If anyone is still buying the "Trump is a Russian asset" line, they're just fucking retarded. I had this conversation with some moron recently.  It went like this. "Ok, so let's say for argument's sake that Trump is a Russian asset.  So that also means that Putin's grand conspiracy was to do what exactly?  Give us the best economy in the history of our country?  The lowest unemployment rate ever?  Better trade deals?  If Putin is responsible for these things, he's more of a friend to our country than all previous congressmen, senators, and presidents combined ever were.  So if you really believe this is all due to Putin, then you really have no choice but to consider most politicians in this country to be traitors.  And on that point, we can definitely agree." There's not really any coming back from that :)
