McCain: Russian cyberintrusions an 'act of war'

Would you like more?

Well, the point was that fuming, screaming at the television/monitor, smashing keyboard keys... isn't sensible behavior.  Regardless who it is or what political slant triggers it.

 

Pointing that out doesn't make a person a Trump supporter or a Republican.

 

Is that why you quoted the sacrosanct John McCain?  Did you think it wuz gunna be a BOOYAH Mic Drop moment?

All you guys that want Trump taken down should be careful what you wish for. Given that politicians in trouble like to create a diversion, Trump has the ultimate diversion if pushed to it by using the almost universal demands to "do something about Assad" to start a conflict in Syria, and then all Americans will be sorry as the body bags start coming home again and the economy goes down the toilet.

He's already making noises about "doing something" and most of congress is apparently pushing for it.

Could someone just please explain to me, in what way the Russians actually sabotaged the elections.

Seriously?

This far into this and you're still asking?

Amazing.

A mountain of evidence points to a single fact: Russia meddled in the U.S. presidential election of 2016.

In both classified and public reports, U.S. intelligence agencies have said Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered actions to interfere with the election. Those actions included the cyber-theft of private data, the placement of propaganda against particular candidates, and an overall effort to undermine public faith in the U.S. democratic process.

"Sabotaged" is far too subjective.  For many others, it was Mission Accomplished and that includes the Short Sellers.

 

But so far, President HooHaa is turning out to be fairly easy to maneuver.  Apparently, all you need to do to make him back down is suggest you intend to fight back.  Then let the US Media and Twitter do the rest.

 

I bet really rich Lefties knew all this though, and hedged their bets campaign contributions accordingly.   Harvey Weinstein was just a warning shot to the others.

The article says, it is highly unlikely the interference had any influence on the election, and there is no evidence to show it had any effect to the outcome of the election. 

It also says, it would be farfetched to say that the Trump campaign broke any laws. It also says even if he colluded to spread propaganda, that in itself would not be against the law. 

Apparently, the Russians sent fb posts that belittled hilary,that might have made people not like her. So what. It's hilarious. I recieved pictures of trump with a pig face. 

They did not interfere with the voting system. He won the most votes fair and square. 

The smear campaign against him was horrendous before the election and the Democrats have continued to undermine his presidency since. Hilary lost imo, because she started raving on about all the things she was going to do for and women's rights. Imo she started to lose the male vote, because she focused on one group. She gained in the women's vote, but alienated the male vote, with her derogatory remarks towards men. 

Nothing to do with the Russians.
