Wow! Profound Putin knowledge! When our journalists and restaurant reviewers start dying from radiation poisoning, we better start dealing with what this election hath wrought. I sure hope every single elector was watching MSNBC last night at 9:00 PM eastern! Sorry if dupe.

profiting by his coming power, prestige. A good talk today about sniffles business credit rating on the Hartman show. Its 39, which is at the very bottom of the barrel, meaning no bank in this country would give him a loan. I guess he has defaulted or went bankrupt too many times, doesn't pay his bills. Speculation is Deutsche Bank and Putin have been his financial lifeline. No wonder he doesn't want his taxes released. Putin owns him and he will use the presidency to greatly enrich himself and Putin.

Kleptocracy (from Greek: ??????????ί?, klépto- thieves + -kratos rule, literally "rule by thieves&quot is a government with corrupt rulers (kleptocrats) that use their power to exploit the people and natural resources of their own territory in order to extend their personal wealth and political power.


Also known as Trump's regime!

Cost-Plus, Blackwater, Booz-Williams, Halliburton, the F-35 and other boondoggles, the wars themselves - not to mention using taxpayer money to fund mouthpieces like Armstrong Williams, Judith Miller, and Bush's toy boy, James Guckert.

We can expect all this and more from Drumpf (except, presumably, the toy boy).

DNC needs to coalesce our platform of ideas into six major themes, and this should be one for the short term, to expose how Trump will use his office to expand his empire. Over the long term,
We need a strong economic message for working families, its all about the money!

It really was one of Rachel's best segments to date. The only problem is, you become suicidal after watching it.
