Saw this late last night. Talk about the foxes guarding the hen house. And in other news:

Adviser contradicts Trump: Russians hacked the US - CNNPolitics.com

Yet Trump still rejects and disses on the US intelligent community as to not upset his bromance with Putin.

He has every reason to honestly. At least if you are looking at the actual facts.

This isn't about the election (although I do believe that the emails and the FBI's handling of the situation certainly cost Clinton some votes).



If Reagan was alive he'd be punching Trump in the mouth.

I'm very pleased there is still public outcry and that can still affect what is happening. It's a small glimmer of hope. I really thought republicans would start doing whatever they wanted, given that there has been this attitude of "we don't really want this stuff to happen, but it is, so oh well". Compare this to bipartisan outrage at things like the Watergate scandal - our blase reaction and inept path forward to recent issues (ie Russia cyberwarfare) that have arguably been worse than Watergate has been really disheartening. Clearly, Republicans are testing the waters of what they can get away with - we will lose a lot, but at least people are still paying attention.

Trump has nothing to worry about, he just has to take the blame, and I don't think he gives a fuck about personal criticism. Just another scapegoat.

I'm not so sure about that. Of course a large portion of the 50% who live off of the other 50% are almost guaranteed to vote for immoral leftist policies.

And if anyone has had a branding issue (until Trump) it's been Republicans. Dems have always painted themselves as the party of the people, a kind of Robin' Hood.

Who the **** are you? And why do you subscribe to this pathetic tag line? I use to think you were cool.

Tired of the leftists are gods and righties are evil narrative, Goofle scoured the finest political minds of YouTube and found himself entirely on the other side and exactly as uninformed as before.

You guys aren't hard to annoy. Rather depressing.
