If you are not already apoplectic that Russian hackers, according to the CIA, meddled in the recent presidential campaign to game the system in Donald Trump’s favor, then consider what impossibly steep recompense Vladimir Putin will demand for making Trump the most powerful person in the world.
Of course, Trump thinks he’s all-powerful because his flimsy ego, which is more suited for poorly attended victory tour stops than daily intelligence briefings, simply can’t entertain an alternate narrative. He’s also busy stacking his Cabinet with Putin-approved appointees, like secretary of state nominee Rex Tillerson, ExxonMobil’s chief executive. Trump is too vain to recognize that he’s nothing more than a Kremlin chew toy, an easily manipulated means to Putin’s nefarious ends.
It’s gut-check time in America.
During the campaign, American intelligence officials told the White House that they had “high confidence” that the Russian government was responsible for hacking the Democratic National Committee’s computer servers. Somehow, the likely fact that a foreign country, one with whom the United States has a historically adversarial relationship, was messing with our electoral process was treated like a bad subplot in a drawn-out melodrama. Even after Trump said last July, “Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 e-mails that are missing,” in a reference to Hillary Clinton’s deleted e-mails, the story found no traction. In retrospect, it’s as if Trump was flaunting his shadowy connections.

Putin can’t even get jets to land on his one dinky carrier but people (on both the left and the right!!!) somehow think he is this grand wizard over the world. Time to get real and we have a deal.
Now that’s a man.
This commie, affirmative action bitch makes Sheila Jackson Lee seem smart
” . . . poorly attended victory tour . . ..” Really? Really?
Trump is still attracting more people AFTER the election than Clinton ever did BEFORE the election!
This article is an unmitigated pile of fabricated bovine excrement. A perfect example of fake news.
These people have really lost it. They are deranged in their disbelief of the results of the election that was a sure win for the Marxists.
Seems to me that a person with a “flimsy ego” would be the opposite of “feeling all-powerful”.
Just because Obama is scared shitless of Putin, doesn’t mean that Trump is.
Chick, yer behind the curve. The new narrative is that the FBI did it.
Full throttle, brain mushing, caca.
Most of my life I saw the libs love Russia. Remember the old press secretary for obama?....had a magazine cover, wife, kids and him in kitchen.
The wife used to work in Russia. They had Russian ‘art’ on their kitchen walls. I guess they will have to re-do their kitchen now.
fake news
Am I living in some alternate universe? Or have I really gone off the deep end and just don’t know it? Reading crazies like this everyday makes me wonder, because surely so many other people can’t be this nuts. Wake me up!
The Democrats are so worked up over their Russian hack conspiracy theory. But what is it they allege the Russians did by “hacking” our election? They don’t dispute that the emails are legit, so they are accusing the Russians of the dastardly deed of exposing the truth about them. Yet nobody even bothers to call them on that.
They didn’t have a problem with Vlad being Queen Putt’s Pimp Daddy.

While I'd agree that this particular idiot, and most on the Left, are quite detached from reality, I don't think that the term "Mad Dog" should be used in this context - at least not for the next 4 or 8 years. You see, we have our own "Mad Dog" - and to me that term now means someone who pulls out all the stops to protect and defend all that is good and decent, someone who will chop up an enemy into so many pieces that you'd be hard-pressed to identify them.
How about reserving "Bat $hit crazy" for the TDS people? Alternatively, "Barking at the Moon crazy" would do well. I'm open to suggestions, but "Mad Dog" is out for the time being in discussing crazy people.
THIS is Mad Dog:
