1 in 37,249 chance that the same nation Trump asked to hack Clinton, then hacked Clinton.

“Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing." - Donald Trump, July 27, 2016

Trump could have chosen any one of 194 nations to try to hack Hillary Clinton's emails, but he asked Russia.

That is a 1 in 194 chance.

By chance alone, what is the likelihood that the same nation that Trump chose, should be trying to hack Hillary Clinton's emails that same day?

1 in 194 of that 1 in 194.

Trump chose one specific nation to hack Hillary Clinton's emails, and the one nation he chose just happened to be the nation that did that.

That is a 1 in 37,249 chance. Quite a coincidence.

UK Front Pages - The Ego has Landed as Trump undermines British PM and Embarrasses America

"The gutless white supremacist who received five draft deferments, mocked POWs..."

Trump's 10-point personal guide to negotiating world peace (every point is a YUGE mistake)

Trump’s 10-point personal guide to negotiating world peace (every point is a YUGE mistake)

1/ First of all, threaten “fire and fury like the world has never known” and create a crisis that means others have to step in to prevent nuclear war. I think I’m very good at that.

2/ Make it all about me! I am the only one who can do this. I’m the most important man on the planet. I will ignore the wishes of neighboring nations that would be most affected. They don’t have to be part of this. I need to get all the credit here.

3/ Boast that I should get a Nobel Prize. My base will love that! However, it means I look even more like a loser if I end up not achieving anything. That means the other side will know I will make concessions.

4/ Rip up the Iran deal because it isn’t good enough. That means any deal I make in NK has to be even better. It also shows that you can’t trust America when it comes to nuclear deals.

5/ Get my top adviser to go on TV and say Chairman Kim can end up dead and be dragged through the streets like Gadaffi. That will make me look real tough! However, I don’t know why, but suddenly there’s no meeting!

6/ Beg that we still meet, because I am going to look stupid otherwise. Shame I now look desperate, but that is all part of my art of the deal. That is where I excel when it comes to negotiation - looking desperate!

7/ Tell everyone I am the greatest deal maker in the world. However, people are starting to believe my own crap. I need to control expectations by saying this is only a “get to know you” meeting.

8/ Have a one-to-one meeting with interpreters only because then I can say the Chairman agreed to all my demands even if he didn’t. I have a record of misquoting people and I am great at it! By the way, I don't need to prepare. Like trade, it's really, really easy.

9/ Show my strength by bullying America’s best friends and insulting them. Divide America from its allies - that will make the Chairman think I am really tough.

10/ Hurl insults via Twitter at those who say I will fail. Do this hours before the meeting, then if I do fail I will really look like the loser. I have made this all about winning and losing, and now I cannot let the world think I lost, I will have to make some serious behind-closed-doors, secretive deal making to make sure the Chairman makes me look good.

If you ever need to negotiate world peace, follow my example. My business record and my TV ratings alone show I deserve the Nobel Peace Prize.

What would you like to say if you met Trump?

Suppose you met Trump and had the opportunity to say something to him. What would you like to say?

What is the point of Jake Tapper?

He just sits there while Kudlow calls Trudeau a back stabber and a betrayer. Our relationships with our allies are at the lowest point in most of our lifetimes because of Trump, and Tapper just sits there while a Trump spokesman spews out propaganda. Passive media figures like Tapper are the reason we got Trump in the first place. What is the point of Jake Tapper?

Fareed Zakaria gives Steve Bannon a 60 minute platform - largely unchallenged.

CNN does it again, gives a racist 60 minutes to explain why Trump and Bannon policies are so good for everyone in America, including minoriies. Zakaria - the so-called "intellectual" who said "this is the day Trump became President" when Trump ordered the dropping of the mother of all bombs.

Why don't Democratic lawmakers hold a press briefing/conference each week to hold Trump to account?

It seems Democrats are having trouble getting the message out about how bad Trump is.

I suggest -

Gather together Democratic lawmakers.
Hold a weekly or twice-weekly press event.
Provide a summary of Trump's lies and the damage he has done since the last briefing.
Bring on large groups who are affected by Trump's actions, example people who have lost healthcare or dreamers and their families.
Trash his Tweets.
Throw down challenges to Trump - questions about his lies that he will be unable to answer.
Maintain continuous themes with examples - for example - Trump is corrupt. He's a liar. He is damaging America. He is callous.
Lay out the Democratic alternative.
Make the events controversial, big productions to attract maximum media exposure.
Try to get the media to talk about things that need to be talked about - too much is overlooked, and most people are unaware of how bad Trump is.

Why isn't something like this happening? Trump's approval has increased. That means he is fooling more people without an effective opposition. We shouldn't let that happen.
