    It's been a media echo chamber in search of evidence and I have not seen ANY real evidence that Russia helped Trump get elected. Feel free to share anything I may have missed, but I am trying to keep up.

    Manafort was a shady dude, but he didn't last long anyway, so anything he may have done is near meaningless to me.

    If anything, any Russian meddling in general is about sowing chaos and distrust in American democracy and government. So you could say that effort is working, but that's not on Trump.
    The IC has said the Russian meddling was to help elect Trump. Just because Manafort left the campaign didn't mean he stopped being a member of Trump's inner circle. I don't believe Russia tampered with vote tallies, no reporting has indicated that. Are you following the investigation?

      I mostly detest public shamings, but reading Kathy Griffin's groveling after it became apparent this stunt would affect her wallet is pretty funny. She's pretty disgusting so I'll allow myself just a little schadenfreude.

        She is probably worthy of just ignoring. I always thought she was crass but she outdid herself this time.

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

            That's hilarious. He must have fallen asleep in the middle of his tweet. What a clown show.

              Yeah, I can't believe all those dumb democrats believed all that fake news and switched to voting for Drumpf... I mean everyone knows the dems didn't write all that crap that is in those emails, right? Come on, the dems couldn't be that dumb to write those things like cheating in the debates, screwing over Bernie, etc. Only the conspiracy believing GOP'er and maybe the Bernie loving, pot smoking hippies would believe that crap anyway. Wait a minute... Just how many Bernie fanboys does the dem party have anyway? It can't be more than 10, right?

                LOL... It seems that Drumpf is living rent free in the heads of CNN reporters. What a bunch of dummies.

                  Knock it off. It's a funny story. And one of the most re-tweeted tweets of his presidency.

                      If you think that is funny you must regularly laugh heartily at my posts here. IMO its not THAT funny, although it is embarrassing for obvious reasons.

If the rules change they will most likely play the game differently. I would still vote for the Libertarian, however.

Who knows who would win in that type of election? There is no guarantee that Hillary would still win if those are the rules.
                        Let me clear something up. I have no problem with the electoral college. I like the electoral college. I much prefer the electoral college to a democratically elected president and I'm not disputing that Trump won the election.

                        I just found it really funny that Crockett was disparaging "false narratives" as he spread one.

Wholly nothing. Whatsoever nothing. Nothing at its very fibers and fabrics. Nothing on a cosmic level. That it's so enchantingly estranged fr

                            One supreme court pick will make all the Trump crazy worth it?!? My, what a low bar the GOP faithful has set.
