global1's JournalIs Anyone Here Thinking That This Russian Hacking Issue Is....
just a convenient deflection for Repugs to take the spotlight away from them stealing enough votes in certain key states to get Trump the electoral votes needed to get over 270?
Sure Russia & Putin were successful in influencing this election - but my feeling is that the knockout punch was the Repugs stealing votes.
Maybe Obama is in the process of gathering info on Repugs actions in this election as well as gathering more info on the Russians.
In order for the American People to have confidence in future elections we need to explore both the hacking issue as well as the voter suppression and the electronic voting machines that can be easily manipulated with lack of a paper trail.
We have these major presidential elections every 4 years. There's enough time in between these elections for all states to shake down their machinery and correct all issues before the next election. In my opinion it is a travesty that on election day we run into all sorts of problems - when all of these problems could have and should have been addressed before the election.
After this election we've learned of many machine malfunctions and questionable issues connected with miscounting, vote changing, etc. This election is over and is now history - but what are we doing now going forward to prevent these same things from happening four years from now.
My Understanding Is That Trump Could Face An Unending Series Of Lawsuits.....
while he is the sitting president - especially if he doesn't divest his business interests.
My question is will we as taxpayers have to pay lawyers that defend him or will he have to use his own lawyers at his own expense?
I Guess With Trump's EPA We'll Have More Communities....
around the country like Flint and now Corpus Christi.
Hell - the Koch Bros alone can be the major polluter - and with Trump as their useful idiot - they won't have to worry about fines.
Mr. Trump - Do You Have Any Evidence To Refute The U.S. Intelligence Agencies About Russian.....
hacking of the election and Putin's interference in it?
Pollsters Should Poll Trump Supporters And Ask Them The Following Questions......
1. Are you willing to send your child to fight a Trump war?
2. Are you willing to see cuts to your Social Security?
3. Are you willing to see cuts to your Medicare?
4. Are you willing to give up your health insurance for vouchers?
5. Are you willing to give up public education?
6. Are you willing to give up all research on climate control?
7. Are you willing to give up progress on alternate sources of energy and let oil dominate?
8. Are you willing to pay more for gas at the pump?
9. Do you want Russia and Putin to have influence on the U.S. Government
These are just a few of the questions that pollsters should ask those who supported Trump and voted for him.
I don't think many of those that voted for him really understood what exactly they were voting for. It would be interesting to see how they would respond to such a poll.
I'm sure there are other questions that could be asked. Feel free to include them in the thread of this post.
In A Year From Now - Which Country Will The U.S. Be At War With?......
Iran, China, Russia, Syria, ???????
Is It Fair To Say Now That Putin Won This Round?.....
Cause it looks to me like we are caving in.
Have Any Of Our Allies Intelligence Agencies Corroborated Putin's Involvement In Hacking....
the U.S. election? UK, Germany, France, Israel?
Wouldn't you think that any of these countries would be plugged into activities that would allow them to gather similar info like the U.S. intelligence agencies?
Has Anyone Here Been Watching 'Designated Survivor' With Kiefer Sutherland?.....
They are portraying a conspiracy inside the government that today looked like it eminated out of the White House.
It's a good program. It's got my interest and won't be back on until March now as today was kind of a season finale.
When you watch a program like this or the other program that's just as good - 'Scandal' - they make you wonder what really goes on behind the scenes.
We're in the midst of what looks like some sort of conspiracy or coup going on - involving the Russians, hackers, Repugs, Trumps people, etc - and we're getting some info trickling out every day that makes the situation seem more dire. Yet you wonder what is going on behind the scenes that somebody knows - and we still don't.
I have sympathy for President Obama - because you have to wonder what he knows; what's going through his mind; and how he might ultimately deal with it.
