Two weeks before his inauguration, Donald J. Trump was shown highly classified intelligence indicating that President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia had personally ordered complex cyberattacks to sway the 2016 American election

"OuR dEmOcRaCy Is At RiSk!"

We literally accused people for "interfering and rigging our election" because they made Facebook accounts that said "Vote for Trump!" Or organized rallies. Something that any American could easily do that wouldn't have much of an effect on the election.

They claim cyberattacks, but they list neither WHY or in what fashion these attacks occur, or whether there is definitive proof that a foreign government conducted these, only that they originate from Russia. What's next, American "Anonymous" members are proof of a US Government threat to China?

Even if they "actually" rigged our election (which they didn't, or that's what they'd be saying), it comes as no surprise to me that Putin wouldn't have wanted the woman talking about bombing Russians in office. Do you know what that starts? World war 3.

It's baffling how eager people are to mentally regress to the cold war as if we have any reason not to be working to better international relations. The time for proxy wars is over, that includes us not jumping at every chance we get to strangle Russia.
