    "There is no serious person out there who would suggest somehow that you could even rig America’s elections, in part because they’re so decentralized and the numbers of votes involved, there’s no evidence that that has happened in the past or that it will happen this time, and so I’d invite Mr. Trump to stop whining and make his case to get votes.” -Barack Obama, 2016

    "When I easily won the Electoral College, the whole game changed and the Russian excuse became the narrative of the Dems," -Donald Trump, 2018

    Boom. Obama has been humiliated, as Trump smoked him with his own words. Ouch.

    The Russians' goal was never to rig the election, but to sew discontent and they succeeded beyond their wildest imaginations in part due to help by media sources and our unhinged friends on the left. I'm sure they aren't intentionally aiding the Russians, but they are doing a damn good job of doing so unwittingly.

    You are wrong about this Russian meddling thing.

    They didn't do it .

    Trump asked Putin THREE TIMES and Putin told him he didn't. Trump said that there was no reason to not believe him. So stop with these false narratives that Russia tried to sew discourse or alter elections. Trump has the reassurance of Putin himself .of our president can trust him, we all can.

    Were these the talking points at the staff meeting? Maybe we should be taking you seriously. You've been the cyberx of the D&D forum this whole time and we didn't even realize it, the guy with the inside scoop to what the Russians were and are thinking, what their intentions have been all along. AND, so willing to share this info. I hope they don't plant something false to out your Mole/Troll ass. We'd hate for you to lose your corner cube.

    K, back to not being sarcastic.

    Currently the right wing is trying to spin this as "divide the country" and stop it at there. Yes the Russians tried to sew discord. But they also wanted Trump to be part of that "sewing of discord" as what better way to sew discord than having a head of state who routinely goes on Twitter spats?

    The way the right wing is attempting to spin this is by saying since there were pro BLM and Antifa posts that means they didn't care for Trump being elected.

    But what they won't mention is that the way those pro BLM and Antifa posts were constructed was in a manner to hinder voter turnout out for Hillary in the general election. Remember how the term "super predator" was thrown around at a crazy rate? That was part of these troll groups trying to spin that Hillary Clinton is not for BLM and Antifa. They made it so it was Bernie or bust. This all helped Trump.

    A sockpuppet project designed to direct naive Americans who don't understand how social media works, the Internet's most valuable resource, to landing pages on clickbait sites full of ads targeted to naive Americans who don't understand how social media works, was sold to naive Americans who don't understand how social media works as a casus belli to instigate conflict with a nuclear power.

    These people were exploiting ignorance to make money, which while distasteful, is still preferable to exploiting ignorance to incite conflict. But then, that's been the history of our nation since the sinking of the Maine.

    So all of the President's complaints about fake voting organized by the Clinton campaign to rig the election are the ramblings of a lunatic?

    The only time he's not a rambling lunatic is when he's delivering the speeches someone writes for him.

    Trump claims the 2016 election was rigged, not the other way around.

    Allegedly, Russia interfered with our Democratic election process by disseminating misinformation aimed to help candidate Trump (fairly) win an (electoral college) election.

    Democrats (or Obama) don't think the election was rigged.

    Obama never claimed any election has been rigged.

    Bigtexxx you need to learn what a strawman is. Of course, we all know you know.
