This weekend, Ivanka Trump and Wendi Deng Murdoch went “sight seeing” in Dubrovnik, Croatia. Deng Murdoch, Rupert Murdoch’s ex-wife, is reportedly dating Vladimir Putin.

Wendi Deng was married to Rupert Murdoch for 14 years before they divorced in 2013 amidst rumors… Trump and Deng Murdoch have been friends for years—according to People, Deng Murdoch set up Trump with her husband Jared Kushner. Trump and Kushner apparently traveled to Croatia together without their three children.

The timing of the women’s meeting is notable because Trump’s father, the Republican nominee for president, has courted Putin’s affections and expressed his admiration for the Russian autocrat. Numerous advisers to his campaign have ties to Russia, and speculation abounds that Trump’s unreleased tax returns would reveal heavy debts owed to Russian business interests.

The New York Times reported on Sunday that secret documents recovered from an office in Ukraine showed $12.7 million in payments between 2007 and 2012 to Trump’s current campaign manager, Paul Manafort, who worked as a consultant for the deposed, pro-Russia Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych.

2. Rupert Murdoch's ex-wife ...

... is probably a quarter of his age. I guess with Vlad she is now dating younger men.

3. The tangled web of Republican-Russian intimacy grows thicker yet

Why are Republicans shitting on their former Chickenhawk leader Ronald Reagan and (along with their current Chickenhawk leader Donald Trump) turning their backs on America for the godless "EVIL EMPIRE" of Russia?

5. Entwined like worms in a bait can

7. Russia now godful. Putin goes to church, cozies with high priests. Besides, he's an Authoritarian.

Right Wing Authoritarian Followers (otherwise known as Republicans) follow Right Wing Authoritarians.

Putin is anti-gay, anti-media, anti-PC, anti-criticism. He is a "strong man".

The meme Trump's suckers are embracing these days is that Trump is a "rough man", their euphemism for "strong man" because the latter of course touches on the dictatorial side of Authoritarianism. He's rough because he's not PC, because he doesn't always express himself well and because he's willing to bend the rules to make America something vaguely resembling the foggy rose colored remembrance of a greatness.

But there is a fly in the ointment of their admiration of Putin. He has brought in a law that prevents evangelism outside of a church and only by "registered" churches.

12. The Trumps are a security risk we cannot afford. Send them to Gitmo, just in case.

Then once we have time travel technology, repatriate them to the Soviet Union.
