Having barely finished high school, and no college, I had to look up rapacity.......what an excellent word !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AND, we can't forget the amount of work that Putin put forth !!!!!!!!

Along with this time around, not only Putin, but N.Korea, China, and the Saudi's aiding the Republican Party....The Director of Intel has stated that the amount Putin contributed in the 2016 election, is nothing compared to what they are seeing from Russia and other countries this time around.

My friend, (who came from Russia 20 years ago and got his citizenship) and I talk frequently. I ask him what he hears from his relatives/friends back home in Russia. He says that the Russian Citizens are all laughing at HOW EASILY Putin played Trump and the Republican Party, in bringing down our Democracy and Economy. The amazing thing, he says, is how they all watched Putin succeed without firing a single Rocket or Missile, or starting a war.........They all grasp how Putin has contentiously groomed Trump and many other Republican politicians here in America for decades to get to this point.........
