Creepiest thing about this election. The FBI, Vladimir Putin, and the KKK joined forces against us

Seriously, what the hell?

I mean, if you judge a party by its enemies, I'm flattered. It's interesting to see the Anonymous collective and Julian Assange arm in arm with the FBI to stop our candidate. The only natural alliance in this ragtag bunch is Putin and the Klan, as Putin has a track record of supporting right wing extremists trying to take over countries that would otherwise oppose his expansion into Eastern Europe. But the Klan getting into bed with Putin and Kim Jong-un reminds me, as a history teacher, of Stalin and Hitler making love over the Polish Corridor.

As in national security. But I am now. I am afraid of where this country is going to go.

They were "arm and arm" at one point.

KKK didn't even take off his hat.

Scary. The media silence, I dunno. Maybe they fear mass hysteria. Ya think?

They were more Han happy to use the fruits of the crime. In watergate it was the crime of the break in that was important.
