WASHINGTONPresident Donald Trumps eldest son was likely paid at least $50,000 for an appearance late last year before a French think tank whose founder and wife are allies of the Russian government in efforts to end the war in Syria.

Donald Trump Jr. addressed a dinner on Oct. 11 at the Ritz Hotel in Paris, hosted by the Center of Political and Foreign Affairs. Its president, Fabien Baussart, and his Syrian-born wife, Randa Kassis, have cooperated with Russia in its drive to end the Syrian civil war, according to U.S., European and Arab officials. In December, Mr. Baussart formally nominated Russian President Vladimir Putin for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Mrs. Kassis is a leader of a political faction endorsed by Russia in negotiations to end the war in Syria. The couple said they dont represent Russia and are solely focused on ending the Syrian conflict.

But Hillary spoke to banks.

There are way too many individual cases of people close to Trump being connected to people to Russia.

[shira]

Wouldn't it be great if my son got paid $50k?
Believe me.

 

[Byakuya769]

Media is going all in on Russia. Any tie, they're reporting.

 

[gutter_trash]

Don Jr. and Eric don't seem to be the sharpest of the bunch,

they flapped their mouthes exposing themselves too many times

 

[clockworkinyou]

Keep this shit coming. Fuck that whole family.

 

[Akuun]

Isn't this the same moron who took a phone pic of his vote for Trump?

What a dipshit.

 

[PandaPandaPanda]

Keep this shit coming. Fuck that whole family.

I actually feel kind of sad for the youngest son since this shit is going to follow him for the rest of his life. But then again, he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth so I don't feel too bad.

Isn't any kind of photography in the voting booth prohibited?

If he keeps influencing in a bunch of pro-Putin world leaders into office, he solved world peace. Hence, the Peace Prize!

I'm sure some of it is a coincidence but at this point it seems a significant number of folks in Trump's circle have some financial or close relationship to Russia, coupled with Russia's direct interference in the elections and the fact that Trump speaks so highly of Russia and Putin, you had to wonder if it is no longer a coincidence.

He retweets white supremacists and compared Syrian refugees to poison Skittles. I wouldn't feel too bad for Asshole Jr.
(Never mind, thought you were talking about Jr.)

Not if you're rich and white.

 

[Akuun]

I'm not American, but probably.

Not like anyone in Trump's family seems to care about what laws they break, though.

 

[Boney]

wat

Murder rates in the country plummeted.

Disappearances are surprisingly high for some reason.

*i have no idea about the actual murder rates*

 

[Skinny Pete]

Keep this shit coming. Fuck that whole family.

Yes. Open up your hearts and let the hate out media!!

 

[teiresias]

But at least it wasn't banks, right Bernie?

 

[Saganator]

edit:
whoops ignore me

 

[kevin1025]

so Many P's

That's why he's king of the P(ee) tape.

 

[Horns]

Hopefully in the future he and his father can have nearby jail cells.

 

[Extra Sauce]

All this smoke has got to be bad for our lungs.

I know you corrected yourself but I probably should have been clear. I think Banon Trumpis is ~9-10 years old (I don't care enough about the family to google search to find out.)

 

[hydrophilic attack]

he's the puppet

 

[shiba5]

Yeah, he's probably gonna catch some shit (especially if the orange one gets impeached), but he's rich and will be ok.

 

[Wag]

Isn't this the same moron who took a phone pic of his vote for Trump?

What a dipshit.

You mean this?

 

[StoOgE]

Oh for fucks sake. Weeks before the election this shitbag was giving a paid speech to a group who views Russias war crimes in Syria as deserving of a Nobel Peace Prize.

And we got ZERO coverage of it? But tons and tons about the stupid Comey letter.

The meida is responsible for this asshat being president, because they fell for every fucking distraction that exists.

BUT HER EMAILS

With so much smoke coming out of this mess, either this is the world's largest barbecue, or there's a big fire.

Death of the Liberal class extensively covers the collapse of the media starting with the Committee for Public Information and the propaganda machine to join the war.

 

[Palette Swap]

I live in a country that will go through one of the most important elections of the world in two months, and it's absolutely disheartening how otherwise sensible people handwave as overblown or debatable Russia's sustained efforts against western democracies.
So yeah, if anything, media should keep hammering on this shit until the facts finally sink in.

Death of the Liberal class extensively covers the collapse of the media starting with the Committee for Public Information and the propaganda machine to join the war.

I don't know about the book, but there's some irony to the fact its author is a host on RT.

We knew he went to this dinner back in November, but we only now are finding out he may have given a paid speech
