A lot of us do, certainly the majority in this country. Watch the GOP run for cover at the first real evidence of collusion between Trump and Russia. Also name a few countries where Russia's influence (read meddling) has actually helped their citizens economically.

I don't give a shit about that. And besides that, when it comes to fucking up other countries economies by meddling with them the United States is the worst offender by far.

Russia is no threat to us, unless the neoliberal warmongers provoke them into a nuclear confrontation with us.

So if there is hard evidence that Trump colluded with the Russians in tampering with our last election, what do you think we should do?

One tiny little vowel shift and it's all anyone can talk about.

We are truly doomed.

'Comey Talks Russian Meddling, Trump Tower With Lawmakers'

"FBI Director James Comey met with key Senate lawmakers Thursday, where he discussed matters relating to the alleged wire-tapping of Trump Tower, a congressional source familiar with the ongoing investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election told NBC News.
Comey met with Sens. Mitch McConnell, Chuck Schumer, Richard Burr and Mark Warner, followed by a meeting with Speaker Paul Ryan and Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, along with Reps. Adam Schiff and Devin Nunes.
Comey declined to answer a question as he went into the House meeting about whether there was ever a legal wiretap at Trump Tower."

I dunno about this source, but this is juicy - at least as reliable as Breitbart. :

MARCH 8--In the months before Election Day, a longtime confidante and political consultant for Donald Trump was in contact with the Russian hacking group that U.S. intelligence officials have accused of illegally breaching the Democratic National Committee’s computer system and the e-mail accounts of Hillary Clinton campaign officials in a bid to aid Trump, The Smoking Gun has learned.

The contact between Roger Stone, the Trump associate, and the Russian influence operation came via private messages exchanged on Twitter, according to a source. Stone’s contact was with “Guccifer 2.0,” an online persona that U.S. officials say was created by Russian government officials to distribute and publicize material stolen during hacks of the DNC, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, and Gmail accounts used by Clinton staffers like John Podesta, the campaign's chairman.

It's beginning to look a lot like Watergate, everywhere they go.

Randy Rainbow injects some humor (and a lot of truth) into the situation.
