That's not "hacking the election." That's you being an idiot. It's not illegal for Russians to lie to idiots like you. They have no clue at all There are millions of hackers out there every day working away at anyone with a password I doubt Putin had them on the payroll i doubt it made any diff to the election hackers are currently trying to or successfully breaking into the DNC servers right now

Insult me all you want, you are still doing it from a position of ignorance. And since all the info is right out there, it must be, sadly, willful ignorance on your part. 6 hours ago, Kelly101 said: There's always a maxine waters bitter beer face pootin peachin 45 on every social media site, isn't there.

Russian intelligence launched a concerted attack to influence a US presidential election--and were caught doing so. The gullibility of the American public to fall for Russian memes aside, that's something worth reacting to negatively--as an American. Your snark is an easy escape hatch from actually caring about your country and the people in it. It's a magnitude more intellectually challenging--and rewarding--to care about the world and work to fix it. 1

So, russia tried to do to us what we tried to do to Israel, and it's somehow a moral issue? Come the !@#$ on. Just how gullible do you have to be to buy into the lines the unelected government bureaucracy spews at you? Edited July 17, 2018 by joesixpack

Not relevant to my concern about Russia—a totalitarian state—employing its intelligence agencies to influence our democracy and being caught doing so. “We all do it” is what my little brother used to say when he got caught breaking curfew. That’s a childish release of responsibility.

That's marketing. And Net Neutrality in action. What, are we against an open internet now?

That’s a childish release of responsibility. "We all do it" is an absolutely valid response to anyone exhibiting outrage over the situation because it gives the action context, and understanding a thing requires understanding the context in which it exists. People should not be getting outraged over common behavior which all nations engage in as part of the status quo of normal geo-politics. Full stop. Further, the purchase of Facebook adds is incredibly benign in the overall sector of this sort of behavior. Do you believe that American citizens should be prevented by their government from hearing about what people in other nations, and the leaders of other nations, think about our government? If not, why not? If yes, how can a people be considered a free people if their government is permitted to control what information they are allowed to consume? Edited July 17, 2018 by TakeYouToTasker

reddogblitz Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 (edited) I was walking my dog this morning and almost tripped over a rock. I kicked down the road a little. I looked down where the rock was, and there was a Russian down there. (S)he was hiding under the rock. Edited July 17, 2018 by reddogblitz 1
