The Russians have probably hacked Democrat servers, but wouldn't they also have hacked into the Republicans and Trump's business systems?

Almost certainly, but they weren't looking to sabotage Trump.

Exactly, they will just use any intel collected when it suits them to do so.

I would be more inclined to say "oh ffs!" had not the presidential candidate and by tomorrow the most powerful individual in the world at the helm of the world's dominant superpower not said that he wanted to ban all future Muslims from entering the country until it (or they; it was never clear) could figure out "what the hell was going on."

And that seems like a false dichotomy to me. That you might dislike Trump's rhetoric does not mean that it makes any sense to pursue a worthless protest which only has a the benefit of supporting misogynistic form of control.

Incredible that kids of that age have an opinion on the issue, but apparently it is being discussed by kids at our granddaughter's primary school.

Children aren't stupid, just inexperienced.

It is adults who are stupid; they should have the experience to know better - about anything not just politics!
