Post by UpstateSCHokie »

But but but... We were told that Trumps rhetoric was responsible for this!

I always assumed the demonstrations were spontaneous. Maybe the result of a video.

The Russians must really want Trump to be president.

Donald Trump is a stupid man's idea of a smart man, a poor man's idea of a rich man, and a weak man's idea of a strong man.

Thanks for the latest DNC/Sally Kohn talking point. I've seen the lefties pushing this TP on a lot of other sites in the comments section. It doesn't make the content of the emails any less true.

You're right, but I don't see any denial of how they were acquired. The Russians hacked and leaked the DNC emails right before their convention in order to embarrass them and cast a positive light on their preferred candidate (hint, not Sanders).

Russia is serious about fighting Islamic terror and needs a willing ally, not another dope carelessly toppling governments only to cut out before establishing a stable replacement.

But I'm also amused that you're such a DNC stooge as to just divert over the issue. Just another data point of party meaning the most to you.

That's a conversation we can have when there's some evidence supporting it. I don't think you want to go there, though - because if we assume the Russians are the source of wikileaks DNC emails, we also have to assume they're the source of wikileaks' Hillary server emails. That means Hillary is responsible for the identities of covert agents being obtained by the Russians.

As for the motives of Assange - he doesn't have nice things to say about Trump and states the emails show he was specifically targeted by Clinton. We can take that with a grain of salt for now as I don't think he's a trustworthy person, though I'll point out Democrats never questioned his motives when he was releasing Iraq/A-stan war intelligence.

Your implied motives of the Russians (if they are the source) are conjecture until evidence points otherwise as well. They could just as well prefer a Sanders President over all others (that would make some sense). Personally - if we learn they are the source - I think their motives are more to destabilize politics in the west above all else (thus allowing them to run rough-shod over the ME while we clean up the mess at home). The way we prevent that is by not ignoring the rule of law in our country. We do that by letting our court system work the same way for people like Clinton as it does for the little guys.

Can we infer that you are disavowing any vast right wing conspiracy involvement in this, or are you still clinging to that one as well?

Yes, the Russians are to blame for the DNC being crooked and corrupt.

Shameful to try and deflect attention away from the vile tactics. It's not like people haven't been pointing out what a vile snake DWS is for years. Now we know that she was there to help Hillary win. The right thing to do would be for Dems to condemn DWS and all the people involved.

I've got a good friend who is a very long time Democrat. How long :?: When we were at Varina HS he was the Chapter President of the Young Democrats.

I was talking to his wife a bit ago and she said she between the Wiki-Leaks stuff and DW-S being thrown out on her keister she hasn't seen him this upset since Coors stop making Zima :!: :shock: :mrgreen:
