    I won't believe there's anything to the notion that there was actual fudging of votes by Russia until there is some reallllllly damn good evidence of that.

    That being said, anyone who denies that they influenced the election at all is absolutely nuts.

    I've seen nutty idiots on Facebook and Twitter saying it, but nobody takes that seriously (I would hope). That said, I was referring to the story with the suggestion that voting systems may have been compromised.

    the manipulating votes would have been caught due to the systems in place according to people who'd know

    the question becomes whether voting registration records could have been manipulated to keep people from being able to vote

    I mean what ethical reason(s) would the Trump campaign/administration have for this close of a relationship with Russia? How can that not but enter the most fervent supporter's mind?

    I feel like that would have been easy'ish to identify just by anecdotal stories from folks who have never had problems with voting suddenly coming off the list.

    The strongest argument I've seen in favor of warmer ties with Russia is because Obama/Hillary stoked hostilities and made us less safe by antagonizing a dictator with the world's largest nuclear arsenal. Which, sure, I would've liked to see HRC back off on her most strident anti-Russian rhetoric, and us backing off of incorporating more countries into NATO might've been a good strategy. But to think that Putin wasn't going to play Trump like the mongoloid fiddle he is was spectacularly naive and utterly ignorant of Russian intelligence tactics.

    Also it ignores Trump's myriad business ties over there of course, but that's its own topic.

    And the fact that they were going to relieve them of sanctions... for what? Idk. I guess in return for hacking our election??

    The argument for lifting sanctions usually follows the same line of thought that it will supposedly placate Russia and reset relations even though it completely fucks over Ukraine.

    Maybe that would've been true under Bush or earlier in Obama's presidency. But as soon as Yanukovich got overthrown, Putin allegedly started to view his conflict with the west as an existential one. He's not gonna stop until we bow down to him and give him back the entire Soviet bloc. Which makes Trump's lack of a commitment to NATO rather, ah, interesting.

    Ive got nothing other than that article + Clapper saying they caught the Russians perusing the voter rolls in certain states.

    Then you look at 36 yr old twat Jared Kushner boasting to journalists about some epic computer modeling he sanctioned to microtarget voters; "Jared approached Silicon Valley because Jared loves Silicon Valley" is all there was to it.

    Then you look at the election results.

    for the record - I don't know there is any veracity to the Intercept story or the Kushner stories.

    What is true is that Clapper said something like the Russians engaged "in an information gathering or recon ordering mode, where they were investigating voter registration rolls". So that can't be questioned. The rest is just conspiracy theory fodder.

    Just fucking imagine if Russians helped GOP candidates win by keeping people off the roles (something they obviously wants to do). This would make some sense to why those traitorous dogs have yet to do shit about Trump.

    My grad school university president is apparently up for the FBI director job. I think I'd take university president over FBI director under Trump. That's a good way to end up in jail.

    Conservative talk radio kind of fascinates me, so I listen to it quite a bit when I'm in the car.

    Just to give you an idea about the universe that Trump people inhabit, think about what I just heard on Hannity's radio show. He has some "legal expert" on, and they are talking about the travel ban and things like "judge shopping." Hannity blurts out that the 9th circuit has 80% of its rulings overturned by the Supreme Court and the legal expert concurs. This would be physically impossible. While the 9th circuit apparently has around 80% of its cases that are actually heard by the Supreme Court overturned, the Supreme Court overturns around 70% total and the 9th circuit isn't even the "worst" in this regard.

    seeing as the primary job of the supreme court is resolving circuit splits id be shocked if there were many circuits with a >50% winrate in supreme court.

    maybe the DC circuit wins more often than the others.

    When John Pistole showed up at the Oval Office he signed in with the receptionist who he knew by first name as head of TSA under Obama. When he walked through the door he was greeted by Mike Pence and Donald Trump and some others. Trump said something to the effect of "Welcome to the Oval Office. First time here?" At that point President Pistole shared that he had actually been there 74 times prior.

    I heard this story from some staff who President Pistole shared it with. I am left wondering three things:

    1. Did trump try to big dick him here?
    2. Is Trump so uninformed that he didn't even know that the guy he was interviewing for FBI director was head of the TSA?
    3. Has Trump even been in that office 74 times yet?

    in some ways it's not their fault. i majored in political science, so someone like me has some idea about how the federal court system works. does the guy listening to hannity in his work truck in between jobs? hannity and co. saying that liberals are elitists or whatever is lame but misleading people on facts because he's betting that they don't know any better is just vile.
