Clearly our government is being taken over by Putin. I really can’t understand why we even begin to tolerate a president and his billionaire right wing staff that seems to be in bed with the Russians and spend all of their time trying to minimize and cover up what has been done.

So, part of the reason “active measures” works, and it does today in terms of [the] ‘Trump Tower being wiretapped’ [lie], is because they parrot the same line.
