What is all of this hyperventilating about the Russians?

[Anonymous]

Dems are angry that the Russians revealed true and unfavorable things about the Dems? That's what this "scandal" is about? They are angry that they weren't able to get away with their lies and crimes and that somebody exposed them? Dems have the mainstream media to exclusively publish harmful stories about the republicans and to pair up with Dems leaking info about trump's "grab em!" statement etc. So Dems are just angry that the republicans were able to level the playing field? How silly. All is fair in love and war.

The Clinton slime machine was beat at its own game.

Dems are angry that it's now been revealed that Obama has known about Russian cyber hacking American targets for a long, long time, and done absolutely nothing about it to protect American interests, because Obama screwed up Syria so badly, and needed Russia's help to resolve that situation so badly, that he felt he couldn't afford to antagonize Putin over the cyber attacks.

Obama is a Russian mole.

If you do not have the intellectual capacity to understand the troubling fact of a foreign government hacking into US email--private, public, government, intelligence a gencies, as well as interference with US election process, then It is good that you can post as anonymous so that your name and absymal ignorance remain unknown.

Real Americans are not celebrating a hostile foreign power interfering in our election infavor of the candidate who is seriously indebted to them.

Or a newspaper. So funny that folks who were so worried about the hypothetical risk of foreign influence due to Clinton Foundation want to turn a blind eye to actual and continuing interference by one of our country's greatest enemies.

Here's a clue: It's a continuing issue given Trump's debts to Russian oligarchs and his demonstrated willingness to follow Moscow's policy preferences.

He told you in OCTOBER, it was IN THE PAPERS you don't READ.

So ... you think that hacking by a foreign power with the goal of interefering with our elections is a legitimate way to "even the playing field"? Do you even hear yourself? All good Americans need to be appalled by the hacking by Russia. I don't really care who it was in favor of.

I swear, this is like Bizarro world. ANYTHING is OK in your guys' books. It's scary.

No, the real reason is that they have info on some of our NSA spying. That's why they released the NSA spy tools that they recovered. As a warning to us that things would get nasty if we attacked.

OP, for years we've been experiencing increasing hacks from Russia. Our diplomats have been physically harassed, in Russia, Europe, and here in the US. The hacks and targeted information leaks over the summer have been a real (and in some instances successful) attempt to influence or denigrate our election and democratic process.

Most of this stuff has been reported when it happened -- but there has been no focused response from the White House or State. Nor has Europe figured out the best way to respond to Russia's increasing activity in the past few years.

Trump has so far shown that he has no idea that any of this has been happening, nor does he care. But the rest of us have known for a while and do care. This will be his problem in a month. Do you want him to move closer to the country that has been physically attacking our diplomats and hacking our political parties and military?

You haven't been paying attention.

Trump's Russia problem began well before the hacks, with his bizarre praise of Putin, his hiring of Manafort and others with ties to the Putin regime, etc.

It's been clear for a long time that Trump is tied to Russia. The hacks are just another part of the trend.

Anyone who gives a damn about America should be concerned about the Trump-Putin connection.

You seem unaware how deep the ties are between Trump and Russia. Trump has been doing business there for 30 years and is indebted to the oligarchs. Manafort continues to advise the transition. Flynn has close ties to Putin. Carter Phillips, his former foreign policy advisor, in Russia as recently as this week and reportedly under investigation for contact with senior Russian officials in July of this year while he was working on Trump campaign.

OP, the Democrats are hysterical because they thought Hillary was a cinch to win the election and for them the only question was how much of a landslide it would be in terms of the electoral college.

Hillary lost and, in fact, got trounced. They cannot get over that shock and then it makes it worse that they thought they would gain control of the Senate but that did not happen. They even thought there was an outside chance that they would regain control of the House and that also did not happen. So it has been a loss on every front.

The crowning humiliation is that Trump does not give a shit what the Democrats or the media thinks so when they rant about him, he just makes fun of them and mocks them. He has nominated people for his cabinet who Democrats don't like and he tells them to go fly a kite.

The Democrats don't know how to deal with him so they went with Jill Stein's recount which blew up in their faces. Now their latest ploy is to use the Russian hacking to get the electoral college to vote against Trump and they will lose on this as well. After all, one of the leaders of that effort is Nancy Pelosi's daughter which tells you how desperate they are! After he is inaugurated, they will start about impeaching Trump and that too will pass ........

Trump's nominees will get confirmed courtesy of Harry Reid who used the nuclear option to eliminate the filibuster! So Reid is there ranting about everything under the sun about Trump and the FBI and Comey and the Russians and he does not realize that he is yesterday's news.
