They cannot believe that the British people would withstand the pro Brexit bombardment (even with Obama's help).

Now there is the promotion of this whacky psychography as an explanation.
WTF are you talking about? The Cambridge Analytica story is the work of Britain's Channel 4 and other corroborating media. BBC is practically ignoring it up to now.

You are correct. My last sentence did not make it clear that I was not referring to the BBC in the promotion of this psychobabble.

Psychobabble? Here's some psychobabble for you: you're a great one for trying to make something into nothing by hanging a label on it!

Gawd, we've got the guys admitting to 'sending girls' and other bad actions. Seems to have gone well beyond the 'babble' level.

A fun read and not to be taken seriously since this is hypothetical.

The Opening Argument in the Trial of Donald J. Trump

Quote:
May it please the court. Ladies and gentlemen: This is a simple case about a plot hatched during the 2016 presidential election. The story begins with close business contacts between the Defendant, Donald John Trump, and Russian oligarchs, including some who obtained and distributed illegally hacked emails belonging to the Democratic Party in order to help Trump win. It continues with Trump and his associates—after receiving stolen goods—promising a major favor to the Russians in return for their criminal activity. And it ends with the Defendant Trump trying to cover up his crimes. Actually, the true end of the story is in your hands—when justice and accountability are restored.

Sen McCain: "an American president does not lead the free world by congratulating dictators on winning sham elections."

The dotard congratulated the dictator Putin for “winning” his sham election.

Donald Trump Jr. was reportedly cheating on his pregnant wife with an 'Apprentice' contestant

Like father, like son.

President Trump did not follow specific warnings from his national security advisers when he congratulated Russian President Vladimir Putin Tuesday on his reelection, including a section in his briefing materials in all-capital letters stating “DO NOT CONGRATULATE,” according to officials familiar with the call.

It is a tell. Demonstrates his true admiration for Putin.

^^ More like he is beholden to Putin, for what we don't know yet.
No reason for congratulations a week after imposing sanctions.
In a real world, I would expect Putin to hang up on Trump.

There is a reason and it has nothing to do with being beholden to Putin and all about being Donald Trump.
