    More from Guccifer 2.0.


    It looks like big banks and corporations agreed to donate to the Democrats a certain percentage of the allocated TARP funds.

    yeah....Saddam said there were no weapons of mass destruction so maybe the guy was onto something.....so now what Denny...for the next 4 years you're going to call anyone who criticizes Trump a loser....fail...? That'll help. Trump doesn't deserve a get out of trouble free card...no president does. This election to me is a total wake up call for holding all governing officials accountable. Let's start with our currently elected officials ..until they show that their campaign promises weren't just bullshit and actually accomplish something other than argument

    I'll call the people who are miserable failures just that.

    "the guy" only believes what fits his agenda, not the truth.

    But I'm all for holding elected officials accountable. Especially Trump and his appointees.

    Deflection from this.

    Democrats, you had the worst year in Washington

    Party leaders thought they couldn’t have handpicked a more desirable opponent than Donald Trump. They thought he would be such a drag on the GOP that, along with winning the presidency, Democrats might be able to win back the Senate and the House, a feat thought impossible in the pre-Trump era. “I think we could, today, win everything. Bless his heart. Donald Trump is the gift that keeps giving to us,” House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said in June. And with the death of conservative Justice Antonin Scalia in February, Democrats began to imagine the potential of a liberal Supreme Court. “It would enable a revival of a dramatically different role for the court: as an institution that drives social change instead of halting it,” Linda Hirshman wrote in an opinion essay for The Washington Post.

    But, of course, 2016 didn’t work out that way. Now the Democrats may be effectively locked out of power in all three branches of government for years. At the state level, after last month’s elections, they’ll control only 16 governorships and 13 legislatures.

    This year, punctuated by Hillary Clinton’s loss, exposed the remarkably shallow depth of the Democratic bench. The size of the Republican primary field — for which the GOP was relentlessly mocked — was also a sign of the party’s health up and down the ballot. Democrats simply didn’t have the political talent to put forward 17 candidates (or even seven). That’s partly because there’s been limited opportunity to move up in the leadership ranks. Pelosi (Calif.) and Reps. Steny H. Hoyer (Md.) and James E. Clyburn (S.C) have had a death grip on the party’s top congressional slots for a very long time. It’s also partly because the Democratic farm system is hurting.

    That line about the court driving social change drives me insane.

    You must have really hated Hoover Denny.....and the link you posted was a Clinton News Network article...? We probably have one spy to every 3,000 spies China has planted...the espionage world doesn't follow sovereign policies...if it did, the ambassadors would conduct all the intelligence gathering from the leaders of those countries and trust that it's truth based....which it's usually not

    No, I haven't.

    But I'm not butt hurt about other governments doing the same.

    It's not like we're in a position to demand they stop, calling it an act of war. We committed the first act of war, if that's the case.

    Not anyone.

    But I am not excusing Obama while criticizing Trump. That would be a FAIL.

    Actually from the tone of your posts post election I seem to think you will excuse Trump while criticizing Obama....FAIL....Trump hasn't done anything yet...and he's earned criticism...seems to actually thrive on it. Obama has accomplishments whether you highlight them or not....in my opinion they out weigh his deficiencies as a president. Trump has to earn my respect...I respected Obama from day one

    yep...whenever I can unless it's an article headline that seems meaningful. ..I read the economist, Utne and the Wall Street journal...then selectively read internet articles but I do not follow NBC, ABC or any of the popular periodicals out there intentionally...I've read more articles from your links here in OT than I'd ever search out in my own free time. The weather channel is very important to me

    I'm quite wary of Trump. But I'm also a realist.

    So far, he's dominating the news with reasonable picks and a glimpse of the kinds of deals we might expect during his presidency.

    I encourage him to keep on with the deals. I discourage him from trying to fix perceived social problems.

    A lot of stuff he said during the campaign is turning out to be true.

    At this point, I see no reason to accept the media filtered news, and see what he's actually doing.

    The Carrier situation was clearly symbolic during the campaign. He said he promised to keep companies from moving jobs out of the country. The Carrier deal was puny. The SoftBank deal may be on the small side. When it was brought to his attention that Carrier was a promise, he followed through. Props are due.

    His picks are not my preference, but he won, he gets his picks. They haven't done anything in office to judge so any blather about them can only be whining by sore losers.

    If the losers can dig up criminal activity, bring it on. That's reasonable disqualification. Not seeing it yet.
