QUESTION: Is Russia going to do LESS hacking of our elections since MiniPoot is going to be prez?

[uponit7771]

I don't understand the attitude of dems in Washington right now,

If the election was hacked once at the state and local electoral level why in the hell wouldn't they just keep doing it?

Why in the word would someone like MiniPoot give up his golden Russian egg!?!?

Because someone in the intel agencies are going to rat him out!?

They already tried that and Comey ignored them... David Corn wrote about this in Mother Jones

Help me out here,


Thx in advance

1. I would NOT bet on that. They'll keep on doing what works. n/t

[uponit7771]

7. RIGHT !!! Why would they just stop now?!?! Conservatives will run everything why in the hell

... would they investigate any continuing claims of hacking!?

[gordianot]

2. It will no longer be hacking for information.

Just verification of what the traitor provides to his master.

[Best_man23]

3. Nope

In fact, I think we've only seen the beginning of this. I'm expecting dirt on the Rs to begin as soon as Congress blocks BLOTUS from dropping the sanctions, which he will no doubt try to do very early.

And someone should forcefully tell Mitch the Bitch, the hacking WILL continue and election hacking WILL happen again if we don't take steps.

4. The problem is that

the turtle doesn't care...the hack put Trump on top and assured the Turtle's future as the speaker. He's not giving that up.

14. +1, if anything they'd ask for more hacking

[uponit7771]

8. +1, hopefully they'll start eating each other... maybe that's the thing that'll save us

5. We're not going to make a big deal of the hack because of what was hacked.

The emails were embarrassing. The last thing we want to do is shine a light back on a hack that cost our DNC Chair her seat and cast an unflattering image on the party as a whole.

It's like attacking someone who took a video of you making out with the guy who just got done licking the dogs ass because everyone involved was drunk.

[uponit7771]

10. It wasn't just emails, it was the DNC and state and local electoral boards..I wish it was just email

[Exilednight]

13. That may be, but no one in Illinois is going to care about hacking that took place in California.

That's just basic truth. People are too concerned about their own day to day existence to worry about someone they will probably never know.

23. RNC was hacked too; russians are just holding that stuff for blackmail. nt

6. It will only get worse...

Now that Putin has his puppet in place, the puppet will start compromising American intelligence agencies, turn them towards domestic surveillance of anyone and everybody who has ever questioned, opposed, or mocked The Donald. The intelligence gathered will then be turned over to Putin's middlemen to be turned over to Assange for dissemination. It will make Nixon's enemies list and corruption of the IRS look like child's play.

9. Maybe they helped Dubya in 2000.

Bush and Pootie Poot did look deep into each others eyes and find kindred spirits.

[uponit7771]

11. Yeap, that still creeps me out... on that same line McCain hated Putin and lost and rMoney wasn't

... a Putin friend either.

You might have a point...

12. That connection has bothered me for years.

Obama had 10 million more votes in 2008, maybe that was too much. However, have a divided group show up and have a close election. The potential is there imo.

I still don't get how 87k votes = 2.8 million. How that equalled a huge number of EC votes for one candidate. I admit it makes no sense to me.

Kinda like how we did away with official exit polling. You know me, I am always cause sometimes the shit reveals itself to be factual.

[LaydeeBug]

15. That's why this is a coup...nt

[Vinca]

16. They won't have a need to hack. Trump will have the info sent by courier to Moscow.

[UCmeNdc]

17. No Russia will hack more.... Donald Trump will encourage it to gain more power!

[libtodeath]

18. With the levers of power at his use I am sure cheato will do all he can to destroy true patriots

[ElementaryPenguin]

19. They will keep doing it. So will the Chinese...and whomever else is capable of it.

The GOP don't care as long as they are the ones "in power."

[uponit7771]

20. Right, like DU they can address the low hanging fruit vulnerabilities but wont with MiniPoot in offi

[NCTraveler]

21. They will pay no price. They will only up their game.

This has been positive for them. I expect other countries to interfere with our elections. We all should. We should also be under the expectation they will pay a price.

[uponit7771]

22. Right! I don't see Putin saying "well, let them have their democracy" or the KGOP saying lets be...

... patriots and extra vigilant with the nations resources.

NOT AT ALL

[TheFrenchRazor]

24. we need all paper ballots, all hand-counted, all the time. nt

[uponit7771]

25. Something... cons can do vote verification but refuse to in red states

[Phoenix61]

26. I don't know about elections

but I think they will target sites like this one. Sites that people use to organize against Trump. Sites that promote Democratic candidates in state elections.

[UCmeNdc]

27. No Putin will be more than willing to help Trump steamroll his enemies........

Putin knows a good thing when he has one.......
