[seemslikeadream]

I consider that a grave personal attack ..lies and have alerted

oh no Rory using nasty words now......I am in trouble now for sure

Why are you spreading anti Russian propaganda?

You want war? Why are you defending lowlifes like Louise Mensch, among many others.

This post is about Frank Vyan Walton, DailyKos and whoever wrote this headline:

What did Russia get in exchange for hacking our electorate?

What does that headline even mean?

They can't say Russia "hacked our election"—which apparently 52% of Democrats believe!—so Walton/DailyKos drops in "electorate" to somehow still get the idea across that 'Russia hacked our election.'

52% of Democrats in a Yougov poll believe that the Russian government tampered with voting machines and vote tallies.

That's a bit scary.

41% of Republicans STILL Don’t Think Obama Was Born in the U.S.

[Luther Blissett]

Yes, they are both wrong, and that's okay.

At least that 52% answers my questions "which of Podesta's emails really turned everyone off from voting for Clinton?" or "how did the Russian government know that they only had to get Clinton's popular vote down to 3 million to know they've had a successful hack?" because the majority of democrats might actually believe in a literal Diebold hack.

I'm waiting for someone to start the story that "Trump has been replaced by a look-alike" (or better, a robot). I just don't have the time to do it right.

Watch: Lawmakers appear shaken after Comey briefing on Russia
By Leah McElrath |
MARCH 15, 2017
Following a "highly classified" briefing by the FBI Director to select members of the Senate and House, lawmakers emerged appearing worried.

FBI Director James Comey met separately with members of the Senate and House for highly classified briefings. Members went into the briefings looking for a firm answer from the FBI to the question of whether or not their was an ongoing investigation into possible ties between Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and Russia but emerged silent on that question and appearing visibly disturbed.
On the Senate side, Comey met with the Chair, Senator Chuck Grassley, and Ranking Member, Senator Dianne Feinstein, of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
After the meeting, Feinstein spoke very briefly with reporters who had been waiting for the pair to emerge from the briefing:

Long-time observers of events on the Hill noted the unusually somber appearances of the Senators:

I've seen Feinstein have the worried look on her face. This is more than that. She just met with FBI chief Comey.

Grassley looked grim too. Grimmer than usual.
4:43 PM - 15 Mar 2017

Also notable is the fact the meeting with Comey took place not just behind closed doors, but within a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF):

As we previously reported, the Chair, GOP Representative Devin Nunes, and the Ranking Member, Democratic Representative Adam Schiff, met with Comey on the House side. Nunes came out of that briefing appearing likewise and saying it was “very possible” information involving Trump himself had been collected as part of the incidental intelligence gathered when the U.S. intelligence community was monitoring Russian officials. Nunes and Schiff likewise appeared tight-lipped and visibly discomfited:

Additionally, Schiff took the unusual step of openly disagreeing with Nunes to assert it was not possible to say there were no contacts between the Trump campaign and Russia:

Reporter: “Do you have any evidence that there were contacts between the Trump campaign and Russians?”
Nunes: “I don’t have any evidence of that, and we’re not going to get into, I mean, this gets to the whole issue of incidental collection, you know, who else was talking to the Russian Ambassador. This is a slippery slope. I think you just need to let the appropriate agencies get us the information in a timely manner, which I agree with the Ranking Member on, the more that they stall, the more they make it more complicated for us, the slower the investigation goes and the more complicated it makes it for us to answer your questions.”
Schiff: “I do want to say on that question because, Director Clapper [sic] was asked a similar question, I cannot answer that question the same way. Not certainly with the same categorical nature of the response. So, I don’t share that summary conclusion, and that’s about all I can say on that subject.“
Judging from the unusual reactions to the information the members received from the FBI Director, the story about the extent and nature of communications between Donald Trump and his campaign associates and the Russian government is far from over. However it ends, the American people deserve to know whether Trump and his aides were complicit in Russia’s activities to subvert the will of our electorate.

People like Leah, and shareblue, are doing great early work ensuring trump's successful reelection campaign

I'm waiting for someone to start the story that "Trump has been replaced by a look-alike" (or better, a robot). I just don't have the time to do it right.

The Three Stigmata of Donald Trump.

The only parts of Trump left that are real: hair, lips, and (small) hands.

Amazing what can be accomplished with Scotch tape and bluster.

Rory, why are you harassing a poster who is posting material relevant to the thread OP?
What are you contributing to the discussion.
Please don't make me ban you today.

So the fuck fucking what? SLAD is posting always what she feels to be important and possibly of interest. Even if it is something of only interest to her, so be it. Leave her alone and move on. This is not a site (despite all the tumbleweeds) to make people defend their style. Jesus H. If she was such a nuisance she would have been banned 10 years ago.

I think it’s important to maintain close proximity with the shared news articles and the discussion here of their substance, rather than having to retrieve related material from stored threads or subforum sections with the same topics separately titled. In other words, let’s leave well enough alone. The forum works as it is, warts and all. The only real irritant is the intervention of bullies inserting personal attacks. I had imagined such schoolyard immaturity and cruelty was beneath our dignity at a gathering of otherwise civil, considerate, intelligent, mature adults.

Yes. Absolutely Iran. That is why there is so much emphasis on the Navy. Just like that Klare essay that SLAD (thank you) posted Iran is the prize. I have been told it by Navy old timers first person. But what this prize ultimately is, I do not know and cannot fathom what would ever come of it. Face it leftist, pacifists, we done lost. But what was won? I don't believe in opposition unless it is a game with delineated rules.

(If I didn't have a nervous breakdown because of the state of existence I would have been taking classes by Klare 20 years ago -- ting a ling!)

It's not cheese, it's Russian smegma.
*and the tomato "sauce" is Soviet era menses.

Jesus, man get a hold of yourself.
You really do need a ban-holiday.

Rory is a serial personal attacker and is stalking me and he needs to stop

He has driven members from this board by doing the same thing to them as he is doing to me now. He should not be allowed to drive people he does not like away from here. He can continue this personal childish vendetta against me as he had done before to others ..I guess that's just Rory's style but I will not be another notch on Rory's belt
