CIA: Russia manipulated the election to install Trump

Liberals are all about quoting the constitution when it fits their agenda.

"Let the House of Representatives select the president"

 

It's very much a "We've gotta respect the will of the people.....unless the will of the people isn't what I want to happen"

 

I don't even care what they are saying, I just enjoy their presumption that their opinion carries any more weight than the kid who bags my groceries

utter clueless arrogance

 

Right. I agree we should increase security. Normally, when an outside power takes a hostile action against the United States, Americans come together and criticize those actions.

In this case some have thanked the outside power, and others gone out of their way to act like it's no big deal.

 

While it's uncertain whether or not Russia's interference changed votes in our democratic elections, it's 50 times more uncertain that you no a secret move behind those taking the very reasonable action of condemning the outside foreign nation rival that took a hostile action against the United States.

It isn't odd or strange for Americans to make a big deal about a foreign nation doing that.

 

The only group gullible and stupid enough to fall for Russian propaganda is the Libtards.

So who ****ing cares?

 

It's not odd or strange for Democrats to be upset that the corruption of their party was exposed, but outside of that? Yeah, not such a big deal.

 

Maybe not a big deal for you to have foreign governments committing hostile acts against the United States in an attempt to subvert the democratic election of the President, but it is to a lot of folks whether or not they are upset about who won the race. That includes Lindsay Graham, John McCain, and other Republicans.

It was a big deal when the United States Richard Nixon illegally targeted the DNC which led to watergate. To think that somehow when Russia does it, it's less of a big deal, seems odd. The world hasn't worked like that, and it doesn't appear that it's working like that now. Since both parties are making it kind of a big deal.

 

So, it's not a bigger deal that the DNC was colluding with the media to subvert the democratic election of the president?

Anyway, feel free to keep making this seem like a big deal, but it's really not.....and the DNC getting hacked IMO isn't a "hostile act", but I guess if you want the ICBM's fueled and prepped over it then you are free to have that opinion but that's putting party over country.

 

What the DNC did was wrong. Some of what they did with certain media personnel was unethical, and luckily there have been repercussions made as a result.

Not sure why you wouldn't consider it a hostile act, that's fine. The only person talking about the deal being turned into nuclear or military stand-off is you in what I presume is an exaggeration to try and make a point.

When people in congress are talking about a bi-partisan investigation similar to the one after 9/11, it's safe to say thinking it's a big deal isn't out of the ordinary. You don't have to think that it is, but you should understand why you'll be on the outside when it comes to the issue.

 

Do you even know how the Podesta emails were compromised? He fell for a basic phishing email to change his password. Anyone with a little HTML experience could do this. Whoever sent this got lucky. It was not a case of sophisticated hacking into googles mail servers.
They weren't 'hacked' so no amount of additional security would help. That is what he gets for using google for his mail server.

 

It's incredible that you actually believe that crap.

 

So our intelligence is saying Putin had a direct hand in trying to influence the election for Trump and our right wing friends are saying that is crazy conspiracy theory? I guess they have looked at all the intel themselves huh?

All I know is that I'd much rather have Mike Pence as President right now than Donald Trump. Country first.

 

Gotta love Obama going on the Daily Show to summarize Trump's negligent attendance at security briefings as "flying blind". You know, someone should tell Trump, to his face, that Russia is our greatest geopolitical threat. Perhaps they should do so on national television. I mean, if he doesn't get the message then, what would you call his neglect?

 

You're the one calling it a "hostile act", military action is the appropriate response to a hostile act against the nation by another country and I know you aren't just exaggerating to make it sound like a bigger deal than it really is....so yeah, we should attack Russia then right? You have to retaliate to a full on assault on our most precious institutions like the DNC and CNN so let send in the troops. I mean, you just said that they are investigating this just like 9-11, so clearly it's a similar attack.

I mean, weren't you suggesting that? If not, what kind of response to such a horrible act of hostility towards corrupt organizations colluding to hijack the democratic process would you suggest? Clearly if you blow the whistle on the DNC, you are hurting all of America, so the response has to be strong.

 

So Russians rigged the election by exposing how Democrats tried to rig the election? You crazy Libtards should be committed.

 

Yes, and it should continue to be a non-story until the CIA makes an official public statement backed up with evidence. I'm not dismissing them the other agencies are, and these are agencies that do have access to the so called "evidence". The only thing they agree about is that Russia is involved in hacking our emails, which anyone with a brain would agree with; for sure we know they hacked Hillary's email, the FBI has already told us just how easy that would have been.

What matters right now is the contention that this was all done to Trump's benefit, with a motive and intention of getting him elected. It is a pathetic attempt to make a non-story political so whinny babies on the losing side can drum up dissension. If CIA really had something solid we wouldn't be talking, there would already be a call for action within the government. This is 1950s all over again except even with the full story available on the internet, somehow there are still idiots around that want to claim an anonymous CIA assessment is somehow gospel... it's really quite a phenomenon.

 

Where should I be getting my news sir? The great beacons of information like CNN? Washington Post? or may New York Times?

Nah, I'll stick to my own news source, place like Reuters, AP, and occasionally C-Span. Oh look, here's a nice video. I'll save you some time, the info you want starts at 43:00

**** Europe man, I mean they basically free ride on our military so that they can live in these little socialist societies that exclude us from entering and they live off of our tax dollars and ****, man. Meanwhile, those countries are being flooded with people who hate them and want nothing more than to see their way of life broken and **** on. Why should we, as the United States feel guilty for anything that happens to Europe at this point? I hope Russia takes a giant **** on them too, because Europe has been committing economic warfare against the United States and winning for many many years now.

It's amazing how Trump wants to go after China and Mexico when Europe are the real criminals, here man. Make them get their own military and make them pay for their own ****, dude doesn't want to pay for them to live in hippie land when he isn't invited.

 

No one rigged the election, but the Russians did try to influence people in the states by hacking into the DNC and with fake news. How much influence it had is unknown.

I think people should stick to the facts instead of careless language like "rigged"
