Cranky old rednecks certainly are on Facebook.

I have a number of cranky old redneck relatives. The vile, hateful posts they were sharing prior to the election turned my stomach.

Many of them brag about starting their day reading Trump's tweets.

Same as it ever was. Not a good excuse for Hillary's loss, sorry.

Conservatives think the Russian meddling is about one thing, maybe two things, and they don't understand why the investigation is taking so long. Don't we want to make sure this can't happen again? Next time, maybe the Russians do help someone win and maybe next time it's someone you don't want to win

What conservative radio show? There will be a transcript of the show...


What happen, again? Russia buying a lot of ad's?

Don't change your subject, meddling and changing votes are 2 separate subjects.....


Collusion is a crime?

This is a patently stupid comeback. First, I've never said this is why Hillary lost. I'm not sure I even care at this point. I truly believe this is not a red issue or a blue issue, but an American issue. We are not doing anything to make the 2018 safer.

And are the Russians also responsible for Dems losing over 1,000 seats?

Good grief......Dems have created a whole new dimension to “cluelessness.”

Here is what I dont get. In the article, they talk about how the Russians used the hacked Podesta emails to distract from the Access Hollywood tapes.

So the only real difference is that in one case, it was the media trying to destroy a presidential candidate with the truth, while in the other case, it was a foreign government trying to destroy a presidential candidate with the truth.

So what I dont get, is, why is one wrong and not the other?

I wasn't changing the subject. And I've never said there was provable collusion between the Russians ad the Trump campaign. I have said that is why there is an ongoing investigation. You've got your Trump-colored glasses on when we should all be wanting to make sure our elections are safe from foreign interference.
