Republicans keep ignoring the Russian Connection

I guess winning matters more to the Right than treason and security of our country. Thanks, goobs. We owe you one.

Could you imagine if it was Clinton who benefitted from the Russian intervention?

All the wingnuts falling over themselves dismissing the story would be stroking out right now.

Of course, they also would if Hillary had five kids with three different husbands, or if she had undisclosed business interests that presented clear conflicts of interest with national security.
 
:lamo

Hey leftists...please make up your mind. Are the Russians a threat or not? And if so...man...how ****ing stupid does Obama look?



Leftists are a crack up.

The election is rigged against Bernie Sanders

Dont look over here. Look at the Russians! The Russians!

The DNCV is in bed with HRC to screw over Bernie and delver the dem nomination to HRC

But the Russians!! The Russians!!!

Hillary Clintons emails have been revealed as has Podesta's and the DNC

Its the Russians!!! The Russians!!!

The media is colluding with the DNC to deliver the election for HRC.

But...but...the Russians!!! The Russians!!!!

HRCs campaign are being spoon fed the questions the media will be asking and will be delivering talking oint messages as directed by the DNC.

THE RUSSIANS!!!!! Its the RUSSIANS!!!
 
When clutching at straws, narrative is more important than verifiable fact. Hard to change a mindset that formed the entire Hillary campaign.

Seems an often recurring theme as demonstrated in the campaign's emails posted on WikiLeaks.
Seems that this has pretty much cascaded down from there to nearly all their supporters as well.
 
The choke queen is yesterday news, you righties will need to find a new boogie man

Normal decent folks don't need a "new" boogieman.

The kooker left will do. :)
 
Sure, go ahead. All of this Russian stuff needs to be taken seriously. I mean we had years on Benghazi, but nobody gives a crap about foreign influence.

The only influence is from the radical kook left. Most of that is illegal.

If you say so

After 2 years of Cry Baby and the spineless GOP, bring on 2018.
 
I'd say that the Right ignoring the intervention of a foreign power in our election process is a major story.

what's interesting is your posts where you know say you are happy that Hillary didn't win and you couldn't come around to supporting her with this sort of conspiracy nonsense. Looks like you are trying to play both sides of the fence here
 
What's wrong with the MSM totally understanding that Trump is a bad option for US president?

The mainstream media is supposed to be impartial.Besides that Clinton is just as equally bad as Trump. It cracks me up seeing left wingers bash Trump as though somehow they themselves are not supporting a greedy flip flopping corrupt lying sack of ****.

What? That I don't like the idea of a foreign power interfering in our election and think Republicans are idiots for ignoring it?

That's exactly what a non-partisan is supposed to do!

If he won fair and square, I'm OK with Trump winning the presidential election...at least until he does something stupid. Which probably will not take long at all.

Why should the MSM be impartial when they see nazis getting their man in the WH?

It appears you have learned precious little, perhaps nothing, from our recent experience with truth and veracity in the mainstream media. WaPo is about as incredible as NYT.

The days of Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers are long gone. WaPo is but a mouthpiece for certain special interests. Truth is NOT part of their agenda.

well, feel free to trust RT, Fox, Alex Jones and the blowhards on talk radio then.

You know so little about me, and I about you.

I don't do talk radio. I do check out Alex Jones twice a week or so. RT every day--it's refreshing compared to the tired old bull**** in western media like NYT and WaPo. NYT is my homepage, so I read the front page headlines daily, sometimes clicking on a story that interests, an infrequent event.

I do all sorts of media, both mainstream and alternative. IMO, the MSM is boring and predictable, and for the most part they all have the same damn stories, just like the TV news which I watch for 30 minutes about 4 days out of the week.

Counter Punch and Global Research, with an occasional visit to Army Times, just for old times sake. One might say it's all propaganda, so it's interesting to sample it all.

I wouldn't deny that much of the media is filtered and spun to fit a certain bias--ignoring black on white crime versus the over hype of any white on black violence is a perfect example of that. But, if something is reported in WaPo or NYT, it's probably more reliable than something said by Hannity or plastered on the the front page of Breitbart.

This Russian interference in our electoral process issue is real. Lots of credible sources are pointing to it having occurred.

I didn't know Trump was already in office and needed to address the situation with Russia. I thought Obama was still president and it was his responsibility to deal with Russia. The fact that Trump may be on good terms with a super power such as Russia could be a great benefit in dealing with Russia on issues. It would be much better if we could handle our differences diplomatically as friends rather than militarily as enemies. Of course we will not know until Trump actually takes office and meets with Putin and we see what can be resolved. Until then people are prejudging Trump without any facts as to how he will handle Putin and Russia other than speculation. Prejudging is nothing more than a form of prejudice. I will wait to see what Trump actually does to form my opinion. I am not a fan of prejudging people.

If that Russian interference is as real as you claim, you could prove it. So could WaPo and the others. Just like the MH17 story, hints and allegations without proof are all they offer. They have not and cannot prove a word of it, and neither can you.

To be clear, I would not be surprised if it were true that the Russians attempted to control the election, but I'm saying there is no proof of it.

Just as we have interfered in elections all over the globe for years, most recently perhaps in Ukraine, it is plausible that the Russians might try it. Trouble is, beside the statements of a collection of known liars in the employ of the US government, there is no convincing proof. There is only the Boogie Man element the US assigns to Fidel Castro, Vladimir Putin, and anybody else we don't like.

I'm not talking about what Trump is or is not doing. I am calling out those who voted for him for what they are not saying.

When people within our intelligence community say there is evidence to suggest Russians are behind leaks, hacks, fake news and astroturfing efforts in social media, we should probably listen.

Speak for yourself friend. Unless it's principled members of our intelligence community, the whistleblowers like Kiraikous, Binney, McGovern and a host of others, I don't believe a damn word those guys say. Rather, I consider it pure propaganda and deception.

Alex Jones is right about at least one thing--there IS a war on for your mind, our minds. COINTELPRO and other misinformation and disinformation programs are real, and decades old.

What lib-tards view Trump as is irrelevant to the fact the mainstream is supposed to be impartial.

No no no!!! They are to be in the tank for the left.. common sense tells you this.. when their own ideas can't stand on their own they deserve to have someone help carry their water for them. Be nice, it's tough having to defend the lefts ideas when common sense in many cases takes them apart. Can you imagine getting up in the morning as a lefty knowing you will be forced to defend outrages positions. No wonder they are such a angry self loathing bunch. It's a tough gig.

Other than getting your news from multiple sources and educating other people about the fact there is no such thing as a unbiased media outlet there is really nothing you can do.The media will always be biased because of the people who run it....

I believe the media has a right to support whoever they want.However who the support openly reveals their bias....
