    So Russian agents were in a position to alter vote tallies in 50 states, but did not?

    Sounds legit.

    Sure, just probing, looking for vulnerabilities.

    Repugs denying, blocking, not funding any and all efforts to harden voting systems is their invitation to Pootin to rape America, if Trash is losing a close race. Pootin certainly knows which are the key EC states.

    ‘Putin’s other puppet’: Internet blows up #MoscowMitch McConnell after he blocks bills securing election




    Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell blocked two bills aimed at helping to secure America’s election process from Russian interference infuriated Twitter commenters with his action — or inaction —

    coming right after ex-special counsel Robert Mueller testified that the Kremlin will seek to interfere just as they did in 2016.

    The Senate majority leader blocked two election security bills twice this week and

    commenters were quick to note that

    the Republican leader also prevented the Obama administration from warning Americans about Russian meddling in 2016.

    The oligarchy's Repugs are scorched-earth working to make USA a one-party fascist state, and working with Pootin to git 'er done.

    Authoritarian All Politics, All The Time, excludes good-faith, democracy, and all the other bull myths in America's fantasy world.

    The GOP just made a really huge mistake: David Cay Johnston

    a huge mistake during the Mueller hearings Wednesday.

    they created the opportunity for Speaker Nancy Pelosi to overcome the only reason to avoid impeaching Trump – the certainty that Mitch McConnell would never allow the Senate to convict.

    The GOP mistake?

    Not raising one word of concern about Russian interference in the 2016 election.

    Not a word about the fact that the Kremlin wanted Trump to win, set out to make that happen.

    Not one word about the fact that Trump and his team eagerly embraced their help.

    Not one word asking about the sensitive campaign strategy materials that Trump’s campaign chairman, now a convicted felon, shared with a Russian oligarch.

    Not one question designed to pursue all the lying, denying and hiding the facts of Russian interference in our democracy.

    The Repugs also did not address anything in the Mueller report

    With the Repugs corrupted by the oligarchy beyond redemption, and the Dem establishment being strongly anti-progressive, neo-liberal, corporatist ...

    America is ed and un able.

    Go ahead and vote, but voting is a ing bull charade.

    The parties have and always do whatever BigDonor wants, and Repug BigDonors are, as is Capitalism, 100% anti-democratic.

    MSNBC’s Morning Joe buries ‘Moscow Mitch’ McConnell for selling out American democracy to Russia

    Scarborough went on an extended rant against “Moscow Mitch” McConnell for repeatedly blocking measures that would protect American democracy from Russian attacks.

    all of his intelligence community and Kirstjen Nielsen, when she was at Homeland Security, said Russia undermined American democracy in 2016,” Scarborough said.

    McConnell agrees with President Donald Trump that Russian election interference is just a “hoax.”

    “You have military intel people, the military intel community, knowing because they were fighting the Russians in 2015-2016 and are still fighting them every day to stop them from continuing to infiltrate American democracy,” Scarborough said.

    ‘Moscow Mitch’ says it’s a hoax.”

    Mueller made one thing clear: Republicans are a national security threat

    The integrity of American elections was compromised long before Donald Trump’s shocking victory in 2016,

    but former special counsel Robert Mueller’s testimony before Congress on Wednesday

    made clear that one political party is actively subverting attempts to protect our democracy.

    the Republican-controlled Senate moved to block four separate bills to defend the U.S. democratic process.

    “Over the course of my career, I’ve seen a number of challenges to our democracy,” Mueller said in his opening remarks.

    “The Russian government’s effort to interfere in our election is among the most serious.

    As I said on May 29, this deserves the attention of every American.”

    the Russian effort “wasn’t a single attempt.

    They’re doing it as we sit here, and

    they expect to do it during the next campaign.”

    You think there's a situation where Republicans would vote to convict him in the Senate, Darrin?

    Explain.

    Mitch McConnell is right. Secure, open elections would elect more Democrats.

    “They’re doing it as we sit here,”
    replied Robert S. Mueller III

    “And they expect to do it during the next campaign.”

    McConnell objected, saying Schumer was trying to pass “partisan legislation.”

    “Clearly this request is not a serious effort to make a law.

    Clearly something so partisan that it only received one single solitary Republican vote in the House

    is not going to travel through the Senate by unanimous consent,” McConnell said.

    Guess what: McConnell is right!

    Legislation to secure our elections is partisan. And the fact that it’s partisan shows just

    how pathological the Republican Party has become in its determination to hold on to power.

    some things that, in our system today, are “partisan” in the sense that if we were to do them they would advantage the Democratic Party over the Republican Party:


    • Securing our voting systems from foreign hacking
    • Allowing every American to vote
    • Making it as easy as possible for Americans to vote
    • Ensuring that all votes count equally


    so much of what plagues our election system works to the advantage of Republicans,

    in part because their voters tend to be older and wealthier, and

    in part because of all the effort Republicans have put into erecting obstacles in the path of Democratic-leaning cons uencies attempting to vote,

    not to mention the gerrymandering that makes Republican votes worth more and the electoral college that does the same.

    the leader of the Republican Party
    said publicly that if a foreign power offered him help in his reelection bid, he’d accept it.

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/07/25/mitch-mcconnell-is-right-secure-open-elections-would-elect-more-democrats/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.3131609dda1b&wpisrc=nl_mo st&wpmm=1


    And guess what?

    The American oligarchy fully supports the Repugs' authoritarian, secret, no-accountability, compromised, corrupt govt

    because it means the Repug s will continue to enable/enrich/protect the oligarchy as it amasses more Capital and power.

    Through Slime Willy Barr, the oligarchy has obtained control of the American judicial system.

    And guess what?

    There's no way to stop them, no way to reverse the damage.

    it's GAMEOVER

    Amplifying, lame, nakedly partisan pseudologic and load-bearing Republican myths is the DarrinS SOP.

    A very thoroughly indoctrinated poster.

    Theoretically anything.

    Is there anything for which Senate Republicans would vote to convict Trump?

    right? i don't get this whole, "we'll get him unless he gets voted in again in 2020." it makes absolutely no sense.

    with that said, i still want to see the evidence schiff claims to have, that not even mueller had, and if he can't produce it i'd like him to step down from ic and congress as well as jail time for trying to subvert our nation with his propaganda.

    possibly, but your stance is they're so loyal they'd never vote to oust trump. my question was, what's your make believe scenario in which they'd be pushed to contemplate ousting him?

    it's your make believe scenario so you should supply the make believe crime in which the republican senate members would push to oust trump.

    i can't think of a hypothetical situation in which trump committed this hypothetical crime in order to push republican senate members to hypothetically oust trump on hypothetical crimes.

    what hypothetical crimes are you assuming trump might commit in the future mr. minority report?
