Strange that no one found China to be a threat worth investigating when they actually were caught red handed (no pun intended) hacking directly into the voting machines. Strange indeed....it could not have a thing to do with the left not considering it worth investigating because they successfully placed a Black Marxist into power because of skin color....just a quinky dink? Just like the hot mike that found Barry Soetoro colluding with the Russians by making promises if he should happen to win a 2nd term.

    Face it....you lost because of Hillary and the Clinton machine taking Middle American blue collar workers for granted within the so called BLUE WALL. The United States just rejected the failed status quo and rebooted to a more simpler and more moral time period where government actually works to protect and serve the people who hired them....not some political machine, that's why a non-politician wears a teflon suit of armor....he has no political history by which to judge him. Everyone that voted for him knew he was a skirt chasing billionaire from the start because they saw him on a daily basis thanks to the main stream media. There was nothing that could discredit pre-knowledge. Trump has no closet full of skeletons like ALL POLITICIANS do...his closet has been an open door over the past 40 years, and you still can't get anything to stick. Predict away, but crap in one hand and hope in the other and see which one gets filled faster.

    Obama should have stopped them. Now you cry about it

    I don't deny that Russia is not a friend but they aren't an imminent threat. You act like you want to go to war with them.

    Don't worry once we are done working with them to permanently eliminate the democrat party we will deal with them

    There will be a lot of people stumbling around in a stupor as they awaken from the spell Trump has them under.

    We saw the same thing w/ Bush. People adored that guy & his war - no criticism allowed from 2000 - 2008. Once he was out, they turned on him immediately. I can't believe how former stalwarts like Hannity & Ingraham talk about him now.

    So Obama leaves Trump with Iran mess
    Obama leaves Trump with North Korea mess
    Obama leaves Trump with Healthcare mess
    Obama leaves Trump with ISIS mess
    Obama leaves Trump with Illegal Immigration mess

    But at least he "left", and people that support America, and believe there is nothing we can't fix are willing to be patient while Trump wades his way through this laundry list.
    And he will fix things,

    watching liberals cry like babies obstructing progress with THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING, Hillary in the background still making excuses about why she lost is just our little side comedy show to keep us amused.
    and we are amused, please don't forget that, liberals humor us
    This just In::: Trump indicted for living in liberals heads and not paying RENT

    A scenario that becomes more likely by the day.

    I don’t have a crystal ball, but I find the following scenario increasingly plausible. Let me begin by giving away the punch-line: When Robert Mueller’s report comes out, the Republican leadership will quickly huddle, and tell Trump that he needs to resign or face impeachment.

    Why is this prediction other than wishful thinking? For starters, Trump could not do a better job of alienating the Republicans in Congress, whom he needs to save his bacon, if it were his deliberate plan.

    He insults Mitch McConnell personally. Then he makes separate deals with Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi, first on the debt extension, then on the Dreamers, and next quite likely on taxes, and perhaps on climate change.

    The far-right base is enraged at Trump as never before. Breitbart has become an anti-Trump screed.

    Congressional Republicans never liked Trump, and the feeling was reciprocal—just ask Little Marco or Lyin’ Ted. But Trump and the Republicans figured they could use each other. That didn’t work out so well. Not much remains of the marriage.

    Despite the Republican majority in both houses of Congress, the GOP is so badly split that they can’t manage to deliver either their own priorities or Trump’s. Obamacare lives. The Dreamers are likely to avoid deportation. Trump is so desperate to get something that he can call tax reform that he could well make a deal with Schumer and Pelosi that avoids cutting taxes on the rich.

    Why is Trump behaving like this?

    For one thing, Trump is out of patience with McConnell, Ryan, the Freedom Caucus, and the whole Republican crew. They simply can’t deliver. He never was much of a partisan Republican, and now he’s sniffing around the Democrats. It’s Trump’s version of what Bill Clinton called “triangulation.”

    Second, Schumer and Pelosi are part of Trump’s tribe—big-city, East Coast ethnics—the kind of people Trump has made deals with all of his adult life. They remind him of his lawyers, his bankers, his developers and real-estate cronies.

    Pelosi is from an Italian family in Baltimore. Chuck Schumer is from Jewish Brooklyn. His people. Better yet, unlike poor McConnell and Ryan, they can deliver. Their caucus is unified. They are Trump’s kind of deal-maker.

    McConnell and Ryan are not part of Trump’s tribe at all, and they keep tripping over each other and their fellow Republicans. They are rubes.

    Now it would make political sense for Trump to switch camps and do business with the Democrats, were it not for one small detail. He has already committed several impeachable offenses.

    Firing FBI Director James Comey, after Comey failed to heed Trump’s request to go easy on former national security director Michael Flynn, all by itself is obstruction of justice. And Mueller soon will have a great deal more.

    Whether the Republican leadership sends Trump that message to resign or be impeached will depend on one thing: their calculation of whether they are better off with Vice President Pence becoming president.So when Mueller’s report is tendered, there will be no partisan reservoir of goodwill left to cause Republicans to rally to Trump’s defense. Democrats, never mind their deals on the budget or on taxes or on DACA, will immediately file a bill of impeachment—leaving Republicans in an election year to decide whether to defend a president who is clearly damaged goods and whom they detest.

    And here is where things get really interesting. If you had posed that question a month ago, they might well have decided that they are better off sticking with Trump, for two reasons. First, the hard-core base is still loyal to Trump. And second, Trump has threatened to support primary challengers against Republicans who are disloyal to him.

    But that was a month ago, before Trump started doing deals with Schumer and Pelosi, and before he enraged the base by going soft on the Dreamers. To hear Breitbart tell it, Trump should be wearing a scarlet A, for Amnesty.

    So by the time Mueller’s report comes out, there will be more reasons for Republicans to dump Trump and fewer reasons to keep him. The anti-immigrant base is already beginning to defect. Trump will have far less leverage to run primary opponents against Republicans if he is no longer president. Better to have close to a year to regroup under President Pence.

    Would Trump go quietly if confronted with such a threat? Maybe not quietly, but he’d go. An impeachment would spread on the public record, over several agonizing months, all the slimy details of Trump’s tax history and tawdry business deals, which he has tried so hard to keep secret. Remember, this is a guy whose highest loyalty is to his brand.

    As I said, I don’t have a crystal ball, but this scenario becomes more likely by the day. You might wonder: Why, then, does Trump go out of his way to alienate the Republicans in Congress, when they are the one thing standing between him and impeachment or forced resignation?

    You may have noticed that clear thought is not exactly Trump’s strong suit; that the man is given to impulsive, narcissistic, reckless, infantile behavior that doesn’t always serve his self-interest. You could write an entire edition of the DSM—the official manual of psychiatric disorders—just on Trump.

    More elegantly, the ancient Greeks liked to say that character is fate. As Trump’s hubris begins to do him in, we approach the last act of this tragicomedy.

    Yes, and so, we also dealt or are dealing with those threats, Trump isn't taking the Russia threat seriously.
