Trump: I'm 'concerned' Russia may interfere in midterms to help Democrats
Source: The Hill
President Trump on Tuesday said he is "very concerned" that Russia will attempt to interfere in this year's midterm elections, claiming Moscow "will be pushing very hard" to support Democrats.
The tweet is the latest in a week's worth of mixed messages Trump has sent on Russia since he met with Russian President Vladimir Putin last Monday.

(12,188 posts)BTW: Trump, if you're concerned about Russian interference in our elections, why the fuck don't you do something about it? Paper ballots would be a great start.
Of course you won't. Because you're spinning and lying again.

(6,965 posts)Or nullify the results if Dems indeed take back the House and nearly come close to taking back the Senate. I've been thinking to myself okay, how would putin try to fuck us up over here and keep his rigged-in fat puppet in the White House? How could he (putin) create more chaos? Fatso could say that putin was interfering into our elections to the point that helped Dems win Congress, so the only remedy is nullification of the mid-term results. thuglicans will go along with him, they're treasonous and complicit as well and also have Kompramat on them as well.
I notice that some folks here are laughing at him, but this is serious. Whose going to stop him if he really goes through with nullifying the results of the mid-terms if Dems take the Congress? Sure, people will take to the streets, but then what? This fat fucker and his "ruskie complicits" in CON-gress aren't going down without a fight.
Mitch and thuglicans STOLE a Supreme Court seat. They know how to cheat, lie, steal etc.
Again, who'd stop him if he nullified the results of the 2018 mid-terms if Dems take the House back?

(16,034 posts)Surely then ALL voters have a vested interest in paper ballots, hand-counted in public. Starting before the fall midterms.

Paper ballots counted by humans in public. No electronic screens. No tabulators.

(70,288 posts)Russian President Vladimir Putin said Monday he wanted President Donald Trump to win the 2
016 election because he believed Trump's policies would be more friendly to the Kremlin.
"Yes, I did. Yes, I did. Because he talked about bringing the U.S.-Russia relationship back to
normal, Putin said, standing alongside Trump at a joint news conference.
Putin was asked whether he directed any of his officials to help Trumps presidential campaign,
but Putin appeared to sidestep that part of the question.

(18,571 posts)He will scream the election was hacked and the Democratic representatives are illegitimate.
Of course the impeachment proceedings may drown out his screeching.
(He ALWAYS accuses others of his own sins and crimes. It's automatic with him. When you hear him accusing anyone of anything you know they are not guilty but he is. )

(20,996 posts)...the plan was to build the new tRump* communications empire on the rubble of the 2016 election and make Hillary Clinton the full-time resident villain.
Kablooie
(18,571 posts)This could be better for the country than having Hillary win because the country might be cleansed of the virulent right.
I hope.
If Hillary had won nothing would change.

Which is how they can also conveniently forget that Putin said on international television just last week that he wanted Trump to win.

And who thinks Muslims and MS-13 are actively plotting to kill them every day.
And in that group you've got those people who will believe EVERYTHING Trump says.

(5,914 posts)I've no doubt he's right about this.
They'll just leave enough "crumbs" so that the whole election can be tossed out when the Blue Wave happens.
Chemisse
(30,793 posts)Including paper ballots, and put Trump in the position of defending the status quo.
Javaman
(62,439 posts)then he can blame russia for "winning" it for the Dems.
then there will be calls for an "investigation" into why the Dems won stating russian interference.
this will be the right wing meme from then on until forever.

(2,767 posts)go about securing our systems. It's win-win for us. On one hand it builds up pressure to actually move on securing our election systems. On the other hand trump and the gop does nothing we can tether that chicken to the republicans necks until the end of time.
