate with a hostile power if he saw any advantage in it for him (is there any other president you could have said that about?), but I don't know if he did. We may never know for sure.

Maddow stated she spent a DAY researching it. Every RW meme, talking point, story, lie (hyperbolic or just silly), I've ever heard or read I could google it's source, and at max, it took-- maybe 5 minutes.
