During Sunday's debate, Donald Trump once again said he doesn't know whether Russia is trying to hack the U.S. election, despite Friday's statement by the U.S. intelligence community pointing the finger at Putin -- and despite the fact that Trump was personally briefed on Russia's role in the hacks by U.S. officials.

A senior U.S. intelligence official assured NBC News that cybersecurity and the Russian government's attempts to interfere in the 2016 election have been briefed to, and discussed extensively with, both parties' candidates, surrogates and leadership, since mid-August. "To profess not to know at this point is willful misrepresentation," said the official. "The intelligence community has walked a very thin line in not taking sides, but both candidates have all the information they need to be crystal clear."

2. Benedict Trump - The Traitor

Trump''s ties to Russia have bothered me more than all the "lady" problems. He is in deep with Russia, probably owes them zillions of dollars and Putin has him by the neck. No telling what he would do to help Russia if he were to become President.

4. But the Republican role model lied blatantly about it to the American people

Why do Republicans admire Comrade Casino (R) and his intimate involvement with what Ronald Reagan designated as the "Evil Empire" ?

So sick. So clearly anti-American.
