No presidential electionbin American history has been decided by the popular vote. President Trump won 306 electoral votes. That's a landslide. He was goven a mandate to reverse Liberalism.

Democrats won 2 senate seats and 6 house seats this time, certainly underwhelming.

The GOP triumvirate party in power loses seats in the mid-terms, 2018.

Meanwhile, DEMs have a nice new focus on the state legislatures that will benefit from corrupt trump and his corrupt GOPrussian congress .

Whoa! That's huge! Who controls Congress?

Trump has done nothing to counter that charge that he is a puppet. His track record thus far is that he will stand up for Russia and Putin before he will stand for America and its institutions. Until he shows us some moxey and blasts Putin like he blasts other people in his way, the charge stands...

Its not a landslide by any reasonable assessment. In fact, it was one of the skinnest electoral margins in history.

Donald Trump's Electoral College victory was not a 'massive landslide' | PolitiFact

Did we mention he lost the popular vote by the HUUGGEST margin in history, for guys actually elected?

Sorry, but the voters did not elect Trump, the process did. He needs to respect that.

Did we also mention that his approval rating before doing a thing is lower than Obama's EVER was. In fact, its the lowest in US history for a POTUS elect.

Poll: Trump enters office with historically low approval rating | TheHill

The man has no mandate. He is not well liked, except within his cult. He will be lucky to hang onto the job for 4 years, as the Cons will jettison his A if the job approval drops into the 20's, which it can.

Trump confused Buzzfeed with CNN. CNN didn't publish the 35 page memos or say anything about it's content, they only reported on the two page dossier included in the intel briefing. In fact, Trump himself mentioned the two page dossier and blamed the intel agencies for leaking. Trump was wrong to accuse the media like that...and it's not going to end well for him. I wouldn't be surprised or blame CNN if they sued his sorry ass for slander and liable.

CNN used the two pages to direct searches to the 35 page document. Surely you can see that...

I don't think I'm the only one. I saw it as two separate stories that were linked and occurring at the same time. The CNN story about the two page synopsis included in the intel briefing....and the Buzzfeed story and publishing of the 35 page memo that 4chan claims to have made up.

To their credit, CNN didn't publish the memos...and Buzzfeed did. Yes, that makes them mutually exclusive. MK?

No, CNN pointed viewers to it. That's what makes it so sinister...

President Trump won by a landslide. The election was decided before bedtime. :lamo
Click to expand...

The votes he won in many battleground states was by SMALL margins, some were 47% to 47% with a difference of less than a tenth of a percent in some cases. That isn't a landslide when your popular vote is less by more than 3 million! Obama's election in 2008 was a landslide, noone is buying your **** except dumb Trumptards. Are you by chance a Trump supporter? :lamo

They pointed to the source which they got it from. CNN even reported it as UNVERIFIED. They did their job so quit your whining and bitching. What is it about some Trumptards that make them ******s?

Praxas said:
Ok let's take a look at that.

Are these false?


I'll post more if you'd like, but the gist of it was showing the ties Trump has or does have currently with Russia. Now please state which is false?
Click to expand...

I don't believe they are false, although I'm just taking your post at face value.

So as an international business man, is Trump required to ignore a profitable market? Should we ignore all Trump detractors who are doing business in Russia because they are hypocrites? Apple, Microsoft? Should we reject Jeffrey Immelt's (CEO, GE) criticisms of Trump when he has significant operations in Russia?

What possible conflict would arise?

Do you think President Trump will refrain from taking appropriate actions because his hopes for his Vodka brand could be impacted? Do you think he will be concerned he won't get royalties from a branded Hotel if he stands up to Russian aggression? Should he not sell property to someone with money who wants to buy it.



What exactly do you fear?

1. No it has not. What CNN reported was factually correct and the VP and intelligence directors all confirmed that they knew about and read the same report that was given to Trump. Are you telling me that all the top agencies in the country along with the President and Vice President are colluding in an outright and obvious conspiracy theory in order to bring down Trump? Even after Obama said he wants the transition to go as smoothly as possible? NOTE: Trump is the one out there who is making the most noise over how fake this supposedly is. And if it is fake/a lie, then all the above that I just posted has to be true. In my experience studying conspiracy theories and how they are supposed to operate, nothing is ever that obvious! Even if the CT turns out to be true!

2. So to have an incoming President do the same thing is better? A President is supposed to rise above this nonsense. I criticized Obama for doing the same thing to Fox News too, yet just like Trump has in the past w/CNN. Obama still allowed Fox News to interview him.
Click to expand...

1. Yes it has. Over, and over, and over. Obama has been talking out of one side of his rear end while doing something else out of the other. Smooth transition? Was that the message he tried to convey during his obnoxious "farewell" speech?

2. That's a really weak argument. Rise above the nonsense? How about crush it, and expose it? Unless someone does that, this massive propaganda mill created by the Progressive Machine will continue, and the psychotic reaction seen among those who didn't get their candidate in the White House this last election cycle will only grow more delusional and dangerous.
