    Tampering in our elections.

    Questions about blackmailing Trump.

    If it was 30 years ago, we would be talking about the cold war. This feels like the infiltration of our government back in the 40s and 50s, when Russia had infiltrated so deeply that they knew about the Manhattan Project.

    Russia sends spy ship near US coast, deploys banned missiles at home, officials say

    A Russian spy ship was spotted patrolling off the East Coast of the United States on Tuesday morning, the first such instance during the Trump administration -- and the same day it was learned the Kremlin had secretly deployed controversial cruise missiles inside Russia and flew within 200 yards of a U.S. Navy destroyer, U.S. officials told Fox News.

    Perhaps Trump should renew the draft, stack it with do good liberals and send the lot of you to kick ass on the punk in North Korea. What you think?

    We've been in a constant state of war since we gained our freedom from the crown. There is nothing new here. Just new to you.

    Trump Campaign Aides Had Repeated Contacts With Russian Intelligence

    WASHINGTON — Phone records and intercepted calls show that members of Donald J. Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and other Trump associates had repeated contacts with senior Russian intelligence officials in the year before the election, according to four current and former American officials.

    American law enforcement and intelligence agencies intercepted the communications around the same time they were discovering evidence that Russia was trying to disrupt the presidential election by hacking into the Democratic National Committee, three of the officials said. The intelligence agencies then sought to learn whether the Trump campaign was colluding with the Russians on the hacking or other efforts to influence the election.


    ...



    Mr. Manafort added, “It’s not like these people wear badges that say, ‘I’m a Russian intelligence officer.’”

    Obama backed down for 8 years to Russia, N Korea, Iran, China...

    Now you want Trump to reverse all that in his first month in office?

    Meanwhile, oBOMBa's holdouts in the WH are committing treason by leaking our intelligence capabilitites to our enemies via the MSM.

    Definitely hoping for some arrests and convictions.

    We aren't the bad guys..... we're the rubes who let the bad guys run our country. Our people have been sold a bill of goods. We think we're the good guys. We have been brainwashed to believe that we're the good guys. Unfortunately, we haven't been the good guys for 70 years. We're the ones who have been out fucking up other countries and regions. But, regardless, that doesn't change the fact that Russia is trying to fuck us up. I'd prefer not to die, regardless of how shitty our country is.
