Even I was in Washington state last weekend. Haven't been there for about 30 years.



That is a really good question. It seems like most "news" these days is slanted towards the reporter or editor's political bent.



ANd in spite of all that Russian hacking Trump still won.

... or because of it ...

Do you really think the Russians would want a loose cannon like The Donald opposing their expansion goals? Much more believable that they would want Clinton, who did nothing while they stole a good chunk of Ukraine.

I still think that the Russian Oligarchs are his biggest investors and that they own his ass.

.. and poor deluded Walter thinks that it's otherwise. Who the hell else would invest a nickel in a Trump project after he bankrupted four times? The Russians need to launder all sorts of dirty money and what better place than with a fraudulent President who does not reveal his "financials".

Walter lives in LaLaLa.

Because the ultimate authority in the U.S. resides in the Secretary of State.

Damn, it's so amazing to see how your mind works. Crimea was Obama's fault. Now that Obama's off the stage, it's Clinton's fault.

There are two groups whose fault it will never by, in your alleged mind: the Trumpublicans and the Russians.

They WANTED Trump to win. The hacking, wikileaks releases etc were designed to turn the population against Hillary. Remember the TIMING of those releases. When It looked as if Hillary was going to win.........that is when all the stuff started coming out. With the negative info being released , the timing of same it was bound to "influence the voters. against Hillary .......even if they planned to vote for her. Many of them were interviewed and stated as much. Some just didn't vote at all........( potential Hillary voters) They did not have t tamper with machinews or do anything that obvious . Al l that had to happen was a a release of info that would sway the population's thinking. against Hillary.

Now someone asked a good question: Why would Russia want a loose cannon like trump to win? One could theorize that he and his cronies have many connections with Russia and is well known to them..........d, but outside of that only Russia knows for sure. another theory is that Putin might have thought he could manipulate Trump easier than Hillary. Why?? because regardless of all his talk.....he is rather easily persuaded, as we have seen...... and is very thin skinned when i t comes to his own sense of self. He is vulnerable to flattery.........and that can be manipulated.

FOR THE RECORD: The reason that I dislike Trump has NOTHING to do with the media, Hillary Clinton, political parties, or any other agenda! I dislike Trump PURELY based on his actions. He's a thief, a liar, a male chauvinistic pig, and as corrupt as they come.

You don't watch enough FOX, then! And you call yourself a Trump supporter ...


Nope, definitely not a Trump supporter per se! But 10,000% over Hillary Clinton. There's Trump traits that I like, but can he organize them and direct them to a successful conclusion? Time will tell. He probably needs to manage his mouth a bit better. I like many of his endeavours but his hands seem to be tied. Back in 2012 I didn't pay too much attention to foreign shit except for Iraq.

Toddler in Chief. Commander in Diapers.

it's been suggested he might be suffereing from a touch of sundowners now too.
could well be. It would explain his inconsistency his erratic conduct, his rambling.....if left without a prompter, his emotionalize on Twitter....... and knee jerk emotional reactions when he feels slighted........and of course projecting blame onto certain targets ( suggesting paranoia ) and perpetual gloom re: state of the world etc.His resistance t take advice

hmm. one could easily make a case for it.

Like most folks following this ........look forward to seeing how he comports himself with Putin.(and see if he offends anyone badly)
