Whaaa? When was that assertion debunked? The CIA and the FBI have confirmed that Russia interfered in the election with a HIGH degree of confidence on behalf of Trump. This is a fuckin’ fact.
Their eyes are open, just too busy counting that sweet for profit education lobby money.
Betsy DeVos, who is about as qualified to run the Department of Education as Homer Simpson, might not sail through…
Wow. As a pinko commie feminazi Canadian observer, when the rules of engagement are tossed aside that easily... y’all appear to be royally fucked (pleeeease don’t send it over the border)(although I have a pull out couch for like-minded refugees).

OF COURSE HE WAS. Jesus H Christ, can everyone stop pretending like Canada and Europe are quaint little places where people are not racist sexist assholes? I live in the Netherlands, and we are about to elect or own Trump in March. France has been a shitshow for years and a German politician spoke out AGAINST…
People need to stop being surprised when their racist neo-Nazi friends commit acts of violence. Racist nationalism is inherently violent, which is why this recent resurgence of white supremacy is so dangerous. Especially when it has infiltrated law enforcement..
“You cant play chess with a pidgeon.
And vice-versa. The parallels are getting creepy.
How dare you inject politics into a story about military procurement.
Kim Jong Un could die of heart disease and Trump would take credit for it. What a chode.
Paul Ryan is such a spineless weasel. I can’t believe that people like him and Mitch McConnell are supposed to be keeping Donald in check.
