Matt Taibbi joins the WTF is really going on crowd.

Over the last eight years the Democratic Party has lost:

The House in 2010
The Senate in 2014

** 13 Senate seats
** 69 House seats
** 11 governorships
** 913 state legislature seats

**The Presidency in 2016 and with that SCOTUS for 2017 and onwards [possibly the most disastrous loss of them all].

Some background

Since Barack Obama entered the White House in 2009, his government has waged a war against whistleblowers and official leakers. On his watch, there have been eight prosecutions under the 1917 Espionage Act – more than double those under all previous presidents combined.

Have you noticed how the US government has dealt with whistle-blowers?

Have you noticed the reasons given? They do have one thing in common.

The outrage is not over creative lies and misinformation.

It is for exposing the reality and truth.

I was waiting for and it has now been done, it is about HER.

There is absolutely no point at this time talking to Democrats or Republicans they are both off in the playground pulling each others pigtails.

The lawyers are celebrating the festive season early because there are so many threats of litigation that their careers are ensured for the foreseeable future.

Tin foil sales have gone through the roof and not because tin foil makes good stars to top off the Christmas Tree.

1] Stop writing stupid stuff down. Nobody has even hinted that whoever "interfered" was in any way creative.
2] Stop trying to fight dirty campaigns. Stop playing up to media needs for more food fights for sales.

Try
1] Transparency.
2] Fighting the campaign on the issues. If you actually believed in what you promote, it would be even easier.

America under siege.

Two leading Republican voices on foreign policy in the Senate, John McCain and Lindsey Graham, joined two Democratic senators on Sunday in expressing concern over the reports on Russian interference and saying it could not become a partisan issue.

The Russians tampered with the US elections! Apparently they did so by sending hacked Democratic Party emails back to their country of origin, despicable I say! Not only that is that everyone is believing every word from the worlds most nefarious and devious organisation, the CIA. Queue the "twilight zone" music. Funny nobody has questioned the contents of the emails, it seems to be just assumed that what was contained within them was not altered in any way.

Trump, the know-nothing victor
