If he wasn't, he wouldn't be getting so much resistance.

i get really engaged and excited when snack manufacturers change their logo

Pepsi with the white label messes with my head because I feel I’ve been programmed to associate white packaging with diet food-like substances and this highly corn syruped product stands in stark contrast to these color coding rules that keep our grocery stores from total anarchy.

Russia is not communist anymore

Holy shit

You fucking establishment democrats and your never ending wars.

There is zero rationale to be hostile to Putin other than he represents a big energy market that isn't bound to the petro dollar.

If Russia interfered with our election then you have to acknowledge Israel and Saudi Arabia and half dozen other countries have also been interfering with our elections for decades. Much more successfully I might add.

Everyone gives their side of the story -- aka "Propaganda"

Putin is not why Clinton lost Michigan! That was Bill's fault. She should be blaming her damn husband if she's upset.

i think the real question here is, "how many retarded centrists were lured to the wrong side by russian troll interference?"

or are they sayin' that Russia liek actually hacked ballots?

I avoid soda and vending machine food and chips. If I am running low on electrolytes I try to eat celery, other veggies. Otherwise I just straight up dope my vitamins thru pill form.

Thankfully my water supply is rich in calcium and radioactive phosphates.

Trump is dumb and bad.

[clevergirl]

So Trump during his press conference said "we had worse relations right now than any time in history".

He kinda forgot about the cold war.
Berlin Air lift.
Berlin wall.
Cuban Missile Crisis.

Those times both sides were scrambling jets. The deadmans switch that almost got flipped.

And he claimed. Trump the asshole claimed to have "made it all better in one fell swoop". Whilst placing blame on US, America, the U.S. And on everyone and everything but himself. Like a child in diapers.

I have to say your kind of an ignorant dumb fuck to believe that liar and think everything is "just fine" or going to be "OK". Regardless of what your political views or party. Even a diehard totalitarian death to the universe type politic person like me, can see Trump is inneffectual and just sad. Very sad. Like a two year old who can't be potty trained, but claims to be the best potty user on the planet.

Not even an ounce of reality.

President Trump's response to Russia's multi-pronged cyber attacks, from their malware botnets to their attacks targeting the U.S. energy grid and election systems, has been near non-existent.

The United States Intelligence Agencies have confirmed that a foreign nation interfered with the 2016 American election process.[1] We know two dozen state's election systems came under attack.[2] The Intelligence Agencies heads unanimously agree that the Russians will attack the 2018 election.[3] The cyber security head of the Department of Homeland Security has stated that the Russians had successfully penetrated voter registration rolls in several states before the 2016 election.[4] President Trump's administration has retaliated to these attacks on America's institutions and infrastructure by penalizing Russians, unfortunately President Trump did not mention the sanctions nor the election meddling during his statement on the nerve agent attack in Britain.[5] President Trump has repeatedly called the Russian election interference a hoax.[6] A bipartisan Senate investigation led by Republican Senator Burr found that Putin interfered in the 2016 U.S. election to specifically help Donald Trump.[7]

President Trump's administration has done little to mitigate the threat of Russia attacking the 2018 midterm election.

U.S. officials, including former National Security Advisor General H.R. McMaster, have claimed that this administration has not done enough to dissuade Russian meddling.[8] Most recently President Trump put the brakes on new economic sanctions on Russia, a day after U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley laid out a preliminary plan to impose new sanctions. This decision by President Trump came after the Kremlin denounced the new sanctions plan as international economic raiding.[9] Furthermore, NSA Director Admiral Rodgers testified to Congress that Trump has given no order to counter Russian election meddling.[10] While former National Security Advisor General H.R. McMaster warned of Russian election meddling and publicly denounced their continued attacks, he was removed by President Trump and John Bolton took his place. National Security Advisor Bolton has been pushing to eliminate a top Cyber-Security position in the White House as he attempts to reorganize the National Security Council.[11]

Russia's multi-pronged cyber attacks:

Russian cyber interference goes far beyond hacking election systems. The Department of Homeland Security and the FBI have accused the Russian government of a multi-stage intrusion campaign targeting the U.S. energy grid. These attacks included critical infrastructure in energy, nuclear, commercial facilities, water facilities, and aviation facilities.[12] Here is the report by the United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team where analytic efforts undertaken by DHS and the FBI have found a multistage intrusion campaign perpetuated by the Russian state.[13] This isn't fake news, the United States is under cyber attack from Russia.

This joint Technical Alert (TA) is the result of analytic efforts between the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). This alert provides information on Russian government actions targeting U.S. Government entities as well as organizations in the energy, nuclear, commercial facilities, water, aviation, and critical manufacturing sectors. It also contains indicators of compromise (IOCs) and technical details on the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by Russian government cyber actors on compromised victim networks. DHS and FBI produced this alert to educate network defenders to enhance their ability to identify and reduce exposure to malicious activity.

DHS and FBI characterize this activity as a multi-stage intrusion campaign by Russian government cyber actors who targeted small commercial facilities’ networks where they staged malware, conducted spear phishing, and gained remote access into energy sector networks. After obtaining access, the Russian government cyber actors conducted network reconnaissance, moved laterally, and collected information pertaining to Industrial Control Systems (ICS).

Furthermore, the FBI has attempted to thwart a sophisticated malware system that is linked to Russia's military intelligence agency, the Russian malware has infected hundreds of thousands of routers.[14] The Justice Department has announced actions to disrupt the advanced botnet malware system. It is recommended to restart your router as it may be infected.[15]

Here's some gross pedotrump talking and court documents documenting his alleged grossness:

Younger than 14. She looks like she’s 11. And listen to her squeeky little kid voice. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ki9Y_GTTN_8

No healthy minded man jokes about dating young girls like that. But Trump is good old buddies with Jeffrey Epstein. They’re even in lawsuits together. https://www.politico.com/f/?id=00000...8-b6fe46f40000

That lawsuit claims underaged sexual abuse during the same time that escalator video was filmed. No doubt Trump had young buns on the brain.

The wild thing about that lawsuit, is that one of the witnesses was an Epstein employee who told some horrendous stories during her deposition.

Hey. And here is convicted child rapist Epstein pleading the 5th when asked about Trump and underaged girls.

And the Florida DA that prosecuted Epstein after he (fucked an underaged employee at Mara Lago) gave Epstein a slap on the wrist. That Florida DA was given a cabinet position in the Trump administration.

I love the gaslighting that’s been done to the Trump supporters. They thought Hillary was running a child sex slave ring while thinking Trump was busting these sex trafficking rings and setting children free. But if they’d looked a little further, they’d see one of Trumps business partners a Russian Turk named Tevfik Arif... is an actual sex trafficker (though charges were dropped). He founded Bayrock Group. He helped build the Trump soho amongst other Trump properties. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tevfik_Arif

That Trump. That Grand Old Party. What a bunch of scum bags.

Oh yeah. And here’s Uncle Luke of 2 live crew noping out of a Trump party filled with underage Russian girls https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TRLpVhYtKPA

This "man". Is quite possibly one of the grossest people to walk this earth (sadly). He's not hitler, Putin is Hitler. Putin is OK with the extermination of undesirables. Trump just wants to be "like hitler" aka "Like Putin". He's definitely the Mango Mussolini.

Except 100x more traitorous. and 1000x more pathetic. And 1 million times more fat and stroked out on cholesterol and aluminum toxins from diet coke cans.

If you wanna get mad and stay mad, go right ahead. I'm not trying to "convert you" to liberalism or democracy. I'm calling you people fucking worms. Because that's what you are. When you support people like Trump.
