During the campaign information from the hacks was used time, and time to prove the HRC was somehow the devil incarnate, it's a bit rich to now turn around, and try to pretend they never happened.
There was rampant corruption on behalf of both party's Gough, as Stein's checks have proven....What there is zero evidence for, is Russian hacks.

This is nothing but a desperate propaganda move on behalf of the C.I.A....Bush senior is getting frantic.

How do you know that? Are you one of those people who uses a VPN and thinks they're a hacker? I'm speaking from experience here which we won't discuss further for um obvious reasons....
Provide us a full detailed report of the FBI & HS report you've attacked; say a 1,000 report from you with references to the sections in the FBI & HS report with your evidence to back up your claims so we can critique your claims.

Mate, check the article you linked, read the first sentence. You will find the link to this so called report providing "evidence" to support their claim that the "Russians did it". It's nothing more than an informational report of no more than 3 pages "showing how the hacking was done", followed by how to identify, mitigate and report it.

There is no conclusive proof of the "Russian link" other than subjective comments within the report and a list of supposedly the aliases that did the hacking. A 1000 word report from my part is over kill because there is no "evidence" to critic.

Rats. You assume that all the people who turned out to vote for the Donald all had the sane end goals.

Regardless of who he may be tapping now, he was stumping yes, a very right wing immigration policy, but at the same time protectionist policies.

You can't just lump all of those who voted for him into one basket.

Nor can you ignore the turnout, or more importantly the lack thereof. Less people voted for him than Romney, yes? His vote was similar to McCains. The last two elections prior turned out people voting for someone who was preaching universal healthcare. Trump was never promising to kill universal, he was promising to repeal and replace with 'something better'. A majority of people want Obamacare to remain.

Any suggestion that they have been moving further right in recent times is ludicrous.

Their parties sure have, and in an effective 2 party system, that doesn't leave people much option.

8 years of Clinton, 8 of Bush, which never should have happened had new law not been made to deny Gore, then 8 years of Obama (Who on the stump sits to the left of HRC).

We then get an election where essentially the left wing vote doesn't turn out across the rust belt, which decides the election.

But yes.... all evidence would suggest they are moving further and further to the right......

So nothing at all, just your opinion.

So no evidence to support your attacks on a report by the FBI & HS that Russian agencies attempted to rig the US election, just your opinion! o_O

I am now reminded why Trump campaigned to the lowest common denominators during the election.

Are you speaking of yourself? Have you even read the report? Would you consider the word "likely" as conclusive in an evidential report? Keep in mind that we are talking about actions that could lead to something more than just sanctions. The Report claims "The US government confirms...", yet there is no concrete evidence detailed in the report for this claim.

Instead of assuming this is my opinion why don't you go and read the report yourself. I'm not going to waste my time critiquing subjective claims.

And just in case you didn't catch it the first time and want to label me a "trump supporter" again, let me spell it out for you:

No I am not a Trump supporter, nor a Clinton, nor a US. They've done more than enough in my life time to ruin the world and I'm young.

But that's exactly what I am saying - what are the lessons? Senior Republicans came out in droves to say they wouldn't vote Trump, but Republican voters still voted for him. The idea that left-wing policies would've won it for the Democrats is flawed in the face of that. You may have gotten more of the Obama vote sticking with Democrats, but how many more traditional American political voters (i.e. more about 'freedom') would've voted for the Republicans? It's impossible to know, but recent political history has been very 'freedom' focussed, even if it came with several shovels off 'Patriot Act'. I would love to believe that Americans want to be more like Europe/Canada/Australia in terms of a social safety net. I just don't know if it's true. e.g. Saying that the people voting against Obamacare wanted 'something better' and that may have been more like universal healthcare... ?? That goes against everything that was said about Obamacare. The criticisms was it was socialist, putting government into your healthcare, etc.

But I am a bit confused by your angle when you start suggesting the Democrats haven't moved 'further right'. The Democrats are right-wing on a global standard. Clinton is more Hawkish than she was when being unsure about the best way to take on Saddam. She wasn't talking about Universal Healthcare. Obama was a step to the left, but he (like Bernie) was all about telling the people that they had to fight for left-wing policies because he couldn't get them through without political pressure. Therefore he remained fairly centre-right. Gay Marriage would probably be the only variation on that?
So nothing at all, just your opinion.

So no evidence to support your attacks on a report by the FBI & HS that Russian agencies attempted to rig the US election, just your opinion! o_O

The same tactics as when people like him/her were saying 'have you read WikiLeaks?' These propagandists are a joke. Did you catch him last page pretending he was a hacker??? :rolleyes:

This is the sort of guy who has the President Elect's ear.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/dec/29/carl-paladino-racist-obama-comments-will-not-resign
The Trump presidential campaign New York co-chair who made inflammatory and racist statements about Barack and Michelle Obama says he will not resign from the Buffalo school board, which on Thursday voted to remove him.

Millionaire developer Carl Paladino last week told a Buffalo alternative newspaper he wanted to see the president dead of mad cow disease and the first lady living with a gorilla in Zimbabwe.
These are the same people who tell us to stop playing identity politics. :rolleyes:

In case you haven't been following,your friend Elroo is trying to argue that an official US Gov document has "evidence" which proves Russian hacking. But please, label me with a particular group if it makes you feel better.

The only propagandists here are those who don't want to objectively look at the topic.

Also your first snipe at me didn't go unnoticed. If you want to give your opinion on what the US government report says then please be my guest.

I think you misread me mate.

I said 'their parties sure have' (moved further right).

I'm just not sure that means that the population as a whole have.

I certainly think the turnout, or lack thereof in the face of a Clinton vs Trump battle certainly gives rise to that. Remember, HRC did win the popular vote, it was the crumbling of the blue wall that got her. Would having had Sanders or preferably someone younger but signed off by Sanders on the ticket have changed that? Only a fraction of an increase in turnout in those states & Hillary shatters the glass ceiling.

When I say learn their lessons, I'm not necessarily saying move left, what I'm suggesting is Brexit, the Donald, to a lesser extent Hanson out here. The general message seems to be "You aren't listening to us". This is what I want to see change.

All the 'Trump voters are nazis & irredeemable' & reds under the bed shit they are going on about is completely ignoring the fact what the message seems to be. Hillary for example, has she actually taken any responsibility? Or continue to live in dream world of the Comely devil / Russian hacking bullshit, as opposed to "Well ok, we lost, let's get out there, talk to people and find out exactly why they didn't turnout"?

My read on Obama's latest moves in the U.N are this.

1. Attempt to align the Trump admin as Communist co-conspirators, sympathizers & therefore an enemy of the U.S.

2. By splitting off with Israel, they are forcing Trumps hand to re-establish it, thereby splitting the anti-Zionist feeling in the Republican popular movement.

These are classical C.I.A 'divide & conquer' tactics & maneuvers, that will be backed with a mountain of disseminating propaganda in the MSM press.

Lets hope the brains-trust in the Trump camp, understand this & see-through it's transparency.

Have I been living under a rock for too long on this? Have they come out with evidence or are we supposed to take the word of 2 known corrupt entities of the US intelligence community?

The reason I'm asking this is that the past year, by planned propaganda or some hidden agenda, the west in particular Obama and the US have been poking the bear. We have never been so close to WW3 before and these new sanctions are just tightening an already tightened vice on Russia.

Two Russian diplomats killed, 1 airliner downed, sanctions. Obama is really trying his best to screw this world in less than 3 months. I'm just waiting for a nuke to land in the US with Russia's first strike policy.
Dont let any potential facts get in the way of a political opportunity. Thats what wedging is.

FBI & CIA hate each other, but they hate Russia more. Its cultural. Theirz no doubt we are in a cyber war. T he US are taking an opportunity to announce that fact. & wedge Trump at the same time. Trump has never bothered with the t ruth. Why should anyone else.
Your move Donnie. ;)

Sounds like the Republicans have kicked the can to Trump on whether he'd reverse the sanctions or not, no doubt not wanting to bear the responsibility

Putin must be loving how much the US has got their panties in a bunch so easily

Like Pauline Hanson, Trump has long been demonising minority races for personal gain:

http://europe.newsweek.com/donald-trumps-business-failures-election-2016-486091?rm=eu

As Trump was denigrating Native Americans before Congress, other casino magnates were striking management agreements with them. Trump knew the business was there even when he was testifying; despite denying under oath that he had ever tried to arrange deals with Indian casinos, he had done just that a few months earlier, according to an affidavit from Richard Milanovich, the official from the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians who met with Trump, letters from the Trump Organization and phone records.

Lost contracts, bankruptcies, defaults, deceptions and indifference to investors—Trump’s business career is a long, long list of such troubles, according to regulatory, corporate and court records, as well as sworn testimony and government investigative reports. Call it the art of the bad deal, one created by the arrogance and recklessness of a businessman whose main talent is self-promotion.​


Yeah yeah... crooked Hillary.

So, Eichenwald's series of things Trump facts was dismissed by some people as not reliable.

The article expands on certain aspects, including all of the freebies he got from his family connections - far more than the "small loan of a million dollars" he claims was his only leg up in life:

http://europe.newsweek.com/donald-trumps-business-failures-election-2016-486091?rm=eu

Even with those advantages, a few of Trump’s initial deals for his father were busts, based on the profits. His first project was revitalizing the Swifton Village apartment complex in Cincinnati, which his father had purchased for $5.7 million in 1962. After Trump finished his work, they sold the complex for $6.75 million, which, while appearing to be a small return, was a loss; in constant dollars, the apartment buildings would have had to sell for $7.9 million to have earned an actual profit. Still, Trump happily boasted about his supposed success with Swifton Village and about his surging personal wealth.​
...
Soon Trump gained the public recognition he craved. Through a wholly owned corporation called Wembly Realty, Trump struck a partnership with a subsidiary of Hyatt Hotels. That partnership, Regency Lexington, purchased the struggling Commodore Hotel for redevelopment into the Grand Hyatt New York, a deal Trump crowed about when he announced he was running for president.

He failed to mention that this deal was once again largely attributable to Daddy, who co-guaranteed with Hyatt a construction loan for $70 million and arranged a credit line for his boy with Chase Manhattan Bank. The credit line was a favor to the Trump family, which had brought huge profits to the bank; according to regulatory records, the revolving loan was set up without even requiring a written agreement. Topping off the freebies and special deals that flowed Trump’s way, the city tossed in a 40-year tax abatement. Trump’s “success” with the Hyatt was simply the result of money from his dad, his dad’s bank, Hyatt and the taxpayers of New York City.​

It's clear to all that the Palestinians aren't in any place to take anything. So this claim by the right faction in Israel is BS. The Palestinians do not punch outside their weight... especially against Israel... they are roundly disliked, and apart from the odd RPG, are throwing sticks and stones.
This is a common misconception in the rush to put them onto an oppressed vs oppressed scenario to fit into a simplistic leftist view of the world, they seem helpless by the west. If they were so helpless they would do a deal but they have rarely negotiated and not really with any seriousness since clinton was around. They want everything more than what even most of the liberal moderate israeli is willing to conceed.

For the most part they are propped up by eu money. There existance in aparthied is a rallying point for most arabs and they are winning the propoganda war. As Kerry said, quite unusually for a politician locked to election cycles Israel is on borrowed time as a democracy the palestinians are out breeding them inside israel and palestine.

This has developed past a cyber war. Let's just hope Putin's patience doesn't wear out anytime soon because some senators are still calling for more sanctions. Soon there will be nothing left to sanction but actual conflict. Also I heard Germany is already taking precautions (by fining Facebook for fake news) for their election to avoid "Russian influence".

The C.I.A & NATO won't be happy until they've silenced every dissenting voice....This is what totalitarianism looks like.

It took Russia to expose the U.S government, as nothing but a bunch of hypocritical murderers, hiding behind their 'double-speak' propaganda....That's just how low the U.S has sunk into tyranny & destroyed it's own democracy.

They've managed to make the Russians look humane, stable & civilized by comparison....And now Obama is lashing out in the U.N & on MSM, exposing the petulant psychopath & C.I.A, mass-murdering scum-bag that he is.
