Who says Trump isn't a Russian asset ?
BREAKING: ICE is sending Russian dissidents back to Russia. When the dissidents arrived in Russia, the Russian authorities were given documents relating to their asylum applications in the US which under US law are confidential. This seems to be part of a secret agreement between Trump and Putin.
‘I escaped a Russian prison — only to end up in an American jail’
Dozens of Russian dissidents have been expelled from the US and forcibly returned to Russia with the co-operation of immigration authorities

I really do hate the usage of the word "stock" to describe the number of fish/whales etc in the sea. It makes it sound as though they just sit on a supermarket shelf until we decide we want them. They are essential & beautiful parts of an ecosystem, not spare parts that need a human to have purpose!
