(THIS IS WHAT TODAY'S HEADLINES SHOULD BE SCREAMING...
and WE CAN bring that about.

THE HEADLINE:

WE HAVE PROOF:

AMERICAN PRESIDENT 
DONALD JOHN TRUMP 
COLLUDED WITH 
RUSSIAN PRESIDENT 
VLADIMIR PUTIN 
TO THROW THE 2016 
AMERICAN ELECTION.

WHAT WE KNOW:

Sometime during the candidacy of Donald Trump, then a candidate for POTUS, he and others close to him did knowingly and willfully conspire with Russian President Putin to smear opposition candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton sufficiently in order to win first the nomination and then the election.

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN AMERICAN HISTORY, WE NOW KNOW WE HAVE A TRULY ILLEGITIMATE PERSON RESIDING IN THE WHITE HOUSE AS POTUS. 

We can prove conclusively that a sufficient number of voters mostly in the rural areas of the country, especially in the south and west, were so hateful and so hungry for victory that they were willing to turn a blind eye to what even then we suspected was true. That the Trump campaign was resorting to dirty tricks far worse than even Richard Nixon could have ever thought of. Helped we now know by the entire intelligence and espionage apparatus of the Russian government situated inside the Kremlin. 

It is hard to fathom how so many could have been so gullible as to believe the smear campaign that Putin's government with the collusion of the Trump campaign did, eventually augmented by espionage and revelations by WikiLeaks and its founder Julian Assange. But believe they did...and THEY went to the polls and voted. Too many of the Clinton supporters didn't. If they had voted, especially in heavily gerry-mandered districts across the country, the outcome might have been different although that is far from certain. The Republican party has been very busy for years doing everything they could to distort the electoral process to give themselves the advantage and they succeeded especially after the 2010 election debacle to do just that.
