Liberals and neocons deserve each other

As seen here, any challenging question asked and they just accuse you of working for Russia. Sheer lunacy and pathetically childish. There are very good reasons to attack Trump, like him dropping 44,000 bombs in one year but the Dems won't do that because for one Obama dropped loads too and secondly they support the bomb dropping. When Trump has bombed Syria the 'Liberal' news networks have actually called him "Presidential". That's what it takes for these psychopaths.

I thought that the party and the left in general might learn from Trump's win but they have actually imploded and got far worse.

I worry for the US.

I agree with you ... except when you imply that leftists and the Democratic Party are identical. Leftists like Noam Chomsky were criticizing Obama's foreign policy all throughout his presidency.

Then he endorsed Clinton. Screw Chomsky.

I didn't imply they were the same, hence why I said "...and the left in general"

People like Chris Hedges are the most consistent. He couldn't endorse Clinton and slammed her. He has moral high ground to bash Trump.

If the Democrats have lost their minds, then the Republicans have been in a rubber room for years now.

Yeah I don't get why the lefties keep accusing Trump of colluding with Russia. Can't they just say he's not a very good president without making stuff up about Russia?

Never underestimate your opponents. Some of them might just be smart enough to be dangerous.

Nah, Democrats are just great at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

I've already made my position on "Russiagate" clear in my past posts. I shall repeat myself.

There may have been some Russian interference, but this was not the decisive factor. Also, foreign powers interfere with elections all the time. Usually, nobody cares when this happens.

The decisive factor was Hillary Clinton's refusal to aid the lower economic classes in any meaningful way.

That is no the point...I don't really want anyone deported, I am not saying I would support that. The point is if they are going to deport everyone from south of the border who is not documented...why not undocumented Russian immigrants? Trumps wife is a Russian immigrant why isn't she in a camp based on the 'no tolerance' policy? And her cute jacket about how she doesn't give a f*ck.

John, you're basically a single issue voter, and you take quite an extreme position on that issue. I don't necessarily mean that in a bad way, even though I disagree with your stance, but surely you understand that most people accept that bombing chemical weapon production facilities following a chemical weapon attack is morally justified?

To say "well the Democrats don't share my one view, therefore they're getting worse" is rather simplistic.

Give me neoconservativism over Assad sympathy any day.

Then why did Clinton win decisively among the working class? In those earning under $50,000 a year, [url=https://ropercenter.cornell.edu/polls/us-elections/how-groups-voted/groups-voted-2016/polling suggests[/url] Clinton won 53-41. Trump won amongst the middle class, and they roughly tied among the rich.

I think it's highly probable that Russian interference swung Michigan. I also think it's well within the realms of possibility that they swung Wisconsin, Pennsylvannia, Florida, and even North Carolina, but I don't know exactly how many messages the average person needs to receive to change their vote.

Comey, and the ridiculous email narrative, were probably bigger factors than the Russian interference. But we shouldn't underestimate the impact that Russians deliberately spreading fake news on social media had upon the election.
