What are the most important policy options for the united states given the election results? Economy, economy, economy, economy, and a couple other things.
Think about the scary nuclear catastrophe.
What are our "policy options?"
The military industrial complex. Has the media always done these games to get people to focus on their preferred ideas. No one gives a rat's ass about nuclear war but suddenly, after Hillary's fingers on the button, it is suddenly a key issue and has everyone on Russia, thinking about nukes and the economy? what is the economy?
The MIC is and has been the de facto growth vehicle of the US economy for nearly a century. BO is just their tool, and he's making sure to set the stage before he exits. This is of course what everything is about - making Trump compliant to the program any way they can.
They are using every framing act they can to sell the "Russia Hack" angle to discredit the wikileaks data for use in their future criminal cases...
Committing fraud is a criminal act... fraud was disclosed by wikileaks... they have to try to spin it that it was "Russia!" all along and get it all thrown out...
I guaranty that if they are prosecuted civilly/criminally for election fraud they will plead the wikileaks info is Russian foreign intelligence and should be thrown out...
Then there is this.
