Stuff you just can't make up

Deputy Prime Minister, out. Illegally elected.
Though given he is in the lower house and a damn safe seat he will no doubt win the bye-election.

Four of the six Senators, out.
One safe because it appears the learned judges couldn't make heads nor tails of Italian citizenship laws and thought it unfair to expect a mere politician to. (Or so I hope )

It seems all governments are more or less populated by clowns these days. It's far between politicians that actually work for the good of the public and even farther between civil servants that aren't out to protect their little fiefdoms with any means possible.

I love Juice Medias satire videos on the Australian government, but now it seems some of the politicians are getting a bit aggravated and going after them: Honest Government Advert: War on Satire

Look at all of the better than circumstantial evidence. Why else would Russia spend that much money on 3,000+ American ads?

Then there are the Twitter accounts.

And the story just keeps on going.

Temper it all with this and your eyes should see, lest completely blind and naively jaded. American citizens used to be a little less gullible.

What is also obvious to me, is that even if evidence is found, chances are good that the American people will never be told. It taints the election process too much and if the American people lose faith in the system, it fails. Much more so than the Recount fiasco ever threatened to do. The truth will never come out. But if one has eyes, one sees.

I have never understood standing behind ones choice of presidents out of sheer arrogance and pride, but this is much bigger than any president, or ones pride.

Wake up and smell the tainted coffee. And the tainted beans.

There is no shame in placing country above party.

Is there no end to this infantile bullshit from the right? Seriously?

The entire US intelligence community has concluded with high confidence the Russians launched a cyber and intelligence warfare campaign directed at disrupting the US election and swinging the vote to Trump. Whose campaign and associates were *infested* with people with highly suspect ties and contacts to Russia and spent the last year having lie after lie about it exposed

"We need to investigate Hillary Clinton! Because... reasons!"
