Trump’s attacks on NATO are doing Putin’s bidding

More and more, I read columns where people wonder why Trump would be so pro-Putin and anti-American allies. I really think Russia has something on Trump. How else can you explain his behavior?

Why would Trump want to destroy NATO? (Why the softball question?)

The answer is obvious: to please Putin, do his bidding, keep his political and financial help flowing in midterms and 2020, and keep the lid on all the dirt Putin has on Trump & his circle.

Next question? https://t.co/UEjk4nBU6O

While Republicans sleep: A rising tide of authoritarianism sweeps over capitals in Turkey and the Philippines, in Hungary and Poland, in far right parties in Germany, France and Austria. And President Trump cozies up to Putin and shuns our NATO allies. Wake up! Do your jobs.

This is why those who believe that Trump is just a brief aberration are overly naive. Millions of Americans now think NATO bad, Putin good; Millions think the press is the enemy of the people; that it’s ok to call to imprison your opponent; and to openly be a bigot, etc… https://t.co/29R08fqETM

Worth noting that Vladimir Putin has done, and is doing, far worse than the NATO allies who don’t spend 2% of their GDP on defense, yet Putin has never once received a tongue-lashing from Donald Trump.

This isn’t about money. It’s about Trump’s creepy allegiance to Russia.

Trump administration fails to meet the deadline to reunite children under 5 with parents

Only 38 of 102 children under age 5 were reunited with the parents by the deadline. Some didn’t even recognize their parents. This is terrible and all a result of Trump’s policy and lack of implementation planning.

Let’s look into the future. Don’t you think these children will remember what the US did to them? I won’t be surprised if some turn into anti-US terrorists.

"Why was it so easy for them to take our children but so hard to give them back?"

Larry Doby

Jackie Robinson is famous as the first African-American baseball player in the major leagues.

Do you know who was the second? Larry Doby. Unlike Robinson, Doby went right from the Negro Leagues to the major leagues. He was a great player and is in the Hall of Fame.

On July 10th, the House voted to award Doby the Congressional Gold Medal.

The late great Larry Doby is a deserving recipient of the Congressional Gold Medal. He’s a WWII veteran, civil rights pioneer & Hall of Famer who joined Jackie Robinson to break baseball’s color barrier. Let’s celebrate his legacy! pic.twitter.com/x2AzJ50cLb

Larry Doby debuted for Cleveland on this day in 1947, becoming the first Black player in the AL. Doby suffered the same indignities as Jackie Robinson, but his struggles have not received the same attention from MLB and the media.

Jim Jordan update #2

It’s just like Trump’s strategy – call the accusers liars and deny everything. Meanwhile, more people accuse Jordan of knowing what went on. Jordan attacks CNN for investigating the allegations by talking to people.

Not sure you can really call it a *surprise* in the era of Trump. But still, sort of remarkable how willing other House Republicans are to circle the wagons around Jordan when it's very, very likely that he's lying and it's a developing story where more revelations could surface. https://t.co/KOzDYIis5c
