More Than Obvious That GOP Plans To Use Russians To Hack 2018.

[TheMastersNemesis]

All stops are out with the GOP. Voter suppression, election fraud, intimidation, dark money, voter registration tampering, rigged machines, cross check, disinformation, Russian collusion/hacking, obstruction of justice, character assassination of foes domination of the media, etc etc. They are desperate to reach impenetrable political supremacy. Aggressive phony prosecution of protesters i.e. Inauguration day arrests & feeling prosecution of protesters who "were just in the area". They are determined to establish GOP dictatorship that cannot be stopped or questioned.

The long game of all this obstruction is to make us a Russian satellite for all practical purposes. They do not care about the country. And we will look more like the Russian oligarchy in the end if we do not stop them.

2. Did not the Russians

disappear several of their Hackers just recently?

4. I Am Sure They Did Because They Did Not Want Evidence Around. But ----

That does not mean they will give up and that they cannot get a new batch of hackers in. Plus their actions just about guarantee that the new crew will stay silent. They may have sensed that these "detainees" or "disappeared" were showing some signs of disloyalty. And they may have been an expendable part of the apparatus that could be replaced.

Besides the Russian connection worked out for them and the GOP very well. And you can bet McConnell and probably Ryan were involved in some way now well covered.

GOP has everything to gain by stalling or stopping the investigations. Collusion is most likely still going on in some way.

5. Maddow had a piece about

a couple of FSB Boys who gave the US info on their Hacking. If they were US assets,and Trump gave them up,TREASON.

6. I Believe One Of His Tweets Did Give Them Up In Some Way.

7. They wouldn't stand a chance of winning a general election, or a majority in the House or Senate if

they didn't use any dirty tactics. Their platform is far too outdated. Many of the Republican elected officials are racist-misogynistic-bigoted-xenophobes that are crooked, amoral, and have no problem stealing from the middle-class and poor to give to the already wealthy.

Of course they will resort to any means possible to try to steal elections. Gerrymandering, voter suppression, voting machines that can be compromised, etc. You name it and they'll be trying it. It's what they've been doing and it's worked well for them. They're not randomly just going to stop for the heck of it.

The best way we can fight back is by getting as many Democrats elected as we can, in as many positions as possible. Everything from school boards and upward. In many places Republicans literally go unchallenged in local races. We have to do better than that.

8. pretty much. nt

9. I have been saying the same since before Trump took office

The Republicans have no incentive to act against him because he is pushing their agenda, and because they have no reason to fear electoral consequences. They have already stolen 2018 and probably 2020, so why on Earth would they care what kind of incompetent asshole they install as the figurehead?

10. Agree that the battle for power will be fierce and ruthless.

The subversive plots by wannabe kleptocrats to bring America to this point are over 40 years old and have arrived, of course, at a critical point. They will do everything they can to hold onto power.
