I'm obviously a russian bot

@Deleted User It's time to clean the floors.

So anyways, I'd like to provide a list of reasons why Trump is treating Putin this way

1. It weakens his legitimacy by accepting that Russian meddling won his election
2. Being critical of, or hateful of dictators have never yielded positive results
3. The west has burnt almost all easy avenues for punishing Russia. Any further will involve significant self harm to the western nations. So any verbal accusations would carry no weight.
4. There isn't actually any reasonable way to stop the meddling that occured, i.e. facebook posts, twitter bots, etc without sacrificing significant amounts of public freedoms, so the only way to minimize it is to try to convince Russia to stop doing it. Trying to be on good terms with Russia is an approach we have never truly tried before.
5. It generates large volumes of publicity. For Trump, it appears all publicity is good publicty to varying degrees.

These are a few of my thoughts

Found this on Twitter:

Twelve theories, some more plausible than others, on why Trump does not accept Intelligence Community verdict on Russian election interference:
1) He really doesn't believe it.
2) He can't admit anything that casts doubt on his victory.
3) He thinks it's an Obama plot.
4) He doesn't want to give even an inch to his adversaries.
5) He really wants to improve relations with Russia.
6) He believes Sen. Charles "Six ways from Sunday" Schumer, suspects elements of IC are out to get him.
7) He really did collude.
8) He's been a Russian asset since the 1980s.
9) Putin has something on him.
10) He's just messing with the political class.
11) He enjoys media freakout.
12) He was paying attention during the Iraq War.

#4 is quite evident from past actions. He will only give an inch if he can take a yard in return

Still the centrist baybee

When he admitted Obama's birth location, he summoned all the media to broadcast him

and spend 1 hr promoting himself on camera, on CNN, ABC, etc

And in the last 2 minutes, he said oh ya, Obama was American

The media was furious

#5, #11 are also plausible

this is one of the reasons why I don't buy into the idea that he is an idiot

@Deleted User whore

He plays his strategic assets far too well

never giving them out for free

@Deleted User cunt

are classical liberals right wing?

They are now

I tend not to jump to such a conclusion

just because dave rubin says so I don't want to automatically believe it

I, agah-ree...with that

this is mine

a dirty neolib

It's been a while since I took the 8 values test

but I did use spekr

and I got liberal

If you're a 'classical liberal' still after seeing how corrupt republics can get with large populations, and haven't gone 'Libertarian', you're not paying attention.

As if Libertarianism is perfect

It's not about 'perfect'

I keep thinking about how very separate the cultures are from one state or region to another
