These the 'experts' that said pre-election there was no way the election could be rigged or hacked? Or different ones?


Who said that? Because these are the same people who reported a Russian Hack in August.

but if so why wasnt it addressed then? no additional security protocols taken?

bear in mind all the recounts added to Trump's vote margin total - this "russia" too?

Because states have the right to determine how elections are carried out and that requires states to agree to federal assistance in keeping their systems secure

So people who are experts looked at it and concluded there was no way it could be anything but Putin, but he didn't leave behind a piece of paper with his signature on it.

Thanks for letting us know that the pathetic empty suit you got swindled into voting for was absolutely selected by Putin and that chumps like you were happy to eat it up with a spoon, it's nice to see you actually pointing out the truth for once.


The same people who were absolutely sure that saddam had weapons of mass destruction

Yes, that is a point that has been made frequently, but that isn't sufficient reason to dismiss all evidence.

In that case we need to actually see the evidence rather than take their word for it.

This....

Im not saying that Russia didnt interfere... its entirely possible that they did, but Im amazed at how many people blindly take it as truth.


Also the accusations arent that they lied... or cheated... the accusation is that they broke into Hilary Clintons email and told Americans the truth about her. Lol

Let's equivocate and talk about something different.

You know Russia is enemy to the West right?

I mean things have been cool because we've held them at bay for so long but with no Pax America they are going balls deep with tanks in every direction.

People forget 100 years of cultural rivalry very quickly. Since they are at their worse domestically and have always relied on military expansion to drive economic growth it isn't pretty. They would turn Turkey, Romania, the Baltic states into Syria in a heartbeat if they could get away with it without getting blasted back by NATO.
