There are reports that Russia is attempting to influence elections in Germany and France using similar tactics (fake news, inciting right wing populist movements, and general chaos) to what they used here. It is not beyond the realm of possibility that should those right wing movements get a hold of government power in those countries, that we could see a massive shift in the alignment of European states.

Looking at the elections in both countries, it looks as if Merkel, who is moderate/center right will retain her post, or that Shultz and the Social Democrats will make gains. They should remain stable.

France on the other hand is looking like they may elect Le Pen, who is the equivalent of Trump for France. The French Parliament still looks to be way more progressive, but the election of a right wing president would be a step in the wrong direction.

and sending out nasty little and grossly inappropriate tweets like a 15 year old. It isn't b/c Trump is so "amazing at communicating" (the Trump team's narrative) -- it is because he is a coward.

McCain and Graham are right in their criticism of the ban and how it will create more terrorists.

Trump is right in that McCain and Graham always want military intervention everywhere, every time, and do seem to love the idea of WWIII.

I think I'll just choose to dislike all three of them.
