Now they really don't have a scapegoat for when things go to shit, too.

Well, that's true, I'm just trying to look for some positives about that scenario. They'd probably get re-implemented Post-Trump if that happened.

The Donald mocks accusations of Russian meddling as a conspiracy theory.

Which is odd, because thus far he's been buying into any conspiracy theory that someone Tweeted to him.

Trump is going to need a Beria in order to purge the CIA and other institutions that dare imply that the magnanimous Kremlin, known for its benevolence, would execute such nefarious schemes.

All we really need to know is that Trump won, it was a yuge landslide, he had the biggest rallies, it was great. Believe me.

And the rallies are only going to get bigger, if history actually does provide a blueprint for what is about to happen.

Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

So... is there anything about Trump and the GOP so far that is not infuriatingly and blatantly horrible? Putin lackeys, crooks, bigots, corporate shills, short-sighted idiots...

More than half of Americans knew he was a serial self-contradictor, so there's no surprises here. The only question will be just how long folks will continue to delude themselves that they voted for someone who gives one single shit about them or their concerns.
