Even if that enemy is Putin? Even if the tactics are cyber warfare on our democratic institutions? I guess I shouldn't be surprised by the right who has forsaken everything this country has ever stood for by election the reality TV clown. Open treason like this is hard to swallow. - - - Updated - - - You accept every piece of info that comes from right wing hate media and Russian backed wiki leaks as gospel. The CIA, though? Nope. Good to know you're ok with treason and subversion from a foreign power on our democratic institutions. - - - Updated - - - Let's try both being upset about both things. Right wing America is giving tacit approval to treason and subversion by their deflection of this.
I don't believe them. http://www.cnn.com/2003/US/Northeast/05/10/ny.times.reporter/ They make up stuff. I didn't vote for the clown man, but I'm getting really tired of the MSM dissing Trump, just because he's a Republican.
Grow accustomed to it, because for the next eight years just as the MSM issued Barack Obama a free press pass across the board that same MSM is going to be hammering Trump with everything they have got. The irony is palpable whenever the MSM even bothers to claim to be politically neutral anymore. Only thirty percent of the population buys into that at this point in time, and I'd be willing to bet that even that core number is going to continue shrinking as the Leftist-Loyal MSM continues politically whoring for the Dem Party.
No. We should put it down to your gullibility and willing naivete. We've yet to see a single concrete shred of evidence that the Russians hacked into the DNC (despite repeated claims) and even if we did see that (IF) there is nothing like sitting down to the reading material in the Clinton and DNC emails that were hacked for an eye opening good read. It was the democrat's own filthy laundry that came tumbling out into public domain that did in the crooked Clinton campaign. Have fun during the Trump administration.
So now that Hillary has lost dems are concerned about Russian hacking. When she was ahead in the polls, not so much.
And you'd rather have the corruption. Why did Lil Debby lose her DNC chair? Why did Donna Barzille lose her job at CNN? Because whatever was leaked is true and was never denied. Even Chelsea knew what they were doing was wrong and said so. So make up your minds. Was it the Russians, fake news stories, social media or mysogyny which the female electorate is accused of being guilty of. Or was it because it was a dirty campaign against Bernie, by a dirty corrupt DNC. Those super delegates are there to insure that the DNC will choose the nominee, not the electorate. Or was it because Hillary ran such a poor campaign she chose not to visit Mid Western states?
I was wondering, anyone know how much the Saudi's and other foreign interests contributed to Trumps campaign I mean really, if receiving a couple million every time you burped nonsense in a room full of oil barons isn't influencing "The" election, then I'll eat my "Make America Great again" Camo ball cap! The hypocrisy on the left is stunning!
Red China? When did I say that? You have the wrong guy. And I make no excuses for the Russians releasing info via wikileaks, I'm simply not mad about it.
That's true. However if the Russians had a hand in the hacking I feel something in response has to be done otherwise Putin will take it all as a free pass to pull the stunt again. What should we do? I'll have to leave that decision up to smarter and more experienced people.
A bit of hypocrisy going on here? While corruption is always bad, isn't it wrong to defend a foreign nation performing illegal activities and influencing an election. To me that is worse than at home corruption. We can deal with at home corruption, but not so much on a foreign criminal nation fixing elections.
Of course corruption is wrong. I notice you didn't denounce a foreign gov't helping to rig our election process. You ok with that? If so, it reeks of hypocrisy. And if a foreign country is out to rig the election, would they not also alter things to make things look worse? - - - Updated - - - No. Those were GWB's intelligence angencies. Are the leaders of those agencies still the same?
First, you don't know that's what happened - fake news is telling us that's what happened. Wheres the corroboration? Wheres this magical proof that we've been hearing about? For that matter wheres Stein and all the money she collected? Aside from that here's the meme worthy truth of this. The DNC is pissed off that Russia might have "manipulated this election" by exposing emails which shows the DNC was actually manipulating this election. Come on, you've just got to laugh at that.
Why stop there? Anyone registered to a party should also have the right to vote withdrawn. Partisans would simulate low IQ voters. Partisans are some of the most dumbed down voters ever.
True, but leftists are blind to irony and hypocrisy; which is both how and why they produce or practice both of those all the damn time.
Actually they were holdovers from the Clinton Administration. The Obama Administration Intelligence Agencies assured us that Benghazi was a protest over an internet video and failed to inform Obama of the rise of ISIS and then they they were the JV team. Anonymous Leaks to the WashPost About the CIAs Russia Beliefs Are No Substitute for Evidence. Needless to say, Democrats still eager to make sense of their election loss and to find causes for it other than themselves immediately declared these anonymous claims about what the CIA believes to be true, and, with a somewhat sweet, religious-type faith, treated these anonymous assertions as proof of what they wanted to believe all along: that Vladimir Putin was rooting for Donald Trump to win and Hillary Clinton to lose and used nefarious means to ensure that outcome. That Democrats are now venerating unverified, anonymous CIA leaks as sacred is par for the course for them this year, but its also a good indication of how confused and lost U.S. political culture has become in the wake of Trumps victory. Sad! https://theintercept.com/2016/12/10...ussia-beliefs-are-no-substitute-for-evidence/
It seems that those that fall on the Con side of the political spectrum would like to throw out rule of law in cases that help tilt the tide to their side. It is why I call most all partisans hypocrites. It's bad when against them and good when it help them.
Please explain where the hypocacy lies. I suspect you won't be able to. And American political party trying to influence an election...... That's what they're supposed to do!!!!! It's their job. For a foreign power to try and influence an American election, That's an act of war.
Russia is just one of many countries that hack into everything. The establishment is putting out the "russia is the devil, and mad Hillary lose" talking point and the drones are parroting it. You have no proof it was russia. Maybe it was anonymous? Who ever it was, we owe a bit of gratitude for preventing the Gazis from starting a Russian american war. Its also funny watching drones that went to the mat defending Hillary and her pay to play server that was hacked by at least 5 intelligence agencies suddenly care about hackers.
