COVINGTON, La. Sour grapes, explained Bob Marino, 79, weighing in on the recent spycraft bombshell from the corner table of a local McDonalds.
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.
...
In Louisiana, David Gubert, 56, chain-smoked Eagle 20 cigarettes in the cab of his pickup, with stacks of firewood for sale behind him in the bed. Like the Willises, he ruminated on what it would mean if the Russians had gotten involved, and possibly even swung the election.
But Mr. Gubert came to a different conclusion.
If thats what it took, he said, Im glad they did it.

I say, if they can afford those kinds of paint jobs on their vehicles, they are doing pretty well.
Edited to add: Pretty fancy, expensive truck, even without the paint job.
F' em.

(389 posts)Even if they are 'deplorables' it causes people who may be on the fence to vote against you or your party.
We stoop to their level with name calling.... Just saying...

(99,708 posts)None of those gentlemen would have welcomed and countenanced foreign manipulation of our elections. Deplorable is an adjective that needs to be applied to those who do.
Talk Is Cheap
(389 posts)Let me also say that republicans/the_right are the most disgusting group of Americans ever to set foot in America. They are death-dealers, anti-American, anti-civilization and racists.
I guess I am against the use of 'deplorables' because it was a slur (but appropriate) used against republicans in the election. My opinion is that anyone who may have been on the fence - to hear them being called deplorable, works against the idea that Democracts are for (all) the people, and they voted against Dems because of it.
I think the use of the word 'deplorable(s)' must be stopped here at DU because of the use in the elections.

(99,708 posts)"...Democracts are for (all) the people..." that aren't racist, sexist, nativist, anti-semitic, misogynistic et cetera.

(9,886 posts)this whole Russia thing exposes what incredible hypocrites the right is. Not that we didn't know that, this is beyond where I imagined they'd go.

(100,041 posts)It's perfectly OK if a GOP senator or governor has an affair with his 4th mistress. But a Democratic senator or does the exact same thing, he'd be removed from office and we'd never hear the end of it. But it's OK because the GOP senator/governor has God on his side and they'll repent and all will be forgiven.

(9,350 posts)Remember, when they thought she was going to win, without the help of outside forces, they were threatening to start a new civil war. If she had won, they would have said the election was rigged and as a result she should not be allowed to be President. Trump supporters were threatening to go get pitch forks and lanterns. They were threatening to march on Washington, D.C.
If Hillary Clinton had just won the election they would have demanded an NRA approved firing squad and they would have volunteered to be a part of the firing squad. If it had come out that she had won with the help of an outside country that was either at one time an enemy of this country or was currently an enemy of this country it is possible they would be threatening to burn Washington, D.C. to the ground. We might be seeing riots in cities if she had won and it had come out that she had won the election with the help of an outside country.
