    We should stop doing it before we take a moral high ground against it. Hypocracy is not a respectable position.

    We basically set the international precedent that foreign meddling is legitimate policy, backing up our results with the might of our military and literally forcing other nations to accept our meddling at gunpoint. We're a long way from being able to claim other nations are 'attacking' us when they try to interfere in our elections.

    We literally created this mess. The only respectable thing to do is try to mitigate it domestically and stop participating in it internationally.

    No it isn't that simple. All you described is a propaganda campaign by an unfriendly foreign power which is pretty much the norm in international back and forth. Radio Free Europe and all that. The Russian government preferred Trump, nobody is saying that they were the reason he was elected. That was Hillary Clinton, not Russians. I preferred Trump, still do and though I said some mean things about Hillary on social media, I am not Russian. FWIW, the forum I lived on at the time was solidly in the Clinton camp and I don't believe either Putin or myself swayed a single vote.

    Putin's actual wealth probably exceeds Jeff Bezos, He may have over 200 billions, no one really knows.

    I think we may see him become the first trillionaire someday.

    Oh bull feces too. Probably the silliest Trumper lie yet is this idea that a Great Power and possibly the world's best hacker nation could spend several million dollars and months of effort to subvert our election and have no effect. Pull the other one guys, they're getting jealous.

    Donald Trump is the President now because Valerie Putin put him there, no other reason

    Trump said in an interview that he would accept help again - it doesn't hurt to listen.

    The nation is under attack. There is no doubt about it. The story this weekend was that the Republicans are afraid to protect the election system because, are you ready, it might piss off trump. It hurts his fragile little ego if anyone suggests that the Russians are acting to affect our elections. Does anyone even buy this crap anymore? It isn't about his ego. It is about not stopping the foreign interference.

    The nation is under attack by a hostile power and the Republicans are greeting them with open arms.

    So you welcome election tampering and the death of democracy in this country?

    Hacking of elections in the USA by foreigners cannot be stopped with legislation in the USA.

    Unless it would be to strongly suggest to the several states that they go completely back to all paper regarding all things elections, and make it worth their while by a little enticement, or by punishment for the non-conformers.

    Either cut the conduit, that is, the internet, or put hurt on foreign nations to get the desired results.

    Words and legislation will do nothing.

    No, we protect the Constitution first and foremost. No excuses. No jibber jabber. No traitors.

    We can talk about what people did in the past in history classes.

    Ignoring our culpability in the dynamic of foreign meddling will not lead to effective policy to defend against foreign meddling.

    We absolutely should protect the constitution. What we shouldn't be doing is making a big international stink about Russia giving us a taste of our own bad medicine.

    Putin has been getting his Christmas list filled every single day since Trump was elected. He wanted Trump. He wanted a split between Western Europe, Britain and the US. He wanted confusion in policy. He wanted chaos in the West Wing and the Cabinet. He wanted distrust between the intelligence agencies and the White House. He wanted white supremists and Black lives Matters to engage in violence and warfare. He wanted all of us to be suspicious of election returns, and their results. He wanted us to sneer at our own journalists, and purveyors of news.

    Trump is the perfect vehicle to bring down this country. Why on earth would he not interfere for a continuation of his wet dream?

    Trump has been a godsend for atheistic communists. The lying narcissist is inflicting upon western democracies what all the soviet military might could not hope to achieve.

    Wait, let me get this straight. Trump doing exactly the same thing Obama did about Russian facebook posts is somehow bad, but when Obama did it, its OK?


    Then you bring up the Bill's that were killed in the Senate, which there are already 2 threads about, both of which debunk the narrative the leftists and their media allies are trying to push.

    If you're talking about AOC, Trump didn't do that.

    "Oh, yeah!
    Well, what about ...?"
    You seem confused. In any event, your feeble attempt at diversions fails.

    Whatever the faults of previous presidents, none is a defense of the current one.

    The FBI, NSA, CIA, Republican-controlled Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, and Trump Justice Department's Republican Special Counsel's official concurrence that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to hurt Clinton and help Trump, occurred after Obama's term of office had ended.

    Obama did not wee wee his panties continually whining "Witch hunt!" concerning the consensus of the American intelligence community.

    That would be Moist Don alone.

    It didn't happen after Obama, Obama was informed and ignored it. Probably thought it would favor Hillary, a simple miscalculation. Which States switched to Trump because of the work of the Evil Empire?

    The 'consensus' of the insiders now being criminally investigated by Durham?
