(RE: The whipping up of B.S. here) If we're going to let ourselves be F*CKED BY RATS... [View all]

...shouldn't we at least have them buy us a drink first?

Do we NOT see what's happening HERE with the obfuscation from Trump's Putin ties and the attempt to sh*t on this convention just before it starts...led mostly by embittered dead-enders and clear operatives from the other side?

People here going with FAKED e-mails, bad-news poll obsessives and the gang-recommending of hurtful and conversely, sandbagging of pro-candidate posts?

Eyes on the prize folks—and work HARDER to get the explosive story about Putin's Trump-backing out there while letting this other bulls*t die on the vine.
