Are you stupid enough to believe that American voters elected Trump president because Vladimir Putin influenced them to vote for Russia’s candidate? The US Senate Intelligence (sic) Committee is that stupid. This collection of nitwits actually produced a report that a few ads allegedly placed online on Putin’s instructions, ads that did not cost one-hundredth of one percent of the huge sum spent by the candidates themselves, both national committees and everyone else, were decisive in influencing voters who never saw the ads in the first place or read or responded to tweets.
That a Senate Committee would expect anyone to believe such a far-fetched story shows that the Senate Intelligence (sic) Committee has no respect whatsoever for the people who elected President Trump, or, for that matter, for anyone else at home or abroad.
This Senate report is the most incredible bullshit I have every encountered in my life. There is no evidence whatsoever in the report. Only assertions. And most of these are based on “open-source” internet postings by trolls and bots financed by the military/security complex and Democratic Party.
What the report actually tells us is that no member of the Senate Intelligence Committee has enough intelligence or integrity to serve in the US Senate. It is the Senate Intelligence Committee that is a disgrace to America and to the entire human race.
RT has great fun with the collection of nitwits that comprise the Senate Intelligence Committee: https://www.rt.com/usa/431661-senate-intelligence-assessment-russia/
On this Fourth of July, how can anyone be a Proud American?
Why is no one asking about or giving the realistic number of voters, along with their votes, that are claimed to have resulted from this Russian interference?
Millions?
Thousands?
Dozens?
one or two?
Any inquiring mind should want to know.
I like Putin a lot. I like him better than any living US politician. I think most of the time he speaks bluntly and honestly, but he did not tell me whom to vote for because I don’t vote. Perhaps he is more effective on others.
What is the point anyway? All nations will interfere with other nations elections. They are restrained only if it is not possible or not in their interests. There is no such thing as a moral or ethical restraint on such activities. If it was in the Russian’s interest, they tried to interfere. I have no idea how successful their activities were. If they beat Hillary,I’m glad.
The committee chair, the pitiful loser and incompetent Richard Burr, is obviously the butt boy of Senator Warner, the ranking minority member, who literally reeks of evil intent.
The dynamics of this committee are a demonstration of how the Senate works. Never Trumper RINO squishes led by the nose by Democrats with evil intent. If Burr was a good boy he may have gotten invited to a “cool” cookout hosted by the “cool” Democrats Wednesday. There might have been “cool” reporters there too.
Burr should make Schlicter’s list of the “Right 100.”
