    I love the idea that a handful of Russians somehow "tricked" millions of Americans into voting for someone they wouldn't have voted for otherwise. Fucking hilarious. I'm glad they got found out though. Hopefully this will be the bone that gets thrown to the Democrats to finally shut them up. It just boggles my mind that liberals are still flabbergasted that someone would refuse to vote for Hillary Clinton. They must have somehow been brainwashed to not elect such an upstanding individual like.... Hillary Clinton:biglaugh:
    Get out of here with that shit. You lost. And not only did you lose, you gave us Donald Trump as a president because you somehow managed to produce an even shittier candidate. Quite a feat. You don't see fuck ups of that scale very often.

    I'm confused by this argument. Why is it hypocrisy?

    The goal of war is to win, not for everyone to come out equal. If we shoot one of the enemy, are we supposed to let the enemy shoot one of ours so that things are fair?

    Russians are evil motherfuckers. They even cheat when it won't help. Watched too much WWF as children I suspect.

    So all in all, Russia is on notice for the upcoming elections. That’s a good thing.

    My personal beliefs are that the 13 Russians really didn’t do much to sway the election though. That had more to do with Trump hitting democrat strongholds with many rallies, while Clinton laid back and relaxed.

    The democratic candidate was so bad that even Bernie Sanders could have beat her, if not for the primaries being rigged against him.

    We, meaning the US have been interfering with the Russians for about 70 years now. Openly with Voice of America and Radio Free Europe.
    Covertly with the CIA and any other means possible.

    The problem now is, whining like a jilted bitch when they play too. What the hell happened to the Democrats to suddenly lose their cool over the game? They just put up the worst candidate in maybe two centuries, that anyone could help bring down. It was not a break through success by the Russians.

    Ah, so you agree the Russians helped Trump win the election. Good, that's a start on the road to reality.

    As to whether it was a breakthrough or not, what prior president needed help from the Russians?

    Welcome to the new cyber world of espionage.....no internet 70 years ago ...the game has changed...so rather than get to the root of the cyber attacks on our democracy...you'd rather throw softballs at the democrats...? whew...........this is a bit different from radio free America or even Hanoi Hannah....Russians financing our political rallies is something I'd like to see a wall built around...fact is the politicians our age Marz...aren't that skilled with modern internet security....this is a transition period from old cold war spying ....just imagine if an enemy could use the internet to shut off the power grid...fair play? Seeing a problem and addressing it seems to be the correct path....the whining I'm getting here is denial....and it's not coming from the losers in the election as much as the winning campaign....unless you think tax evasion and money laundering through Cypress banks and Russian mobsters is just business as usual....follow the money....so far it's led to the capital of Russian mob banking...Cypress..it then connects to Trump and Kushner properties....remember when Trump said he had no business dealings with Russians? You still believe that now? I don't. When this first came to light Trump said he and his family were off limits in this investigation...said he'd release his tax returns in a couple weeks after being elected....said he'd separate his business holdings from his personal account and put them in a trust....non of which has occurred..somebody has something to hide....Trumps camp has already proven that .....time to flip some flap jacks!

    Seriously?

    Damn near all of the elected in the last 70 years had something to do with the Russians.

    Eisenhower was elected because it was thought he could deal with the Russians best.
    Same with Kennedy. Khrushchev pounding the table with his shoe, threatening the annihilation of the US and placing Missiles in Cuba
    all help Reagan sell his story of how to defeat the evil empire.

    They just changed there tack a little here in recent years.

    But you vastly over rate their actual impact. No one with any wit, was going to vote for HRD anyway.

    Actually the Russians were doing anything to stop Hillary from being elected...turns out they preferred Bernie over all the candidates..anybody but Clinton..Putin hates Hillary in a Denny Crane sort of way

    That may be, but so far there is no evidence that what they did helped Trump win the election.
