Hillary personally\u00a0tried to interfere in Russia\u2019s election when she publicly questioned the integrity of Russian parliamentary elections in 2011.<\/p>\n<p>What really happened here is that the DNC was embarrassed in the worst possible way.\u00a0 They were caught red handed (pun intended) stealing the primary election from Bernie Sanders.\u00a0 They were exposed as being incredibly stupid. The Russians didn\u2019t exactly pull this off with some sophisticated electronic hack.\u00a0 They sent fishing e-mails that should have been recognized by eight year old.\u00a0 Senior Democrats, like John Podesta, took the bait; hook, line and sinker and gave away their user ids and passwords.\u00a0 Brilliant!<\/p>\n<p>A lot of people are expressing fear that Putin will dominate Trump.\u00a0 The evidence is clear that the opposite is happening.\u00a0 Putin made some noise about racketing up his nuclear arsenal.\u00a0 Trump shut him down with the following twitter:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/newsgraphics\/2016\/12\/22\/trump-nuclear-tweet\/a92addeafafef2a57f38430176608e414e351979\/tweet.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"423\" height=\"181\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Translation, for liberal Democrats, who don\u2019t understand this stuff:\u00a0 \u201c<strong><em>Have at it Vlad.
