DO you think that the Russians were NOT a threat at all in 2012 but became a YYYUGE threat in 2016?
There are a FUCKTON of differences in the two situations and circumstances.

Isn't it obvious that as others have said Trump doesn't even collude/coordinate with members of his own team and family? He sure as hell isn't colluding with the Russians.

Speaking of Clinton, I thought it was interesting (and smart) Mitt reached out her and other former SOS's and asked their opinions regarding whether or not he should Trump in that capacity, and Killery encouraged him to serve.

Trump hurt himself with the Russia collusion issue by his reaction to the news of Russia meddling. He should have simply said this is a serious issue and we need to have it investigated. But his gossamer-thin skin and sensitivity over his popular vote loss made him unwilling to acknowledge the closeness of the election or that the Russians may have played a role. He won; he should have been acting more presidential and not like a kid trying to defend something that really needed no defense. But his behavior only aroused suspicions that more was afoot than there probably was.

The Trump lovers aren't totally nuts with their suspicion of the lamestream media. Like every other whack job movement there is a kernel of truth (I'm thinking chiropractic and essential oils people are right that what they do is better than becoming addicted to narcotics and having unnecessary surgery).

The US is hacking foreign governments all the time and doing a lot more than the Russians did during the 2016 election. Clinton and the DNC were really stupid and yes Russia meddled in the election but the left and the media are grasping at anything to smear on Trump and try to invalidate the election. For example all contact between the Trump transition team and Russians after the election is not necessarily sinister. It's more bumbling and bad optics than anything.

I said it earlier, this fear mongering fomented by Dems is a real hindrance to actually solving problems that put US interests at risk... such as trying to diplomatically resolve the Syrian situation or coordinating with Russia to fight ISIS.
Going to be a tough few years for these "woke" Dems unless they can get their shit together:
I just finished up a part-time job working with a group of post-college people, almost exclusively white, from middle- and upper-class backgrounds. The job itself wasn’t important, but what I learned is that 2018, never mind 2020, is going to be a rough year for Democrats. They are embracing a faux diversity that excludes more than it includes, and the election results will likely look like 2016’s all over again.
[...]
My former colleagues have been led to believe this, having majored in things like social work, anthropology, and for more than a few, gender studies; they’re all wrapped in a comfortable blanket of self-importance and decades of being told to follow their dreams. There are givens in their world: pronouns are sexist, whites are racist, men are misogynist. They believe mostly old people voted for Trump—the slang term used around my the office for people over 45 was “red hats,” as in those Make America Great Again ball caps.
The code inside all this is exclusionary. It is okay to exclude men, old people, straight people, entire regions outside the right and left coasts, until most everyone is deplorable. That word, which Clinton claimed was a slip-up when she said it during the campaign, was actually the foundation of her whole strategy of appealing directly and overwhelmingly to people like those I recently worked with. The flipside of “It’s Her Turn” was an actual Clinton slogan, “I’m With Her,” a simple proclamation of the implicit sense of entitlement for candidate and supporter.You're actually pretty funny when you aren't being a complete a-hole....so basically like 5% of the time. --Art Vandelay
