I have a request. Can we please stop referring to "Russian meddling".

[Stonepounder]

Def: meddle (vb) - interfere in or busy oneself unduly with something that is not one's concern.

This was NOT meddling. This was an ATTACK, an act of war by a enemy attempting to destroy our Democracy, destroy our place in the world, destroy our economy, and install a puppet government.

So let's stop talking about meddling, let's call what it is, a Soviet Attack on our Sovereignty!!

And for the President to ignore his KNOWLEDGE about this attack and try and cover it up is giving 'aid and comfort to an enemy who has attacked us'.

1. The Russians committed acts of war by attacking out democratic process and buying the presidency.

2. ABSOFuckingLUTELY!

3. This was installing a Russian agent as President of the United States.

His election was illegal.
If Russians had not been involved Trump wouldn't have had a chance.
It was all the Hillary misinformation disseminated by Russia that turned the election.

4. YEP. It was an attack.

And I have removed the word meddling from my vocabulary as it relates to Russia.

We all should, because words matter and our messaging is important.

5. Like bin Ladin "meddled" with the World Trade Center

or the Japanese "meddled" at Pearl Harbor.

6. And media interviewees stop saying, "I wouldn't go as far as calling it treason"

That ship has sailed.

7. Yes!

I also hate names like Pootie Poot and anything else that makes him sound like a cute and cuddly pet. He's a murderous dictator.
