I'm wondering if Trump is going to interfere in the investigation of cyber hacking? I can understand someone who complains about multiple investigations where nothing is really gained. But you actually have to do a proper investigation and he should be supporting it.

And to suggest other countries may be involved and insist that everyone should "move on" seems near treasonous to me.


Trump has already committed treason by encouraging other countries to interfere in the US election. Of course he wants to sweep it all under the rug now.

I wonder just how the American public will feel about a President who lost the popular vote by 2.5 million and only won the election because of Russian hacking. Will he be considered legitimate? (Other than by EvenBob and AZDuffman, that is.)

The Trump Effect just got John Kennedy
elected to the senate in a run off election
in Louisiana. Trump campaigned for him
there last week.


The Trump Effect?

It's Louisiana. Trump has nothing to do with it.

That's just as dumb as someone saying the Hillary Effect got Kamala Harris elected to the Senate in California.

As usual not digging into the details. Still listening to MSM trying to discredit Trump.

Pence is going every day, Trump is a business man and knows how to delegate. The exact opposite of what the lefties are making him out to be.

Quote from Business Insider

"One unnamed official told the Post "Trump has a lot of catching up to do," while David Priess, a former CIA officer who was on George W. Bush's daily briefing team, said Trump's absence from the meetings "is not unprecedented over the decades-long scope of these briefings."


So is he already up to speed, like you first said, or is he delegating, and have a lot of catching up to do?

Just because you delegate doesn't mean you aren't up to speed, two different things.

In wingnut land the CIA, NSA, FBI, etc. know nothing more than what gets published in Breitbart. And even though the Orange Man doesn't even listen to a briefing, he's caught up because Vice-president Pence does listen.

In the event of a 3 am phone call, isn't it reassuring the Orange Man will need to hunt down the vice-president in order to know what to do?

And the bit about a lot of catching up to do?

The CIA says Russia might have helped
Trump win. So it was was Russia that
made us hate the vile lying crook Hillary,
it wasn't her terrible personality or 25
years of scandals. Really? That's what
they want us to believe?

No, they don't want you to believe that the Russians made you hate Hillary.

What, then. How did the Russians make us
vote for Trump. The leaked emails? Russia
didn't write them and they changed few
minds anyway. Her being investigated by
the FBI? That had nothing to do with Russia.
Her being unlikable with no discernible
personality and no agenda separate from
Obama's? I don't get how Russia made us
vote for Trump.

You think the president wakes up at 3:00 and half asleep tells someone over the phone to go ahead and nuke em. There will be a meeting and the relative information available will be presented and discussed.
