(1,077 posts)At the time, I was suspicious. Suspicion born of reading too many spy novels.
I still believe that pRezident dRumpf should be impeached. The russians have compromised him. To me his actions are treasonous.
In this whole cabal, greed and power are the corrupters. For pRezident dRumpf its money. For many of our GOP representatives it's powere. The russians are working both.
Now, Facebook, I read, could help the French, but oh no, don't help the fine citizens of the United States.
It now appears I haven't read to many spy novels. Some of the stuff I'm reading about in the MSM is beyond LeCarre. The russian involvement in our election was planned with malice.
What concerns me the most is the lack of critical thinking in our elected officials.
