I did.

His response was that he thought in America property rights were the most important thing a person could have with regards to liberty, and that liberty is ALWAYS more important than "national security."

He would be wrong. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness doesn't apply to corporations in America.

Trump was a vocal supporter of the birther movement, consistently attempting to discredit the first black president.

The Kremlin are not our friends, neither are the racists who consume and regurgitate their propaganda.

USA Today: We read every one of the 3,517 Russian Facebook Ads
Hillary and Obama both voted to fund the wall and it was Hillary supporters that first started the birther stuff. Every country is in the end out for their own best interests.

Russia was indeed looking out for our own best interests though when they warned us that getting involved in Syria would be a mistake.

We were taught in Russian state school that, since corporations are made up of groups of individuals who voluntarily and freely associate, their right to own their property still applies no matter what the government says. Something about Natural Law.

Uh, do you really not know election laws and what they say about foreign powers becoming involved?

Well, in that case righties and trumpies are even more ignorant than I imagined. How the heck would they buy in - by the tens of millions - to a rumor started by Hillary?

What if she would have started a rumor that the Lord talked to her and told Righties to vote for her? Would you also spread that?

Crazy talk. Really.

Not being a righty or Trump supporter, I can not answer for them. Also, I did not say it was started by Hillary. I said it was started by Hillary supporters and it was.
