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.

I didn't know about DU until Feb but when I googled it I saw the video and I definitely think it looks like tacky Eastern European metal bands from the 80s.

I was online and saw it as it happened. Along with the election results a little later, it was the beginning of a shitty several months, going to be years.

before shutting down my computer on election day. Thought for sure it was carrying viruses. As I see the whole thing it is really stupid and juvenile. Always felt it was the Russian trolls.
