LOL... you are not that naïve, are you? believing a "not verified" accusation which started on a troll message board as true?? Since I have seen so many posters speak of tin foil hats that Trump supporters wear, I will gladly hand you mine. I am sure it will fit, enjoy.

When one decides everything is a conspiracy it can go down many roads.
Indeed.

It helps Obama that he has been transparent about his financial dealings and that none of it involved backing from Russian financiers.

They were having a similar laugh when the Clinton emails were released but that didn't change the minds of those who wanted to believe.

So, now you're believing Russia has the truth. Wasn't it just a few weeks ago people were harping on the right for believing Russia didn't do the hacking.

Actually, no one cared too much about the guy offed by who knows who, that handed over those emails to Assange.


It was the content of those emails, that you and others so easily ignored that we found interesting.

The "news" is that the story originated on 4chan.

We see evidence of same right here on this board every single day.

They really don't care as long as their guy is in power and their "enemies" get theirs.
Just look at the glee expressed in the thread about Obama administration employees unable to find work now.

Very scary indeed.

To be fair, even the troll message board posters are asking for actual proof that it started there.

Please.
And yet, come next week he'll be sworn in (and at by the rabid left ). Too bad, no amount of made up crap YOU cheer about and decry as "truth" has stuck but the absolute truth of Wikileaks, the rabid left decried as "false" did.
The majority of America (not just those people in CA/NYC) are smarter than you think or hoped hence who's being given the keys to the White House next week.

We'll see if they made the right choice or not in time. Deal with it or pop more Zanax, either way it's over.

Regardless of who trolled who, this genie is out of the bottle.

There will, of course, be lawsuits and twitter feuds. It's Trump we're talking about after all.

Which will bring this matter to the attention of those who were paying no attention until then.

Most will assume the story is true and Trump is trying to bully his way out of it.

It's his M.O.
