  1. You are right about the media. If it bleeds it leads and the Trump Train wreck has been a bloody mess from waaaay before he started running for President. The poor bastards just can't help themselves because they know that enough of their audience loves a dumpster fire and Don's been burning bright for years! But that's the problem - his ties to Russia go just as far back. Instead of doing the descent thing and take a final swan-dive from the top of one of his failed Casino's, old Bankrupt Donny went abroad to rebuild his finances and got himself mixed up with the wrong people. Plus Hillary was a shit candidate, plus a number of other factors - but elements of the Russian government did play a role. The correct answer to the question of what factors led up to the Electoral College victory of Donald J Trump is D. All of the above

  3. What's intellectually insulting is you're assertion the RussianS that Trump owes gobs of money to are not linked to Putin and thus the RussiaN government. You aren't trying to deny that elements of the Russian government or their agents interfered in the 2016 election by trying to influence and misinform people on various social media platforms along with a variety of other more direct avenues of attack are you? That would be intellectually insulting to the point of leading me to wonder why you would post such a comment in the first place.

  4. GamingByteTv - Obliged, brother! Hillary definitely has more knowledge than Don and would have been better in the role. Sadly, it told me everything I needed to know that she didn't make Bernie her running mate - sort of a last nail in the coffin kind of thing for me. Obviously, he would have stolen the stage from her and she couldn't be the second fiddle if she was trying for the first chair, but I thought the perfect argument would be that due to your very point of all her time on the world stage as Secretary of State, a former FLOTUS, senator, etc., she would make the better president and she could just spend the next four years travelling abroad on Air Force One trying to avoid being impeached by the Republican Congress that would have been screaming for her head on a pike from day one. Plus there was that whole first-woman-president thing going on which we could have just gotten rid of. But Bernie could have proceeded to use the power of the Executive branch to continue the Obama policies and work on new policies and legislation that would help bring much needed help to millions of people in need - kind of like an anti-Dick Cheney. But noooooooo, Hill and the Establishment went with Kane and we got Donald fucking Trump. My poor, stupid, easily misled countrymen (and women) - this is why we can't have anything nice any more.
