President Trump

Michael Kinsley calls Trump a fascist in the actual, poli-sci sense:

Perhaps some of his fans could explain how they can call him a conservative.

They don't have to. "Conservatives" have been in the process of merging corporate and political powers for a couple of generations now.

They all think this is republican vs. Democrat.
It's insane. This is US vs Russia, and Russia may have just won.

And the Right loves it. They fell in love with Putin when Putin slighted Obama.

But why?
What did Obama do that gave them the impression that active treason was the only appropriate response?

He got elected.

He got elected.

There's really no evidence to the contrary.

It's messed up. It really only leaves one possibility.

Donald Trump hints US 'One China' policy could end

President-elect Donald Trump has questioned whether the US should continue its "One China" policy.

US policy since 1979 has respected China's stance on Taiwan, which it sees as a breakaway province.

But Mr Trump said that without concessions from Beijing on trade and other issues, he did not see why that should continue.

Here's an in-depth analysis of the Trump presidency. But not for the office reader.

Usually winning the popular vote does mean something. It usually means you win.

Fortunately the system rates the american parts of america more than the un-american ones. As the system intended.

He does have the ideal government for them. Hard on gays, easy on guns and employers can make their employees pray. What is not to love about Russia?

He even has put the press in its place.

At first glance it seems spot on. The pie chart is especially illuminating.

I got lost somewhere. What do you mean by "active treason" here?

Looks like I need looser fitting boxer shorts.

Asking for (and receiving) assistance from the Russian Government to win the election.

Do you have supporting evidence for this accusation? I understand that Russia hacked some servers, but I am unaware of that being 1) solicited and 2) contributing to the outcome of the election.

Don't know about #2, but as to #1:

“Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,” Mr. Trump said during a news conference here in an apparent reference to Mrs. Clinton’s deleted emails. “I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.”

17 different US intelligence agencies have reported this.
They have the evidence. Take it up with them.

NO NO!

That was just him having fun, remember?

Trump is never to be taken at his word. We have his word on that.

Putting aside the fact that it was a joke, the statement does not solicit a hack. It simply asks that the Russians release the email that they've already hacked. Which would be good for the US actually. Not knowing what Russia had is far worse.

Evidence points toward the highlighted being nothing more than wishful thinking on the part of a sore winner at this point.

He told them to do it. Right in front of our faces he told them to do it, and they did.

Treason.

The newest way to show your patriotism - treason.

Well done.
