Why are you apparently so untroubled by Russian meddling?

Had it gone the other way would you be blaming Trump's campaign while ignoring the Russians?

Don't act like anything Hillary did/didn't do somehow excuses the Russians for anything they did.

Trump in Helsinki was much better than Obama's 8 year apology tour. I realized that Obama won the election and I just made money on the market that he helped by giving trillions to his rich fat cat Wall Street bankers that elected him.

Does anyone agree with what Trump said at that presser?
Trumpistas are confused.... They are waiting for Fox news to tell them what the talking points are. Proceed with caution.

That is absurd because the false narrative is all about criticizing Trump 24/7 in the hopes it will damage him politically. They and you know Trump didn't break any laws with regards to Russia, and they have been trying to screw with western democracies for decades now.

The left is just upset that Russians efforts to hack into the RNC and the like were fruitless, yet the dirty underbelly of the DNC along with Hillary & Co (one in the same) was exposed.
I'd bet dollars to donuts they would have hoped everything that came out about the (D's) had remained a secret, thus giving them a better chance to win.
But put the blame where it belongs, which is squarely on Obama's shoulders and that of Hillary to have made it so easy to expose their underhanded dealings and dirty laundry.

HILLARY 2020 (please let it be true) !

What we witnessed today qualifies as treason...and that is not hyperbole. Here is a quote from Thomas Friedman who leans liberal but is not a flame thrower

Quote:
Everything that happened in Helsinki today only reinforces that conclusion. My fellow Americans, we are in trouble and we have some big decisions to make today. This was a historic moment in the entire history of the United States.

There is overwhelming evidence that our president, for the first time in our history, is deliberately or through gross negligence or because of his own twisted personality engaged in treasonous behavior — behavior that violates his oath of office to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

Trump vacated that oath today, and Republicans can no longer run and hide from that fact. Every single Republican lawmaker will be — and should be — asked on the election trail: Are you with Trump and Putin or are you with the C.I.A., F.B.I. and N.S.A.

so where was obama, who ADMITTED that russia was behind the cyber attacks, BUT DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT THEM. remember this happened on obama watch, not trumps. and the only reason liberals hate russia now, rather disingenuously i might add. is becaue trump won the election, and you need someone to blame because apparently hillary was this perfect candidate so it couldnt be her fault she lost now could it?


the fact is that you liberals lambasted romney when he said that russia was a geopolitical foe. so i guess you guys loved russia in 2012, and didnt start hating russia until your master obama told you to hate russia.


here is an inconvenient fact for you, the US government interferes with elections AROUND THE WORLD, and in a similar manner to what russia is claimed to have done. and the fact that you ignore that si part of your hypocrisy.
Folks on the right keep repeating this as if it's true. STOP WITH THE FAKE NEWS!

Obama placed sanctions, closed compounds and sent a big number packing. It all came out on the same day as the "Grab em by the p***y" tape.

Trump has also placed sanctions, expelled Russian diplomats, and strengthened our military

As long as the FBI, CIA, NSA and all the other Alphabet Boys are droning, torturing and killing brown and black folks Republicans are highly supportive. Now that the alphabet boys are exposing Trump's treason and Putin's oops Republicans are anti Law Enforcement.
