President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

To nobody’s surprise, you’re wrong again. The FBI informed the White House and tbe White House chose to ignore it.

Sad.

 

Gosh, when are we going to quit scapegoating the poor Russians!?!

Russians successfully hacked into U.S. voter systems, says official

 

Inky beat me to it. But the fact this administration is doing NOTHING is criminal.

Russians penetrated US voter systems, DHS cybersecurity chief tells NBC

 

Thanks for the update.

 

"Penetrated voter systems" . . . and did what?

Stories always leave that part out. Is there no reporter alive who knows how to ask a follow-up question? Or cares to?

"Copy desk? Official says Russians penetrated voter systems. Let's go with it!"

 

Used the voter data they gathered to help target their online disinformation and advertisement campaigns.

 

Certainly not the ones who wrote the Louis C.K. masturbation story, AIR.

 

FFS. The point is that’s a big fuckin deal. And they can build on it. And I’ll this administration is not only impotent but accommodating.

 

As someone who knows horse racing pretty extensively, this doesn't ring true.

 

"Russians penetrated multiple states' voter registration rolls in the 2016 presidential election."

Unless I have my dates all screwed up, it seems to me the previous administration was impotent and accommodating.

And while we're at it, since 2018 is not a presidential election, and congress voted eleventy billion to one to impose sanctions, EXACTLY WHAT is the goal of meddling in midterms? Let's state the objective now, lest we try to rewrite the narrative to suit us when the results actually come in.

 

Fake news!

Trump supporters share more fake news than anyone else, study shows

 

They definitely fucked up the immediate response. Which led to an asset for foreign ops now being in the Presidency.
