A Year in the Life of Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin

As evidence mounts that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s government intervened in the American presidential election, allegedly taking deliberate steps to help elect Donald Trump, it’s easy to forget that this story has unfolded slowly, piece by piece, over the course of about a year.

With that in mind, let’s take a stroll down memory lane.

It is becoming obviously clear that people voted for a foreign operative to be President.
And now he want's a man who has stronger ties to Russia than America as SOS.

Jesus! If Trump and Putin were any closer, they'd be sleeping together. It's amazing this story has gone under-reported while the media incessantly screamed bloody murder about Hillary and those goddamn emails.

Oh no! A girl is kissing her dad on the cheek while he's on the phone! That's disgusting !

If you think that is a "creepy daddy/daughter photo " of Trump and Ivanka "snuggling up on a bed" then you've just become a purveyor of fake news. Congratulations!

"If she wasn't my daughter, Id probably date her"

An Intellectual History of Trumpism

To the extent that analysts have discerned any new philosophy behind Trump’s rise, they have focused on the vicious, bigoted internet stylings of the so-called alt-right. But the unabashed white nationalism, anti-Semitism and misogyny of that hitherto underground movement constitute only one strain of Trumpism. The larger ideology that the president-elect represents is a post-Iraq War, post-crash, post-Barack Obama update of what used to be called paleoconservatism: On race and immigration, where the alt-right affinities are most pronounced, its populist ideas are carrying an already right-wing party even further right. On a few economic issues, such as infrastructure and entitlement spending, they could direct the party toward the political center. On trade and foreign policy, they threaten to demolish the internationalism that has governed the GOP since Dwight Eisenhower’s presidency. In each of these ways, Trumpism represents a significant break with the conservatism that has dominated the Republican Party for decades.

'Trumpism' ... you all do realize now that the word is going to end up in the dictionary and be taught in Poli-Sci classes?

He's talking about the fact that if you don't catch the hackers while they're hacking, it's impossible to identify the criminals.

Which is why White House, CIA or anyone with any creditable can't prove that it was Russia, and if you look at the podesta emails, their passwords were so simply that you most likely didn't even need to hack anyone.

So Trump as usual, is correct.

Donald Trump’s Theory On Catching Hackers Gives Cybersecurity Pros The Giggles

WASHINGTON – President-elect Donald Trump claimed Monday that tracking computer hackers is virtually impossible unless they are caught “in the act” – a theory that comes as news to cybersecurity experts.

“Unless you catch ‘hackers’ in the act, it is very hard to determine who was doing the hacking,” Trump tweeted.

“That’s just silly,” laughed John Schindler, who worked for 10 years as an analyst at the National Security Agency. “That is just simply false.”

A review of forensic evidence pointed to the Russians, said James Lewis, a cybersecurity expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. “No one expects Putin to burst into tears on national TV and confess. Ambiguity is normal in espionage, but there shouldn’t be any doubt,” he said.

Anyone up for a trip top Moscow to try and catch a hacker 'In the Act'?
