Are you a fan of free elections or is it okay with you if an outsider has a thumb on the scale of justice skewing outcomes? Why?

  • The "thumb" is ALWAYS on the scale. The idea has always been to skewer "free" elections. We see this constantly. Let an election take place anywhere at any time with a little controversy thrown in the mix and you'll see money and special interest groups coming out of the woodwork to sway the outcome. Anybody with any degree of celebrity or notoriety puts their two cents worth in the pot and there you have it. Now, I don't believe that's any different from any outside interference you're alluding to (Which hasn't been proven and probably never will be) And no, you can't leave out voter fraud which is as old as the republic and just as prevalent today as ever. "Free" elections is wishful thinking, wonderful in theory but not in practice.

    When this amount of votes has to be counted, there are always screw-ups.

    Always. 

    But not with Russia putting it's thumb on the scale.

    *number of votes.

    What evidence do you have of this Russia thing, or is this straw no. 388 that you're grasping at to convince yourself that Trump is somehow not legitimately POTUS?

    Well the donjohn prez refuses to acknowledge it and therefore our guvment is doing nothing about it to protect us from future invasion/meddling. If he does act upon it that means he will have acknowledged it which means his election was fraudulent. Now had there been no Russian meddling there is NO GUARANTEE Hillary would have won. But we shall never know.  Russia GROOMED doofus don for 5 years to become prez.  That's a long time to  shape/manipulate/control  a lump of clay whose only directive is to be complimented. Compliment him and you own him lock stock and barrel. Such an easy mark. SIGH. And more of the same is headed our way and in fact going on now. Look the other way. Deny it. Lie about it. "No collusion. No collusion. No collusion". The broken record that is stuck on the same false words is dumbjohn because he thinks the people are really that dumb!  As  if!.   SIGH. Thank you for your reply Sharon!  :)
