Y'all do realize that half the people being expelled by Putin are the U.S.'s own spies from the CIA/NSA/etc, right? They enter the country as "diplomats." The Russians do the same when they send their folks to their DC embassy.

We are literally losing a massive part of our intelligence infrastructure in Russia, plus the confidential sources these brave Americans have cultivated.

#WINNING

No, it was not. He repeated it three times.

Also, do you find diplomatic tensions hilarious?

DP. Oh shut up. You want it both ways? You want to accuse them without evidence of hacking our election, disenfranchise our POTUS and then get pissed when we don't have any diplomats in Russia? FFS? This is the cake you baked, Democrats. Oh - the stock market is down also. Short-sighted, pathetic Democrats created this and are crippled.

Most Americans do not own stock, so it is a barometer of how companies are doing, but not how Americans are doing. And yet you are blaming Trump on Democrats? Uh GOP voted for him in the Primaries and general elections. Own it.

This explains so much. And you didn't comprehend the rest of my post properly but, since you don't "do economics" I'm done.

DP. Why did you even bring up the stock market? What does that have to do with Democrats? BTW, do we need to go back and talk about the stock market at the end of 2008 and what happened after the Democrat was in charge to the stock market? Being rude doesn't make you sound more intelligent, FYI. I know it's your modus operandi in this forum, but you just come across as someone whose ego does not match his fund of knowledge.

I brought up the stock market because investors globally have seen mild corrections. Are they going to safe havens? I don't know. Media is controlled by Democrats who wanted Hillary to win and are opposed to Trump. Will this desire for revenge cause a collapse? No, fundamentals, for the most part, look good. Will the market stock halt its meteoric rise? Yeah, temporarily. Trump's infrastructure plan is coming and there will be winners and there will be losers.

So I am rude and you believe I am dumb but, are you the person who is constantly on my arse but has nothing political to add to the political forum than to be exasperated? I can live with this criticism. Let me know when you have some constructive political criticism, Buttercup.

So you brought up the stock market for reasons that have nothing to do with the topic at hand. You are also speculating.

Your opinion is completely idiotic. We have evidence from ever single intelligence agency. Stop posting.

If you truly believe at this point in time that there is no evidence of hacking, you are half baked. Don't put this on the Dems. You wanted the antithesis of Obama now you have it. It's your cake. Eat it.

There isn't a shred of evidence Russia 'hacked' anything. There's lot of conjecture about Russia by parties that are not dis-interested. Point me to any firm evidence that suggests otherwise.

There is an active investigation. There are statements by the intelligence agencies that it absolutely happened. Your denial won't change the facts, PP.

The IC, a not disinterested party, offered judgements, aka opinions, without providing any factual support. Get back to me with some facts and I promise to stop laughing at your gullibility.

The IC is, of course, disinterested. It is Trump who is trying to politicize its findings, not the other way around. Trump can't stand it when any one or any organization reports items that don't please him or aggrandize him. The IC does not make "judgments," it makes assessments. The analysis in such assessments is based on facts that come from protected sources and methods. You will not get that "factual support" from the IC. It's the IC's job to make sure those facts never become public because that could burn the source. That makes the IC an easy target to attack with nonsense as posted above. It will not respond. Nor should it. It's not in the game of politics. It exists to assess threats and it has served the nation well, with all of its successes secret, and all of its failures public.

Laugh all you want. The joke's on you.

Ding ding ding!

People, use your heads!

Cyber op? Do you mean things like RT and its report on the environmental dangers of fracking, pointed to by the IC as evidence of Russian attempts to undermine American democracy?

And remember how people lost it over Stephen Colbert's holster comment?

Explain to me how it wasn't accurate

It's not about their job status. It's about Trump's ineptitude
