1) Russians' wouldn't be that sloppy.

How would you know?

If there is anything this current era has shown, it is that you do not have to worry about facts, pure tribalism and rhetoric will do anything for you, at least when it comes to certain demographics. Both the Russians and Trump understand this, which is why they are exploiting it.

Funny how the narrative switches around as soon as the Dems get in trouble.

So who is it we'll be at war with next, Eurasia or Eastasia?

Since about that time, war had been literally continuous, though strictly speaking it had not always been the same war. For several months during his childhood there had been confused street fighting in London itself, some of which he remembered vividly. But to trace out the history of the whole period, to say who was fighting whom at any given moment, would have been utterly impossible, since no written record, and no spoken word, ever made mention of any other alignment than the existing one.

He never said that. He said that if they aren't going to abide by their treaty, why should we?

I thought Dems were tired of being the world's policeman.

Trump & Putin? True Bromance. Trump's remarks & those of his surrogates undermine Nato & the idea of democracy in general.

There's Manafort & there's Carter Page, too-

He's hooked up tight with Russian oligarchs thru Gazprom-

It doesn't make a difference. The only people making a big deal out of it are partisan hacks who are concerned trolling.

Eh the chairwomen of the DNC was forced out early and lost her spot at the convention. And is now being booed by democrats. More than concern trolling from these emails.

Agree - the leader of the party quitting/resigning isn't exactly a minor affair. :rolleyes:

Yes, we know that.

Neither is a foreign country hacking into the emails and computers of American political parties, and the working with Wikileaks to disrupt the American Election.

I don't give a flying fuck whom hacked/revealed the info. Seriously, it's of ZERO concern to me. Much like what Edward Snowden revealed, I think this is information that the public should have knowledge of as far as the actions of people they are supporting/cheering for.

If anything, whomever revealed this information should be cheered as a hero.

I see a lot of news stories about it but it feels like speculation at best?

Is there concrete evidence of this happening (I wouldn't put it past the Russians).

You know you CAN talk about two things at once, the hacking AND the contents of the email. What I see mostly from Democrats is deflect, deflect, deflect and they don't want to address what their party is doing.

I'm a socially liberal, economically conservative leaning person. I think both these parties are trash and put nothing past either of them. I think Hillary would love to make this about Russia and not about how the DNC is corrupt as shit.

I agree and I would honestly love to see the same thing happen to the Pubs.

All this political maneuvering, backdoor dealing, people need to see this shit. They need to see these parties for what they are - corrupt pieces of shit.

If Putin was such a problem, why did we give him 20% of our Uranium deposits? Why didn't Hillary stop that?

Heh. It's not like the Russians hauled it away, is it? It's just a Russian company like Siemens is a German company. We could take it back any time under eminent domaiin if it came to that.

Did you just fucking say that?

They are lambasting Trump for guilt by not even association with Putin and he didn't do jack shit to help Putin. Hillary and Co took tens of millions of dollars from Putin's pals, signed over 20% of our Uranium deposits, a strategic US asset, and you fucking congratulate her and say "Well, they can't take it all right now, so what's a few tons of uranium between friends...er...payoffs...err....ummm...well, shit, just take it".

You guys are hilarious. Russian government is our enemy, so let's hand them our uranium, but don't dare watch the emails proving that the very person who handed them our uranium peddles influence and rigs elections.

It is pretty hilarious that you are siding with Russian state media while invoking 1984. I guess some people are just that gullible.
