    You do realize that Russia sent troops disguised as rebels into an ally of ours and shot down a commercial airliner in an attempt to assassinate their president, right?

    That there is an undersea land rush going on by China and Russia? That China just today seized one of our undersea drones?

    Russia and China are playing chess right now and we're arguing over which political party plays the best checkers.

    That's a very interesting response. I just don't know what it has to do with understanding who spilled the beans on the Dems nasty inside politics. The fact that Russia and China are messing with our cyber data is well known. The fact that we are doing the same things to them isn't as widely discussed. We have pros on our side who play the game every bit or more effectively as the opposition. That's the case no matter which party thinks it's driving the bus.

    I think we all know that we'd never be able to compete with Russia in chess.

    However with what you've detailed, it sounds more like China and Russia are playing Risk.

    The best thing about the hack was the fact that we got to see the true colors of the DNC, Hillary and the campaign staff. I could care less about the hack as that shit happens all of the damn time. It's just the nature of the beast coming from my world in I.T. We're hacking people, they're hacking us, it's just a known game that is being played.

    The propaganda coming out from the MSM about it is just nonsense. Do not believe what MSM tells you, make your own conclusions based on the facts, not "anonymous sources".

    Ultimately, the hack is nothing new, and was happening before 2015.

    HAHAHAHAHAHA

    Couldn't happen to a more biased crew.

    http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-...headquarters-generate-significant-rental-reve

    New York Times Will Vacate 8 Floors In Its HQ To Generate "Significant Rental Revenue"

    Remember when The NYT reported that its ad hoc campaign to boost revenue by selling subscriptions in response to the vicious back and forth with Donald Trump, was said to be a smashing success? Perhaps it was subscriptions for the crossword puzzle because it appears the monetary success was not smashing enough, and according to a just released note from executives Arthur Sulzberger and Mark Thompson, the newspaper will vacate at least eight floors in its iconic building, allowing it to "generate significant rental income" because it is "frankly, too expensive to occupy this many floors when we don’t truly need them."

    Maybe the lesson here is that when the newspaper business model no longer works, one can just pivot into a REIT?

    The remaining staff will be consolidated on the remaining, redesigned floors in a "more dynamic, modern and open workplace, one that is better suited to the moment."

    Furthermore, the NYT publisher and CEO will lose their corner offices, which they call a "vestige from a different era" and will "introduce more team rooms and common spaces."

    It is unclear if NYT would distribute pink slips as part of the cost-cutting effort, however as the letter adds, "in the end, these changes will impact every employee at 620 Eighth Ave. In the near term, we will have to move about 400 employees out of the building to nearby office space while the first phase of work is completed. We expect that group, which includes parts of marketing, technology, the newsroom, news services, corporate finance and print products and services pre-press operations, to move in the first quarter and return by the end of 2017. Your manager will notify you if your position is affected by this temporary move. We understand and appreciate the disruption this will inevitably cause and we will do everything in our power to mitigate it."

    Did you hear? The freaked out left in Britain are blaming the Russians for hacking Brexit! The desperation is probably the most entertained I've been in a long while! SAD

    That was after he double downed and then said he was joking or at least. Gingrich did and then maybe Trump did too after Gingrich told him to say he was joking. Did Russia know he was joking?

    When first mentioned, he had a smug face. It's really laughable that people still don't understand how easily Trump had the press like puddy in his hands. A lot of them are actually paid to be observant and failed miserably.

    Poll: Majority of Americans believe Russian hacking didn't sway election

    The majority of American voters believe Russian interference with the 2016 presidential election had no influence on its outcome, according to a new poll by Fox News.

    Fifty-nine percent of all voters polled by Fox News said they don’t think Russian hacking made a difference in the election, while 32 percent believe Moscow helped President-elect Donald Trump win.

    Opinions were split along partisan lines, with 82 percent of Republicans, 64 percent of independents and 36 percent of Democrats saying Russia’s interference had no impact.

    A secret CIA assessment concluded Russia hacking was intended to sway the election in Trump’s favor.

    I thought it was ridiculous when Martin Sheen and the Hollywood snowflakes made the elector videos but they actually made them calling the electors by name.

    A new Qualtrics survey shows a large fraction of Republicans — 52% — said Trump won the popular vote, compared with only 7% of Democrats and 24% of independents. Among Republicans without any college education, the share was even larger: 60%, compared with 37% of Republicans with a college degree.
