Funny lot you Trump supporters are.

The intelligence community produced a combined document on the so call Russian hacking ( available on a PDF ).

The major section stated the "No votes were changed "

This statement I suspect was demanded by the FBI to be included.
FBI Director Comey keeps his job, CIA Director Brennan given the boot.

Just what did the nasty Russians Do ??

We are not allowed to be told, it involves national Sucurity !
Maybe all they did was post a few anti Hillary things on Youtube !
Ask the US inteligence community now weather it happened !
It is a con and a joke, only simple people believed it.

The founder and president of McAffee who said he has 40 years experience on internet communications, recently stated that security organisations who do try and brake into secured systems do not leave any fingerprints. He said if the KGB tried this, they would do it via a server in South Africa as an example, and it is impossible to trace. This interview is on Youtube.

Now this crazy lefty dogma about Russia.

Russia has not ever killed any Americans, Obama's middle Eastern partners have !

Russia is a Christian country, Obama's client states were not.

Russia does not want to make the world an Islamic Caliphate, Obama's client states did, and still do.

Russia does not arm Islamic terrorist groups, Obama and the US did.

Russia has come out of the Syrian disaster as the only good guy !

Russia has actually been the good guys in the world over the past 8 years as the US lost its once dominant credibility.

Russia is on the outer with the EU / UN / Obama because it refuses to be part of the new world ( left wing ) order !

I would much rather live is a safe Russia that just wants peace and cooperation with a Trump led USA, than in Obama's Nuclear emboldened Iran, Saudi Arabia, Libya etc.

It is a no brainer !


Un informed lot you NON Trump supporters are

So over the weekend Trump makes good on his promise to ban muslim's from entering the USA. During the campaign he promised a total ban on all muslims. Then he revised that to muslims from countries that were terror prone and difficult to vet.

His EO invokes 9/11 as the reason for the ban. But strangely his ban doesn't include the countries where the terrorists came from.

And more strangely the ban seems to exclude countries he has business dealings with.

He's a great con man, that is for sure.

Can't wait for the justification on this one from the Trump supporters here. Should be some interesting cut'n'pastes from alt-right-wing websites coming up.

I'm picturing either of these:

1. A huge bloke locked in a dark bed room in front of his PC with a tin foil hat.

or

2. A troll bot in a FSB 'fake news" centre sitting with hundreds of other comrades and feverishly posting on Western forums / news sites.

I wonder if he started his account here a while back, and sat dorment until he got the go ahead from his handler to start posting, or if he hacked into the real users account and started his job then.

His efforts are very entertaining and absolutely hilarious

Probably something to do with the relationship the USA and Saudi Arabia has, the USA buys oil, the Saudis appear to be operating US Military equipment and in return the USA lets the Saudis run their messed up backwards society.

Its like my relationship with my landlord, I'd love to break his nose and pull his teeth out with my pliers but he is a good customer of mine too so I look the other way.

1: Can the results be rigged by manipulating the machines to register different tallies and can the results be intercepted and altered when transmitted to the central office for tallying.

2: Did the Russians interfere (not rig) the narrative of the election. Did they co-ordinate their efforts with Trump's team.

There is no evidence to suggest that 1 happened. There is evidence to suggest that 2 happened, at least in part with the Russians supplying wikileaks with damaging information that Trump used in his campaign.

Point 2 is agreed to even by Trump, that the Russians were active in the election process. He claims it made no difference. It is still being investigated. The end result is sanctions and people being expelled by the USA which had bilateral support from both the Democrats and Republicans.

What isn't know and is murky is whether Trump's team co-ordinated their efforts with Russia. There are accusations that this has happened. We will have to wait and see what is proven.

The other point is voter fraud as claimed by Trump where millions of votes were cast fraudulently by supporters of Hillary.

He claims
1: People appear on more than 1 state's roll.
2: Dead people are enrolled to vote
3: Illegals voted.

Points 1 and 2 happen and are not against the law. Trump's own children are enrolled in 2 states. He seemed to forget this and it's somewhat embarrassing that he has accused his own children of fraud.

Point 3 is not proven. Nobody apart from Trump believes there was voter fraud.

Hope that clears it up for you

There's a difference between 'hacking' and 'leaked'. Julian Assange has said on numerous occasions that the Russians had nothing to do with her emails - I tend to believe him simply because of all the data he has provided thus far has been proven to be 100% authentic.

He might even have some mud on Trump )

They have proof the persons involved were associated with the Russians.

Assange can't be believed.

Trump admits the Russians were involved. Why can't you accept it as well

And a little bit more on this Russian influence.

It was suggested that part of the aim of this "influence" was to turn Bernie Sanders supports off voting at all. I heard a lot of discussion about this prior to the election where Sanders supporters were in a lather about Clinton and said the would abstain from voting rather than vote for Clinton.

It appears that this tactic was pretty successful and if true is ironic that Sanders fan boys played a (passive) part in electing Trump

I like how the Hillary supporters were quick to blame Russia for the leaked emails etc, but not once did they actually deny the contents were true.

So really, all Russia did (allegedly) was tell the American voters what was really going on.
