Message received from Trump re: Russia hacking election.

If there is profit to be made or his ego is involved, he will not defend this nation against harm from enemies. This needs to be repeated. The national security is not a priority for him.

... there are no grounds for treason charges; we're not at war Russia. I would think that the Espionage Act would be another kettle of borscht altogether, however.

...became a straight-up criminal organization. However much we may have disliked Ronald Reagan, he did have a vision for the future of the country, profoundly wrong we DU'ers feel it was. What vision did Newt Gingrich or George W. Bush have beyond stuffing their pockets and sticking it to their enemies?

The man who has ascended to the head of a criminal syndicate has the mind of a criminal. What a shock.

The mainstream press time and again is ignoring his absolute lack of interest in governing the country. The bar has been said so low for him, that if he does not insult five people BEFORE breakfast, this is considered a success, no matter how much she is ripping the core values of this country away.

I certainly blame the mainstream media, the whole Republican party, FBI director Comey him, and the incredible amount of money in politics thanks to Citizens United and the bankrupt Supreme Court of the United States. Clearly the conservative members of the Supreme Court are aware that they are Citizen's United ruling flies in the face of our country's history and its moral philosophy.

I sure agree with Bernie Sanders on this when he says "there is no silver lining."

It's all about him and money money money, damn our National security. The US will be a dried up husk when he is done with us. I wonder where he will bury all the bodies?Perhaps they will just dump us in a mass grave and toss in a match.
