Absolutely mind blowing to me that not only did Putin personally direct this operation, but that Republicans are perfectly ok with it.

This was without a doubt a Russian coup of the U.S.

No surprise here, Donald Trump is not a legitimate President. US's intelligence is leap years behind Russia's intelligence. US intelligence's favorite response is, "there is no evidence." "sheesh*

I wonder if Obama mingling in the Elections of foreign nations was the inspiration.


I hear Putin has direct ties to Russia too!

Mid-Terms?....When Dems voters stay home?

2.) Liberals are mad about losing the election and every major media organization in the United States, not to mentioned most other free democracies in the world, is in collusion with every US intelligence agency, including the NSA, FBI, and CIA, to take down a POTUS that they simply do not like.


It makes me sick to my stomach that option 2 is worth even a moments consideration by any American, but yeah, here we are.
Option 2, obviously.
How many VOTES did the Russians actually cast for Trump?
Answer: ZERO..... the same number of electoral votes gotten by Hillary in the states she took for granted...PA, MI, WI, etc.
