And I hope they're able to do it to the RNC. The information was incredibly valuable to the american people, I thought.It seems as though we might be looking at a string of unfortunate political opinions, rather than a one off blonde moment.
It's never good when a foreign country actively and intentionally ratfucks an election. The us has a long history here and no one should know that better than us. Think of all the little shitholes we did that to. How's it going for them, today?
Quote:Really, it was no different than someone secretly taping Romney's 47% speech in terms of effect. People shouldn't be secretly taping other folks, but having that information out there is more important than their privacy when it comes to campaigns, I think.Meh, it was just confirmation of what everything about Romney already made clear. Had he never said it, let alone never been taped syaing it, he was already the kind of dirtball who would say it. Case in point..no one was surprised that he said it. That wasn't "the problem". The problem was getting caught being super-duper dumb. Everyone knows you don't say shit like that - and you don't have to, because you can just blow the dog whistle and every mutt in the kennel will hear it all the same.
Quote:Ideally, we'd get some transparency from someone in America, but you take what you can get.Agreed, but you didn't get transparency. You got espionage and subversive foreign propaganda, so what's the relevance?
You are expressing gratitude, up above, for an act of espionage with no intent other than to erode our very system of government. So, I have to ask. If it turned out that trump was a literal manchurian candidate..would you thank putin for gifting him to you as well? Are you one of those trumpsters that cast your vote to see the country burn..because I thought you told us that you were some kind of nationalist? Maybe you meant that what the US needed was some russian nationalism, and I misunderstood.
I have serious reservations about the future of a country in which the #alternative patriots putting america first are willing to go 8 for 10 on the hitler scale -and- thank the fucking russians for handing them a common grifter as POTUS.

OFC they can be, as demonstrated by the fact that people are managing to accurately represent each others positions, in thread. You're just not one of those people.
