Let’s Remember What “Fake News” REALLY Was
I‘ve seen it every time control of the White House changes hands.

Yes, Russia Hacks. And you sound like an idiot joking about it.

Will Trump Resolve His Business Conflicts Before His Inauguration? Doubtful.

Smart Businessmen don’t Lose a Billion Dollars, Mr Trump
According to Rudy Giuliani across several Sunday shows yesterday, the possibility Donald Trump may not have paid any income taxes for 18 years because he ran his company into the ground in 1995 makes him “a genius!”.

Wikileaks revealed that the DNC actively undermined the Sanders campaign and likely disenfranchised *millions* of voters, yet all the Media… led by the Clinton campaign… is focused on is “who did the leaking” with no concern for the revelations themselves. That misbehavior DEMANDS prosecution to ensure the integrity of future elections.
