    Everyone understands the EC means Drumpf comes to power. But that does not change the fact that a majority of Americans voted for Clinton. Both things are true. Too much to handle?

    You must admit you love to put the finger into the wound every now and then, don't you?

    The election was on November 8th, and had nothing to do with the article.

    I stand corrected then, it feels like it was an eternity ago.

    A prime example of what this is all about. Colbert going full leftard on fake news last night on his show.

    But just a month ago, wikileaks revealed the Clinton Global Initiative gave marching orders to Stephen Colbert to do a story on the Clintons.

    So Colbert ended his tirade against fake news with this:

    "
    Colbert’s closing advice was arrogant and tone-deaf:
    “…WikiLeaks, Alex Jones, and the Subreddit sub-geniuses… I mean this in the nicest way possible – grow the fuck up!”"


    This is half about covering up their own nefarious deeds, and half about trying to take down Trump.

  7. Comparing Fox to CNN? Being sanguine about an unfriendly foreign government hacking and thereby influencing your election? Readily accepting and repeating any fabricated or wildly exaggerated "news" that suits your purpose?

    Trump is nowhere near ready for prime time. He knows more than the generals, doesn't believe the entire US intelligence apparatus, and doesn't require daily presidential briefings. Yeah, really, a one-man show. As he repeatedly declared, he's the only one who can save you. The shit for brains you voted for doesn't even take his job seriously. But I'm sure his self-congratulatory "thank you" tour will stage a performance at a venue near you.

    Sorry, bro, but I think you and your friends are lost in the woods.

    Trump knows more than the generals because he is the only one who knows what he might do.

  10. Are you sure? I'm not even convinced of that. Apart from the general objective of drawing more attention to himself and looking out for No. 1, I suspect he's winging it; playing it by ear.
