Thomas Friedman

Our democracy is in serious danger.

President Trump is either totally compromised by the Russians or is a towering fool, or both, but either way he has shown himself unwilling or unable to defend America against a Russian campaign to divide and undermine our democracy.

That is, either Trump’s real estate empire has taken large amounts of money from shady oligarchs linked to the Kremlin — so much that they literally own him; or rumors are true that he engaged in sexual misbehavior while he was in Moscow running the Miss Universe contest, which Russian intelligence has on tape and he doesn’t want released; or Trump actually believes Russian President Vladimir Putin when he says he is innocent of intervening in our elections — over the explicit findings of Trump’s own C.I.A., N.S.A. and F.B.I. chiefs.

In sum, Trump is either hiding something so threatening to himself, or he’s criminally incompetent to be commander in chief. It is impossible yet to say which explanation for his behavior is true, but it seems highly likely that one of these scenarios explains Trump’s refusal to respond to Russia’s direct attack on our system — a quiescence that is simply unprecedented for any U.S. president in history.

I don’t real nonsense like this. Except if I feel like having a nice laugh.

I dare you to real it. And then I double dare you to read it.

Or here is a good one: a pundit compared Trump's meddling denial by comparing it to FDR taking to the airwaves the day after Pearl Harbor and saying- ' Tokyo must be laughing their asset of for what happened' and likens the bombing of Pearl Harbor and 9/11 to the Russian meddling. AND calls for an appropriate military retaliation.

Whhhhhaaaaaat? This is America?

Saying that is like saying they’re going to take everyone’s guns away, it ain’t happening.

Anyone who actually thinks Homeland Security will “take over the elections” doesn’t deserve a response. But here’s one anyway.

Yeah, that's what we thought about the Patriot Act and mass surveillance in 2001 youngin yet it happened nonetheless. You're a fool to ignore it.

It’s in the constitution that the states control the voting. So the federal government can’t just step in and take that over.

But yeah, fear and paranoia are fun I guess. Minus facts and reason of course. Feels good?

Yeah, it's not like the federal government has ever eroded a state's rights or the constitution away before, oh wait a second.... Moron.

Is this the degenerative flame wars you guys were telling me about in meta? Where's the popcorn eating emoticon? Nevermind, no time for popcorn, I want to beat the crowd to a good seat!

Haha so secretive spying programs based on flimsy court rulings in secret, which violate the fourth amendment at least in spirit, is proof that any other possible direct and open violation of the constitution is going to happen... whose the moron here?

You’re a paranoid fear mongering low level thinker who can’t even parse a single issue, let alone separate things properly from each other. Argument from false analogy much? Lol.

A federal agency can’t simply come in and usurp the states election processes. Sorry but it’s not going to happen. But yeah, keep being retarded.

Only good thing that might come from more oversight of election process is that maybe all those millions of illegal immigrants and dead people who vote democrat might not be able to do that anymore.

Lol
