...if Trump has officially acknowledged that Russians meddled in the election?

I personally do not believe Trump or his team colluded with Russian officials. However, hasn't the "Muh Russians" narrative always revolved around the denial by Trump supporters that Russia interfered with our election process?

To me, it wasn't so much finding out Trump or his team's involvement, it was the curiosity of finding out HOW Russia meddled with the election (be it spreading fake news or trying to hack into election servers).

At this point, to continue to refer to this as "Muh Russians" is to deny that Russia interfered at all, which even Trump has now acknowledged as fact.

Downvote away GOP friends!

No, but the success of their meddling is akin to South Africans...

Who the frick cares, they do it every day, and they suck at it.

The narrative that potentially Russians affected something is dumb.

So what instance of meddling are you referring to?

Yeah sorry if we dont care if and how Russia meddled in the election when the DNC rigged their primaries and tried to rig the election themselves. Self reflect a bit and try to figure out why we don't give a frick about the Russians

putting "muh" before another term just shows ignorance and immaturity.

It doesn't matter. They'll find some reason to continue to support him. I think blaming it on Obama is the plan.

Trump drives over golf course green:
- "he owns it - he can do whatever he wants"

Had he not owned it
-"he's making golfers melt. So alpha! So MAGA! frick those other guys."

Had he avoided driving over it
-"we finally have a president with class"

It truly doesn't matter.

Honestly, the problem is the narrative...when it should be:

The DNC destroyed Sanders chances

And Podesta colluded with the media, CIA and other governmental organizations to rig debates, and coordinate fraud against voters.

This is why the D party sucks, they don't even address the problem...and those that do try end up being robbed for nothing and whacked.

You guys don't even care...that's what Americans in general are pissed at the DNC.

More like to what level.

The insinuation that the only possible way trump won is because of muh Russians is what "muh Russians" makes fun of

So what was it? Stole, hacked, influenced, or meddled?

But calling it "muh Russians" denies that Russians had any involvement and makes it sound like a hoax, which President Trump even acknowledges now as fact.

Unless you mean to you, as in, you individually... if this this your perception of the coverage, then

Russians did less "election meddling" than behind the scenes machinations by the DNC and their co-conspirators in the media.

It is a big Nothingburger. Only a ridiculous person wouldn't see that by now.

Agreed, they can be highly hypocritical. However, and I hate to say it, but Obama should shoulder some of the blame for doing nothing about it.
