That cartoon!

The likes of Hannity, Coulter and Palin suddenly adoring Assange and Wikileaks makes you despair

Things were completely different a few years back.
Back in 2010 Palin called "wikileaks a "shady organisation" and called for Assange to be "pursued with the same urgency as we pursue Al Qaeda and Taliban leaders".
Coulter said the leaks "harmed national seucirty". Hannity said "lives have been put in jeopardy" and "people may die".
Amazing how an election win makes them completely change their tunes on this.
Nicely doneBy the way, how has noone picked up yet on the angle of "The won't even say the words! They won't even say Radical Russian Inference"....
A 17 minute masterpiece from Cuomo. Even KellyAnne had difficulty squirming out of this.

Only reason the hacking of the poorly defended DNC is discussed is that the loss by the Dems was so big that they are totally embarrassed!12:03 pm · 7 Jan 2017
Gracious... presidential? Or like a petty child having a tantrum...
It's going to be an interesting few years
Won't sane heads prevail at some point?
When am I going to wake up?In a trump administration those heads will roll before they can prevail
At least Mattis seems to have some sense about him. Trump is trying to make an outright plutocracy it seems, what with him trying to appoint hedge fund managers and billionaires to run even the military.Everything going along smoothly:

You have a point there. It would mirror what Putin has done in Russia.It's looking more like a standard authoritarian patronage network, where the ruler surrounds himself with a network of elites to insulate his own power against potential challenges. The elites are given their roles under the implicit bargain that they protect him.
Actually had someone tell me yesterday when I pointed out how shit this transition is progressing "who cares? It's what Trump wants and we want Trump"The whole US public is being taken for a ride and half of them are going along willingly.

Disgusting
Every Trump voter has played a pivotal part in the destruction of this country and make no mistake about it, Trump Inc. will decimate this republic. His cabinat picks have been nothing more than a jackboot kick in the face to seventy years of social progress. The denial of a massive foreign power influencing the election when everything positively points in that direction is treasonous. The sexual assaults, the theft, the racism, the bigotry, the falsehoods, the disrespect and the fecking lunacy of it all. feck YOU America, I hope those who voted for this suffer the most.I can't understand how all this is being allowed relatively unquestioned? I mean, his appointments are some of the biggest criminals in the banking and oil sectors, completely unqualified to run a country but over qualified to embellish serious amounts of money or dish it all out to their rich friends and business partners. Then you have the outright lying about many serious situation, convincing people that the entire press is lying, and then you have family members involved in serious political briefings and business meetings. It really does seem as if the virtual cookie jar has just been opened and now everyone is in it for as much as they can get. I bet even the American public don't get the crumbs left at the bottom. Nothing, I mean ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about this transition has any professional feel about it, there is not one single feeling of it being a serious transition of a serious candidate wanting to change the country and make a serious difference. It all seems like an elaborate joke.
I find it quite ludicrous that all this is being allowed from the very top and nobody is able to do anything about it. Saying it is all bizarre is a huge understatement. If all this was going on in a third world country, then yeah, you could believe it and it would make sense, but it's not! The whole US public is being taken for a ride and half of them are going along willingly. It's so sad, so depressing and so very worrying. Let's not even mention or think about the G8. Feck me, this shit is loco!
feck YOU America, I hope those who voted for this suffer the most.
Fantastic journalism here.
It'll teach them to be more discerning with their votes next time. US politics will shift to the Left when they see how bad the visceral Right can be.Some of his supporters do come across as cnutish, I won't be shedding a tear for them either as they start to feel the effects of their vote. Be it genuine or protest vote...
