I win an election easily, a great "movement" is verified, and crooked opponents try to belittle our victory with FAKE NEWS. A sorry state!

how long it takes depends solely on how long justice Ginsberg can stay upright, and Vlad has plenty of ways to shorten that too

Today's press conference could be must-watch TV, if I had any faith that the media will actually challenge him.

Trump cites Kremlin statement to deny reports of Russia ties, asks, ‘Are we living in Nazi Germany?’

{There goes half his base.}

By Abby Phillip

@abbydphillip

January 11 at 8:52 AM 

Donald Trump on Wednesday morning angrily denounced news reports about potentially compromising information Russia has allegedly gathered about him, citing denials from the Kremlin that it has collected any such intelligence.

The president-elect also charged via Twitter that his “crooked opponents” are trying to undermine his electoral victory. He accused the intelligence community of leaking the information to get in “one last shot at me,” saying, “Are we living in Nazi Germany?”

Trump’s comments follow the revelation Tuesday night that a classified report delivered to Trump and President Obama last week, according to U.S. officials, included a section summarizing allegations that Russian intelligence services have compromising information about Trump’s personal life and finances.

The officials said that U.S. intelligence agencies have not corroborated those allegations but believed the sources involved in the reporting were credible enough to warrant inclusion of their claims in the highly classified report on Russian interference in the presidential campaign.

scumbag is the President-Elect.

By the way when he was promoting the birther bullshit, he should have thought about fake news.

Fuck him every which way - I am pissed.

Maybe he'll say "I'm leaving this place!" then delete his account and disappear for about four years.
