If it's not OK for Russia to spread fake stories, why is it OK for trump to do the same

thing, especially with the megaphone he has as POTUS? And the news networks are forced to repeat and discuss his lies day in and day out. It's basically 2016 all over again. It should be a crime for him to knowingly tell so many obvious and easily refuted LIES!

same as 2016, but they'll double down, which is the GOP way. We should expect more of the same but from new wholly unsuspected directions as well as doubling down on vote suppression, poll purges and vote tally manipulation both small and large.

discord, division and doubt in democracy and the free press, spreading hate, distrust and fear...but it is OK for mini-Putin to do the exact exact same....because he is President of America and not Russia??

Your comment is very astute!
