I for one would like to be back on offense. After the StephieStepOnAnElephant interview we are back on defense.

Requiring Voter ID so the millions of Illegal Invaders who are in our Country don’t get away with Voting in the 2020 Election?

[kaehurowing]

Does that mean they now support voter ID?

"the nation’s intelligence agencies said from early 2017 that it was clear Russia tried to influence the 2016 election in favor of Trump"

The Russians betrayed the democrat party and demRATs will never get over it.

“it’s part of “what the American people elected us to do.”

Ahhh, no

Hey let’s make sure only US CITIZENS are allowed to vote by making it necessary to show ID. Otherwise foreigners could interfere with our elections!

So are they going to propose voter ID?

Even though the nation’s intelligence agencies said from early 2017 that it was clear Russia tried to influence the 2016 election in favor of Trump, Republicans who led both chambers did not move comprehensive legislation to address the issue.

So, the Russians influenced the election in favor of Trump by failing to give Hillary the level of assistance she needed to win?

In reality, as I am sure the author of this screed knows, that is not what the intel assessment was at all. The assessment was that the Russians were attempting to interfere in the electoral process, which is not even close to the author’s claim at all. Yes, Russian bots posted messages on forums meant to influence voters. Yes, bot (not necessarily Russian) messages on forums were 40% pro-Trump. Yes, Russian actors did approach the Trump campaign, sometimes at the behest of the Hillary campaign, to attempt to establish influence. No doubt, these attempts stemmed from their assessment that Hillary was likely to lose, and they wanted to ensure the same level of influence over the American executive branch that they held during the Obama administration. What none of these facts add up to is that Trump in any way cooperated with Russia.

This amounts to another example of how the media takes individual sound bites and weaves them into something that no one ever said, expecting that their audience is too stupid and inattentive to recognize the actual basis of the sound bites. Sadly, a significant portion of their audience is as stupid as the mainstream media judges them to be.
