    The only reason you haven't seen proof is because you've refused to look. I've posted the 14 pg. declassified version of all the proof and analysis by the United States intel community. I've posted it multiple times. Other users have posted the pdf as well. You simply haven't looked. If you want to discuss this, perhaps you'll need a little more effort.
    It is completely false to infer or state that the United States has done anything along the same lines as what the Russians did with our election. Again, you making the claim might make sense since you seem not to even look at the published proof of what the Russians actually did.

    This might sound cra-cra ... but hear me out.

    Trump should take credit for those 1000 new jobs.

    sophisticated? Modern day neo-cons are idiots. It doesn't take much other than to throw random stuff into their main ingredients of Doh!BamaCare, Benghazi, Blacks! soup. They would stomach a real turd as long as you included the aforementioned components.

    of course it was a Democrat who said this. Sorry Dems but you lost because you're bunch of pathetic losers not because of Russia.

    They created fake news sites to MAKE MONEY. Both candidates got their fair share of fake news.

    This is unbelievable. Right up until the election the Dems took shots at Trump for saying he may not accept the results of the election. They said this kind of talk is a threat to our democracy. If you can't see the hypocrisy of this then you're blind.

    Comrade, you waited for new orders or just that crisp and tart mid morning sun there?

    If you can translate this: tell your masters we don't think they won Cheeto the election. That's not the point. Your pathetic existence here as part of a paid, foreign troll army is part of the point.

    You are not welcome on this American BBS, no matter how desperate you may be to satisfy your dictatorship. No matter what they may be holding over you. Not our worry, comrade.

    Sam and B bob (since you liked his post I'm assuming you are agreeing with his sentiment) I'm not emotionally invested in this as you two are. I literally don't give a ****. I spend my time worrying about many other things than this hysteria. If the Russian govt hacked the US then I think it will be another interesting piece of history and I will love to read about it. I know I'm being trolled at this point, but post facts and I'll agree with them. No facts have been posted. Maybe I'm blinding myself to reality, but I don't think I am. I don't think I got this far in life by blinding myself to reality and being blindly partisan. If I was that type of person then I wouldn't have succeeded.

    Maybe it was the Russians that made me vote for Hillary and vote for more democrats than republicans. I'm guessing you two both assume I voted libertarian or republican...I'm effectively a democrat with my voting habits. Sorry to disappoint, but I've actually been on your side with voting. However since I disagree with you on this Russian thing then that turns me into a crazy reality denying lunatic.

    Pretty amazing how logic works out sometimes. You should take the advice of the article you posted. Btw Sam let me know the next time you actually admit to be wrong on this message board....I won't hold my breath.

    B-bob I actually consider you a human being on this message board versus Sam. You seem to be thoughtful and caring with your posts even if we disagree. Sam it's funny you randomly brought up message board persona because that's all I consider you to be. There's nothing wrong with it if this is your outlet, but you act like you are little more than a bigtexxx mirror far too often.

    Anyhow my thoughts are worthless to read. I don't know why I bother putting thought into posts here. I've tried to back away from posting in here and I've even tried to avoid clutchfans some because I don't want to get sucked into these impossible political and philosophical discussions. #thoughtsfromanonintrospectivemoron

    And also I was just wondering if you, Sam, only pay attention to my posts that disagree with your points of view. I tend to think that is probably true because you only seem to reply to those posts rather than reinforce points that might agree with yours.

    Ok maybe I've been blind. Can you please link it again?

    Edit...https://www.intelligence.senate.gov/sites/default/files/documents/ICA_2017_01.pdf

    Is that it? Because if it is then it's close to worthless to read. I read up til page 17 until I just got disheartened with the lack of evidence. Honestly, I'm really really trying to get on the side of this Russian ****, but every ground breaking piece of news I see is ****. It's just continually underwhelming....maybe I'm just denying reality as Sam and B-Bob think....or maybe I'm not. I'll just have to go with my own stupid blind dumb and worthless thoughts instead. I'm a very stupid person so obviously I can't have a valid opinion or reason behind my thoughts.

    Also are you joking about the US not doing stuff to blatantly interfere in elections? We did it proudly with the Russian elections to help get Yeltsin elected.

    That's just a quick link I grabbed.

    Anyhow I hope y'all have a great weekend!

    The PDF is 14 pages but that's besides the point. Please explain which evidence and analysis in the report with which you have a problem.

    I never claimed that the U.S. didn't try and influence elections, that's normal and done all the time. In the past the United States overthrew elected leaders of Iran and helped install the Shah. What I am saying is that the United States does not in any way do what the Russians were doing as far undermining the democratic process that way.

    Bernie should have played the game better and not lose in the primaries.

    that explains that their intention was to make money not to meddle in the US election.
