Donald Trump’s options are increasingly being foreclosed by the Russia investigation, which almost certainly will lead to criminal charges against sons Donald Jr and Eric Trump, daughter Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner Jr., leaving his resignation as the best possible exit strategy to end one of the most divisive periods in modern U.S. history....
Pussy Riot, the all-female Russian punk-rock protest group, is a thorn in Vladimir Putin’s side. But their visage of feminist rebellion against Russia’s oppressive, male-dominated oligarchy, is a sharp contrast to their counterpart, Mariia Butina, the fetching Russian spy. The contrast was brought into sharp focus this week with Butina’s arrest for acting as a clandestine intermediary between the Kremlin and American officials, most notably those with the shadowy National Rifle Association (NRA)....
Donald Trump has gotten himself in another fine mess. If there was any doubt before, it’s clearly evident now: Vladimir Putin owns him. Now the only question is why? Despite all the TV news talking heads, late-night comedians, once again, seemed to put their fingers on the problem. “Why so bad?” Stephen Colbert asked. “Well, he was asked about Russian meddling about our election and whether he believed all our intelligence people or Putin,” he said....
Donald Trump’s cruel treatment of children and general “dickishness” was enough to draw Jon Stewart, the former king of late-night comedy, from his self-imposed exile last night to weigh in on the administration’s incredible spiral downward. But Stewart was far from alone. Late-night comics Trevor Noah, Seth Myers and Stephen Colbert applied a full-court press on the president....
Donald Trump’s lawyer and and widely heralded “fixer,” Michael Cohen, wasted no time trying to cash in on his close ties to the President, said John Oliver in a scathing take-down on his HBO show “Last Week Tonight.” Cohen lined up big-paying clients who funneled money to the same shell company used to pay porn star Stormy Daniels to shut up about her affair with Trump....
Anna Chapman, anything but a Red Sparrow when her bumbling spy ring was busted in 2010, has resurfaced in the middle of international intrigue over the attempted London murder of Russian turncoat Sergei Skripal. The connection is more than coincidental. In 2010, the fetching redhead was busted along with nine other Russians in what turned out to be a spy ring nested in New Jersey. She eventually was repatriated to Russia in a swap for four Western agents. Skripal was one of them....

Just as “Red Sparrow,” a movie about Russian femme fatale spies, is about to hit the big screen, along comes Nastya “Little Fish” Rybka, claiming to have a real life story to tell about Russian intrigue involving the Kremlin and… you guessed it, Donald Trump. WTF? They say life often imitates art, or sometimes it’s the other way around, but Rybka, real name Anastasia Vashukevich, has an undisputed connection to a Russian oligarch, closely tied to Putin — and indirectly to Trump....
Pussy Riot, the radical Russian punk band, goes on a dystopian ride into the bowls of a Putin-style police state to show what the future could be in Trump-Putin world. Nadya Tolokonnikova, a founder of the group spent time in a Russian prison for “hooliganism for protesting the Putin regime.”...
Stephen Colbert is glad to be back in the U.S. of A., after traveling to Russia. He got a firsthand taste of what it’s like living a police state, where Big Papa Putin has eyes everywhere. “I don’t know if you knew this, but I was in Russia last week,” he told the audience. “Ah…you know who did know I was in Russia? Russian intelligence. Hardcore fans, evidently… followed me everywhere,” he said. ...
Steve Colbert stirred up a hornet’s nest of Donald Trump supporters. His Monday monologue included some “biting” comments about the president that led to calls for his ouster. He answered the #FireColbert complainers last night with a simple sentence: “I’m still the host!” Colbert was reacting to Trump’s dismissive behavior toward CBS anchor John Dickerson....
John Oliver hilariously exposed Vladimir Putin’s dirty little secrets and questioned what Donald Trump hopes to get out of being “friends” on his HBO show “Last Week Tonight.” He seemed to ignite a fire under Trump trolls. Or, were they really Russians? “It’s a bit weird that you’ve been objectively nicer to Vladimir Putin than you have to Meryl Streep,” Oliver said....

Donald Trump is determined to stonewall on releasing his tax returns to the bitter end of his vitriolic campaign keeping voters in the dark on the extent of his connections to Vladimir Putin and Russian financiers. He may owe them tens of millions of dollars through his various companies. But Trump is apparently trying to skate over his tax return controversy and Russian connection as he’s done numerous times before....
Donald Trump just got schooled on his twin obsessions–Putin and Pussy–in a new video by Russia’s version of nasty women, the feminist, all-girl band Pussy Riot. The song hits home, the place where Trump and everyone else ultimately comes from… the vagina.
