(51,590 posts)This goes from the local dog catcher up to the fake prez. People voted down ballot and that's one reason we got us this current Congress.
Obama can sit in until a re-election. He had a 68% approval rating (I think) when he left office.
I may be hallucinating but I seem to recall Ruth Ginsburg and Maxine Waters saying the same thing months ago.

This is Hugh. Hugh supports Trump. Hugh is a moran.

(9,985 posts)As long as Trump fiddles while the GOP burns down health care, women's rights, LGTB rights, voting rights, the environment, education, national parks, living wages, etc., etc., etc.... they don't give a shit.

TheDebbieDee
(11,119 posts)But instead of screaming bloody murder as it was happening, they kept quiet and watched the Russians allow their "Bernie got shafted by the DNC!" meme to wear down the Democratic party.
That's also why they knew they/McConnell could depend on Trump winning the Presidential Election and choosing a conservatard Gorsuch for Supreme Court over Garland!
Flat out - the republicans are the REAL traitors to us and our government. They've done more damage to this country and its institutions than Al-Queda on 9/11!

(2,034 posts)Where are McCain, Graham and all the other wannabe patriots when the Manchurian candidate says he wants to put the Russians in charge of US election hacking? Maybe some of them will find their spines if it is shown that their own primaries were also corrupted...

If anyone will be PO'd if this is true, it will probably be Jeb!
And his daddy used to run the CIA. There are probably some trees he could shake to get to the bottom of this.

(101,311 posts)2nd gives me a 'page unavailable' message from Newsweek. Is there anything new in the tweet? (I can't find anything in Google News, as opposed to the March stories in the general Google results)
irisblue
(32,971 posts)Newsweek.com article is dated 3/30/17.
The LA Times has an article dated 7/2/17, underthat term, however I did not read that article.
I do recall hearing about the widespread hacking this spring & summer, but I have not followed up on the gop problems( f them).
I am the DUer who is responsible for the cited references.
muriel_volestrangler
(101,311 posts)The LA Times pages sometimes have second (or more) stories on the same page. This one has a story about an ultra-conservative wanting to primary Heller in Nevada for not being pure enough - "Steelmon, who would like to see the incumbent taken out in a GOP primary" .. (page is http://www.latimes.com/politics/washington/la-na-essential-washington-updates-russians-targeted-election-systems-in-1498059012-htmlstory.html , and the first story is indeed about Russian interference, but in the general election).

Honeycombe8
(37,648 posts)If this turn out to be a credible story, I'm guessing Republicans are going to start taking note and regarding Russian interference as a wee bit more important.
