That's fine. Just don't expect me to believe it! I'll try once more. You should read the article I just posted in Os's thread. There is a genuine industry in Veles, North Macedonia, that's pumping out fake news to this country and several others, very likely financed by Vladimir Putin's intelligence agency in Russia, the FSB. That's the direct decendant of the KGB, where Putin served as an important officer for many years during the Cold War, when Russia ruled the Soviet Union. Ignore at your own risk. You seem to think this is some sort of joke. If so, the joke is on you, and the "joke" is dangerous for all of us.
Jeh Johnson testified that U.S. intelligence knows that Putin himself ordered the interference in our election. https://docs.house.gov/meetings/IG/IG00/20170621/106152/HHRG-115-IG00-Transcript-20170621.pdf For people to continue to act like it isn't happening or that it isn't a big deal, is nothing more than ignorance either willful or innocent. But there is no doubt that it is ignorance.
Yea, I have no doubt there are Russian actors in this world putting out fake news. I just don’t believe I’m consuming or disseminating it. I have extremely limited social media and the social media I use has essentially 0 political flavor and I don’t travel far into the interwebz looking at dumb sh**. I like to consider myself a relatively sophisticated and discerning consumer of information and, like I said before, for you assert or imply otherwise is highly patronizing and insulting, as if you Deckard are so enlightened and I, lowly HTM, am falling for Russian fake news.
Don't have to be on social media to fall for it.... tons of blogs out there that serve the same purpose.
trump supporters defending this obstruction should also keep in mind at some point a Democrat will president and republicans will miss the concept of checks and balances...
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer is recommending that Mueller be subpoenaed to testify before the House Judiciary Committee. Hoyer urges subpoena for Mueller, as Dems ramp up calls for testimony House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said Tuesday that lawmakers should issue a subpoena for Robert Mueller if he declines to voluntarily testify on Capitol Hill about the Russia probe, amid increasing calls from fellow Democrats to hear from the former special counsel. Speaking to reporters, Hoyer, D-Md., said, “If he won’t testify, we ought to issue a subpoena.” Hoyer added, “He may want a subpoena for all I know.” The Republicans of course will have questions of their own, which by all appearances is what Bob Mueller wants to avoid. Go ahead, Dems. Do it.
I believe its happening. Do you think 2016 was the very first time the Russians pulled **** like this? If not, how did our Republic somehow survive it? Personally, I wish the Democrats (and Republicans for that matter) would talk as much about HOW we are going to secure future elections as they do Obstruction of Justice, but alas, that was never the point. They pay lip service to securing out elections. Nothing more. It's all a big joke.
I do believe it was the first time they tried anything like this on a significant scale. I 100% agree with you on preventing this crap from continuing and securing our future elections.
I guess you are hoping Democrats will act since republicans, led by senate leader mcconnell, haven't, and won't.

turtle face's home state newspaper has offered this op/ed, https://www.kentucky.com/opinion/editorials/article120718538.html Americans deserve to hear why McConnell did not trust them with the evidence that he and 11 other congressional leaders received in a confidential briefing in September 2016, during which McConnell “made clear to the Obama administration that he would consider any effort by the White House to challenge the Russians publicly an act of partisan politics.” McConnell also questioned the veracity of the intelligence, according to the Washington Post, based on information from unidentified officials present at the September briefing. On Monday, McConnell said he had the “highest confidence” in U.S. intelligence agencies. But McConnell would not answer reporters’ questions about the Post’s account. He passed up the opportunity to deny that he torpedoed the Obama administration’s request for a bipartisan pre-election statement calling out the Russians. Now McConnell and other Republicans are saying the integrity of our elections is too important for partisanship. But before the election McConnell appears to have put partisan concerns first.
