Russian officials must be laughing at the U.S. & how a lame excuse for why the Dems lost the election has taken over the Fake News.
7:04 AM - 30 May 2017


Later in the day, Trump received a very special assist from none other than Putin himself, who of course denied that Russia interfered in the election but also helped lay the blame squarely on Democrats, though not by name:

“They want to explain to themselves and prove to others that they had nothing to do with it, their policy was right, they have done everything well, but someone from the outside cheated them,” he continued. “It’s not so. They simply lost, and they must acknowledge it.”

The “people who lost the vote hate to acknowledge that they indeed lost because the person who won was closer to the people and had a better understanding of what people wanted,” the Russian leader said in a reference to President Donald Trump

I stand with America against the Acts of War* being waged against US democracy. Too bad almost all republicans have gone over to the dark side.
