    I guess the spinner landed on Russia again, seeing that Hillary is back in the news.

  2. I think it's becoming pretty obvious what we are seeing is the first counter-attack of the neo-cons against Trump. Look who's out front, Johnny McCain and his stunt double, Lindsey Graham. Both have seemingly made it their life's work to start WW III. So the coalition of neo-cons and republicans owned by the defense industry, ie pretty much all of them, don't like the idea of Trump changing foreign policy to one that actually benefits the US.

    Typical of their cowardice, they didn't have the stones to take on Trump directly. they laid back and waited until the democrats/major media started this russian hackers bogus scandal. Then they hopped in. they saw it as no lose. They figured they could always use the whole thing as leverage with Trump and trade it for something they cared about.

    Mr. Trump don't play that game. He took dead aim at Boeing and fired, direct hit. He was afraid he still didn't have their attention. so he fired off a volley at Lockheed Martin. Ouch, that left a frickin' mark. Message: don't fuck with me. Capiche?

    Yeah, you got to ask yourself why so many on both sides of the aisle are so eager thrown down with Putin.

  4. If foreign hacking is what it takes to expose the corruption then that's what it takes. Our own "journalists" have abandon any pretense of investigative reporting, so we cannot and should not trust them until they EARN back that trust. The people at FOX and the others are no worse than MSNBC, CNN and a long list of other left leaning outlets. Truly, it is a sad state of affairs when we must rely on foreign entities to expose the truth, but that's what happens when the American media climbs in bed with the very people they're suppose to be holding accountable.

  5. To paraphrase VDate, why should we get in a war to preserve Crimea's borders when our elites have no interest in defending our own borders?

  6. That's the world we find ourselves in. We know we can't trust the media. They have been lying about Trump for a year. Suddenly they are going to become trustworthy?

    We know we can't trust the congressional republicans. In some ways they are even more despicable than the media. At least the media are open with their hostility. The republicans pretend to be our allies but sell us out at the first opportunity.

    Now it appears that the CIA has become so politicized that we can't trust it either. It is brazenly trying to undermine a new president by leaking unsubstantiated conclusions.

    Frankly, I don't really care who leaked the wikileaks stuff. The media and the left have been playing gotcha games with our side for so long, it's about time someone turned the tables on them. It's not our fault they opened themselves up to this embarrassment by their own unethical conduct.

    When I bitch at the media, I am really bitching at myself. What I'm really mad at is I once trusted her (the media.) Believed everything hook, line and sinker. If I saw it on tv that verified it. Yes, they all lied to me. Screw me once and I like it. Screw everybody all the time shame on you. And I'll never fall for the media or anything like it ever again.

    I hope at least a few here realize how comedic this article is. The author committed the identical crime that he/she criticizes.
