    Mueller said plainly that the Russians attacked us. That was one of his big takeaways. And yet the president is doing nothing to stop it again. Doesn't that bother our Republican friends here? I sincerely can't figure that out. Invasion of the body snatchers maybe? This isn't the Russian-hating GOP I grew up with in Orange County.

    I don't know. Do you think he was being truthful or trolling?

    What the hell are you talking about? Russia did help Trump's campaign. That's not trolling, that's a fact. What's not known is if Trump actively knew about it.

    Actually the facts are that Russia's impact on the election was negligible. That has been proven. They may have tried, but they made no difference in the election results.

    Not really the point is it?

    A foreign power actively meddled in our election. The majority of states had their voting systems hacked. It doesn't matter if you personally like the results, we need to take steps to prevent this.

    Actually that hasn't been proven as it can't be determined one way or the other how much influence. How can you determine how many people changed their mind due to bogus info being put out by the Russians?

    If you accept that he admitted they did help him in this tweet then you should accept that he had nothing to do with it.

    That's also in this tweet.

    And the person who started the thread.

    Weird. You can post three or four lines and be obviously wrong. That's talent.

    What would you like to do?
    You do know the Russians have be trying to influence our political thinking for at least 75 years?
    Back in the early days, it was a full time job for the FBI to be busting Commies. Want to return to this
    or do you have something more direct in mind?

    My brother in law use to stand watchs in the SAC command aircraft that was airborne all the time. Perhaps we should return to those days. Have a SAC bomber force airborne ready to strike on command, ready to penetrate into the Russian air space with in 15 minutes in any 24 hours of the day.
    Man those were the days!

    Naw! Not very Trumpy. He ain't going to do it, no matter how high the pitch gets.

    Obama knew about the Russians. Did nothing about it!

    Well he did wind up the Three Cabs and their gang to go after Trump.
    Funny, the Russian have been trying to influence this country for 75 years or more. This is the first time I can recall where one political party uses it as justification to use the forces of government to go after the other political candidate.

    We have crossed a newly built bridge but there is no road over here!

    I didn't mention those things because they have no bearing on the Russian meddling issue. The fact remains that the meddling occurred under Obama's watch and he did squat to stop it. The equal fact that I consider Trump to be a piece of trash that I want removed from the White House as soon as humanly possible also has nothing to do with the failure of Obama to call out the Russians on their meddling. I suspect it had to do with wanting their cooperation on the Iran deal, but was also based on the supposition that there was no way a political novice and arrogant asshole like Trump could actually win the election. Oops.

    If I were a judge, I think I would judge that the Russians have been more successful than they could have hope to be with an honest assessment in their projections. They have caused more turmoil and distention in this country than I have seen in my life time. The democrats and their supporter are now wound up to the point of totally abandoning the principals of our Republic. Everyone is obligated to signal virtue with posts and tweets of hate and disgust of the most recent winner of our election. The Russians won!
