US punishes Russia for election hacking, ejecting operatives

[ready4ONE 5,400]

Funny, I think the effort to drag Hillary Clinton into this is the weak sauce parlayed by Donald Trump and his small but loyal and vocal drink testers. Disqualifying Trump and instead installing Clinton? That is not the issue nor the proposed solution if Russian hacking and other efforts to alter the election outcome in favor of Trump are true.

It appears that the hacking and influencing were very real, and it defies logic to think that Russia preferred Donald Trump for the good of America. It also appears that the RNC was hacked, and their dirt wasn't distributed. Why? Again not likely for the good of America.

This is not a partisan issue. It's a serious question of what Russia is hoping for out of Donald Trump. Clearly they are happy with the Buffoon-Elect.

Can someone tell me how the Ruskies supposedly rigged the election.

 

The truth is a great disinfectant. 

No for bonus points explain how the DNC  did not right an election

I would agree. I personally prefer stone and marble, and some victorian/renaissance touches.

As far as I'm aware it isn't just Democrats talking about it though? I thought three intelligence agencies have all confirmed there is evidence of tampering. Aren't there a decent number of Republicans who also agree with some form of sanctions? Not just McCain. I haven't really been following this whole thing that much until now. Didn't really think it would amount to much.

I'm good with sanctions on Russia. I was never a big fan of them and I won't be till they change their ways.

Yeah, I know.  Some still think Obama passed some awesome health care reform, and ended the war in the Middle East.  Bailed out GM and Chrysler with what, more than $60 Billion?  He also made unemployment better, right?  And he sure put Iran in their place.  Solyndra, the Bowe Bergdahl swap... just to name a few.  The good news is that he has made it easier for Trump to improve upon the presidency overall.

Like I said, you won't be able to post anything that supports Obama's run as president being a "miserable failure". Just because you do not like his policies, does not equate to him being a failure.

You have your opinion, I have mine.  My opinion is that he is the worst president I can recall.  The facts are that he lied many times, and he has many failed initiatives, just a tiny bit which I posted.  There are many more, but we can leave that for another thread if you'd like to start it and create a list of all the good things he has done for our country.

Well thankfully for you opinions need not be fact based. As I stated, there simply aren't enough fact based conclusions that qualify Obama's presidency as a "miserable failure". You know it as well or you would have posted them here. It would and should be very easy to prove that someone was a "miserable failure" at their job and you've failed to do so.

 

If Obama is the worst president that you can recall, you either have a terrible memory, a convenient memory or aren't old enough to remember 2001-2009 when GWB was at the helm.

   Just Bushed sucked. IDK about the 'too' part. I wasn't comparing him to anyone. In relative terms, the only person happy with Bush's presidency is whoever was the worst president before Bush, because that person immediately gets bumped to second worst.

 

   In absolute terms though, just 'Bush sucked' will suffice.
