21. It's called "rat-fucking."

And it's been going on for decades. HOWEVER, I've never heard or seen or even conceived that it would get to a level like this. I mean - this is no break-in of the DNC offices. This is no exploitive Willie Horton race-baiting campaign. This is allowing a well-known, well-documented, well-recognized adversarial foreign entity to meddle in our elections for the political gain of one of the candidates. NOBODY that I can recall ever invited the Russians to step in and stir things up on behalf of one candidate on one side. Hell, this is THE CANDIDATE HIMSELF who did the inviting! On live television!

I've never seen anything like this. It just freakin' Blows. My. Mind.
