“I never said Russia did not meddle in the election, I said “it may be Russia, or China or another country or group, or it may be a 400 pound genius sitting in bed and playing with his computer.” The Russian “hoax” was that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia – it never did!” – Trump tweet 2-18-18
I grew-up in a very typical 1960’s and 1970’s new south suburban neighborhood with two styles of homes, split-levels and ranches. Dads worked, moms stayed home with the two kids, the air on Saturday’s was filled with hamburgers burning on backyard grills, and families piled into their station wagons on Sundays and went to Protestant churches. It was middle class utopia, cookie cutter hell.
Most of my neighbors and their kids were warm and friendly but like most communities there is always one black sheep family and our black sheep was the Alexander clan. Mr. Alexander was a supervisor for the power company. Mrs. Alexander was a high school prom queen fighting years and gravity with pounds of Mary Kay cosmetics and too tight clothes. The Alexander’s had three boys, spaced two years a part and when you fought one you got beat-up by all three.
Mr. Alexander was a tough, foul-mouthed ex-Marine that fought in Korea, drank Pabst Blue Ribbon beer, smoked unfiltered Pall Malls, named his dog Damn-it so he could scream “Damn-it quit licking your ass” and hated blacks, Jews and Communist which, in that era meant the Chinese and the Russians. A real sweet heart of a guy.
No big surprise but Mr. Alexander didn’t live to a ripe old age but if he had he would have been the poster child for the Deplorable nation. But I have wondered, how would this Communist hating racist have felt knowing that the Russians actively and systematically manipulated his thoughts, his words and his opinions. Better still, would he have admitted too it? And the man who Mr. Alexander would have supported and elected President blames everyone but the Russians, the country Mr. Alexander hated.
The evidence is very clear to me, the Russians disrupted and effected the outcome of our 2016 elections. They manipulated Trump, the Deplorables, and all of the Mr. Alexander’s in this country and guess what, they are still playing us and “our” President is doing nothing about it. Hell, Trump is inviting the Russians to the White House and the only reason we know about it is because the Russians tell us which is seriously scary bullshit. The sixty-four dollar question is this, why isn’t Trump doing anything about it? Why isn’t Trump supporting the sanctions against Russia that Congress enacted with a 98 to 2 vote? Why isn’t Trump calling Putin out for his role in undermining the U.S. elections. Why is Trump failing to act to protect our Democracy? Why is Trump blaming everyone but the Russians? Why?
For me the answer is very clear, the Russians own Trump, they have the goods on him. What I wonder is this, will it even matter to the Evangelicals or the Deplorables? It certainly hasn’t yet and the evidence, just the evidence the general public has access to, at least for me, is pretty damning. But for whatever reason, these patriots, these men and women who claim to love their country, men and women who have served this country are apparently okay with having a Putin puppet in the White House and I just don’t understand why.
“If it was the GOAL of Russia to create discord, disruption and chaos within the U.S. then, with all of the Committee Hearings, Investigations and Party hatred, they have succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. They are laughing their asses off in Moscow. Get smart America!” – Trump tweet 2-18-18
Ends and Beginnings 
Simple: Us deplorables don’t follow politics.

Your post was like an arrow to the heart of the matter: too many Americans have apparently forgotten or never learned Cold War history, nor do they have any concept of the global dynamics of power. This is as serious as it gets. The president and his lackeys’ refusal to acknowledge Russian interference in our election is treason. They are NOT putting America first; rather, they are weakening our global status!

Not only all that you pointed out, but did anyone else notice the news report that tRumpsky called Putin to offer his sympathy and condolences for the plane crash that happened on the 11th? (If he could have, he probably would have flown over to Russia so he could console his buddy in person.)
Yet he seems unable to do anything but grinningly pose for a “thumbs up” photo shoot after the recent school tragedy. And offers little else than “thoughts and prayers” for the victims of recent U.S. storms.
What a lummox we have for a “leader.”

Motto of this post… Writer hates everything American, loves communists, doesn’t know the USSR is over, and has evidence no one else can find on meddling that was, summed up, a release of Hillary’s emails on the criminal actions of the DNC. This writer sees something wrong with all that.

Well hello crazy, racist, dumb-ass and I assume white Trumper. Welcome to my blog. Congratulations to you for being able to pull your head of Sean Hannity’s or whatever other fat, white alt-right ass you are curled-up in long enough to read what I have written and for your very feeble attempt to string enough letters and words together to compose a rambling and incoherent statement. I am sure in your sick, small, narrow mind you made sense, hey just like your orange, immoral savior and we all know THAT is all that really matters, that you THINK you sound smart. And as long as you think you sound smart you can remain a legend in your small mind.
Now that you have vented, now that you have said your VERY VERY little piece, crawl back-up into your Daddies ass and rest. I am sure trying to write that many sentences at one time was extremely HARD.
Thanks for visiting dumb-ass. I hope you won’t have to suffer much longer.

Hello lying Christ denying commie Israel – Satan lover. Fox news owned by Christ denying Rupert Murdoch – another liar of your tribe to control the opposition voice ( truth) . I dont watch.

By the way, anytime you want to sign a waiver and step into the ring with me, I’ll make you hurt big time – fat ass. Here’s another Russian story for you – since you love FOX

Well hello, welcome back. You know Jesus was a Jew don’t you? He was born a Jew, lived as a Jew, worshiped as a Jew and wait for it, died as a Jew. So if you are a real “Christian” you worship, say it with me, a Jew. And here is the really fun part, your Jesus, that brown guy that lived 2,000+ years ago looked more like Barack Obama and Al Sharpton than Donald Trump. Just a fun fact for you. And I realize your caveman instincts require you, hell it might even be a state law where you live, to tell someone who pokes you in the chest to “step into to the ring” but honestly folks like you are like dog shit on the bottom of my shoe, yes its ugly, sure it stinks, but I can make it disappear with a hose of water.
For future reference, that means for use at a later date, you couldn’t put enough brain cells or words together to “struck a nerve” with me. This is entertaining until it gets intellectually boring and based on your oh so cerebral comeback of “your spineless soul before its cast into the fire with Satan” (do you attend the Westboro Baptist Church?) I am sorry to say, we have reached that point. Have another beer, take a shower at some point, try not to pick your nose and eat it, or scratch your ass and smell your fingers in public and have a wonderful deplorable day.
