People said there was a pee tape--unlikely. Reports have said there's a financial motive--possible. But the most likely explanation for the Trump-Putin connection is that psychopathic scum recognizes psychopathic scum. They are two turds in a toilet bowl.
Wow — listen to these new comments from Trump. Thanking Putin, trashing Zelenskyy, characterizing Russia as eager for peace and Ukraine as intransigent. The mask is totally off.
Trump says that like it's hypothetical.

San Diego was threatened; LA was threatened; but the real catastrophe is coming for Phoenix.
Thanks to all who showed up at Strathcona County Library in Sherwood Park, Alberta last night for a chat about "Cheapskate in Lotusland." Someone who obviously read the book brought a gift!
This is a bit of a quandary. Those who hate or fear AI are now pretty much obligated to say "AI" in every sentence from now on.
Trump isn't just demanding that everyone call AI "super intelligence." He just tweeted that anyone who still uses the term artificial intelligence is "THE ENEMY."
This doesn't really surprise me, since when Trump first declared that he was creating his amazing, incredible new phrase, he said, "Let's see how much power I have." So it's just another of his megalomaniacal handshake contests.
Trump: "The White House considers anyone that uses the term, 'Artificial Intelligence,' as opposed to the highly accepted new and more accurate term, 'Super Intelligence,' THE ENEMY! President DONALD J. TRUMP"
Well, it has been pretty grim around here since they cancelled "The Beachcombers." globalnews.ca/news/1209259...
