Trump Jr. Says He Wanted Russian Dirt to Determine Clinton’s ‘Fitness’ for Office

Just a Canadian chiming in here. Americans are totally missing the issue with all of this. The problem is that 49% of Americans voted for this fuckwad. The big issue isn't that DT Jr was collaborating or attempting to collaborate with the Russians, it's not that Donald Trump is unstable and delusional, it's not that he's kind of dumb, it's not that he's a poor orator, it's not that he either doesn't understand the importance of immediately denouncing white supremacists, it's not the gerrymandering screwy electoral college.

The real problem is that 49% of you voted for this. You guys have such a big fucking problem on your hands and you're trying to treat the symptoms. Yes Trump needs to go, but the task of managing the indescribable stupidity of 49% of your populace is something I can't even fathom.

Up here Trump and his family were widely and overlywhelmingly identified as dangerous morons - before the election. And the same with the rest of the world. Statistically, the only two countries where he had a chance over Clinton were the US and, you guessed it, Russia.

Who is more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows? Because at the beginning of November, 49% of your country were complete fools.

Treat the root cause, not the symptoms.
