Two friends of mine who post lots of pro democratic anti trump stuff were hacked today.

I have to wonder if this is the Russians. I feel like a nut case with a tin foil hat, but I truly believe they are trying to silence us. I would not be surprised to see DU hacked tomorrow.

Trump lives for revenge and no slight is too small. If he's allowed to continue to consolidate power there will come a time when he is outing message board poster publicly and asking his followers to assault them.
