>>I am amused that you're citing The Nation. It's certainly a source I trust, but absolutely left-leaning. Since you do trust The Nation, I'll ask you to dig into their archives and read some of the recent articles by Ari Berman about voter suppression. It's one of the biggest issues we face going forward. (It's quite possible that voter suppression laws and actions in several states led to this election result.)

I know good sense when I see it and articles can be credible IMO regardless of the hosting site. It doesn't mean I trust the whole hosting site- any more that anybody who visits Breitbart trusts everything there.

As for voter suppression: Trump was vilified for suggesting voter fraud before the election. Suppression and fraudulent voting are equally morally repugnant IMHO in the attempt to subvert the will of the citizenry. But when Trump suggested voter fraud, he was undermining democracy and a terrible person.

Meanwhile, Putin seems to be enjoying himself. With MSM continuing to elevate anonymous leaks to holy writ and In the absence of credible attribution/evidence from NSA, CIA or FBI, even after Obama called for it- Putin gets to rub it in. Expect more of this. http://news.nationalpost.com/news/world/putin-says-russia-alone-in-believing-trump-would-go-all-the-way-denies-hacking-to-help-him
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
