Trump's presidency is forever tainted because of Russian interference in US elections.
Russians interfered in US Election to Give Trump the Presidency.
Intel report: Putin directly ordered effort to influence election
FOX NEWS: “There were lots of ways Russia tried to sway our vote,” he continued. “He testified that Russia used cyber attacks to target the Democratic National Committee — we know that.
He said they also used propaganda and disinformation, including fake news. Fake news that the Kremlin commissioned and generated. In other words, a pack of lies packaged up as news of the day in an effort to saw the minds of the American electorate.”
“We don’t need a dictionary to figure out what he’s saying,” Smith insisted. “He’s saying, ‘Putin knew this, Putin directed this. This is all about Putin.'” The Fox News host agreed with Clapper’s assertion that Trump “disparaged” the U.S. intelligence community by siding with Russia, WikiLeaks and Julian Assange.
“The president-elect is with Julian Assange, who if he walked out the door would be arrested,” Smith said, “over the $62 billion a year American intelligence agencies and all their leaders.” “And then today, Trump said he’s a big fan of ‘intelligence,'” Smith noted.
“Apparently not this intelligence. He’s made that clear. Because this intelligence says that Vladimir Putin and the Russians tried meddling with the U.S. election to help him, Donald Trump, get elected.” “But why? Does Donald Trump not trust the intelligence agencies? Or is this a thank you to the Russians for all their help? We do not know. But it’s one of those.”

The bromance btwn these 2 is disturbing. Not to mention the repuglicans willingness to look away in the face of overwhelming evidence of cyber attack and interference in our democratic election process. They are such hypocrites!
David Remnick: On the morning of November 9th, Molotov’s grandson, Vyacheslav Nikonov, a member of the Russian Duma’s foreign-affairs committee, announced to the parliament, “Three minutes ago, Hillary Clinton conceded defeat in the American Presidential elections. And just this second Donald Trump began his speech as President-elect.” The Duma members cheered and applauded.
In the days to come, there were more declarations of acid satisfaction among the Russian élite. Dmitri Kiselyov, the host of “News of the Week,” a popular current-affairs show on state-controlled television, gloated over Trump’s victory and Barack Obama’s inability to prevent it. Obama, he said, was a “eunuch.” Trump was an “alpha male”—and one who showed mercy to his vanquished rival. “Trump could have put the blonde in prison, as he’d threatened in the televised debates,” Kiselyov said on his show. “On the other hand, it’s nothing new. Trump has left blond women satisfied all his life.” Kiselyov further praised Trump because the concepts of democracy and human rights “are not in his lexicon.” In India, Turkey, Europe, and now the United States, he declared, “the liberal idea is in ruins.”
There you have it, my friends. These are the people the current GOP admire and are thrilled to have support trump. People for whom the concepts of democracy and human rights are rejected.
If anyone thinks people who support trump are patriots, just read more about the thugs in Russia who are thrilled to have trump as their puppet in our American White House.
We Liberals are supposed to be sensitive to their feelings? I don't think we need to be "sensitive" to people who would betray America to spite Hillary Clinton. We now know what's important to the Goopers, and it isn't the welfare of American democracy.
Not Putin's Poodle, but Putin's Bitch -- Trump
Why did Putin work so hard to get Trump elected? Never before has the Russian despot been so deeply interested in electing a particular American presidential candidate. Putin's loathing of Hillary Clinton is well-documented, and he certainly wants to undermine President Obama and the international coalition that has imposed damaging sanctions on Russia for its annexation of Crimea from Ukraine, but it's clearly something more. Putin doesn't just want to defeat Clinton and Obama, he wants Trump, specifically, as president. Why?
Hard right former NSA staffer and now national security columnist John Schindler offers one obvious clue:

Old #NSA friend tells me that the term used by Kremlin higher-ups to describe Trump is severely unflattering, much worse than "our bitch".

After all, the single change to the Republican platform insisted upon by the Trump team was a reversal of the party's hard stance against Russian interference in Ukraine.
