There is not a single thing about the person known as Donald Trump that qualifies him to be in charge of anything, at all, let alone DEAR GOD the USA and thousands of nuclear warheads.

Dear god, what have these idiots done?

more of them.

Donald Trump Calls on Russia to Find Hillary Clinton’s Missing Emails


DORAL, Fla. — Donald J. Trump said on Wednesday that he hoped Russian intelligence services had successfully hacked Hillary Clinton’s email, and encouraged them to publish whatever they may have stolen, essentially urging a foreign adversary to conduct cyberespionage against a former secretary of state.

“Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,” Mr. Trump said during a news conference here in an apparent reference to Mrs. Clinton’s deleted emails. “I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.”

Everything, and I mean absolutely everything, is secondary to his own insatiable need for ego aggrandizement. Admitting Russian hacking would take away his sweet victory, would tarnish what he views as his affirmation and adulation by the people. So he cannot possibly admit it. He cannot put anything above his own aggrandizement.

He is a clear and present danger to our nation. He is not fit to take the oath of office.

“It's time for our country to move on to bigger and better things,” President Lincoln said in a statement. “Nevertheless, in the interest of our country and its great people, I will meet with leaders of the COTTON GROWING community next week in order to be updated on the facts of this situation.”


“It's time for our country to move on to bigger and better things,” President Kennedy said in a statement. “Nevertheless, in the interest of our country and its great people, I will meet with leaders of the USSR/CUBAN INTELLIGENCE community next week in order to be updated on the facts of this situation.”


“It's time for our country to move on to bigger and better things,” President Hoover said in a statement. “Nevertheless, in the interest of our country and its great people, I will meet with leaders of the BANKING AND ECONOMICS community next week in order to be updated on the facts of this situation.”


“It's time for our country to move on to bigger and better things,” President Roosevelt said in a statement. “Nevertheless, in the interest of our country and its great people, I will meet with leaders of the INTELLIGENCE, MILITARY, AND INDUSTRIAL community next week in order to be updated on the facts of this situation.”



More reasons why I believe Jefferson/Jackson were 100% wrong about the "common man" and Hamilton/Adams were right. Each time the common man's voice drowns out the educated and intelligent, we get an idiot for president: Jackson the murderer, Polk the imperialist, Taft the asshole, Harding the corrupt, Coolidge the useless, Nixon the maniac, Reagan the asshole, Bush #1 the weak, Bush #2 the fuckwad, Shitgibbon the traitor.
