who is the uglier American, Ryan Lochte or Paul Manafort

hhhmmmmmmm.... hard choice. One is an overgrown, self-entitled 33 yr old living like a frat boy jerk.


and.........


The Other is a Putin-backed lobbyist who:

- organized anti-NATO rallies that encouraged Putin to invade the Ukraine

- illegally funneled millions of Russian oligarch dollars to US lobbyists

- taking $12 million in under-the-table payments from Putin and Putin backed organizations

- took another $7 million in cash payments earlier

- throw in the off-shore tax havens used to hide the money and distribute it to heaven-knows which GOP campaigns

- make the sole Trump effort for the GOP RNC national platform an entry that softens the US stance to the despotic Putin and his Crimean invasion

- persuaded the weak-willed Trump to talk publicly about breaking America's long term commitment to NATO

- told the weak-willed Trump it was okay to invite Putin to interfere with American elections

- before teaming up with Putin, worked for the dictatorship of Ferdinand Marcos


Yes, tough call. Uglier? Probably the frat boy.

Most Dangerous? Paul Manafort and his Russian supported cronies on the Trump team, now spreading out through the GOP by virtue of the GOP's support of the weak-willed Trump's leadership of the GOP.


But the weak-willed Trump loves him some Putin! Web Link


from the conservative National Review: Web Link

US presidential hopeful Donald Trump has said it is a “great honour” to receive a compliment from Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The property tycoon hailed Mr. Putin as a man “highly respected within his own country and beyond”.

… he said, as plain as day, that he has “always felt fine about Putin”; he called him “strong” and a “powerful leader”; and he suggested that he should be respected for his “popularity within his country.”

A new candidate: Ken Starr was just kicked out of Baylor University because of a sex assault scandal. Just a coincidence that this happened on Bill Clinton's birthday?
