"The Russians are coming!" And our media doesn't seem to give a damn. Think about it!! [View all]

The evidence is much more solid that there is a link between Trump and Russia on the leaked e-mails than there is any evidence that the DNC actually DID anything to hinder Sanders campaign. Memos between DNC staff that PROPOSE some actions to take against Sanders that even their own e-mails said would be wrong do not compare to the links now being exposed between Trump, Trump staff and Putin...not to mention how the GOP would be making a HUGE stink about his wife's dad having been a communist.

That said, think about this: All the lives and treasure fighting the cold war and establishing NATO and other forces to stop the Russian (communist) aggression and we might now elect a person who has both personal and political ties to Russia? How does that honor our military, our sacrifices of life and treasure? Maybe Kruschev was right when he said "We will bury you!"

I have to say, had this been a situation that the Hillary was as close to Putin as Trump obviously is, the media and the GOP would be all over this and you wouldn't hear about anything else. But it seems that our own media is down playing the Russian link in favor or piling on and trashing DWS. They just keep pushing the story that somehow Hillary cheated and did not really win the nomination...14 million votes aside.

Just think if Hillary had totally kicked DWS to the curb we would be hearing how disloyal Hillary is to people who work for her and who helped her and the Democratic Party for so long...in fact long before Bernie Sanders was a Democrat or even well known. It is shameful how HRC has been treated by the media and people who have no appreciation for lifelong service to causes from which they benefit.
