So now the left is concerned about email hacks. It was no big deal when the Secretary of State had a private server she sent classified messages on and was proven to have been hacked by Russia and China. Noooo, nothing to see here folks.

And frankly, anyone who clicks on unsolicited emails and doesn't know how to use their spam filter should not be working in government.

They deserved to lose, consider it a political Darwin award.

Well, no, you don't have it right. I wanted to know where the outrage and concern was way back when Clinton and the DNC were rigging the primaries -- that's something that should alarm every American.

Now, though, the party that would have been shouting the loudest about foreign intrusion and subversion, especially Russia, is shrugging off foreign intervention in our election. How can ANYONE see that as OK, let alone ignore it?

When the US becomes a province of a foreign country again, this is the event history will point to that made that possible -- when a political party became willing to partner with a foreign power to win elections, rather than work together to resolve differences among Americans.

And I'm just speechless that anyone would not realize this means Russia wants something.

Congratulations. You are now under the control of a foreign power, Comrade.

What do you consider the criteria for "world power"?
population? GDP? GDP Per capita? the one with the most nukes or ?????
have to know that please

Money & military might.

On that basis France and the UK are more qualified than any of the ten non-permanent nations. Only India is ranked high enough in the linked listing while not at all a member.

Actually it's more like... congratulations, you've just taken a big jump forward toward globalization. Enjoy!

C. If they also released information on Trump they weren't trying to help him, if they didn't, how do you know they hacked them.

Because the CIA's job is to uncover these kinds of details. If you had been following the story instead of thinking up new straw men, you would know that this is a pretty big part of what we're talking about.

D. This looks more like SOP than trying to help one party over the other.

It probably is Putin's standard operating procedure to hack political parties.

I'm pretty sure your ignorance of this story and politics in general means you think the CIA is exposing Hillary here, though.

This is why paying attention is so important.

No one "is in shock hacking exists," drama queen.

That a foreign power intervened in the election OUGHT to be a matter of concern, don't you think, Comrade?

And do you think they did it because they were bored one Sunday afternoon, or because there's a agenda that serves their interests?

Take your time. Think it through. You can do this.

Answer the questions. You're just dodging. Then go read a little history so you understand the context.

It's just staggering, looked at from this side of the pond. What is patriotism for, if it's not for standing together against a country that's influencing its elections? What does the word even mean, any more?

THANK YOU Senator McCarthy! [sm=rofl.gif]

Here is some more "breaking news" for you - "foreign powers" have been launching cyber attacks and have sent spies and have done everything else possible to assail their enemies (industrial, political and otherwise) since time began. To suggest that this is anything more than the same old same old, and to try to blow it up bigger than what it is, which is that the clueless Democrats around Hillary Clinton were stupid and sloppy and careless fuckwits regarding cyber security and they reaped the rewards that could have been easily foreseen by any part time small company IT / Janitor / Night watchman, is just piling stupidity on more stupidity.

The bottom line is, this is purely a political ploy aimed at undermining President Trump's credibility. Obama promised a smooth transition but what a surprise, he lied again. "OMFG, a fake news site reported that unnamed sources at the CIA are leaking secrets about leaked secrets, everybody keep panicking, I have it on great but unknowable authority that there are reds everywhere"

And fucking morons like you believe it... LOL!!

Lol.... now the libs want patriotism after they've spent the last decade or more trying to destroy it.

So, you *don't* see the need for patriotism now, then, tamaka?
