I Absolutely feel that the 2018 GE was stolen planetc. Whether it was cyber-hacking (Courtesy of tRump's boy toy putin tang), to GOP-led voter suppression/disfranchisement to our OWN FBI getting way too involved with Hillary Clinton and that trumped-up email situation, and per Pres. Kennedy etc., etc., etc., we've seen the FBI and our own CIA in action before.

I mean, good Lord, the Warren Commission wants us all to believe that the 35th president of the United States of America was assassinated by a lone hack in a book suppository over 200 feet away with diminishing marksman skills, a rickety rifle and a magic bullet while he (President Kennedy) was in a moving presidential motorcade?

Yeah, I'll just leave that Warren Commission "fantasy" right there
