The Russians are nothing but bit players in the long term arena of trying to break America, and destroying confidence in the US election process. The Democratic Party and their allies in the mainstream news media are the ones who rule the roost on all of that.

Since the election Democrats, Liberals and the media were trying to delegitimize the results of the election and now they want to do away with the EC.

Yep, Russia's goal is to destroy the confidence of the U.S. election process. And nothing would make Putin happier than a civil war to weaken the U.S.

No Russians. Not one shred of proof. And all the proof the MSM hawked for two years turned out to be fake.



I'll ask the question again. Why do you believe NBC on anything these days? They are trying to create yet another Meme that they can play to the easily influenced because to them, no matter what they say, it's believed without thought or question


See the fake Trump tweet brought to you by an editor of Time magazine. It speaks for itself.

And the cranks at NBC News are right there with them. Let's remember they paid $50 million to someone who told repeat lies, was exposed about it, and remains on the payroll only demoted down to MSNBC.

For starters, the Mueller report dedicates quite a bit of time to Russia's activities and goals with respect to dividing Americans. There are also several inter-agency reports discussing it. What additional "proof" are you looking for?

His goal was to incite the right and de-legitimize her administration. When she lost, it was icing on the cake.

Just out of curiosity, you like to call out the left for hating on Trump and his supporters, yet it is precisely the Trump supporters who start 75% of the threads here on CD using derogatory names for the left (as Trump does himself). How do you reconcile that?

Yea, I'll say some Americans are gullible. Remember this?

"You were asked what is the biggest geopolitical group facing America, you said Russia, not al-Qaida," Obama said. "You said Russia. And the 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back. Because the Cold War has been over for 20 years."
-- Obama

And Dems, Liberals, Progressives, Hollywood and the media laughed their asses off. Yes, they actually believed a Henchman of the KGB went to sleep.

If you make this about electing Trump, you missed the point. Because if Clinton was elected, they would stoke rhetoric on the right and cause discord in that way.

Whether you like it or not, Trump is the president. Why not just work to make the country better, and other Americans better? Tune out the hate and discord. Focus on what is true and good.

No it doesn't. Muellers Report said there was no Trump collusion with the Russians. The rest was a bad attempt at a fake witch hunt, which BTW NBC reported pretty much as fact until it wasn't.


So one more time.


Why do you still believe NBC without thought or question when they have been 100% wrong on this for years and they now provide absolutely no proof of what they say now?
