    I don't read French.

    However I know that emails generally provide unfiltered correspondence. I would expect that there are embarrassing exchanges.

    Luckily, the rooskies were too late.

    This is me formally acknowledging that Wikileaks is an instrument of the Russian directorate.

    Do you ever sleep? It's like almost 0600 on the east coast! [emoji23]

    Is there anything we can learn France's elections as far as Russia goes? Part of the problem for Russia is that Frances election cycle is significantly shorter than ours. (Less "exposure" to their operations). The media blackout managed to negate their last desperate efforts as well.

    This is the baffling part. Maybe Russia weren't really in the can with LePen and just wanted to destabilize the election? Or they wanted to show Merkel a bit of foreshadowing? Or they just had all this info and thought it was silly not to drop it. Or maybe Macron just had better security than Hillary? I hope, but kinda doubt, that France will do an investigation.

    This should lay to rest any lingering doubts that Trump wasn't aided massively by Russian intelligence.

    Their objective is to destabilize and fracture EU/NATO.

    Another conspiracy theorist. Man you guys watch too much Hollywood. So many movies that brainwash you into thinking that Russia is this evil menace.

    God forbid that the rich white men get their money taken away and it gets given to the poor.

    Yea and do the ends justify the means?

    Pipito you are in support of the Leftist ideology. Translation we should take money away from rich white men and give to the poor and homeless.

    Now I think that is a noble theory/suggestion. So yea Russia looks like this mean bad bear...but what if they are only doing what they are doing so we can all live in a Socialist utopia??

    That isn't going to change. The longer the cycle, the more money there is to be made.

    I don't see anyone using the word "evil". What Russia did is probably not very surprising to anyone that's been paying attention. This is all part of the geopolitical gamesmanship that goes back to even before Putin. And let's not pretend like the US hasn't done much worse to other countries, including Russia.

    But none of that excuses an American president injecting this stuff into our democratic process for personal gain. That's s new low even by GOP standards.

    What the fcuk are you talking about? Clapper has specifically confirmed Russian interference in our elections. This has been confirmed by everyone, even Trump's own CIA director pick Pompeo.

    Do you follow the news, or do you just post random words?

    Well I'll be mother********ed.

    Comey's last minute statement was caused by what he said in the summer. And he said what he said in the summer based on emails he knew were fake. He apparently believed that he had to pretend they were real because to expose them as fake would reveal sources and methods.

    WIth a healthy, healthy assist from a bunch of cowards in the media, the FBI, and the GOP, there's no question now that the Russians hacked our election.

    Bump

    The next elected president should offer Gorsuch his old seat if he resigns from the Supreme Court. If he doesn't take the deal, that person should expand the Court by two seats, and nominate Garland for one seat. For the other seat, nominate the youngest, most liberal person they can find.

    There is not a constitutionally set number of seats on the Supreme Court. It was originally set at six seats by statute, has had as many as 10 seats, and was set at the current nine seats in 1869.

    FDR tried to increase the size of the court up to as many 15 seats, but Congress balked.

    There are many people that will never believe that Russian hacking happened during the election, many of them are on the far left.

    Not on Sajak, but on the people retweeting him.
