    What would you want him to say. Whom would you like him to blame? Let it go. You won the election. You are just making things worse.

    How many sources would you like?

    It isn’t as if the story isn’t true, or the hack hasn’t happened.

    Nor is it as if Trump did not kiss Vladimir Putin’s backside from the day he rode the esculator to this very day.

    Nor is it as if Trump and McConnell didn’t submarine any effort by Congress to stiffen penalities for this type of crime, or provide extra resources to insure it did not happen.

    Indeed, Trump cut the budget.

    And, as he has said many times, he sees nothing wrong with Russian meddling.

    I suppose you have a point.

    Trump has nothing to say about the suffering and mismanagement in the worst pandemic in living history.

    He has nothing to say about the massive hack the went on under his nose, done by the country he has bent over backwards to appease.

    No, the man all the dwindling Trumpsters tell me is the instrument of God and the Consitituion, does not give a crap.

    He sits in his White House bunker, watching cable news and reading right wing trash blogs, and trying to get someone to pay attention to his delusion that he won and election that is over.

    So, based on prior experience, you’re right. There really is no reason for anyone to expect this pathetic loser to behave like a leader, much less like a responsible adult.

    Trump needs to respond and tell the enemy who is doing this that we are not going to tolerate this kind of stuff.
    He needs to say that our country , which is the United States of America in case Trump has forgotten , will not tolerate such an act of cyber warfare.

    In case you have forgotten we in the United States of America swear allegence to our country not to a king or dictator or a TV barker or con man. There were at least two times that I swore allegence to my country the United States and both times it saw allegence to the country and the Constitution it was never to a president who was LBJ.

    How would we fail to tolerate it? The only thing we can do is retaliate and one assumes we will do that. I recommend you save your criticism of Trump for what he says rather than what he doesn't say.

    Go back and view and listen to Trumps words in the last 4 years when he trashed our ainlrll agencies on the world stage as he crawled like a worm in front of Putin and agreed with Putin that Russian did not even try to interfere in the 2016 elections. You do not need to take my words of great wisdom just go and watch the video and listen to the audio of the Helsinki "news" conference. Go and watch/ listen to the Trump rallies and assorted Donnie responses to questions where Donnie expressed praise for Russia with "Russia if you are listenin.....". Listen to every time Trump was asked about Putin when he spoke highly of the Putin Turd.

    Trump attempted to weaken the sanctions tags instead Russia that Obama and Congress championed.

    Trump failed to protect our country as act of "treason" or if we give him the benefit of the doubt due to dereliction of duty. Those of us who served our country in the military ( which Trump never did) would be court marshaled for dereliction of duty.

    I was being facetious. Though, that it might seem to someone that I was seriously saying, as a Republican Trump supporter, that being a Republican meant agreeing with Trump, is a real dramatization of my point.

    But, if my 1st reply, to your OP, wasn't enough of a clue-in that I'm not a Trump fan, my mention in this post, of changing the elephant symbol to a sheep, really should have been.

    Finally, thank you, very much, for your service to our country.

    Give up what standing up for our country? Stand up to and calling out those who behave like Traitors orvare traitors to our country. Givke up our demands that our elected officials do the jobs that they we entrusted them with?

    All of this happened while trump was in charge. After he gutted parts of the gov't.
    All except the riots, those didn't happen until near June.

    So riots were not a concern when trump was ignoring the virus and russians were spying on his gov't.

    The US Space Force which I strongly support the Trump for creating transferred 135 Cyber officers into this new branch of the service. I know that their mission is not the same as the cyber defense that our Intel agencies are supposed to be performing but I would think that Cyber Warfare would be a large and important mission of the the US Space Force. So it seems logical that the US Space Force would and should be working closely with ourvintel agencies in what I expect will be a retaliation strike against our cyber enemies.

    May the Space Force be with you!

    Why? Would you acknowledge him, applaud him, or make fun of him still?

    Be honest now! :couple_inlove:

    I've acknowledged the good things he's done. Sheesh. Partisans don't understand how people can see the good and bad in both teams. It's easy, though, just judge the situation on merits, instead of by a letter next to a name.

    Outrage? You'd have a huge thrill running up your collective Democratic leg and praise sleepy Joe for his vision and leadership!

    Admit it! :applause:

    I predict the Biden administration will be boring. Boring is what we need. I'm hoping for a George HW Bush style presidency. Good caretaker president. Low drama. That's what we need.

    When I criticize Biden for boneheaded moves, you won't acknowledge it.

    Exactly I said right away that I absolutely agree that creating of the US Space Force was a very good thing.

    His cutting corners for the vaccine implementation is good also.

    There are so few good things that he did. That is sad.

    I know. The party of trump thinks the virus will magically disappear, so then they believe russia will disappear also.
    As trump says, No, I take no responsibility.

    There's really nothing to argue. He states things so eloquently.

    You probably don't want a response from Trump because I expect it would be one of force if we definitively know the origin of the attack.

    And sleepy Joe saying his administration will make Cyber Security a priority means nothing. The government has made Cyber Security a priority for decades now. There will be attacks. What each administration has to do is figure out how far they will go to protect and defend the nation when these attacks happen.

    And here we go again; Trump! yada, yada, yada.

    And yes, a few days after Trump has lost election, the virus has magically been beaten and the vaccine was developed and is available - thank you, President-elect Biden. Since sleepy Joe was elected we now have what? 72 vaccines? Holy mackerel sleepy Joe! :applause:

    And Russia too will magically disappear soon (if) the Senate turns Democratic.
