more bullshit from a failed administration and a failed campaign with egg all over its face AND LOTS of wasted donor money.

Not to mention Clapper, who perjured himself live on CSpan.

Podesta's emails are now "Critical National Infrastructure".

Thew question should be which country has not hacked us under OBama's leadership.

Tim Aurora says

It is foreign influenced. So if next time Chinese hack and Democrats win, you will be OK. Thanks for letting me know that.

Actually, the Chinese did do a big hack against us. More than one - the Dept of Energy, the FDIC, etc. - key information and critical US infrastructure, some of it nuclear related.

Most recently, China hacked the Office of Personnel Management and got information on just about every Federal Employee.
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2017/01/03/abcs_jon_karl_grills_josh_earnest_why_was_there_no_public_response_when_china_hacked_opm.html

Strangely, there were no sanctions - it was if it never happened.

Why didn't Obama take strong action?

JON KARL, ABC: So when the Chinese hacked OPM in 2015, 21+ million current and former government employees and contractors had their personal data stolen by the Chinese. Why did the White House do nothing publicly in reaction to that hack? Which in some ways, was even more widespread than what we saw here from the Russians?

JOSH EARNEST: These are two cyber incidents that are malicious in nature but materially different.

KARL: 20 million people had their personal data taken... fingerprints, social security numbers, background checks. This was a far-reaching act--

EARNEST: I'm not downplaying the significance of it, I'm just saying that it is different than seeking to interfere int he conduct of a U.S. national election. I can't speak to the steps that have been taken by the United States in response to that Chinese malicious cyber activity--

KARL: But nothing was announced. There was not a single step announced by the White House. '

EARNEST: It is true that there was no public announcement about our response, but I can't speak to what response may have been initiated in private.

KARL: But no diplomats expelled, no compounds shut down, no sanctions imposed, correct?

Earnest is saying that revealing that the DNC rigged the Primaries and Caucuses for one candidate against the other is interfering with an election, but actually doing the intefering is not a thing.

Tim Aurora says

what they considered to be conclusive evidence

Expose the evidence. LIARS!

IRAQ! has WEAPONS! of MASS DESTRUCTION!

I have come to the conclusion that Republicans are STUPID.
Republicans,Trump voters & right wing trolls here just run their mouths
& have not read & do not have access to any security documents.

Your IGNORANT,DELUSIONAL,PROPAGANDIZED brain is showing.

Iron man, you know politicians are lying whenever their lips move. That's a given.
The question is, is it right for everyday joe to expect somebody else to make the change for the everyday joe?

I think in the end, Joe will get what he deserves, NOT what he wants.

If joe thinks through the situation and make good efforts to change things for himself, he will see
changes.

If joe give power to somebody else so that somebody else can make change for him, he will find not only the change he wants did not come, but also he is getting new problems because the one he give power is beginning to work against him.

There are only two ways to make people do what you want. Pointing a gun at his head or reward him with money, which is claims on food, shelter and services. The illusion of getting somebody to work for Joe through election process is just NOT how competing human work.

It is up to the administration in charge to protect people from so called "hacking", so I guess they failed to do what they were supposed to do. They should be blaming themselves and not the Russians!

But they don't have enough monnnnneeeeeyyyyy. Give them more money. That's what this hearing is about

Here's another thing they dodge: Snowden wasn't a Federal Employee. He worked for a Contractor. So, should we keep outsourcing Intel stuff?
(Oh no, how would intel officials double dip when they retire?!)

By the way - exercise in cognitive dissonance:

"Nothing in the Wikileaks we didn't already know"

YET

"Undermines the Election, Puts people at risk, Hurts National Security."

Well if the first part is true, how can the second part be true?

Tim,

Did Donna Brazile interfere with our democracy?

Not true! And racist!

Obama is a Russian agent!

Tim Aurora says

Use a seperate theread for these strawman opinions. Stick to the topic

hahaha-I answer you and you say it is a strawman opinion-hahahahaha!!!
Tim Aurora says

That was the question.If a foreign power interferes with our democracy, you are OK with that ? Good to know that Trumpites will stoop down to do whatever it takes to get their candidate elected. Fair enough.

Perhaps you should stop posting strawman opinions. How cute.

Democrats,Progressives,Independents on patnet,
BOYCOTT!
Stupid Rightwing,Republicans,trump voters that are on patnet.
DON'T view their threads or comment on their comments.
You know who's the Trash.

The Poor Republican failures deserve what they get.

Tim Aurora says

Actually the whole democratic party is united against Trump ( and it includes some Republicans too) .

Yes more Unite for division, that worked wonderfully the last 8 years.

I don't think ya'll understand. Old Liberals are not appealing to anyone.
They are the Creepiest sons of bitches on the planet. Good luck winning elections with the Marxist Geriatric Unigender smeared makeup Brigade.

How many Republicans can't pay their medical bills without some form of help/ SOCIALIZED COST insurance?
Great american ENTREPRENEURIAL FAILURES
Trolling with the TRUTH!

Ironman, stooping to the level of calling Obama the N word is undermining your credibility - even with many of those who may agree with you on some or a lot of issues, and makes you appear desperate and as feeble-minded as your political adversaries who stoop to such brainless, ad hominem attacks based on color, religion, ethnicity, etc.

You're doing yourself no favors and appear to be #triggered.

Based on current dems, I think Trump will win again and repubs are going to be ahead for a while. Whent he dems come to their senses, it would be a good-as we need dems two or more good party.

who will be blamed after Obama has left office? C'mon - get on the stick! We need a new scapegoat.

He is mulatto but what significance does this have whether you like, dislike or are indifferent to him?

0.5% fine - slap me wrist, eh?

Ironman says

84. Islam is the religion of peace.

85. Christians need to get off their high horse.

86. This was not a terrorist attack, It was workplace violence.

87. Before we jump to conclusions, we must complete a full investigation and gather the facts after an Islamic terrorist attack.

Moron.

Obama's butt hurt because his entire list of accomplishments will be repealed, replaced, or redone within a week of Trump taking office. And the butt hurt will only grow as the country grows and prospers under responsible and knowledgeable leadership, in direct contrast to our eight years of struggle to get by while Obama talks up job growth in the part time and barista sectors and dreams up new taxes and guilt to lay on the productive citizens.
Fuck that guy!
I hope it burns his ass how much better Trump is at his (former) job and how easily he wins a reelection.

Nobody gives a shit about this terd in a suit enough to even be outraged over this let alone Trolled.
Obama Fails again while Failing! Trump Winning!

Arrogant narcissistic Buffoon.

Do you guys keep a finger on the pulse of the Republican Voter Base attitudes right now?

Ryan is blasted daily on Breitbart, Twitter, etc.

The only place Ryan isn't dragged over the coals is like NRO and by guys like George Will.

It ain't 1995 no more.

Well no offense but Paul Ryan doesn't have sense God gave Owl dicks.

How's that whole Transparency President thing working for you?

Hard to fathom Ironman's stupidity. Not to mention the rest of you gullible dimbulbs.

Well, we know for a fact Clinton's attitude on Banks from all her speeches and her previous career. And her top donors throughout her career.

As for Exxon, she spent much of her SOS term pushing Fracking.

So the only realistic alternative was worse.

If only the Democrats knew about their leaders rigging the primaries and nominated a winner like Bernie or Webb.

How about a Citigroup Chief of Staff and a Citigroup Treasury Secretary and a Whiteshoe Revolving Door Wall Street Lawyer at the SEC? We just had all that.

Did you see a lot of Financial Reform?

When in your mystical FDR figure coming? Has he been elected to the Senate yet?

WTF!
This medal will look good next to The Nobel Prize for WARMONGERING.

FUCK DEMOCRATIC VOTERS!

ZOMG! Are people trolling and shitposting on Twitter!!!

Dear Me No!!!

Those that may have missed it.

FUCK DEMOCRATIC VOTERS!

It would be funny if Trump voters weren't so stupid. SAD!

We get it, Russians don't like fracking because it has fucking killed their oil profits (tee-hee!), but why Hillary is different from Tillerson in this regard? They are both pretty fond of it. Exxon bought XTO Energy for their fracking expertise.

How many countries did Obama drone where we had no business?
How many innocents have been killed by this warmonger?
How many Republicans did not attempt to stop your PEACE President.

Fuck all you Democratic & Republican voters.
For those hard of hearing,
FUCK ALL YOU DEMOCRATIC & REPUBLICAN VOTERS!

DOH! What happened to the america you used to know.
You did ASSHOLE!

How many of those people participating in the poll are their actual constituents?

The Hill.com noted that Blackburn's cause probably wasn't helped by the fact that White House Deputy Press Secretary Eric Schultz retweeted the poll Tuesday to his more than 23,000 Twitter followers.

Nothing says scientific than a Twitter poll.

Repeal & don't replace.
Let the loved ones of Republicans suffer long painful deaths
because they are FINANCIAL FAILURES.
NO CASH,DIE.
