    No, Russia is not our enemy. Only liberals are trying to sell that story. Russia seeks to advance Russia, that's what countries do. They are not openly hostile, or even anywhere near the old Cold War hostile. Clearly you don't understand what an enemy is. Why would Russia let terrorists cross into Syria when Russia had troops fighting in Syria? Even Obama isn't that stupid, and Putin is a lot smarter than Obama ever was. I'd like a link on that. Perhaps Russia would allow them into Afghanistan, and that's a totally different story. Russia has had Assad's back from the start, and all of the opposition to Assad were terrorists, not seeing the problem there.

    Russia isn't our enemy, it isn't our friend, it is just another country pursuing its interests, which is totally natural, we do it. I understand what Russia is far better than you, and enemy isn't it. Were you alive in the Cold War? That was what its like to have enemies, this is nothing like that...

    Russia is a belligerent adversary with an ongoing campaign of political warfare that the GOP is ignoring because it serves their interest of turning the US into an oligarchy.

    It gets tiring "proving" that water is wet, doesn't it.

    Did you know that YOU are actually responsible for being an informed voter? Nobody else. If you got swindled by liberals blaming Russia for their inability to get elected, you have only yourself to blame. Attempting to spread that ignorance to everyone else isn't going to work...

    Sort of like when Obama was hacking Merkel's emails? That sort of ongoing campaign of political warfare? Odd how you folks move the goal posts whenever it suits your needs. Russia is no more an enemy to us than we were to Germany in the Obama era. Funny how those Eurotrash morons seem to hate Trump more than Obama, and Obama was actively 'hostile' towards them, using your standards...

    Wow, is this thread dumb! Yahoos complaining about an American citizen donating to elections, which he still would be able to do, regardless of Citizen's United and someone else claiming Facebook ads won the election for Trump.

    You guys are getting dumber by the day. Admittedly, it's entertaining, but come on!

    Hillary made her own news. Where were you? "What difference could it possibly make?"

    You can't face that George Soros is a major contributor to "Citizens United" and it is a "resistance movement" for losers!

    Being reduced to name calling is a true sign that your debate skill are at the sandbox level. Corruption is a cancer, the GOP congress is corrupt with a corrupt leader now. You know the ramifications unless you serve a different master. Taking RUssian money as they interfered in the 2016 election is a step to treason.

    Disgusting! The GOP is officially a crime syndicate and its been coming down the pike for quite some time. Why else would they allow a dirt bag such as Trump anywhere near The White House? They are all traitors.

    You need to rush your evidence to the FBI instead of blathering.

    You touched on a hot button of mine. I absolutely do not believe in dual. "citizenship" no exceptions period. A person must only have one and only one country to hold allegence to. Soros is foreign born naturalized American citizen therefore he had to renounce his former country of citizenship when he accepted US citizenship just as I did. So if he accepts dual citizenship now he needs to reject it. I would like to see a hard core law that strips people who accept dual citizenship.

    NO, they can explain it, they cannot fully measure its impact.

    Just like lies told in the course of a standard campaign, they know they happen, they know they have an impact, yet they cannot fully measure their impact on the decision making process of the person casting the vote.

    When anyone mentions Trump/Russia the right says “nothing to see here....”

    When anyone mentions Hillary/Russia, “this must be INVESTIGATED....”

    The corrupt GOP congress has been bought by the ruble and you seem to be still hearing the Clinton dog whistle while Putin's puppet & principle investment, tRUmp, is making RUssia great again. tRUmp is owned.

    So you've no intention of acknowledging that the democrats benefited more from the SCOTUS "citizens united" decision than the GOP? Clinton super PACs taking in 3 times as much in "donations" as pro-tRUmp PACs ... Natalia Veselnitskya says Clinton accepted Russian campaign donations. After learning about the Facebook propaganda that some allege influenced the election, I'd expect that you'd be not as quick to be duped ... again. Apparently not!
