(194 posts)find a way to polish every turd of Trump's b.s, blunders, brags, insults, exaggerations, absurdities etc. Just like the pathetic Stockholm Syndromers that they are, most of the MSM will keep begging for more abuse to be heaped upon them by Trump while collecting their princely salaries. Only a few MSNBC commentators in the evening slots are speaking truth to the power. However, Chuck Todd and his ilk need to grow a spine.

(3,490 posts)Thats why. Security of the country and even treason doesnt matter, they feel they cannot go against him right now because their own jobs would be forfeit. Some of them are definitely in on the Russian thing but for most its simply about job security.

(15,241 posts)But, of course as most others will say, "interference" is normal statecraft - even among allies.
The actions that were taken were meant to be destructive. Maybe not as bad as the destruction of Iranian centrifuges by SCUDA (US/Israeli?). Maybe not as bad as us disrupting telecommunication systems for as long as they existed. Maybe not as bad as every country feeding false information into another (and even to their own populations) to influence opinions.
Still the cunning and breadth of this attack is revealing. With the ability of machine-learning and rapid simulation of scenarios I can see how a smart adversary could "game" the system pretty easily.
