"I don't mind if you get angry with me at times."

I am not angry with you. As I said I am disgusted with the people that run these parties, that run these organizations, that spend a lot of money lying to the public. I may get frustrated with what you say here and I may feel that you are horribly misinformed but there is an army of people attempting to make sure you are misinformed and so I am not surprised you would end up misinformed.

I am telling you the truth here that a lot of effort has been expended attempting to get the public in this country not to trust the media and this has had a horrific effect on our nation. It is important that you recognize this and that you are not taken in by this obscene war on journalism and the media. If you believe that all the reporting on something like the several ongoing investigations into Russian meddling in our elections are "fake news" then you are not operating in the realm of reality.

It is not fake and it is not a partisan charade. It is real and Putin is ramping this up and mocking Trump and the United States right now. It is a dangerous situation, Putin's recent statements about his capacity to nuke the United States, his imagery of attacking Florida, was an intentional demonstration of how Trump is nothing but his little whipping boy. It is also designed to go along with all the other propaganda they are unleashing on the American public.

How did Trump respond to this? He went on Twitter and attacked Alec Baldwin for his Trump impersonation...said nothing about Putin, his statements, or threats. He made stupid comments about an actor doing a comedy routine on SNL. Seriously, Trump is a total moron and is not qualified to be our president. His appointed heads of the intelligence community and law enforcement have not received any orders to address Russia's ongoing attack on our democracy...none...they testified to this before congress. The White House has had a year to address it and they have done exactly nothing.

If this was Obama...well...Republicans would be so enraged it would be out of control. The House and Senate overwhelmingly approved sanctions on Russia, this was bipartisan. They literally had to force Trump to sign this and he had a deadline to enact them. That deadline came and went, Trump refused to enact the sanctions, had his people destroy the list of Russian oligarchs that were a problem and had his people write a new list they took out of a magazine...and then declared the list was meaningless and no sanctions would be put in place.

He did this while Russia is openly mocking and attacking the United States. Why? Everybody agrees, Republican, Democrat, intelligence both here and abroad, law enforcement that Putin is having a giant party flooding the United States with nonsensical propaganda, hacking our political institutions, and looking now to attack our 2018 elections and Trump is doing nothing, watching TV, and is more concerned with Alec Baldwin than the safety and security of this country.

At the very least, the absolute minimum that should have been done is Trump should have enacted the sanctions on Russia. Everybody with a brain, no matter their party affiliation, agrees with this. Trump did nothing and continues to praise Putin, indicate he trusts Putin more than our own people, and that he believes everything Putin says.

Trump will say nothing but positive things about Putin.

When they ask anybody...does not matter which party...why Trump is doing nothing and only speaks glowingly of Putin the answer across the board is "I don't know."

Something is very, very wrong here, Marc, and the facts support this.

As far as I can tell...you appear entirely oblivious to all this...or you just choose to ignore it. This is baffling. I would like to hear your thoughts on it. Do you even know this is going on?
