Scratch that. More like Bush's drunk driving scandal. It's never proven definitively, it changes no one's mind, and it goes away after January 20th.

Not sure I agree with you, because this appears to be coming from CIA sources. They make a much more dangerous enemy than disgruntled Democrats.

That's different. I'm responding more to people saying this is such a seismic news development, it's going to get him impeached from the get-go, or even keep him from taking office on Jan. 20th. It's not gonna happen, at least not with this issue. There's no specificity in the accusations, and it changes nothing. If they really had the goods on him, we would've heard about it long before today.

Everyone seems to think if they wish hard enough, he won't be president. We've had nothing but 18 months of bitter disappointments. Let's not set ourselves up for another one.

This isn't going away, but in the long run it probably won't change anything.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren: Donald Trump’s Treasury secretary pick Steve Mnuchin is the “Forrest Gump” of America’s financial woes:

By the way, Mnuchin was an executive producer (probably meaning he wrote some checks) on several films, such as The Lego Movie and Mad Max: Fury Road.

My sister and both donated to Jill Stein's recount fund last night. I donated again this morning. This could all end up being for naught, but the irregularities in the voting margins in key swing states is just too blatant to ignore. Stein being the one to lead the charge keeps Hillary'/ hands clean, whether or not Podesta or someone else in the Hillary camp has anything to do with this (I honestly don't think they do).

It gave me a quiet bit of pleasure to make the donation, something that's been absent from my life in general since the night of November 8th.

Happy Thanksgiving, friends.
