Feb. 13 (UPI) -- U.S. intelligence leaders warned a Senate committee Tuesday that Russia will continue to try to influence elections in the United States this year. Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats, CIA Director Mike Pompeo, FBI Director Christopher Wray and National Security Agency Director Adm. Mike Rogers testified before the Senate intelligence committee Tuesday to address potential national security threats. Coats said the Kremlin might attempt to influence the midterm elections this fall in the same way it did the 2016 presidential vote. "There should be no doubt that Russia perceived its past efforts as successful and views the 2018 midterm elections as a potential target for Russian influence operations," Coats said. "Frankly, the United States is under attack." https://www.upi.com/Top-intelligence-chief-US-elections-under-attack-from-Russia/4801518536578/ All of the people saying this are republicans appointed by Trump. So quit trying to laugh it off, use emoticons and divert. When will Trump start defending the country??? Justafan, OILERMAN, and reo 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then that assumes we have a rational electorate. The fact that people weren’t afraid of Trump becoming president is the saddest part of the election. People don’t care about qualified candidates. It’s nothing more than a large scale popularity based high school election. I just figured that there weren’t so many stupid people in America who could let Trump win. Obviously I overestimated you guys. I liked this part. This part can't be stated enough. I get that people hated Hillary but Trump winning really made me lose faith in the intelligence of my fellow Americans. I had no idea so many otherwise practical people could behave so irrationally.

LongTimeFan Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 28 pages of each side calling each other idiots. And we wonder why the country is divided. No ideas to fix the problems. No starting middle ground. Just extremes on both sides. Sad TitanDuckFan, and Justafan 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctm Posted February 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 Congressional sanctions on Russia were passed with an overwhelming vote by congress last year with an Oct. 1, 2017 deadline for implementation.

Can't the GOP side have the reciprocal argument? Does that help getting positive solutions started by automatically calling your counterpart irrational or stupid?

It's the most effective way of influencing these oligarchs. They don't care if you impose sanctions on Russia but when that same sanction starts affecting their personal money, it gets their attention real quick. Just look at how hard they've tried to overturn the Magnitsky stuff if you need an example of how effective they think it is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
