Trump is now president and the Russians actively interfered in our elections is gearing up to do the same.

We now know that Trump lied when he said Russian meddling was a hoax.

It is time we addressed the issue with real sanctions and cyber retaliation, but we are sitting on our asses because of the fat man now in the oval office.



Cyber retaliation?


Do you want Republicans to work in the DNC's poor cyber security for them?

This is horrible news.

Today I learned that people on the internet, in the news, and in ads aren't always honest with me.

And the topper: even States themselves aren't always honest. If you can't trust the government then who can you trust?



I know you guys can't see me but I'm crying behind my rose-colored glasses. It's going to take weeks for me to get over this.

The Russians did in fact hack the DNC, is a few million social media posts with fake actors to get trump elected considered significant.

Anyone that tried to prevent queen Hillary from being coronated is a Russian agent it seems
Yeah this is all just a democrat and Hillary hoax. Before they were all deplorables and white supremacist. That didn't work so now they're all Russian agents.

LOL. We could do a lot of different things. hacking them back, DOS attacks, etc etc.

Personally I prefer more physical methods-like say lobbing a tomahawk missile into the buildings these folks operate from. I DO view this as exactly what the Russians termed it. Warfare. warfare is warfare no matter how you frame it-ie informational warfare is what they called it.

Also amazing that some social media posts overcame Hillary's billion dollar campaign and having the media on her side

Trump is now president and the Russians actively interfered in our elections and is gearing up to do the same for the midterms.

We now know that Trump lied when he said Russian meddling was a hoax.

Agreed. Trump needs to step up.

Let's hope the DNC, and this will surprise you, the RNC, has taken precautions against Russian cyber attacks. I don't want to read internal emails from either party.

Republicans I suspect were also hacked into, but Russians backed the Republicans, hence no WikiLeaks episodes.

The DNC having poor cyber security is not any Republians fault. That is all on them
