A Russian chatbot actually passed the Turing Test in 2014.

And we know, officially, Russia interfered with our election.

I have instructed the DOJ to open a complete investigation in Donald Trump and his collusion with Russia to hack our election. I am asking Congress to join with me on postponing any Inauguration until we determine that Trump did not act in a treasonous way during the election. I will stay on a President as long as it takes to determine the best way forward for the sake of these United States.

Steal all the guns from the deplorables and hand them to his Muslim buddies in ISIS to take Christ out of Christmas and redistribute our wealth to lazy people of color, or at least the ones who aren't having abortions 2 days before term.

When you think of all the nonsense that got bandied about the alt-right echo chamber the past few years, it makes you all the more incredulous of the results of this election. I'm tired, I'm angry, I'm sad.

Legally, I'm surprised Trump isn't already in prison.

Pragmatically, arresting him would probably cause both a civil war and a war with Russia, despite any evidence. Trump was elected by a combination of Stupid and Fearful, and the stupid and fearful aren't going to let reality get in their way.
