WASHINGTON (AP) — Some tactics Russia used to meddle in last year's presidential election would give shivers to anyone who believes in American democracy, the Senate intelligence committee's top Democrat says.

And what is their proposal to remedy the situation?

World War 3?

Man oh man, those Russians have been busy....they just n-e-v-e-r stop the interference.

Just last week, despite heavy investments, Democrats lost again.....they failed to flip Zero Seats in Four Blue State Special Elections.

This latest Democrat humiliation by the Russians occurred right after DNC genius Tom Perez bragged Democrats would show that their resistance to Trump could be translated into electoral victories.

To add insult to injury, the Minnesota, Connecticut, Virginia Democrat losses are the states the Russians threw to Hillary in the 2016 presidential election.

Warner knows our government has done exactly the same things to influence elections in other countries, but he thinks we don’t know it.

All this because Hillary lost. The Democrats are anti-democracy, the Republicans are anti-thinkoutsidethe box, and the MSM is anti-American. And now they blame the Russians?

LOL! Yeah, I read yesterday that some “knowledgeable” actress believes that if Trump is tossed out of office, hildabeast gets the job. Must have been a good study in civics class. Which of course they no longer teach in middle or high school I don’t believe.

I think that some time length of a chance would be warranted, frankly. Throwing up one’s hands and declaring internecine war isn’t the answer in my opinion at this point.

We had a miraculous revolution in this election. A president elected even over massive illegal and Democrat voter fraud, multiple actions via rescinding EOs, new EOs and a BUTTLOAD of Democrat black robe ‘legislation from the bench.’

Because we still have RINOs and a leadership in Congress that doesn’t have a spine from which to hang a pair of balls isn’t a reason to just completely trash our President because Ted Cruz or whoever didn’t get our nomination. 62 million people spoke.

We either come down to earth and coalesce on our side and start fighting the real problem - liberals, or we collectively die. I’m so damned tired of this.

I’ve got a feeling that Clintoon believes this also. I know Clintoon is trying to keep the Clintoon Crime Family Foundation afloat by going out and doing $200,000 “speeches” again but I also believes that she thinks that she is on the verge of taking the throne any day now. She’s a loon.

Good thing we control both houses and the presidency so we can focus on investigating Hillarys email server and the Clinton Foundation. Oh wait.... The Republicans are so pathetic. How does this happen when Dems control nothing!?

As Tucker Carlson said the Russians spend more money trying to halt fracking than anything.

Hillary Anti Fracking

Trump Pro Fracking

Russia wanted Hillary

Simple. The Media controls leftist Democratic lawyers. Leftist Democratic lawyers control Rino lawyers. Therefore the Media sets the script for both sets of leftist lawyers.

Regardless of the issue, the one thing the dementocrats do is they stick together. Not nearly as much obvious backstabbing as the republicrats do. Behind closed doors, probably but out in the open, meh.

I can’t believe I voted for that RINO “DICK” Burr. When has he ever investigated anything related to the real crimes of Hillary Clinton?

I’m waiting for breaking “news” that the Russians were directly responsible for the Crooked One’s bout of “pneumonia” as well.

“Regardless of the issue, the one thing the dementocrats do is they stick together.”

I agree, they put party first - themselves second - and country last.

I’m watching this hearing and they’re using the word “Soviet”.

Excellent news, Liz. Thanks for the ping. Wasn’t aware that the Russians were still doing good work. :- )
