So it appears that trump world people are thanking Russia for interfering in our election. I guess

that means when say China does the same thing, say in favor of a Democratic presidential candidate, they willl be ok with that too?

Russia’s clumsy efforts at attacking our elections would be almost laughable if not for the seriousness of the action. To be clear dumbasses got caught. A whole bunch of them have been indicted and one of them is now in jail. Russian hacking is so amateurish that they left tracks all over the place.

I suspect China might be better at it. They have a better motive also, their economy is taking a big hit in this stupid trade war. If they can help rid America of trump and his senatorial and congressional acolytes the trade war would be over instantly.

So maybe Nancy Pelosi should tell China to go ahead and hack our election system in favor of democratic candidates. Maybe China can sniff out that pee tape or something.

What’s good for the goose is good for the gander ya know. So China, save yer selves and us. I’m just kidding of course, I would never want China to select our president, just as I don’t want Russia doing so. Karmas a harsh wind, careful what ya wish for.

I've seen this talking point so often… it's always "Brutkastenlüge" and "Irakkrieg" when German Putin trolls talk about the USA and how it's great that Russia wants to establish a New World Order to bring down the west.

.... are absolutely fine with a foreign adversary of the United States hacking into our election process, as long as that hacking is in favor of the traitors. They are no longer the GOP, they are now the TOP. ( traitorous oligarchy-loving party)

The Republicans have Fox News and the NRA on their side. Putin's troll army knew exactly who to target and where it would do the most damage. There's nothing on our side where they could pull that kind of shit. And if they could, we'll be ready for them next time.
