Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsThe FBI and the CIA say that we have been attacked by Russia. Our most fundamental act
of self rule has been taken by a foreign power and subverted to its ends. What is our response? The presidential oath says that he, the president, will to the best of his/her ability protect and defend the constitution of the United States. This is his best?
Are we just handing our nation over to a foreign power to do with as they will? If Russia can get away with this we might as well just hand our asses over now and avoid the (republican) rush. There are former republicans spinning in their graves at an unadjectivable speed. But I guess Ayn Rand (and Paul Ryan) is dancing a jig on the graves of democratic folk.
Just an additional note. China is watching our non response to this Russian assault.

(39,375 posts)The info was out there. HRC directly confronted Trump with it in front of 80 million people. And Putin's approval ratings went up.
Thanks, Obama.

Did they really say we were "attacked"?

(289 posts)... like I said in previous posts, I think something is up. I don't see the FBI doing this unless they've talked to someone and there's a plan in place for something to happen. It's just speculation though.
Timing is odd. The weekend before the Electoral votes are cast. You'd think that some electors are going to be busy this weekend. I don't expect much to happen ... but part of me says they may throw the vote to the House which will result in a president Pence ... but that's just a BIG reach.
