NYT: Whats the Big Deal? Ask Trump Voters on Russia Hacking Report

Scary lot those ignorant and pliant Trump supporters. Their devotion to Trump is a very dangerous thing.

COVINGTON, La. — “Sour grapes,” explained Bob Marino, 79, weighing in on the recent spycraft bombshell from the corner table of a local McDonald’s.

“Sour grapes,” agreed Roger Noel, 65, sitting next to him.

“Bunch of crybabies,” Reed Guidry, 64, offered from across the table.

The subject of conversation was the report released by United States intelligence chiefs on Friday informing President-elect Donald J. Trump of their unanimous conclusion that President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia ordered an extensive, but covert, cyberoperation to help Mr. Trump win the election. The Russians had hacked and leaked emails, unleashed “trolls” on social media and used their “state-run propaganda machine” to spread stories harmful to Hillary Clinton.

Stealing an election with the aid of a foreign enemy dictator = No big deal

Gotta love Drumpf supporters.

what is in the report. They didn't read it, won't read it and probably would not comprehend it if they did read it.

We have a miseducated population with poor reading skills and little if any critical thinking skills. It sounds harsh to say, but it's true. This is why we are in so much trouble now.

Hillary there would be a million nitwits protesting in Washington. They would want a do-over, they would be demanding Hillary be executed for treason. I have seen some right here on DU that refuse to believe the Russians had anything to do with it.
