Still focused on Trump vs Clinton, are we?

(Forget trying to get some of these poster to see the real issue, NS.

It's a waste of time, energy, and good sense.

They're in a deep smug sleep - which is exactly the comfort zone Putin wants them in. They have zero desire or smarts to appreciate what every US security agency, and both political parties in the Senate and House now know.)

Hell, even Rolling Stone thinks something stinks to high heaven...

This dramatic story puts the news media in a jackpot. Absent independent verification, reporters will have to rely upon the secret assessments of intelligence agencies to cover the story at all.
Many reporters I know are quietly freaking out about having to go through that again. We all remember the WMD fiasco.
"It's déjà vu all over again" is how one friend put it.
You can see awkwardness reflected in the headlines that flew around the Internet Thursday. Some news agencies seemed split on whether to unequivocally declare that Russian hacking took place, or whether to hedge bets and put it all on the government to make that declaration, using "Obama says" formulations.


New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

I just love it when liberals will NEVER admit responsibility for any screw up or miscalculated decision their arrogant leadership has ever made. They just turn it around and say ... "well what about when Republicans did this?"

Here's an idea: look in the damn mirror.

Fools.

Thank you Bryce for the link to the Rolling Stone article. This is exactly the point I'm trying to make in another thread. Of course, your linked article makes the point much more eloquently than I can.
