Are the Russians slowly going to string him along, then when he cannot help them anymore, just burn him? Like, release some secret material on the guy? I'm sure they like the current commotion, but making him into the Manchurian Candidate would cause all sorts of problems with allies and bring the country's reliability into question.

Why did Obama wait til long after the election to do anything about the Russians hacking into the DNC? Isn't it kinda a big deal when a foreign country throws our presidential election?

Of course that's all it is. Another faux beef to attract eyeballs. It'll work, too. Watch the ratings jump on next week's Apprentice.

Yes, I expect that the New York office of the FBI will just sit around watching anti-Clinton documentaries and high-fiving one another over how great they made Amurka again.

So... no change there.

It's just too bad "President" Trump won't be able to pardon him of his sins (since he hasn't been charged here in the good ol' USA), though I'm sure he'll try.

He was also incredible as Casey in Chuck. Off camera he's a certified asshole, however.

My only caveat about G.W. is that I've always thought he was a figurehead and that Cheney and Rumsfeld were the tandem president. Bush is a dolt. That's what I thought about Reagan, as well. He had early stage dementia and was a puppet for the National GOP. Just my opinion. Doesn't make the damage any less devastating, for sure. Also, makes me worry even more about Trump because I think of him as an out-of-control Frankenstein.

What we have here is a failure of imagination, by the end of his first term I have little doubt that Sweden will be considering military options against the US

Sudden Gobsmacking Revelation! "Make America Great Again" wasn't Trump's campaign slogan. It was the job description of the poor schmoe who gets elected after him.
