Yeah, it's OK to be stupid as long as you don't look it.

Vote for someone who says global warming is a Chinese hoax.

LOL

So you are sticking with what you would prefer to think, because you don't want to be thought of as 'stupid'?

No, we understood that we were under attack and responded accordingly. The POTUS should have issued an executive order to get to the bottom of the Russian hack attack on his very first day in office. Instead he's been shrieking "Witch Hunt!" for almost two years now and doing everything he possibly can to stop our intelligence and law enforcement agencies from getting to the bottom of this thing - NOT the actions of an innocent man.

Now the results of the coming midterms will inevitably be drawn into question because so little has been done to safeguard our electoral process. The republican party has made it clear that they are interested only in staying in power - not safeguarding our democracy.

Should the Democrats win back the House in November, I guarantee that Trump will suddenly become a believer - "Fake election! It was the Russians who helped the Democrats win!"

Mark my words.

It's already started. The word has already gotten out that election meddling is happening. The seed of doubt has already been planted. A (D) win in Nov means impeachment so tainting the midterms from now would place a big ? on the results of a (D) win. If the (R) keep the seats the hacking attempts were adverted is what would be reported by the WH.

this is how stupid Americans are....our CIA does this 100 times worse to many countries for decades at the level of killing political leaders of other countries and starting wars and regime changes but you are ok with this.


Podesta's and the dnc emails were hacked allegedly by the Russians and we are supposed to go to war because of that? LOL
Great point, everyone likes to condemn Russia, but the CIA is probably doing the exact same thing to another country, or using sneaky ways to destabilize them ,and NO ONE is outraged? Lets drag the CIAs dirty laundry out in the open, so we can talk about that.

Trump is like an addict girlfriend I had long ago.

She would start making excuses a few days before she would go on a bender, just before payday. It was like setting up a narrative for a plausible excuse.

That's what is happening now. Trump should be advocating strong protections and really going after this, but he needs an excuse for what will probably happen next ...

If an eleven year old can hack and change votes then why couldn't an experienced hacker change electoral college votes? What makes America look stupid is the constant spreading of troll rhetoric that's designed to divide our country. There's a thread on CD today complete with pictures on a convincing grid. I see this garbage on Facebook all the time posted by my confused senior friends. They're clueless and believe it like gospel.

So you believe that email servers can be hacked but nothing else? Why? You do realize that our power grid has been hacked and is vulnerable as well. Anything can be hacked, yep even voter results.

Everyone with an IQ over 50 knows The Russians didn't hack the election. Hillary and Obama's Spooks thought up this Trump Russia collusion delusion to deflect from their treasonous act of spying on an opposing campaign i order to try to get something useful to win the election...it didn't work and so they came up with the plan discussed in Andy's office.

At least we know that though Obama did nothing in the face of the Russians "hacking our election", our current great President will make sure they don't.

What does this have to do with your thread title?
However to your initial question, so? The world is full of stupid people. You didn't see evidence of this already?
