Supreme court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has died. — MSC
the weak, incompetent, arrogant Left.
So in your view(s), Trump may be viewed essentially as without 'masters,' leverage, or otherwise outside influences and any other supposition would lead to a conspiracy nut? — Kevin
Are you describing the left here or humanity in general? I see it as the latter but I hesitate to call any politician human. — MSC
Near as I can tell, Trump would have to be his own kind of Superman to be screwing with and screwing up as many things as the news is reporting that his administration is screwing up. Granted in some cases and areas the GOP has been practicing for years, but I feel the presence of master hands. But who? The only reasonable explanation that occurs to me is that he gets advice and suggestion from Russia. Not orders, because probably that wouldn't work. But suggestions the substance of which he follows. And of course this implies that he is not alone.
Does anyone have an alternative explanation that makes more sense? Since coming into office he has been working to corrupt, ruin, spoil, incapacitate every federal agency beyond ordinary rhyme or reason. And who but an implacable enemy would want that? — tim wood
This shit is becoming qanon for liberals. — Maw

This isn't what was originally stated. What was originally stated and implied was that "Russia" was pulling Trump's strings. Putin isn't some all powerful puppet master. This is just an unhinged liberal explanans for Trump's election, the actions of his administration, and the overall disaster that has been the last 4 years. — Maw

I just think your supposition that individuals aren't "all powerful" and that, this being the case, the question of their influences makes the questioners akin to Qanon - is at odds with itself — Kevin
