Just what I figured.


Then why did you ask?

Oh well, the search continues.


It isn't a difficult one. In fact, the information is borderline common knowledge at this point...

How about showing some proof that Russian actually changed votes in a voting machine or got Hillary votes deleted. I'm open to the possibility but I see nothing/hear nothing but words from politicians. And no facebook ads didn't change the outcome of the election.

You seemed so confident, I thought you might actually have an answer.

Is it? Continually saying "Russians meddled in the election" in no way answers how or how it impacted the results.

Are you bothered by the HRC and DNC paid dossier / Russia connection?


I am a sunshine guy. I am not anti-Mueller investigation (it needs to be a little focused and get the frick on with it). I am all for sunlight.


But, I have not seen you being bothered at all by the O DOJ, the DNC, or HRC with respect to the shenanigans.

I may have missed it. That is why I ask.

"There's pretty clear evidence that the Russians meddled," Bush said at a talk in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. "Whether they affected the outcome is another question." Bush also said that "it's problematic that a foreign nation is involved in our election system. Our democracy is only as good as people trust the results."

I don't see anything wrong with that statement

Meddled and affected/altered are two different things.

I'm sure many other countries could be accused of "meddling" with our election.

I remember several heads of other countries slinging shite about Trump in the media during the election. Is that "meddling"?

Obama had a very weak DHS. Not surprising the Russians meddled I our election with Weak Obama at the helm.

Thank God Trump is president.

Only plausible thing I've heard on this meddling is that Russia put a little money into his campaign. That info is from a conspiracy theorist progressive.

I guess all the money Hillary got from other countries doesn't matter.

I'm not surprised by it. I don't know that I'd say I'm bothered by it, but I'm not really bothered by much of anything.

Except coyotes. frick them.

Correct, which is irrelevant to what I said. I could expand on my answer, but I'll pass.

Let's say the Russians meddled. And let's say Hillary won anyway. Do you really think we'd hear a fricking peep about it today? Be honest.


Yes because she'd be hammering their asses. She and Putin hate each other. Additionally, she is a fricking hawk especially regards to Russia.

And again also because they've done it in numerous other countries.

Is that why they colluded with Hillary campaign surrogates, which is undisputed fact? And where are your tears over the meddling by British intelligence in support of Hillary?

I think I've probably watched it all the way through about 5-6 times now. One of my favorites.

Don't talk about George W. Bush with such disrespect. He was a fine president. I would hate to see how Trump would have handled Sep 11th 2001. Go give Bannon a huge.




GWB was one of the worst presidents of all time and the BEST thing that happened to his legacy was 911.

then the hacking of the DNC and/or release of that info to Wiki leaks.


How is that Trump's fault again? Did Trump call up Putin and tell him Hillary has an unsecure server in her bathroom that he could easily hack?
