I notice with all of Trumps appointments that there are captains of industry, champions of big banks, big oil and big business, but nowhere has he appointed anyone who will champion the working man.

Trump voters got duped. Trump voters have fucked over every working man and woman in this country.

"Meanwhile, Putin’s popularity is skyrocketing among Republicans. According to a YouGov/Economist poll released this week, favorability of the Russian president has climbed 56 points since July 2014." HP

Repubs love themselves some Putin.

What going back to July 2014 for a baseline does is get you to before Trump activated the authoritarian streak in the Republican base.

U.S. intelligence officials now believe with "a high level of confidence" that Russian President Vladimir Putin became personally involved in the covert Russian campaign to interfere in the U.S. presidential election, senior U.S. intelligence officials told NBC News.

Two senior officials with direct access to the information say new intelligence shows that Putin personally directed how hacked material from Democrats was leaked and otherwise used. The intelligence came from diplomatic sources and spies working for U.S. allies, the officials said.

Putin's objectives were multifaceted, a high-level intelligence source told NBC News. What began as a "vendetta" against Hillary Clinton morphed into an effort to show corruption in American politics and to "split off key American allies by creating the image that [other countries] couldn't depend on the U.S. to be a credible global leader anymore," the official said.

Ultimately, the CIA has assessed, the Russian government wanted to elect Donald Trump. The FBI and other agencies don't fully endorse that view, but few officials would dispute that the Russian operation was intended to harm Clinton's candidacy by leaking embarrassing emails about Democrats.

I guess they'll have to stop wrapping themselves in the American flag proclaiming their patriotism. Send them all off to the gulag.

Whell would accept nothing less than a direct admission of guilt by Putin live on Fox News. Otherwise it did not happen.

I am more curious as to what will be cooked up on Twitterverse.
