Big deal, a few targeted fb ads or whatever... Hacking into the Dem computer systems and using the gathered stolen loot is quite a bit worse than the Watergate burglaries.
What are the odds they didn’t get into Repub systems? It would be the smart play to do so.
If they did, why didn’t they use it? Or are they using it?

Trump is playing the left and the media like a fiddle. He and Putin colluded to make fun of the media and irritate them and it worked.
Trump's thugs could bash the heads of immigrant kids with baseball bats and Jodi would think it such great fun to watch the left's reaction.

Can you imagine the outcry if Obama had said the things regarding Putin that have come out of Trump’s mouth.
“Patriotic” white Americans where is your censure? The only thing I see is your appalling hypocrisy.
“Patriotic” white Anericans where is your outrage? The only thing I see is your misguided sense of entitlement based on your race and not on your worth.
Truth is, Trump should be censured by Congress for his comments.
Not sure what race or "privilege" has to do with any of this. Jim, are you projecting guilt from your summer home in Chile again?

You guys have been saying for years that law enforcement always lies and are crooks
Wrong, we said you always lie.

What is obvious to 99% of the world is either denied because of ego or obscured because that 1 % (Judy) is busy giving the Cheeto Jesus a rim job.
Holy sh#t. I knew there were some dumb f*#ks in America, but some of you really take the cake in a vain attempt to save face for your unconditional support of a full on tard-helmet wearing mouthbreather.
Judy thinks he takes good photos...
Beat this one. I dare you.

Let's talk about the two previous denizens of the Whitehouse and there famous quotes in regard to Vlad. Bush "I've seen into his soul". Obama " Tell Vlad i'll have more flexibility after the election". Now Trump " I don't see any reason it should be". You guys are suffering from mass hysteria if you think the Trump quote is treasonous and the others innocent.
Trump is a clown, but I'll take a clown any day over a treacherous old hag ready to reset and push the red buttons on the nuclear football.

Thank god there's no hysteria there...
It's amazing what a well-targeted, 360-degree cross-media campaign can accomplish at the wake of sixty years of the GOP banking on spewing hate and fear being their best shot at power. Bummer that while demonizing Hillary was so successful even Bernie based his campaign it, it resulted in pushing the GOP so far to the hysterical fringe-right that they elected a sociopathic white nationalist traitor.

I voted against her in the primary with Obama, but times changed and what we needed was a back-alley knife fighter who wouldn't have bothered trying to talk with an obstructionist, do-nothing-until-we're-in-power congress. And let's get real and honest here - if she had been elected and said or did any of what trump has said and done then GOP-led impeachment proceedings based on treason would have been gavelled into session nine months ago.

Beware the trailer park - internet media - politics complex.
I have some dead relatives who fought in WWII, Korea, who must be rolling in their graves! I don't know what their politics were, but I'm sure they expected the country's leaders to use logic and information to make decisions, and to try to provide the electorate with those tools in the form of decent public education.

And you would have led the rolleyes crowd telling us how utterly ridiculous and without merit it all was. Still, this is exactly what you want vis-a-vis Trump.

How did the right convince you she would do that?
The natural order of our constitutional universe is that the Legislative is in tension with the Executive. The founding fathers never contemplated in the Constitution or the Declaration of Independence how partisanship and political parties would subvert that, to the point that you have Devin Nunes acting as a mole in the legislative for the Trump Whitehouse.
Hillary in the WH would have pitted the legislative against the executive, as it was meant to be in the Constitution.

Thierry Meyssan's...
Oh lord, a 9-11 truther.
In 2002, he published a book on the September 11 terrorist attacks—9/11: The Big Lie—in which Meyssan argues that such attacks were organized by a faction of the US military industrial complex in order to impose a military regime. The book was translated into 28 languages.[1] It is one of "the first wave of book-length conspiracy speculations" in France and Germany about 9/11.[2]

I think another plausible reason for Trump’s niceness to Putin, rather than fear or being controlled, is plain and simple admiration and mentorship. He wants to learn how to parlay his power into even more power and how to own as much of his country’s GDP as he can.

WASHINGTON — President Trump said on Wednesday that Russia was no longer targeting the United States, contradicting his own intelligence chief and just a day after promising that his administration was working to prevent Kremlin interference in the upcoming midterm elections.
Mr. Trump’s comments were the latest in a dizzying collection of conflicting statements from Mr. Trump since he emerged from a private meeting with President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia on Monday in Helsinki, Finland. And they directly contradict assertions from Dan Coats, the director of national intelligence, who has repeatedly said that Russia continues to try to interfere with American democracy.
Isn't his first job to protect the country?
