    Haven't we already had enough of the fringe right screaming about "Who's paying you" and "Soros/Clinton/Establishment/Jew/Illuminati agent!" on this forum? Now the left is starting with the same sort of stuff? Am I the only one posting here for free?

    We're the ones who are more aware than most Americans, politically.

    A large percentage of our people blindly believe the media, but they aren't the kind of people who visit these forums.

    According to James Clapper, this is just the tip of the iceberg. There were aware of this sort of activity before he left office.

    Beyond that, I didn't say anything about what effect it might have had. There is little doubt that it did have an effect because I see rw posters here posting from Russia Today and Sputnik news. But it is hard to know if something is Russian or just alt-right. They are all but one in the same.

    I think we have more than 5 ... but honestly they mostly comment on Syria, and Ukraine. Clinton / Trump doesn't appear to concern posters that I suspect are eastern Europeans. "Latest US & World News" seems to be where Europeans talk politics. Posters with a Russian narrative to sell can't be any worse than leftists selling an MSM narrative ... I say let 'em post til their hearts content.

    Then why don't you write the intelligence community and tell them all about it; since you're an expert and they are rank amateurs and all.

    Where did you study? How much experience do you have in intelligence and espionage?

    I have no divine insights.

    You must have me confused with someone else.

    I can only speak for myself: If the Russians did release anything, I weighed it against what American networks like CNN, MSNBC, etc have said.(And yes, I do actually view articles from them from time to time. Whenever it's not too bias'd.) Discerning lies and truth is always a part of a critical thinker.

    Hillary wasn't charged with a crime, but there were questions that should've been resolved. Unfortunately, it feels like she got a clean pass. At least in terms of the law. Fine, be that as it may but did that mean she was qualified to be President? No.

    Trump wasn't qualified either, especially not after Pussay video. I didn't like either one. But my Nationalism was pre-Russian. I literally got involved in the third position by 2010, when I was dissauded from Democrats, hated Republicans. Still hate the Repubs.

    More likely a DNC Propaganda Site.

    What does that mean? It doesn't even make sense as a bad joke?

    I'm really annoyed by the "republican" posters who are insisting Trump has sold out his base, and become a liberal democrat ... For all their claims of intellectual superiority this lame tactic is the best they've come up with?

    For sure bro. It's almost like we're seeing the 1 party system, that acts like a 2 party system, having to act like a 1 party system.

    Interesting times :)

    Early on, during the primaries, I said Trump was as much a conservative (D) as a liberal (R). I'm (I) and find myself exactly wher Trump falls ... in the center. Amnesty with a wall. Abortion without subsidies. Choice on education, tax relief, trade reform, defense. Centerists have been absent so long neither party recognizes them, and has no place for them either. I was hoping Trump could help blur the line between right & left, but both parties establishments are mired in "all or nothing" ideology. Trump didn't create the schism, he's only drawn attention to it.

    What a crock. Lets not go back to the Russia Russia Russia BS.

    Face it Hillary was a lousy crooked candidate, and that is why she lost. Grow up, live with it.

    ______

    I remember working as Special Armed Security at the RCA Global Communications building in lower Manhattan at 60 Broad Street back in the early 80's. I know for a fact that the top two floors of the building were occupied by NSA, and multi-intelligence agencies spying on communications of Americans. In fact ITT was close by.
    The facilities on Broad St. were in direct communications with the facilities located outside multi-national intelligence groups in Cheltenham, UK. I agree that billions, perhaps trillions have been invested. Meta-Data was being collected long before Bush 43 was elected.
