He's been programmed by his handlers to run for POTUS and say outrageous "Idiocracy" things to garner free media attention!

.We really need some direct evidence. This is all very circumstantial, although it certainly doesn't look good. But if we go out there and connect these dots, it's no better than what those redneck AM-radio conspiracy theorists try to pull all the time.

6. Not surprised, since Putin stooge Alex Jonestown is practically a Trumpy Dumpy groupie.

Yeah, that so-called anti-NWO dipshit is calling a billionaire an outsider. What bullshit!

7. Apparently, Trump owes hundreds of millions of dollars to Russian oligarchs.

Due to bankruptcies and debts, Trump has trouble getting loans from most banks.

His tax returns, the disclosure of which would finish his candidacy, might contain evidence of his Russian dealings.

Can any American with a working brain really want a president who is indebted to the Russians?

This story would get bigger and bigger, except for the fact that the American entertainment news media will suppress this story to keep Trump in the race.

Foreign press (not rt.com) may lead the way in investigating this mess.

the story about the dishonesty that goes on in our own electoral system at the DNC.
Hopefully they have provided some disinfectant that will help clean house in that organization.

12. What does Russian oligarchs lending money to the GOP candidate have to do with the DNC??

And if you're talking about those (oooooh) EMAILS, maybe you might want to learn that DNC emails were a) doctored and b) supplemented.


The metadata show that the Russian operators apparently edited some documents, and in some cases created new documents after the intruders were already expunged from the DNC network on June 11. A file called donors.xls, for instance, was created more than a day after the story came out, on June 15, most likely by copy-pasting an existing list into a clean document.

The eagerness to convict before trial is absurd. Particularly when we aren't the racist, xenophobic Nazis in this contest.

I have a feeling that part of the reason that Sanders gave such a full-throated and heartfelt endorsement of Clinton at the convention is that he got a National Security brief, and he knows something that we don't yet know.

The Russians deserve no "credit." They keep this shit up, and they'll move from the "adversary" to "enemy" columns on their own damn power. Putin isn't hacking and shit-stirring to make things better--he's doing it to acquire and consolidate power. He wants his boot on our necks. I don't think that's a plan, quite simply, and I'm not having any.
