We went 8 years without fear mongering

Now, we are faced with an incompetent regime trying to make us afraid of the world. It took Bu$h almost a year before his minions started this shit.

trump only 100 days. He wants a war to divert the attention from his scandalous government.

Wife clothes shopping, picked up a top by ivanka trump.

As she is about to ask me what I thought, I noticed the designer tag.

Usually I tell her it looks good because she has great taste, but I said, you had better swallow hard before buying that piece of trash. She had not seen the tag and thought I hated it.

She quickly put it back and we left the store.

It was on the clearance rack.

Russians used Bernie Bros as unwitting agents in disinformation campaign: Senate Intel witness

At Thursday afternoon’s meeting of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Retired Gen. Keith Alexander — former director of the National Security Agency — said that Russian operatives targeted both liberal and conservative voters in its disinformation campaigns during the 2016 election.

Dr. Thomas Rid of Kings College London’s Department of War Studies explained that polarization makes societies vulnerable to manipulation by disinformation campaigns

Russia, Rid explained, according to CBS News, likes to use “unwitting agents” to carry out its work. WikiLeaks, Twitter and “overeager journalists” all contributed to Russia’s efforts to destabilize the U.S. by disrupting its 2016 election.

Democratic committee co-chair Sen. Mark Warner (VA) asked the panel if they had any doubt that Russia had attempted to interfere in some aspects of the 2016 election. Alexander said not only did he have no doubt, he could get very specific.

“Senator, I think what they were trying to do was drive a wedge within the Democratic Party between the Clinton group and the Sanders group,” said Alexander. “And then in our nation between Republicans and Democrats.”
