really? they the ones trying to open the borders for all the illegals to vote because they know without all the illegal votes, they don't stand a snow balls chance in hell?
the posts above are prime examples of what I am talking about. these three have been conned by the American oligarchs.
"phony front groups; a Web of Deceit conceived and bankrolled by the Koch brothers and other self-interested billionaires to advocate for very selfish and unpatriotic policies."
There are plenty of billionaires these days, and a bunch of them do pretty good stuff, but there’s an extremist subset trying to quietly remake America to their ideology, and they are behind this Web of Deceit. When an issue affects some hyper-wealthy special interest group, this web activates. In the halls of Congress, on cable news, in opinion pages, on social media—the front groups will be everywhere, with fake news, bogus studies and phony science.
This is a well-studied political phenomenon. Two speeches ago, I had a stack of books about it here on the desk, including excellent academic research by Robert Brulle and Riley Dunlap, Nancy MacLean, and David Rosner and Gerald Markowitz. Michael Mann deserves credit, too, for shining light into these front groups.
To the uninitiated, it might appear that these are all actual, different groups; and that they might represent thousands, even millions, of real people across America. That’s the scheme. These front groups are designed to provide a simulacrum, a manufactured artificial appearance, of public support for policies and ideologies that actually benefit just the richest of rich, or the pollutingest of the polluters.

You're so wrapped up in your anti-Trumpism you can't even think objectively. It's the dems conning dem voters, there's your oligarchs. You guys didn't give a single fvck about Russia, and you wouldn't now, if HC had won.
The Obama administration didn’t respond more forcefully to Russian hacking before the presidential election because they didn’t want to appear to be interfering in the election and they thought that Hillary Clinton was going to win and a potential cyber war with Russia wasn’t worth it, multiple high-level government officials told NBC News.
"They thought she was going to win, so they were willing to kick the can down the road," said one U.S official familiar with the level of Russian hacking.

I remember dems laughing at Romney about his Russia comment. I remember dems laughing at Trump when he said the election was rigged, signs everywhere saying "It's not rigged, you're just losing." I remember Obama saying there's "no serious person out there who would suggest somehow that you could even rig America's elections." You dumb fvcks laughed it all off until you lost and only then it was an issue. Or better yet, an excuse. You're the one being conned, you're just to blind to see it. Probably due to the wool over your eyes.
If the cons had signed off on the Obama administration's willingness to report about it before the election, it could have been reported without looking like Obama was interfering. Idiot.
So the Obama admin didn't respond, on purpose, because they thought HC would win, but it was the con's fault? Cool dude.
No, idiot. They didn't respond because the cons wouldn't agree to it. If Obama responds to it without that agreement, it would be seen by morons like you as attempting to sway the.election and that would give Russia precisely what they wanted.
No. They "kicked the can down the road" on purpose. That's coming from Obama's admin, an internal decision. You can't have it both ways. The only thing dems cared about was a win and they were obviously willing to suppress Russian involvement as long as that goal was met. The quote speaks for itself, as does Obama's. If HC won do you really think Russian hacking would even be a story? It's not a story, it's an excuse.
How is it wrong? That's the admitted strategy going into the 2016 election. The onus is on you to prove me wrong. Do it. Substantiate it.
No, moron, it's not on me. You made the statement that the problem was "kicked down the road." Prove it.
That's agreed upon by the U S security organizations.
Had obama interfered and HC had won, then the likes of you blame obama for it, and we still end up with a tainted election.
^^^fake news^^^ because cheetos said putin told him he didn't interfere. You believe cheetos and putin.
so he did nothing but said hey vlad cut it out. Basically just kicking the can down the road
