[liberal N proud]

1. The fact that trump will become President is the end of the USA

We will become a surrogate state to Russia.

How is your Russian?

[tanyev]

[Angry Dragon]

57. There's ol trump lookin the part

[Beartracks]

58. A Russian mob guy, or...

... a war-criminal puppet president in eastern Europe.

================

[Cha]

59. Yeah, one of the worst.. if not the worst.

[NBachers]

73. I cant wait to see him holding that stupid hat up with his cuffed hands, hiding while he perp walks.

[Cha]

74. Oh I hope so!

[barbtries]

10. lol

[Angry Dragon]

39. should make a list and let others add to it

[MoonRiver]

20. old, mean and ugly, bwahahahaha!

[TheBlackAdder]

28. Double chin my ass! He's got himself a set of Nixon Jowls!

[PatSeg]

50. That is now my new favorite

pic of him! Oh, I'll bet he is really pissed now, more because of the photo than the article, as that is more than 140 characters.

[Ms. Toad]

52. That was my first reaction, as well. n/t

[meow2u3]

3. K&R for the truth!

[Loge23]

5. WAKE UP AMERICA!

A coup has occurred. I repeat, a coup has usurped our government.
Has anyone else noticed that the traitor party had basically stopped acknowledging the current President?

[2naSalit]

23. Yes, and they are blatantly doing it too.

Respect is yet another casualty here.

[democratisphere]

47. What would you expect from a bunch of devout racists.

Specially when Obama has so much true good and integrity.

[Lulu KC]

55. Yes, I have and why is this not a bigger thing? n/t

[wryter2000]

6. Just look at that front page

[riversedge]

51. Love that it is above the fold!!

[SayItLoud]

7. Asterix president 45*

I would hope that a trend happens and it gets to tRUMP 45*

president tRUMP 45*

Elected with help of Russia



The ASS terix president.

#tRUMP45*

[DallasNE]

24. Slight Addition

Elected with help of Russia, FBI Director using fake news.

[SayItLoud]

35. ASS terix President tRUMP45*

Nixon
tRUMP

[BSdetect]

8. When will there be a tipping point for the GOP?

Never it would seem.

Ask yourself what would be there response had HRC colluded with Putin?

These sleazebags will destroy us all.

[barbtries]

11. yep.

there is no bar too low for them to scuttle under.

[Crunchy Frog]

53. It will happen eventually, but maybe not in my lifetime.

If HRC had done this, she likely would be headed for prison.

[Grins]

12. "Donald John Trump is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being

"Donald John Trump is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life."*

I wonder if he plays solitaire?


* You gotta' be of a certain age to get that.

[SidDithers]

26. ...

[KittyWampus]

42. His brain has not only been washed, as they say... It has been dry cleaned.

[dixiegrrrrl]

60. Queen of Diamonds, was it???? n/t

[BSdetect]

13. K&R

[JHan]

14. #NoPuppet!!

[UTUSN]

15. But what about *BENGHAZI*?!1 n/t

[Botany]

16. And Trump worked with the Russians too. It is called Treason.

"The US intelligence community conclusion that Moscow had mounted the cyber-attack against the
United States as part of an operation to help elect Trump president."

[JCanete]

37. If there is proof of that, that is treason. Is there? Otherwise, we're wasting our breath with this.

Sure, we can embarrass Trump and make his Presidency seem less legitimate, but unless we can prove he collaborated, this is what we're getting, and Russian hacking and fake news wasn't the biggest cause of his election...it was a woefully uninformed electorate at the hands of our own media.

[Botany]

40. We have proof in Trump's own words

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12512675362

[JCanete]

41. That's not enough. I agree it was embarrassing, but nobody in our party was willing to flat out call

it Treason then, so post election, I doubt that's going to get any traction.

[Botany]

44. Please!

[JCanete]

45. Clearly I am, because I have no idea what you're trying to say.

I'm not trying to WIN an argument here, I'm stating things as I see them, so if you aren't going to enlighten me as to why I'm wrong, why are you engaging with me at all?

[Botany]

46. "because I have no idea what you're trying to say."

It was a coup and Trump committed treason.

The link above has Trump in his own words and voice talking about the
hack of the DNC in July of 2016 and he called for the hacking of HRC's
computers and her work as Sec. of State. Now how did Trump know
about the Russian hack of the DNC unless "they" told him.

[JCanete]

48. Is that the timing? I feel like we already knew the Russians were hacking by then, because I don't

remember the hacking comment being shocking to me, at least not due to the hacking...being an unprecedented stupid by a totally unqualified Presidential candidate is another story.

If he did call it before it was news that is interesting, and probably worthy of investigation, but again, unless we have something concrete, we are not going to be able to prove Treason.

I thank you though, for your elaboration, and I'll look into that.

[Control-Z]

62. Are you a lawyer?

What kind of lawyer are you? Constitutional?

[Crunchy Frog]

54. It's all about competing narratives, and this is a perfectly valid one.

He's not being tried in a court of law, but there's more than enough evidence to convict him in the court of public opinion.

[uponit7771]

67. His invitation & timing of the invitation relative to the hacking would put him in court no doubt

[uponit7771]

66. McPootin INVITED them to hack DNC resources on LIVE TV !! How much fuckin proof is needed?!?!

[HopeAgain]

17. No Trump Tweets yet???

He must have been tied to his bed...

[Botany]

30. Here you go .... corned rat Trump Tweets

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10028441746

[Orrex]

18. But "Reason" magazine sez there's no evidence, so it's all good.

k/r

[SidDithers]

27. Greenwald too!...nt

Sid

[KittyWampus]

43. I'm waiting for Snowden to weigh in.

[dionysus]

68. Vaht? Vas you shaying shumthing about Douchewald... to meeeee?

[notKeith]

19. Watch Trump double down

Unless there is some residual humanity floating around in Trump's thick infantile narcissistic skull, we can expect him to double down on his anti-intelligence tweets. And here's the thing - none of this would have been possible if we had a real news media, a valid "fourth estate" -- a press that treated news as news, and infotainment as non-news.
You know, not spend infinite amounts of time on EMAIL, and disregard Trump's ... well, everything.
But those tuned into Fox News have had decades of misinformation; it's what they "know".
So to me the bottom line is that I will forever condemn Ronald Reagan for his part in the destruction of the Fairness Doctrine, without which the right-wing fake news echo chamber couldn't exist.

[keithbvadu2]

21. Trump and his bff Putin

"... retired Marine Corps Gen. James N. Mattis said in May 2015 that among world threats “in the near term, I think the most dangerous might be Russia.”

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/dec/6/donald-trump-james-mattis-differ-on-vladimir-putin/

---------------

Trump supporters celebrate their victory.

"It turns out that United Russia won the elections in America," Viktor Nazarov, the governor of Omsk, Russia, declared in a radio interview.

--------------------------

Our intel agencies are speaking out against the Donald's Russian pals so he
plans to "pare" them back.

(It's not the Russians he wants to pare back.)

[keithbvadu2]

22. Trump's intel briefings

[2naSalit]

25. And he will very likely be

"kennedyed" by the end of the year which will be cause for another Iraql-like catastrophuck.

[MFM008]

56. Ive thought about that

especially in relation to the CIA, SS or FBI.

[Achilleaze]

29. Powerful truth

Republicans need to prove NOW whether they are for the USA
or for Russia's puppet.

[Generic Brad]

33. They have already proven where they stand

They want an authoritarian driven government with no opposition. Some want to use it to screw all non-whites. Some want to use it to establish a theocracy. Some want to use it so they can have the power and means to get even with people they don't like. They are in hog heaven.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

31. Michael D. Shear and David F. Sanger at Twitter:

@shearm

@SangerNYT

[rocktivity]

32. Well duh

Surely you don't think that Trump was smart enough to come with it. And besides, they've been business buddies for a while...

[Binkie The Clown]

34. It also made the front page of our Eugene, OR paper this morning. n/t

[Scurrilous]

36. K & R

[pbmus]

49. The reason we have been sold out

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12512675232

[colorado_ufo]

61. VERY important wording

in this article, right at the start: "installing Donald J. Trump in the Oval Office." (My emphasis.)

This is coded language, the seriousness of which needs to be appreciated. It is not just saying "influence the election," or "favor" Trump, or anything else that leaves room for doubt. The word "installing" infers that the intent was to get him into the office, one way or another, and that they (Putin et al) would escalate their campaign and any influence that they had on their contacts to achieve this, whether by disinformation, hacking, or any other way - including directly affecting the voting process in some manner or another. They had a LOT invested in this enterprise, and they were not about to lose. In that world, bad things happen to those who don't produce the expected results.

Were this some local paper, I would not read too much into the statement, perhaps it being careless wording. But the NYT is at the top of its profession, the epitome of journalism. This means something. To me, it means that they quite possibly know even more than they are reporting.

[Tatiana]

64. I think they know more than they are willing to report at this time, too.

This is serious stuff. The reporters are likely facing serious threats to follow up on leads and obtain information.

The use of this type of language is intentional and portends of something very evil.

[colorado_ufo]

70. I expect extraordinary revelations

close to the inauguration. We will likely wind up with Pence as President. The media, especially the press, has no love for Trump.

[Hekate]

75. That's a very interesting take on it, colorado ufo

Thanks for giving me something to chew over

[colorado_ufo]

76. I used to work in publication

in a small way.

[Stuart G]

63. k and r....nt

[Stellar]

65. I hope media continues to rub it in Donalds face every chance they get.

[Fast Walker 52]

69. I hope so too... but I doubt it... who knows though... this whole situation is just bizarre

[not fooled]

71. Hahaha that hair

That photo alone sends a message--the NYT isn't playing ball with dump's little charade.

Maybe the NYT learned their lesson when they shielded chimpy by burying the story that Gore actually won in Florida. Their rationale at the time was that the country needed to be unified post-911. Then he went on to get us into the Iraq debacle and the rest of his clusterf*ck of a presidency.

Cosseting illegitimate presidents doesn't end well.

[Hekate]

72. Mass vomiting ensues
