The ODNI devoted seven pages to RT and its influence on the election “by serving as a platform for Kremlin messaging to Russian and international audiences.” The report claimed “Russian media made increasingly favorable comments about President-elect Trump as the 2016 US general and primary election campaigns progressed while consistently offering negative coverage of Secretary Clinton.”

Shits all fucked up and shit and I’m getting weary of it. What will happen after Jan 20th? Will this nonsense stop?
So, giving “favorable” (whatever that is) coverage to one candidate over another is now a “hack?”
These intel agencies need to be defunded and closed.
I’ve asked before, how many trillions have we spent over the last 16 years on ‘terr’ism?’ Yet, if I take their word for it we are hopelessly vulnerable (not that I believe it). I’m supposed to just keep paying 48% of my income for more of this? A guy walks into an airport, supposedly one of their focus locations, and shoots people. What a crock.
I’m way past done.
I think Mrs. Clinton did a bang up job all on her own of giving herself negative coverage.
Iraq had WMD’s and Hillary was innocent of private e-mail server abuse.
If the Government said it, you can believe it.
And I love you, the check is in the mail and I promise I won’t cum in your mouth. That is what I am hearing from .gov right now.
And if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor.
“Russian media made increasingly favorable comments about President-elect Trump as the 2016 US general and primary election campaigns progressed while consistently offering negative coverage of Secretary Clinton.”
Contrast this comment with the coverage that the US National media gave Clinton versus that of Trump.
Now which media do you suspect had a greater influence on American voters, the Russian media or the American media? So our own media tried to influence us and had less of an impact than the Russian media did. And yet not a word about what that says about the candidates.
So the message is clear- trying to persuade voters is always wrong unless it’s the American media doing it. It is far better to have a poor candidate with shady dealings as the President than a better candidate who isn’t approved by the US media.
Message received.
And, of course, Obama’s direct and overt taxpayer financed attempt to influence the elections in Israel is just OK.
As well as Mexico’s attempt to interfere and influence our Presidential election in favor of Hillary, and on and on and on.
Time to tell the leftists to STFU, and with emphasis while we are doing it.
The Canadian media was incredibly pro-Clinton and anti-Trump. Oddly, no mention of us crazy Canucks hacking and influencing the election on behalf of the Clinton campaign. Go figure.
Hey, FM …. did any Canucks threaten to leave Canada if Trump was elected?
And if so, where would they go?
To answer your first question – no, not that I am aware of but in keeping with our cultural norms it would have been polite if they had at least offered. What can I say, things are going for shit here too.
To answer your second question I’m not sure. Normally when times are cold and dark we flee to Mexico, Maui or Arizona. But with a Trump presidency, the last two are off the table for liberals and with the wall going up getting in and out of Mexico is problematic. At this stage, that means their options are few and far between. I’d suggest they pack their bags and head to Sweden. It’s cold but the politics will be more to their liking. I hear the Somalian welcome wagon in Stockholm is first class….
This video is pretty funny.
Big head Ed Schultz, once a big time msnbc progressive host, left wing, republican hating, Putin hating, all things conservative hating kind of guy, now works at RT and is defending Trump.
What’s next? Cats sleeping with dogs?
Just goes to show you, these talking heads will go anywhere and say anything for the right amount of $$.
If anybody would know, McAfee would know.
But from what he explained, almost everyone with even an amateur level knowledge knows it too.
Which makes one wonder about the state of our intelligence agencies under Obama, or what they think about the IQ of the American public.
“They Lost So Big” – Trump Blasts “Embarrassed Democrats” For Russian Hacking Report
by Tyler Durden
Jan 7, 2017 8:56 AM
The back and forth between Donald Trump on one hand, and the Democrats and US intelligence services, on the other continued on Saturday morning.
One day after Trump issued an official response to the US intelligence community’s report in which it concluded that Putin personally manipulated millions of Americans into voting for Trump instead of Hillary by watching RT YouTube clips, and he stated that while he has “tremendous respect for the work and service done by the men and women of this community” he added “there was absolutely no effect on the outcome of the election including the fact that there was no tampering whatsoever with voting machines”, he has resumed his vendetta with both the Democrats and the US intelligence agencies on a less formal – and his preferred by far – setting, Twitter.
In a couple of tweets early Saturday morning, Trump once again downplayed the Russian influence, stating that there was no evidence the hacking affected election results, and repeated the punchline from his official response, saying ” there was absolutely no evidence that hacking affected the election results. Voting machines not touched!”
In a follow up tweet moments later, Trump stated that Democrats were continuing to make a fuss about the “hacking of the poorly defended DNC” is because they ‘lost so big” they are “totally embarrassed” by the election results.
Prior to the Saturday morning mini tweetstorm, on Friday evening Trump tweeted that “gross negligence by the Democratic National Committee had allowed the hacking by Russia.”
The reason behind Trump’s ongoing war with the intelligence agencies and the DNC is clear: with the report, and the ongoing media narrative, US intelligence services continue to delegitimize Trump’s victory, by asserting that he was the favored candidate of Russia, and that Moscow ran a sophisticated operation to try to influence the election, taking away from Trump’s victory.
And while the report did not conclude that the Russian interference tipped the scales to Trump, who defeated Hillary Clinton in the electoral college with surprise wins in the states of Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, the constant tit-for-tat with Russia makes Trump’s win, at least in his eyes, seem less important.
Trump and his team have sought to prevent any talk of Russia’s interference in the election from undermining his victory in the election or tarnishing his presidency. He has talked about the need to move beyond the issue of Russian hacking, but has also at times offered comments on Twitter that have irritated members of the intelligence community by casting doubts on their conclusions.
Case in point, on Friday night Trump’s adviser Kellyanne Conway told CNN she rejected the intelligence community’s assessment that Russia meddled in the 2016 election, saying “conclusive evidence” has not yet been provided to the President-elect.
“Remember, the moment you mention Russian hacking and the election, the same sentence, you know what the impression is for a lot of the viewers,” she told CNN’s Chris Cuomo in a contentious interview on CNN’s “New Day.”
Trump’s former campaign adviser also said Hillary Clinton’s team continues to suggest that Russia wanted Trump to beat the Democratic presidential nominee.
“I really believe that there are those out there who are trying to delegitimize his presidency, review the election results, and you know it,” she said.
US intelligence agencies have consistently said they have evidence showing the Russian government attempted to influence the 2016 president election through cyberhacking, even if they have yet to demonstrate any of it, which is why Conway continues to denies the suggestion that Russia wanted Trump to win.
“The Russians didn’t want him elected, because he has said very clearly during the campaign and now as President-elect that he is going to modernize our nuclear capability, he’s going to call for an increase in defense budget, he’s going to have oil and gas exploration — all which goes against Russia’s economic and military interests,” she said.
“Donald Trump got elected in part because people want a tougher leader in the White House, a tougher Commander-in-Chief,” Conway added.
It is likely that for the next two weeks, as long as Obama remains in charge, this topic will continue to propagate across the media, and Trump will continue to inundate Twitter with his continued opposition to any suggestion that he is merely a puppet of Russia.
Who gives a shit? If it helped to keep the clinton crime family out of our WH, I’m all for it.
Old Bullshit and the Deamon Crats are people to be feared. The free shit party with its Black Lives Matter minions can still cause a lot of hell. I will not feel better until Jan 21, and the kick in the ass out the door of the worthless black turd we have had for the last 8 years.
The hypocrisy of the Obama administration knows no bounds, especially when it comes to interference in other countries’ elections. The piece of Mudshark fecal matter, Obama, felt that it was perfectly acceptable for him to foment discord and violence and even quote the Qur’an at the Al-Azhar University in Egypt in 2009 to help institute the Muslim Brotherhood controlled government of Mohamed Morsi. The Muslim Brotherhood has been labeled a terrorist organization in Egypt and fortunately, the Egyptian Army overthrew the terrorist-backed government of Morsi. Even after Obama’s defeat in Egypt he would go on to issue a warning to the new Egyptian Army-run government claiming that he would cut off foreign aid to them until they would reconcile with the Muslim Brotherhood and be more “inclusive” in their government. Like they have a reason to listen to the Muslim Brotherhood operative from the White House.
And now Obama has his panties in a wad over an alleged Russian “hack”, or Russian interference, in the selection of our government? Trump’s presidency is legitimate, Mr. Obama. It’s the legitimacy of your presidency that is in question, and has been for many, many reasons, and hypocrisy is just one of them.
This is the Deep State manipulating ignorant Democrats (are there any other kind?) to keep them fighting. You can almost hear it: “Hillary was torched by the Russians, she didn’t lose for her own faults! We have to keep obstructing Trump so that we can come back in 2020 and teach those lying Repubs a lesson! World peace and the survival of civilization are more important than rebuilding anything in America! Hurry up and start agitating, the future is in the balance and we have to save it!”
When the Fed pulls the plug on the economy, Trump will be blamed by the MSM. But will anyone be listening?
