US Warns Russia: Don't Mess With Our Election

The U.S. government has warned Russia not to interfere with the presidential election today or face "serious consequences," a senior U.S. official told ABC News.

The private warning followed an unusual public condemnation from America's top intelligence official, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, who said the Kremlin's "senior-most officials" must have authorized cyberattacks on American individuals and political institutions, including the hack of the Democratic National Committee this summer.

"The recent disclosures of alleged hacked emails... are consistent with the methods and motivations of Russian-directed efforts," the Office of the Director of National Intelligence said in a joint statement with the Department of Homeland Security on Oct. 7. "These thefts and disclosures are intended to interfere with the U.S. election process."

The juvenile things this president has done are legion.

I'm not a big Putin fan, but this is just embarrassing.

But... but... the media has told me over and over that the election can’t be messed with, it’s physically impossible!

The media always tells me the truth, don’t they?

Now we are being told that the russkies can do it?

I’m confused... not!

Russia: "We don't need to mess with your election."

"Your Democrats are already messing with your election."

Why would a hacker - who can choose any IP address they want - choose to use one that the regime says is associated with Russia? It’s like cutting out letters from a newspaper to write out a ransom note and then putting a return address of “From Russia”. Or lighting a church on fire and then spray-painting the place with “Vote For Trump”. These people think we’re idiots.

DHS claimed that the Russians could not hack all these separate state voting systems. But just in case, the states should have the DHS fox come “secure” their systems for them. And the kicker is, this article says that 48 states took the DHS up on their offer to “help” - and let the fox raid their henhouse!

Crooked, crooked, crooked! The greatest threat to this nation is stupid people trusting crooked people.

The question for this election is whether the real vote is enough to make it impossible for the fox to steal the election, now that the feds have usurped access to the Constitutionally-mandated STATE control of elections... and whether, if Trump wins the election, Obama will use that as an excuse to start war with Russia, so he can use either martial law or an EMP attack to carry out his claim in July of 2008 that he would be “dealing with” world leaders for “the next 8 to 10 years”.

These folks are not even being logical

Republicans build strong militaries and start wars
Democrats tear down the military and withdraw from wars

Hillary has proven to be blackmailable and will sell anything to anyone for the price.

She sold off US uranium stocks to Russia

She is weak and indecisive and ineffective
She is surrounded by limp wristed washed up peaceniks and fellow comrades

Democrat social policies are tearing America down and apart
We wont hardly have time to tweak Russia when we are in a civilsocial war at home

Now logically, why wouldn't the Russians prefer Hillary in the Oval Office? For Putin, dealing with Hillary would be like playing checkers with a muddled child

So General Clapper and all those other strategy analysts
WHY would the Russian prefer a strong on defense effective businessman over a weak idiot of a woman, assuming they want the USA to be weakened out of super power status?

Obama needs to look in the mirror. We messed with Israel’s election. We messed with the Brexit vote. We messed with Columbia’s vote on that sell-out peace agreement.
