Time to Start Labeling tRump for what He Appears to be - a Commie [View all]

Given the now confirmed ties of his campaign manager to Russia via Ukraine payoffs, and now the hacking being linked to investigation of his relationship, Trump appears to be the exact thing scumbags like McCarthy and John Wayne feared/accused others of... a Soviet sympathizer with direct ties to Russia. Who would he serve more, the U.S., or Putin's wannabe Soviet resurgence?

How any jingoist or veterans would support him after this is beyond me, except that they use no logic in determining their allegiance. He would have been a pariah in the 50's. Time to make him one now, IMO.
