    That you don’t care about Russian espionage so long as it’s aimed at the dnc

    The near future should have some surprises for all of us. For a year and a half trump has been pleading "fake news" and "no collusion". We now have learned that trump has been involved in collusion with Russia at least two weeks prior to the inauguration. On top of that being aware of Russia's involvement and attempting to cover it up by screaming "no collusion - fake news", he has probably left himself wide open for 'obstruction of justice'. It's almost time for the fat lady to sing.

    That's okay - it was a rhetorical question. I really don't care what makes the Lefties who are attacking our democracy think they are any better than the Russians.

    I would take that another step further and say it’s the left and right partisan fake news media that is a more damaging influence on the average American than any Russian meddling.

    Dude, you haven’t said anything to deflect. Sad.

    Meanwhile, the FBI director appointed by Trump disagrees on the Russian question: https://www.cnn.com/2018/07/18/politics/wray-russia-meddling-contrast-trump/index.html
    FBI Director Christopher Wray said Wednesday that Russia was engaging in real-time "malign influence operations" against the United States and called the country the "most aggressive actor" in the space of election interference. The wide-ranging interview at times placed him in contrast with the President, who spent the week waffling on rhetoric to describe Russia's threat.

    Speaking with NBC News anchor Lester Holt at a national security forum in Aspen, Colorado, Wray said the Russian operations were "very active" and "aimed at sowing discord and divisiveness in this country."
    Wray also said that his "view has not changed" on the fact, established by the 2017 intelligence community assessment, that "Russia attempted to interfere with the last election."

    When you say 'he should cut off diplomacy" are you saying the U.S. should sever its relations and lines of communication with Russia?

    The dnc is not America. I don’t care what happened to the dnc. Your claim was that the Russians hacked the US election. That’s false but if true would be something I am against. But again, 0 number of ****s could be given about the stuoid idiots at the dnc who don’t know how to make a password.

    That right there is patently false. Nobody helped Trump beat the Skankipotimus but Hillary herself. Even the left knows this. It's sour grapes and a contrived excuse. :grin:

    No I’m saying we shouldn't be discussing new deals with a nation that’s attacking us

    And accomplished nothing, thus I’m not losing my mind over it. Increase cyber security and impose actions against Russia that are at a fair level with what Russia did. What else do you want done? Nuke Moscow?

    Dude deflection is literally all you can do. Since you seem to have a very very very short memory let’s review how we got here.

    You were crying about how trump was being mean to your precious media and not Russia.

    I responded to that with the fact that one has nukes and one doesn’t.

    You responded with something about giving out handjobs.

    I said that was dumb and dosent help further the discussion.

    To which you tried to play the dumb “if you disagree with me you must be a Putin lover/Russian troll/trump worshipper.

    I disproved that. And since that point several posts ago you have done nothing but full out deflection and derailment because you have no idea how to proceed with the conversation since you were betting all your chickens on me being someone who blindly follows trump. Thus you aren’t capable of having a reasonable discussion.

    Does that clear things up for you?

    What foreign power do you think is controlling Fox News? Britain? What foreign power do you think are controlling other media outlets?

    So you agree the Iran nuclear deal was a mistake?

    Disagreed, but I’m content to let others judge which of us is more intelligent, on topic and less biased.

    When has Iran attacked us?
    And no I should clarify, a deal to get Russia to stop their espionage would be appropriate

    Ummm, that’s not a foreign power; those are capitalists. Are you anti-capitalism?

    So a “citizen of the world” is not foreign to someone who identifies as an American?

    Oh for ****s sake ok. There’s just no talking to you. Everyone is fully aware that Russia is our enemy and attack us or try to meddle with our affairs but you are so blindly loyal and obedient to your messiah obama you can’t even bring yourself to admit Iran is the worlds biggest sponsor of terrorism, terrorism that has claimed thousands of US troops and citizens lives. Pure and utter hypocrisy.
