I'm 63 years old and I can't fucking believe [View all]

that the REPUBLICANS are defending the Russians and are playing down the involvement of the major party candidate with their apparatchik. When I was a kid if there were a SNIFF of Russian involvement in wiping the candidate's ass, he'd have been sent to the coal mines in perpetuity much less been allowed to stay on the ballot. It is unbelievable that the press and the traditional RW does not hold the flame to this sociopathic lunatic's feet.

Can you just imagine if it were suspected that Dukakis or Gore were doing business with the Russkis??
