Gambit

With 7.6 billion Homo sapiens on our planet Earth, it is almost impossible to imagine all the nuance of behaviors that we humans exhibit. They run the gambit of gifted, guileful, gluttonous, ghoulish, greedy, generous, gleeful, grumpy, gracious, gregarious and gratuitous conducts ... and then some. Next time we'll work on "h".

A Chess Question

Putin's Russia had its way with Obummer for eight painful years ... beating him at every move. (One wag said that they were  playing chess while he was playing checkers.) Now the Democrats are claiming that the Ruskies hacked their e-mails in order to keep Hellary from winning the presidency. The obvious question is: Why would a continuation of Obummer's ineptitude and lax security that would still occur under Hellary not be in Russia's best strategic interest? And therefore why would they want an unknown player, Trump, to prevail as president? Particularly since he will check many of their gambits (like the Iran nuclear deal) and has sworn to rebuild America's hegemony? Makes no sense to me ...

Conclusion: very often when the Democrats accuse the Republicans of something, it is the Democrats who are, in fact, guilty. I strongly suspect that this Russian involvement in Trump's election to be a bit of liberal-concocted fake news ... with the purpose of discrediting Trump's presidency.
