Don't you love the way Russia rigged the election?

President-Elect Donald Trump's Pick of General Mad Dog Mattis Is His Best Choice Yet

Mattis, like Trump’s CIA choice of Rep. Mike Pompeo, is known to be a man who will have no problem standing up to Russia and Vladimir Putin. He is firmly on the side of Speaker Paul Ryan when it comes to the Russian leader and his aggression in Syria and on the borders of NATO.

The pick of Mattis, a huge supporter of traditional American defense doctrines such as support for NATO, Russian containment and opposition to the Iran nuclear ‘deal’, has reassured many national security minded conservatives anxious about Trump’s perceived closeness to Russia.

James Mattis, the "Warrior Monk"

So, we are told by the Left, Russia hacked the Democrats' emails, released them through Wikileaks, and ruined Hillary Clinton's chance to be the next president because Putin and Trump are business buddies and they both hate NATO. Or something.

In fact, they rigged the election so skillfully that Trump won the electoral college vote but Hillary won the popular vote. Now, that is some kind of talented computer hacking there!

And Putin, that clever bear, winds up with two of the most talented and knowledgeable opponents of Russian expansionism in the whole United States as the secretary of defense and the CIA director.

Those Russians are so devious.
