This is funny. Poor nca225 needs to explain why it has been OK for Russia to meddle in elections around the world for decades, but it only became a problem when Hillary lost.

Then she (nca225) can explain why it was OK for the DNC to screw Bernie out of the nomination in favor of Hillary. Russian meddling is bad, but DNC meddling is good???

Then it would be really amusing to hear her tell us how it was OK for Obama to spend our tax dollars meddling in the Israeli election in an attempt to defeat Netanyahu.

Now Trump is guilty of treason for talking with Putin, but it was cool for Obama to get caught on an open microphone telling the Russian ambassador he could be "more flexible with Putin after the election". How soon we forget... And how convenient too.

Libtard lies and Libtard sour grapes from someone who has the brain of a tick. Oh, did anyone notice that the real nca225 is back... The one who cannot write or spell? Ghost writer must've taken a day off.

Bravo, Tut. You're not the only Intel Community veteran who feels that way. But we can all be proud of Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats' remarks, reaffirming that the Intelligence Community stands behind its findings on Russian meddling in our elections. If they accomplish nothing else but spreading discord in this country, that's a win for them. That's been their game forever.

Collusion . . . we've yet to see any proof. But when the CIA meddles in elections--which it did on many occasions, especially during the Cold War (to keep the Commies from coming to power via the ballot box)--the tactic certainly involved looking for local politicians with whom to "collude". In the old days, the Russians used local Communists. These days, they're harder to find. But there are plenty of willing dupes who will let the camel's nose into the tent in order to help them win an election.

Stan, when we're able to identify Russian intelligence agents (by name) who've interfered in our elections, I'd say that's pretty good proof.

As for it being "the economy, stupid" . . . do you raise any corn or soybeans down there in GA? Lots of that grown up this way in the Midwest. And that segment of the economy--have you looked at the futures lately?--has taken a sharp nosedive since Trump started messing around with tariffs. Causing many farmers who voted for Trump to wonder whether those tariffs are going to hurt China worse than they'll hurt American farmers. And ag-related industries in general. My father put food on our table making John Deere tractors. Wonder how tractor and combine sales will look this year.

I caught that Keith. Have been chuckling for a while. It seems he gets so gosh darned worked up he can't even spell. And man, is he worked up these past few days!

A sorta kinda on topic article in NYT today.

When the US interfered in other countries' elections, it was done for what was believed to be OUR interests. Russia does not have our interests at heart. Everybody's favorite Democrat, Nancy Pelosi, asked the right question: What does Putin have on Trump? Trump may be ruining the country, but at least we still have our AR 15's.

Bill, exactly like the US, when Russia meddles in foreign countries' affairs, it can be presumed they are doing it to further their own interests, whatever those may be.

So your mantra is "Do as I say do, not as I do", eh Bill?


Larry, I will reply to your post this evening. Hard for me to post lengthy posts on this phone.

Our focus with "meddling", particularly during the Cold War, was what we felt to be the best interests of the US AND of the country in which the meddling was taking place. As in to keep them free of Communism. But meddling can be tricky. Getting rid of Qadhafi, for example, looked to be a good thing for the people of Libya. But in spite of Qadhafi's many faults, he did manage to hold the country together. Now it's basically a failed state. And that is certainly not in the best interests of the US.

Somebody mentioned Netanyahu, another example of what happens when a thug is put in charge of a great country. The difference between him and Trump is that Netanyahu can lie in two languages.
