The Russians are at it again!
Just as it appears that the DNC is stuck with a rotten can of worms and the President continues to draw huge crowds, our beloved intelligence officials have given the House of Representatives a classified briefing announcing that "Russia" is interfering in the 2020 elections! What a bombshell! Such an enormous bombshell that the New York Times and Washington Post were immediately informed. This would mean that the catastrophic loss the democratic party is about to suffer is not legitimate! Nope, if Trump wins, it must be those damn Russians! That has to be it because people are so easily manipulated by Russian bots and/or comments on social media, that they are liable to do anything!. Basically we are all left of center liberals down deep who are influenced by a bit of commentary on Twitter!
For the few who don't know any better or those like my progressive friends - I'M BEING SARCASTIC!
Joseph Maguire, the acting director of national intelligence, at a House hearing in September.
Erin Schaff/The New York Times
If you believe the New York times (and I don't) the background story goes like this: 1 The president was angry that Maguire gave the briefing. 2 The President was concerned that Adam Schiff would weaponize the findings. Those are my words, but that is essentially what the Times is trying to spin.
Thus, the reason the President is replacing Maguire with Richard Grenell , the ambassador to Germany - a man who is not a member of the deep state club - a man the intelligence community fears. Bravo Mr President. Long overdue!
I should note that the President was considering naming Representative Doug Collins, Republican of Georgia, as the permanent director. So the idea of replacing Maguire has been in the works for a while. You might not think that if you read the Times story.

Trump, You, and Putin
Perfect together...?

LAW REQUIRES ( Informing our Reps)
Trump, triumphing over our Fore Fathers yet again.
Nothing to see here
accept treasonous traitors...,
NOT ME, and you should be ashamed
Ah, Joe McCarthy couldn't have said it better!
Nothing to see here
How many times have progressives told us that?
.
You should be
I'm not going to try and decipher that.
I quit doing that months ago. It seemed like my IQ would drop 5 points every time I tried to read them.
THEY ARE THE COPS !
The Chief is LYING
asleep at the wheel
Intelligence officials warned House lawmakers last week that Russia was interfering in the 2020 campaign to try to get President Trump re-elected, five people familiar with the matter said
1. Adam Schiff
2. Jerry Nadler
3. Hakeem Jeffries
4. Nancy Pelosi
5. Chuck Schumer
haven't heard any denials
No one has ever "Denied" Russia mettles in our elections.
then why FIRE the messenger ?
Trump is a LYING non stop TRain wreck for this country, and his defenders/supporters apparently are not bright enough to see his IS DAMAGING our country.
Congratulations proving my Moniker Lewinsky so true, yet again.
STupid Liars who would HIDE info from our Reps, who the LAW REQUIRES BE BRIEFED, are treasonous scumbags in my oh so humble opine
Trumpp/Putin and Trumpp supporters. Retorted together !
Read the article, all the way to the end.
......…. ANYTHING, except what's floating around in gumdrop and sugar plums Liberal land !
Why would Russia want someone to be re-elected, that has been a thorn in their sides since he took office:
"When you actually look at the substance of what this administration has done, not the rhetoric but the substance, this administration has been much tougher on Russia than any in the post-Cold War era," said Daniel Vajdich, senior fellow at the Atlantic Council."
"More than a year into Trump’s presidency, however, none of the fears generated by his early statements on Russia have become a reality. If you strip away his ostensibly chummy personal relationship with Putin, Trump’s Russia policy has been drastically more assertive than that of his predecessor."
Y
Vic says you can't believe it
And the point the left doesn't understand or willfully tries to ignore is the fact that the Russians, Chinese, Iranians, or any other entity has not actually meddled in our elections. That would amount to changing votes on paper ballots inside envelopes, or inside voting machines. There is no credible evidence that has ever happened, or will in the future. What these can do is try to influence the election. All this is nothing new and the Dems are simply bringing this disinformation scheme up again in an attempt to cast doubt on Trump's overwhelming win in November. They never seem to learn. I have to wonder if they will attempt to impeach Trump again?
tHE dEMS ain't bringing nothing forward. It is our UNITED STATES INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES that brought forth the information, AS REQUIRED BY LAW !
Can't believe ….. What's IT ?
Well Golly gee, i believe it HAD to be exposed as Trump was trying to DENY, that is REQUIRED BY LAW, information given to our reps
,
and he still is. Thus the firing and insertion of one with
NO INTELLIGENCE,
nor experience as well.
Sassy
Hotty
?
SH
IT
NO
They just hacked into the DNC and Several county voter data bases in Florida.
Nothing to see here folks...
RUSSIA GOOD
Dems, libs, Independents, anybody but Trumpers, BAD.
.
Do they not recall Trump and Putin, side by side in Helsinki, where Trump took
PUTIN'S WORD,
over ALL of our INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES.
.
Then it was the Ukranians that influenced the 2016 election.
bunch of Retorts, The Gop would be
when respondin to me .
Funny that I had read the briefing took place and new information was available, though we don't know what was talked about or what the new information could be.
Odd to me that some think even briefings to congress should be secret. That we should not know they took place.
They were aided by stupidity in the case of the DNC which one of its "senior" members fell for a phishing scheme. Do try to keep up.
You are correct. You can see the voter rolls in many states on your own doing a search. Is there any evidence as to changing ANYTHING on said data bases? I will await your link and backup [removed and see warning below at 3.1.7]
So apparently several people in Florida fell for the scheme as well.
So that is your excuse? Well it looks like they didn't change anything (this time).
People can see voter rolls...though people are not in the system....
So all is ok. Nothing to worry about....All is fine and dandy...It is only the fault of people at the DNC...
Really?
What's ….. "It No" ?
it's all fine, till it's the GOP
which i'm sure has already been compromised, just not yet fully exploited
Which "Votes" were actually changed ?
Once again using the old "here is what you said" when I actually didn't. The DNC's problem was stupidity. And the phishing scam had NOTHING to do with the people in Florida. Once again asserting I said something I did not. Now, about seeing the voter rolls on your own...................it doesn't take a hack. Just like using someone's images from Facebook. It's out there and public knowledge accessible to anyone who wants to take the time to actually look.
the letters after SH
Sassy Hotty Its No ?
Again saying it was stupidity on the part of someone at the DNC. Sounds like blaming them to me. And again, seeing people on a voter roll and being in the system are two different things.
So no votes were changed so no big deal....Who cares....
Comprehension is critical to discussion. The DNC's problem was the DNC's doing. Podesta fell for it and therefore, was stupid.
Exactly !
"Commercials" are nothing more than Pandering to the "Ignorant" !
ooooooo...… 4 out of 5 somebodies say...… Buy "This" toothpaste tooth brush, Wisk, cleaning Brush, insurance, cook pan, etc…..on the internet, Facebook, Twit, and whatever other "Something" puts it out on, so it must be true.
So the Russians hacking the DNC are not at fault, it is the fault of the DNC for getting hacked...
So in other words, it doesn't matter what Putin does, it is the fault of the people that fall for the disinformation.
The Uninformed are the ones that "VOTE" in this country....right ?
So …. YEP.....they....the Voter that falls for it....would be the "Maroons" !
Do YOU vote based on a "Commercial" ?
And what did the Russians reveal from the Democratic Party hacks that was not the truth?
Anything at all?
So yes, you are excusing, if not dismissing the attempts to sow discord in the American electorate.
So dismiss what happened and focus on the content of the DNC computers...
Did the hacks reveal anything that was not the truth? Did the hackers doctor the emails they released? Did the hackers alter any votes? Did the DNC get mad because they were hacked--or because the truth was exposed?
So you don't care that they were hacked or exposed and only want to gleefully talk about the content that was released.
Don't let your fantasy get the best of you again. I stated no such thing at all, and never have. Argue what is written--not what you wish someone had written for you to argue.
And you seem to wish to only talk about the hack and ignore the reality that was exposed.
Does the DNC issue talking points about this, and include instructions on how to ignore it whenever anyone brings up the topic of WHAT the hacks exposed?
I am talking about what you write. It is there for all to plainly see.
I find it very interesting that you continually ignore my question about how the truth about the DNC could ever hurt it? AND help Trump?
LOL!
I will just say I am not surprised you could care less about the hack and only want to discuss the content that was hacked.
Got it.
You vote for "The Commercial" !
I do get it. You vote for a complete shrug of the shoulders along with a who cares....
No you don't !
I vote for the "Person" running, not for what someone else is doing "Behind the Scenes ( Commercial )"
Here ya go:
Bad hack! Bad, bad hack!
Of course people and institutions shouldn't be hacked. But they were. And now you want to completely ignore what the hackers exposed because it wasn't beneficial to Democrats. Why does the truth hurt Democrats so much?
Seems you have a unique double standard here. If anything is exposed about the Trump Administration, especially if it is bad, you cheer. And you don't give a damn HOW the info is obtained, so please don't pull that sanctimonious crap with me.
I stand by my comment as you are still doing it.
Triggered much?
So everything donald should be secret and never exposed even by our own people but a foreign government hacking, interfering and the response is, shit happens...
That "Commercials" mean something ?
And again, victim blaming.
They didn't refuse FBI involvement. They got any and all forensic data.
Nope. I am not the one trying to shrug my shoulders at what happened.
Once again, not something I have ever written or stated.
So why did the truth about the DNC hurt Democrats in 2016??
Can Democrats not take the truth about what their own party did?
And why are Democrats so mad that the truth about the DNC was exposed?
Once again imply something then deny.
And once again trying only to take the focus off of the deed.
Now you're getting somewhere. Kudos. That is EXACTLY what it is and by opining that people were swayed by crap shows what some evidently think of their fellow citizens.
This whole story is just fueling up the "how could we lose again" mantra......period
Gee, I am really sorry the evil Russians tricked the DNC and exposed their dark secrets and it cost your Abuela the election.
Prosecute the Russian hackers! I would love to see them go to jail Hacking is illegal, and should be punished severely.
Now, about the truths exposed by the hacks.
Why are Democrats ignoring what their very own party did?
Facts?
Luckily, we have John Brennan, who knows what Putin wants.
Shrugging shoulders is exactly what you are doing and what you statement here infers.
I had said nothing about donald being involved. All you are saying is it happens and nothing can be done. Oh well.
If commercials didn't sway people we wouldn't have them...
Comey also said the copy of the server was acceptable. They got all the info they needed.
Never happen. I would love to shorten the election season, it seems like they are always campaigning. What bothers me the most is now it takes vasts amounts of money to run. The average Joe never stands a chance.
Then of course we have the complacency set in. Once one is elected and in office, hard to get them out. People may give congress a horrible rating yet keep voting the same people back in.
My point was they got what they needed but yeah, I will concede it was stupid on their part.
Take all the dirty money out of politics, shorten the campaign season(s), it does seem that the campaigning is never ending.
Too many people running and then you have to pare it down to a manageable number.
It's too much.
I kind of liked the idea of paring down the senate and up the house terms. Make them both four years.
Funny how Brennan and his fellow operatives seem to know what Putin is thinking, what Putin wants etc. No interest in China or what Hillary Clinton actually did! Yet we have idiots who believe the Trump/Putin narrative.
And it started before Trump was elected, but DURING the Obama Administration.
Thank God Obama was President then, or this coulda gotten outa hand.
I don't know how he managed. He had Brennan and Comey's heads up his ass. It's hard to move around.
We missed the boat on that one. All we needed was an Obama hater to listen into the call and come forward as a whistleblower, preferably in a Lt Col uniform, and we could file impeachment for "abuse of power."
I guess Putin didn't listen to that stern "Stop it." from Obama when Obama KNEW what was happening and essentially did nothing.
All Putin knew was that Obama wanted him to help on the "Iran Deal" and therefore Putin could even invade the Crimea if he wanted!
They "Saved" his ass for posterity !
The Russians will succeed in sowing division and political chaos, just leave it up to the good old liberal committee.The voters are not as stupid as the liberals are.
So instead of nominating the guy you say he was 'thinking' of nominating, he does something else and puts a staunch ally in the position. One with no experience.
“I like acting. It gives me more flexibility. Do you understand that? I like acting. So we have a few that are acting. We have a great, great Cabinet”
So that is the excuse, he was planning on getting rid of him anyway. I wondered what it would be.
A man the intelligence agency fears...
Please.
More deep state nonsense...
I swear you all will believe everything he says or does no matter what. Even make up excuses.
and they do,
and they do
It’s a temporary measure as he’s in an acting role. He’s still our ambassador to Germany. He will facilitate the removal of one until the permanent one is appointed and confirmed.
Uh huh. Don't hold your breath waiting for that to happen.
So he replaced a man in the position on a temporary basis with a man that will have the position on a temporary basis to be replaced by a man on a temporary basis...
Trump is appointing everyone to temporary positions. He realizes he's going home after next Jan 20 and so is everyone who works for him. .
Trumps permanent temporary replacement has now permanently declined position, temporarily i'm sure.
Sure glad Trump learned that lesson the Republican Senate taught him though...
yea fck the formalities all others must go through
So better to circumvent procedure and just do whatever he wants....
If the intelligence community wants to showboat then why not give them a showboat director? Richard Grenell is perfect for the job of DNI since he already holds a State Dept. showboat post. It seems rather obvious that Joseph Macquire is incompetent and cannot do the job.
So, the intelligence community knows, with certainty, that someone is meddling in the election and can trace the source of that meddling to Russia. But the intelligence community can't do a damn thing about it? No, this is a concerted effort to protect the ability of the intelligence agencies to meddle in US politics. Instead of focusing attention on Russia, the intelligence community is focusing political attention on social platforms. The recommended solution is to control information disseminated on social media rather than block suspect foreign traffic on the internet. It's not Facebook that allows this to happen; the problem is open borders and failure to protect national sovereignty.
What is Congress going to do about it? Sanctions against Russia won't be effective because Russia has not allowed itself to become dependent upon foreign supply chains. Russia has the clear advantage in resilience. Expelling diplomats won't be effective because Russia can easily insert agents into the US through open markets and open borders. The bottom line is that the United States is incapable of keeping Russia out of the country without making drastic changes to policy concerning open borders and dependence on foreign supply chains. Congress has deliberately opened the United States for attack and the technocratic bureaucracy is either unable or unwilling to defend the United States.
The intelligence briefing to Congress was entirely political. The intelligence community is pursuing political objectives. The intelligence agencies are focusing attention on political control of social media, news organizations, and flow of information on the internet. Russia has only served as a useful way to manipulate political government to achieve that political objective. Russia isn't the only foreign country meddling in the United States. And that foreign meddling isn't limited to something as unimportant as politics. Political government (including the political bureaucracy) have really caused the problem by creating a policy environment that prevents the United States from defending itself. Open borders can't be defended; that's just common sense.
Reminds me of my Elephant Repellant. I know elephants want to get into my house because, well, you know how elephants are. I keep the secret formula in a bottle and spray it about the house occasionally. I know it's working because: no elephants in my house.
just a Donkey, or whatever else they're called these daze and knights in white power satin sheetin his bed cause of all the lies he's said as he even LIES when sittin up in bed, bed head from the one who Putin him on top
So much Russia angst!
Yeah, I'm pretty sure they're continually "at it." I'm also pretty sure that I don't vote based on anything Russians do and that our system counts my vote exactly as I cast it (unless you live in Iowa or Florida. Good luck to you, in that case).
So, while I disapprove of Russian meddling, I don't worry about it, and I'm sure not going to blame them for the outcome of an election until there is genuine proof of cause and effect.
I'm pretty sure also, that many are wrong as they know not how they've been manipulated.
Just let them continue to 'think' they are/aren't 'critical'.
Based on what? Paranoia or facts?
And what's the difference between being influenced by Sean Hannity, Rachel Maddow, or Yakov Smirnoff? The world is full of speech and influence, wisdom and bullshit. You think we're going to selectively censor just the Russian bullshit? That's a fool's errand.
well , you've got that RIGHT, and we've got the perfect FOOL already in office.
