The idiotic Republicans can run around foaming at the mouth all day every day about Hillary and her emails.
But.
And this is an important but.
The Russians/Wikileaks have FUCK. ALL.
If they had ANYTHING they'd have used it during the election.
They threw Podesta's emails up as chum for the (again, idiotic) Republicans
because they're SO PATHETICALLY EASY to distract and keep dumb.
They never gave shit from Hillary BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING TO GIVE.
Now they're going after the Uranium One thing. I can't stop laughing.
Grasping at straws much?
By the time Trump and his cronies are finished the Republican party will be 100% toast- and it'll be the Fox News watchers who did it to themselves. I kinda love it. They're fools who think GOTCHA emails exist, that Trump is whistle clean (all EVIDENCE to the contrary) and that he can "fix" the economy (Obama already had that shit under control) "fix" healthcare (that, he's in the process of breaking). Oh. And best of all they think he's going to lower their taxes (In fairness, this one he IS doing... if they're millionaires/billionaires)
They aren't even smart enough to do some actual research and figure out that Uranium One is a complete joke of smoke and mirrors. If they knew facts (and clearly none of them do) they'd feel stupid. But they're not self-aware enough to know it, so... I guess it is what it is with them Their party is destroyed by Russia which is exactly what Putin wanted.
It's crazy just how dumb those people are. They'll fight tooth and nail over statues and how "cool" Trumps tweets are- all while not realizing they're going to lose everything.

(2,367 posts)thing was anything (it isnt) and they had thousands of emails that said that Hillary collected money for her foundation by selling kids to perverts from a pizza parlor (they dont because they have all her emails and would have released them during the campaign as you said), how in ANY way does this change Trumps Russia problem? Hillary is a private citizen! They are SO desperate.

(9,426 posts)with Putin about uranium, wouldn't he have rigged the election to get HER into the WH? IF she was so cooperative to him, why would he shove tRump into office? Has anyone asked them this question? Why tRump and not the very cooperative Hillary? Smoke and mirrors, all of this uranium farce. The gop will form a few more committees to investigate this. Just like Benghazi, a waste of time and taxpayer money.

(14,492 posts)I've imagined for years that somewhere in the bowels of Heritage Foundation's building and other right-wing think tanks, there are rooms where some very demented individuals dream up these conspiracy theories to feed into the machine daily.
They throw this shit out every day to Faux News, Limbaugh and social media, sort of like putting a piece of steak in a blender. They don't care about the viability of what they send, it's just floats around in their bubble and keeps the R-wing base in fear and turmoil.
For me, one of the most infuriating aspect of tRump's campaign was his inciting the crowds to chant "lock her up", with no charges or convictions whatsoever against Secretary Clinton.
Sort of goes against our Constitution and system of justice, eh?

(118 posts)Hillary would be stupid enough to text/emqil anything illegal? Im not stupid enough to do that, and im not the focus of possibly hundreds of hackers trying to get into my phone, or computer.

(45,452 posts)Republican voters don't care about the truth. They were told to hate Hillary and lock her up and they agree, they just don't know for what crime yet.
I hate to rain on this parade, but the GOP has been proven to be corrupt crooks and liars many times over the years and they still win elections.
