There is no way they will give a shit until it costs them votes. If we are allowed to have free and open elections. Voter suppression hasn't even begun yet.

This is definitely the dumbest thing I ever heard. How can anyone be okay with this?

Trump: "Putin, did you try to interfere in our elections?"
Putin: "Nyet. Would you like us to help you hack-proof your voting system?"
Trump: "That would be great! So much winning! ...Elections that is!"

Boyle nailed it. In a sane Congress, his legislation would pass unanimously.

They want the Ruskies to continuing stealing elections for them, just like drumpf. They all personally benefited from the collusion and that's all this trio cares about. None of them give a damn about this country, it's working people or even our constitution.

stops sugar-coating it, we won't see the Repukes do a thing to stop him giving our country away to the Ruskies. They have benefited from this unholy alliance too much. The REAL news must connect these dots for the people who only partially pay attention to politics. Americans need bold, capital letters & things repeated ad nauseam b4 they "get it". That's how faux noise has brainwashed so many.
Time to fight the monster.
