1. There is clearly a symbiotic relationship between the GOP and Putin.

2. So, trump launched his investigation into voter fraud to cover for the Russians

Right?

3. Forgot about that..

Good point.. Who knows? maybe that and he couldn't stand that Hillary had 3 million more votes than he did.

4. It will be very interesting if it comes out that his downfall comes out of his ultra fragile ego

Just think of all the times he’s put himself in legal jeopardy because he cannot ABIDE criticism of any kind

Instead of a fight or flight lizard brain response, he’s wired for fight or SLIGHT!

Narcissus and Echo revisited, indeed

He hears everything and seems unable NOT to respond

In baseball they call his affliction “rabbit ears”

7. I would love it.. if he

finally falls because of his uncontrollable ego.

You know it's going to be some petard he got himself hoisted on .

8. Love that reference!

About the extent of my WS “expertise”

[world wide wally]

5. But his investigation would only prove that Hilary got more votes

The invstigation was simply a smokescreen

[Cha]

6. Definitely a smokescreen.. I think

it was also to satisfy his brainwashed sucker base .. that he's the winner of the popular vote, too.

9. The GOP and Russia love to suppress the vote
