The US charged a former adviser to Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign over his work for a sanctioned Russian TV network. Dimitri Simes had helped draft a Trump campaign speech that called for an “easing of tensions” with Russia. The charges came a day after the US accused Russia of widespread election interference, which the Kremlin dismissed as “nonsense.” Meanwhile, a grinning Vladimir Putin said Thursday that he favored Democratic nominee Kamala Harris over Trump, in comments many experts agreed were “high level trolling.” US intelligence believes Moscow prefers Trump in the White House. “There is only one presidential candidate that is so much in favor of Russian interests,” an expert told CBS News.

SAY THEIR NAMES!!!!!
Damn, the guy who says apeshit was the greatest ever, gets slammed again.
During his presidency, Donald Trump imposed several rounds of sanctions on Russia, primarily in response to actions related to election interference, cyber-attacks, human rights abuses, and activities in Ukraine. Here is a summary of key sanctions implemented under the Trump administration:
- Election Interference and Cyber Activities:
- In response to Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, the Trump administration imposed sanctions on several Russian individuals, entities, and intelligence officers linked to election meddling and cyber-attacks, including those involved in hacking the Democratic National Committee (DNC).
- In March 2018, sanctions were announced against the Internet Research Agency (a Russian troll farm) and 13 Russian nationals involved in election interference.
- Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA):
- Signed into law in 2017, CAATSA imposed sanctions on Russia for a variety of issues, including its actions in Ukraine and Syria, cyber-attacks, and human rights abuses. The law targeted Russian defense, intelligence, and energy sectors.
- CAATSA expanded sanctions against Russian oligarchs, government officials, and major corporations, particularly in the energy and financial sectors.
- Ukraine and Crimea:
- Following Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014, the U.S. continued to impose sanctions under Trump, targeting Russian officials, companies, and sectors involved in Crimea's occupation and destabilization efforts in Ukraine.
- Sanctions included restrictions on energy projects and trade involving Crimea, and individuals connected to Russia’s actions in Ukraine.
- Skripal Poisoning (2018):
- After the poisoning of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter in the UK, the Trump administration imposed sanctions on Russia under the Chemical and Biological Weapons Control and Warfare Elimination Act of 1991. This included restrictions on trade, such as arms sales and access to U.S. financial systems.
- Sanctions on Russian Oligarchs:
- In April 2018, the U.S. Treasury Department announced sanctions against several Russian oligarchs, senior government officials, and entities with ties to President Vladimir Putin. These individuals were linked to activities that included undermining democratic processes and involvement in corrupt practices.
- Nord Stream 2 Sanctions:
- In late 2019, Trump signed sanctions into law targeting companies involved in the construction of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, which was intended to transport natural gas from Russia to Europe. The sanctions were aimed at disrupting Russia’s energy dominance in Europe.

The Complete List Of Past GOP Presidential Ticket Members Who Say They're Voting For Trump

WASHINGTON — When Kamala Harris accepted her party’s presidential nomination at the Democratic convention last month, several former presidents, vice presidents and nominees to these posts came together in a show of public support for her bid for the White House.
Barack Obama. Bill Clinton. Hillary Clinton. Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.). President Joe Biden, who even dropped his reelection bid to unify not just Democrats, but Americans.
And on Donald Trump’s side? Which past Republican presidents, vice presidents and nominees are lining up behind him?
We didn’t see any of them speak in support of him at the GOP convention in July, but surely they’re out there.
Here, presented for the first time, is an exhaustive list of the previous Republican presidents, vice presidents and nominees to these posts who have publicly said they will be voting for Trump in November:
1. Sarah Palin.
That’s it. That’s the whole list.
The 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee reaffirmed her support for Trump in March 2023.
Former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney said he is “absolutely not” voting for Trump. Neither is former Vice President Dick Cheney, former vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan, or, presumably, former Vice President Dan Quayle, who helped prevent Trump from stealing the election in 2020. Trump’s own former vice president, Mike Pence, whom Trump nearly got killed on Jan. 6, 2021, said “it should come as no surprise” that he will not endorse Trump.
Former Republican President George W. Bush has not said if he’s voting for Trump, but in 2020 he reportedly said he would not support his reelection.
Bush didn’t have a positive response to Trump’s inaugural address in 2016, where Trump described the country as a dark wasteland of American carnage: “That was some weird shit,” Bush reportedly said.

The oh so successful Robert Reich, who has never done so much as to run a newsstand.
Unless one is foolish enough to consider NAFTA a success.
Wasn't one of the arguments for NAFTA that it would strengthen Mexico so that there would be no need for their economic migration to US. How's that going?
