Keukasmallies Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 Good to see POTUS taking a stand against the hacking brouhaha that has emerged in the last two weeks (Well, actually several months earlier than that, but POTUS decided not to mention it at the time. I think he was saving his umbrage 'til he saw who won the election.). Now that the election is over, POTUS can unleash his full powers of response. There are rumors that he'll draw a red line in the snow (after all it's Moscow, not Baghdad) and dare Russia to do something about it. In preparation for drawing the red line, he has alerted the Department of Agriculture to be prepared for a new round of total bull ****.
Nanker Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 He will unleash a cyber attack in the form of a strongly worded email that will say: "Not funny, Vlad. Sincerely yours, Barak"
Joe Miner Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 If the DNC was held to the same level of responsibility as many of our corporations, once they were hacked, and privileged info was released, there would have been an investigation into their security practices. They would likely be leveled with a huge fine. But I'm sure the President will be defending those corporations as well since they were also victims.

He sure will; that's what a President for all the people just naturally does. And we all know he's....Oh, wait a minute, that doesn't include the folks living in the middle does it...?
Joe Miner Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 Corporation gets hacked - Punish the corporation. DNC gets hacked - Threaten other countries.

DC Tom Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 Sounds like Russia has crossed a red line...

DC Tom Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 So just so I'm clear: back in 2012, calling Russia our "number one geopolitical foe" was something Obama called an inaccurate throwback to Cold War geopolitics after he "successfully reset" relations after the unnecessary friction of the Bush administration, but four years later Obama is saber-rattling against Russia based on questionable intelligence whilst criticizing Trump's desire to "reset" relations with Russia...and liberals are afraid Trump is going to start a nuclear war? Really...what the !@#$? Is gatorman suddenly running things?

North Buffalo Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 So do these lasted revelations of Russian involvement in the campaign in support of Trump endanger the legitimacy of Trump's inauguration?

Oh and those questions? Rhetorical.
/dev/null Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 Obama opened MS Paint and drew a red line. Russians leaked the .BMP file to Wikileaks. Josh Ernest claims it was drawn by some low level staffer that has since relieved of duties Fox News reports the red line came from a senior official MSNBC questions why cyber security has become so lax under President-Elect Trump Obama laments people getting "fake news" from Fox

DC Tom Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 Her email was safer on her personal server? Please explain how you know this. It was safe from Congressional oversight.
Nanker Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 Meanwhile, China commits an act of war against the US... Seizes US underwater drone. And we all know how fond of drones B. O. is.
DC Tom Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 Meanwhile, China commits an act of war against the US... Seizes US underwater drone. And we all know how fond of drones B. O. is. That's not really an act of war. Total dick move...but rather like stealing a Humvee.
