The quote attributed to Il Duce is actually debatable. It doesn't come from any of his known writings or speeches.

I was hoping for better picks on the cabinet but I will say I am willing to see what happens here.

On the Rex Tillerson nomination the argument is that the man already has existing working relationships with many world leaders, he's obviously supporting of oil over the bullshit fantasies of 'green' energy that have cost billions, and he's got an amicable relationship with Russia.

On that last part the Democrats have betrayed their hostility towards Russia and Putin by slamming Rex Tillerson for his amicable relationship with them. Was it really all that long ago that the Democrats made fun of Palin for saying that Russia was going to invade Ukraine or when they mocked Romney for saying Russia remained a geopolitical threat?

Remember Hillary with her vaunted 'reset button'?

What about Hillary facilitating the sale of 20% of the USA's uranium to Russia?

And now what's with the Obama administration insisting that Russia 'hacked' the election when in fact no such thing happened at all? Do they want a war with Russia? Because it sure looks like they do.

And if you folks are going to cheer on the Democrats who don't want friendly relations with Russia then are you people going to buck up and pay for your military defense against them?

Say what you will about Trump and Tillerson but if they succeed in lowering hostilities between the US, NATO, and Russia then Canada benefits by not having to pour billions into defense.

We're not worried. Tater Tot the Vapid said he'd tell Putin off right to his face. He might even threaten not to take a selfie with him.

FACT: Russia has been a hostile actor towards the west, e.g. Ukraine
FACT: Russia hacked the DNC to discredit them and influence the election
FACT: Criticizing Russia does not mean war with Russia, e.g. practically the entire history of US-Russia relations up ro today.

When and why did Republicans become so fascinated with becoming such close friends with Russia? And not only that, but their assertion is that we MUST have friendly relations MMEDIATELY and at ANY cost. And how is it that they think it's a good idea to appoint people with personal, business and political ties to the Russian regime to the top positions in the Whitehouse just to obtain that goal? There's no political detente in history that seen such extreme measures. Nixon thawed relations with China, somehow he managed to do that without appointing Chairman Mao's cronies to his cabinet

Putin was overheard saying the word "pizza". Which we all know is damning evidence of the wordt conspiracies.

Russian Hackers Acted to Aid Trump in Election, U.S. Says

WASHINGTON — American intelligence agencies have concluded with “high confidence” that Russia acted covertly in the latter stages of the presidential campaign to harm Hillary Clinton’s chances and promote Donald J. Trump, according to senior administration officials.

They based that conclusion, in part, on another finding — which they say was also reached with high confidence — that the Russians hacked the Republican National Committee’s computer systems in addition to their attacks on Democratic organizations, but did not release whatever information they gleaned from the Republican networks.

Yeah, and then there's this:

The Washington Post, in a front-page splash on Friday, fingered the CIA for allegedly confirming the wild rumors of Russian hacking that were concocted and spread by Democratic lawmakers for months preceding the election and the weeks since the GOP win. The Washington Post’s story, however, contained no CIA sources and in fact, no credible U.S. intelligence agency sources whatsoever. Instead, it hinged on what unnamed lawmakers had supposedly been told by unidentified, supposed CIA-linked sources in “secret” briefings: That the CIA had developed proof the Russian state waged an orchestrated campaign to destabilize the U.S. election to benefit GOP-candidate Trump.

“It’s an outright lie,” a CIA analyst divulged to True Pundit.

“There’s nothing definitive like that. There are leads from activity originating in Finland, Italy, Norway, Sweden, Britain, France, China and Russia.”

Multiple CIA sources are now denouncing the Washington Post for knowingly reporting misleading national security intelligence. Intelligence insiders said no one in the Agency or in the FBI, who is running at least one parallel inquiry, has ruled out a possible internal leak within the Democratic National Committee from actor(s) inside the United States who funneled private DNC emails to WikiLeaks.

Merkuh!!!! Springsteen cuts in now.

Just the guitars. None of the pesky lyrics.

Beyond the Palace hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard
The girls comb their hair in rearview mirrors and the boys try to look so hard
The amusement park rises bold and stark, kids are huddled on the beach in a mist
I wanna die with you, Wendy, on the street tonight in an everlasting kiss

Born to Run.

The top US Spy Agency refuses to support the CIA's Russian hacking claims. After the Clinton campaign failed to over turn the election with the recounts this new claim pops up, who's the dictator trying to steal an election?

Is that supposed to be good? I thought he was supposed to be building it through the lens of the American people. I thought he was opposed to the corporate agenda.
