    Seems no one was asking the Bernie campaign for questions to ask Republicans, so it's not semantics

    Wouldn't watch any of those asses and increase their ratings because in the end that's really the bottom line.

    My level of surprise: 0

    This could have been assumed, by anyone watching the coverage. I watch these people daily with utter amazement at how shallow and biased they are. The more CNN's ratings go down, the more I can't look away. It's like watching the crew of the Titanic after the captain told them to keep ramming that iceberg, to show it who is boss.

    The DNC doesn't lead the media. The media leads the DNC.

    The msm is at the forefront of leftist politics. They run things.

    Hey, What do you know...election meddling. And you didn't have to look over the Ocean to find the culprits...

    Precisely why the cry of "Fake news" comes up whenever someone posts a hit piece from Wapo, CNN and the like. Everyone knew it,but always nice to have it confirmed.

    But you LIKE that media, do you not? You rely on it to learn about foreign countries and people from them.

    Are you not afraid that without a fresh dose from CNN your picture of world with 'evil ruzskies' as a general boogieman will collapse? You'll have to be learning things yourself and making judgements of your own, if you will get rid of state propaganda.

    Every cognizant person knew it but of course the Democrats would never admit to it. Deny, deny, deny.

    This is why I don't care about this, or the Russia/Trump stuff.

    The bottom line is we are getting truthful information to help us make a decision.

    Did all that stuff happen to Hillary and the DNC? Yup, does it matter that it came from Russia, nope!

    Did Trump do a lot of the stuff that was brought from Hillary during the campaign? Yup! Does it matter that it came from NBC, ABC, CNN etc.. nope!

    It is all just information and I will say again, I think the Russia stuff is really going to hurt the Democrats in the long run

    I assume that no one else has actually bothered to try and verify the claims made in the OP since the direct link to the article that supposedly supplied the evidence doesn't work. One does have to wonder how all this angst and discussion can be manufactured when apparently there is no there there.

    Welcome to how people feel about the Trump/Russia stuff.

    You guys started this whole "when there is smoke there is fire" thing.

    There is an ENORMOUS amount of smoke showing these stations work with the DNC. You Democrats created this world, welcome to the new normal

    The Dems will ignore what's going on, which is ultimately bad for them and the country. Don;t see any over here. http://www.politicalforum.com/index...port-while-attempting-to-flee-country.510660/

    I have said from the begining and will repeat here.

    If the Dems do not score a home run with this Russia/Trump thing, they will be even more sunk in the coming years.

    The Independents are what matter in the US, so far the Independents have been caught up in this whole nonsense but they/we are caring less and less and less

    Nice attempt at switching the subject. But this Op is totally imaginary while the evidence the Rusdians tried to influence the election is unarguable . And the lies by the members of the Trump election team are inarguable. And the really weird bromance between Trump and Putin is unarguable and logical only if one assumes Trump owes Putin for something. We will find out why Trump is panicking at the investigation.

    Oh not at all, that is the subject and I whole heartedly agree with it.

    In fact, by you saying it is "imaginary" makes it EVEN MORE like the Trump/Russia thing. Neither Republicans nor Democrats can understand that different people have different interests. Until both sides stop just saying "you are an idiot/naive/stupid/evil/etc and actually debate the topics, this is the new norm.

    But just stating that this is exactly the same as what is going on with Trump and will be as I said the "new norm" going forward from both parties.

    Most of the big EU countries are now saying they want to drop sanctions against Putin and Russia, what are you guys going to do with such a decision? Do you hate Trump that much? Or agree with the Progressive world of the EU who now are against you.

    I am honestly curious what the Democratic Party will do going forward

    Since Trump seems to be abandoning NATO and trade deals and advocating the breakup of the EU they probably have no choice but to make a separate peace with Russia.

    What is so pathetically and tragically sad is that Libs were burned over and over by MSM during the campaign. They were being fed false poll numbers and fake news in order to control them, and yet, even after Libs LOST, they STILL believe everything that MSM tells them to believe. They still get their talking points and marching orders as they always did. NOW THAT is scary. It gives you an idea of how gullible the German people were to Hitlerian propaganda. You would think they could learn...
    MSM's idea of breaking news is to report that they have definitively proven that Trump is a misogynist because an unnamed White House source has told them that Trump prefers Capt'n Crunch for breakfast instead of Cocoa Puffs. And Libs on here would be repeating the propaganda like good little sheep, no matter how dumb and ridiculous it sounds. Why don't Libs turn their frowns upside down and try to look at the positives that Trump has accomplished DESPITE being maligned, smeared, mocked and lied about 24/7? Turn some of that anger toward your own party for being do-nothings and continually lying to you and inward for your complete gullibility and to MSM for their hateful attitude toward the president because you're too easy to manipulate. After all, he won fair and square,.. because the Russian fabrication is just a lame conspiracy theory spun by Democrats with no basis in reality. Stop eating the Froot Loops... The American people are watching...

    Actually this is more of a Bolshevik style. Make promises, give people some bread and liberties, play heroes a little bit, and then... Boplsheviks promised peace with Germany and withdraval from great War and to return people what they lost to this war, developed pretty fair constitution with equal rights for all ethnics and both men and women - based, though, on liberties introduced by Provisional Government - and actually started distributing food to support starving regions, proclaimed free education and free medical care, gathered Red Army that fought first in civil war, and then repelled the foreign, ahem, "guests" - first german forces that been violating peace agreement, then forces of Antanta that supported various "White" warlords in return for one or other agreement about land and/or reparations and by that more or less saved country's borders...

    They even been one of first factions across globe to officially recognise Poland's independences.

    They maybe have actually worked for the good of the people at start, until they got opportunity to become the only political force on territory of ex-empire, among all countries formed from it.


    ...and so, in 1922 the USSR got formed, with it's government being superior to governments of Russia, Belarus and Ukraine, formed exclusively from members of only remaining party - now simply called "Communist Party" - that been carefully selecting who gets to administrate lives of people. "carefully" as in "careful to not get any potential rivals", especially after Stalin's rise to power.

    Fun fact - Stalin's constitution for USSR was one of the most liberal in the world at that time, and probably one of the most often violated by it's own creators due to complete absence of any competition to ruling party and any instrument for people to restrict it's actions.



    And on top of that for all that shιte our grandparents went through - repressions, terror, loss of property and beloved, starvations, wars - instead of compassions they get labelled as monsters, as if they have created a one-party megastate that they had no ability of controlling from positions they were in, even if that state spoke their very language.

    My advice - be careful and be vigilant to not allow any political party - being it Democratic, or Republican, or any other - to ever get full control over country. Right now seems that democratic party ends up striving for such control. I assure you - nothing good will come out of that, politicians must be controlled BY the people, not controlling the people. So, jokes aside - you do have a worrying situation going on in your country's politics. God save you from coups.

    So you understand - I do not mean that Democratic party has same aims as Bolsheviks had, but actions of it do look troubling.
