Did Donnie publicly admit that he abuses his position to obstruct justice?

Trump now explicitly says that he's targeting Brennan and others for their roles in the Russia investigation.

"I call it the rigged witch hunt," Trump told the WSJ. "And these people led it!" He added: "So I think it's something that had to be done."

Two 11 year olds crack and hack the Florida Voting system in under 15 minutes.

And 33 other of the 39 6-17 year old participants in the Hackathon made it within 30 minutes

One wonders how fast russian hackers can do it ... perhaps Donnie can ask Putin during their next meeting

Okay so apparently everybody knows what a reinsurer is but me. Thanks everyone!

Nah, no big deal. I'm in the insurance industry so I should know something about this.

Technically he said there were good people on both sides. Honestly, I doubt he is a neo-Nazi though he is definitely trying to play the dog whostle game (very hard) and he still is with his condemning "all kinds of racism". And while I do agree any group can be racist the right does try to play up the anti-white racism angle almost to the absurd.

I do wish the left would be smarter than that and stop playing the identity card so hard. They could lead by action and not fall into obvious pitfalls.

Maybe you got the idea that conservatives play up anti-white racism from the NYTs who hires you if you are racist against whites.
