It is stunningly irresponsible for the President of the United States to spread rumors like this

I can hardly wait until checks and balances really check Trump.

But he finally admitted that Russia stole the election... in a way, this tweet was his acknowledgment of the illegitimacy of his presidency.

Replying to @atrupar

“A lot of people are saying...”
“Rumor has it...”
All such tropes from @realDonaldTrump are exclusively references to his random thoughts while tweeting during executive time- which is a euphemism for time on the shitter.

Every one of them, Republican as well as Democrat, as far as I know. The stench of racism, fascism, and white supremacy is enough to repel any thinking person. Big name 'old fashioned' Republicans are voting for Democrats. I never thought I'd see that it my lifetime. That's how repulsive Trump is to thinking Americans.

The Indiana Democratic Party has mailers sent out in favor of the Libertarian candidate though. It says it right on the mailer who paid for it.

That was my thought. US citizens are allowed to promote whatever candidates they want.

Even if there were a kernel of fact here, the premise is still wrong.

I never believe anyone one that says that. Geez.

How we ended up with a “president” that uses this phrase ever, let alone how MUCH he uses it, is mind boggling and is like being in the twilight zone.
He outta be “rode out on a rail”.
Whenever I happen to see tRump in a pic I think of the following clip.
Is you is?
Or is you ain’t?

Coming right out and saying Russia stole it....

Thank goodness he’s not racist/narcissistic/venal/corrupt AND smart. It’s bad enough as it is, but can you imagine if he were actually clever?
