Vic Vega Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Donald Trump and Russia: a web that grows more tangled all the time A key figure at the Republican national convention where Donald Trump was nominated for president has strong business ties with Ukraine, the Guardian has learned The party platform, written at the convention in Cleveland last week, removed references to arming Ukraine in its fight against pro-Russia rebels, who have received material support from the Kremlin. Trump’s links to Russia are under scrutiny after a hack of Democratic national committee emails, allegedly by Russian agents. The coordinator of the Washington diplomatic corps for the Republicans in Cleveland was Frank Mermoud, a former state department official involved in business ventures in Ukraine via Cub Energy, a Black Sea-focused oil and gas company of which he is a director. He is also on the board of the US Ukraine Business Council. read more/article source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way it's a display of overwhelming political idiocy. Is it part of a "Russian connection"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerberus Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Hillary hasnt even gotten her server back yet plus do you think the government would allow her to continue that old email addy....I will answer, NO! That old email isnt even used anymore. Its all a media stir the pot story. Is Trump trying to make friends with Russia, yes. He is a business man so this doesn't surprise me. Trump has no businesses over there which he stated. Why not make friends instead of enemies? Think this has been drawn way out of proportion if you ask me. As far as Hilary, maybe she will finally go to court and be charged once the election is over. The case can still be reopened and pursued. She is still in denial at her freakin old age. What an example she sets for her grand kids. Last time I check the USA was still in major debt so how in the heck can she say free public college for a certain income when these schools can barely make it as it is plus the government does not have the money so this is just a smoke screen to get elected. How can she say ppl 55 or older can opt into medicare when its going bankrupt from our government using the money for other things? How can we go totally green and do away with oil when its the only thing America has of value anymore? We havent found anymore gold that is for sure. lol Bottom line, what will get cut in order to have those things? Seriously, think about this in a budget mind set. Remember, politicians will say anything in order to get elected. They ALL do! By the way, Trump loves drama. He creates it if need be for branding purposes. Anyone know about marketing and branding? lol Americans always have to pick the lesser evil. This is the case again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could have George Washington back from the dead running against Bozo the Clown and the media would still try and depict it as a close race, because close races bring in viewers and viewers drive ads.

flash48 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Trump has no golf, hotels or other buildings in Russia. The Guardian is a left wing wing organization. Naturally, the Guardian is sleeping with Hilary and will report any falsehood which will discredit Trump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow looks to me that there is no need to report any FALSEHOOD to discredit Trump. All adverse media needs is to repeat and maybe to emphasize his own declarations!

It sure would be nice to have an official document, signed by him under penalty of perjury, that would list his various holdings and the income derived from them. Something that every presidential candidate for the past 40 years has released that Trump steadfastly refuses to do. I wonder what that could be.
