That Turkey/Cyprus nexus in the administration is looking worse and worse

From Michael Flynn's skullduggery for Erdogan to Wilbur Ross's backroom deals for Russian oligarchs in Cyprus, this just keeps looking worse and worse. Maybe the paymasters judge the gig is up and they're cutting everyone loose.

I wonder whether we’ll ever find out how deep the corruption goes. It’s such a tangled web.

When in doubt split the knot in half with your sword. What galls me they are all so despicable materialistic soulless crooks devoid of humanity and belief yet prey on the gullible and weak minded. Humans are actually as ancient a species as Dinosaurs, Birds, or any creature walking the planet. We evolved probably from a rodent like creature that ate the eggs of larger more fierce creatures. On a regular basis expect human interaction revert to our origins.

Hillary was correct when she referred to the "vast right-wing conspiracy". It definitely exists and the players are vast in number and among the wealthiest on the planet.

6. Trump connected with this mob through NYC real estate deals after the Iron Curtain fell.

Trump is a fool. He had lost all the money his dad left him by the late 1980s, just in time to become a pawn of the Russian mob as they flooded money into New York real estate. They own him, and they are Putin.
