America's retaliation against Russian hacking.

I agree; our country is a mystery when it comes down to politics. I've been voting since I was 18, and I still don't understand our country's politics.
It got so confusing, I changed my registration to Independent.

That wouldn't have helped, Finn. The major donors who committed to donations in 2017 are now reneging. Good thing they hedged their bets and didn't contribute before the election, eh?

I pity the fools who didn't.

Easy CI. Choose a big lie that will hurt most of the populace than claim it will be good for them and continue to lie for 20 or 30 years until the people think the lie is true and vote for the lie rather than think about it and tell yourself wait a minute this is a lie and wont be good for me. It is the republican way.

Actually they probably could have dragged the thing out longer, but I think Hillary is now in a "F*ck it all!" state of mind.

Yeah, I can't blame her. They've already ripped off hundreds of millions and don't need more. Better to relax on the beach until the arrest warrant is executed.

There's still a couple of days for a blanket pardon.

What is daunting is that republicans who need health insurance are voting for the very people trying to take it away.

You should be telling this to the people in the inner cities, the very cities that have been controlled by the Dems for decades. They keep voting for the same party over and over again and falling for the big lie that the GOP is out to get them. Keep telling them it is the other parties fault, the party who has no power to control local policies, that is keeping them in poverty.

Can you provide factual evidence?

Can I provide evidence of no GOP control in the inner cities? Sure I can, look at the leaders of places like Chicago or LA or NY, Atlanta, New Orleans and any other bastion of the left leaning.

St. Louis: No GOP mayor since the
Chicago: 1931
LA: Had 1 GOP mayor since 1961 and that was in the 90's.
NY: Only 1 real GOP mayor since the 70's.
Atlanta: 1879
New Orleans: 1872
Denver: 1961
San Fran: 1964

There is your evidence.
