It's karma coming back to bite us in the butt. Only this time it got us Trump.
So you are defending a hostile foreign government attacking the United States? Fascinating.

1. Why should I move if I'm not the one initiating force?

2. Why does Uncle Sam have a hard-on for killing innocents? Had I moved to Somalia like was suggested to me over the last few years I could have found myself killed by a drone.

Remember folks, you can reduce your statist footprint but never eliminate it. They can and will find you if it is deemed that your interests conflict with its interests.

Oh, he not know that Somalia is a failed socialist state. Poor him.

I'm not defending anything. Although if it served to destroy the State, I'd be all for it. Too bad it just got us Orange Obama.

And yet Comey is now treated as a pariah by a lot of republicans. No loyalty whatsoever.

I still don't want Russian oligarchs involved in our elections and I damn sure don't want a Kremlin stooge in the WH.
So much for "America First" and "Make America Great Again".

You oughta know better than that, Gamecock! My friends and I used to love going to 5 Points back when SC served their booze in mini-bottles. GA Tech boy here, born and raised in the ATL.

Just a word of advice--just because I'm a libertarian and disagree with the narrative doesn't mean I'm a Russian troll.

People who don't want to be misidentified as Russian trolls should probably quit promoting Russian interests over the interests of America. Just sayin'...

And did all the European countries whose elections Russia has interfered with have an intelligence organization that interfered with Russian elections? Did France deserve it? Britain? Netherlands? Germany?

Please stop making excuses for a dictator that murders or imprisons people who oppose him.

Ex-KGB Chief Putin is not a nice guy. He is a bad man--a very bad man. He hates our freedoms--it is offensive to him.

And he's got something on Trump.
