This Is A Big Fucking Deal: CNN’s Reporting That Russia Has Dirt On Trump And He Knows It
January 10, 2017
James Schlarmann
I try really hard not to be “that guy” just because I founded a hard-left leaning blog and buy into every story and theory that implicate President-Elect Trump in one nefarious way or another. I’ve always tried to make my “coverage” of American politics — both satire and commentary — based on reported truth and fact, and not supposition and wishful thinking. But after reading CNN’s bombshell exclusive report that intelligence officials briefed Trump on Russia’s ability to gather dirt on him, I’m growing more and more hopeful for his impeachment and removal from office.
There are a few things about CNN’s report that should be dug into by investigative journalists before Trump can sink his hooks into the First Amendment. The free press will be vital in uncovering what Trump knew and when he knew it — which was the seminal theme of another Republican president’s demise if memory serves. If what’s in the report from CNN is true, there can be no doubt that Trump is compromised and can and will be easily turned into the Kremlin’s puppet baby boy bitch, and regardless of politics, that shouldn’t be cool with anyone living in this country, not if the idea of sovereignty means anything anyway.

Now What
Wow, this could explain everything.
I'm going with...Trump is a disgusting, amoral,coward who never wanted the job in the first place.
If even a little bit of this is true then he is also a traitor to The United States Of America.
He along with surrogates have been colluding with a hostile foreign government.

Jared Kushner named senior adviser to Donald Trump
Jared Kushner named senior adviser to Donald Trump https://t.co/nH0JIbWCl1— Salon (@Salon) January 10, 2017
Trump transition officials confirm that Jared Kushner will be named senior adviser to the president.
I can tell you from my experience in the White House that this is a key position. The president’s senior advisor has an office in the West Wing in close proximity to the president’s. He sits in on all major meetings. He advises on all major issues. He carries the heavy weight of public responsibility.
But Kushner is Trump’s son-in-law and business partner. His major loyalty is to Trump and Trump’s global business empire, not to the American people. He has no experience in government. Kings and despots install family members around them, to protect their power and money. Presidents do not – at least not until now.
What do you think?

The Vlad Fad ~ How Trump got his party to love Russia
The two types of Republicans who abandoned onetime opposition to support Vladimir Putin.
By James Kirchick Washington Post
For decades, anti-communism united conservatives behind the Republican Party. An otherwise disparate collection of national security hawks, free-market enthusiasts and social traditionalists rallied to the GOP, resolutely committed to checking Soviet influence around the world. All of these constituencies had reason to despise godless, revolution-exporting Bolsheviks. Although Russia no longer subscribes to Marxist-Leninist doctrine, it still presents a threat to the United States, its allies and the liberal world order. Witness its aggression against Ukraine, its intervention in Syria and its support for extremists across Europe.

Donald Trump Will Be One Of America’s Fattest Presidents
Just a few Taco Bowls shy of Grover Cleveland
At the moment, there is no official number for the portly president-to-be, but the New York Times noted Trump’s weight, as revealed during the ‘Dr. Oz Show’ in September at 236 pounds, which was later revised to 267 pounds. At 6-foot-3, that gives Trump a body mass index (BMI) of 29.5 to 33.4.
Full Story
Perhaps he is the fattest President ever elected as the author accepts the Trump stated fact that he is 6'3".
