I’m trying to imagine a (Low IQ) Vlad Putin wanting to manipulate election results that would usher in conservative Republicans, Hugely Experienced & Muscular Generals, a promise of regulation roll backs & industrial & energy expansion equaling a Robust US EconomyEconomy.

I’ve taken to reminding folks that if you are on the “Russian hacks helped elect Trump” band wagon, then what you are really saying is that when the American public knows what the DNC is doing behind closed doors, that they vote GOP, regardless of who the candidate is. Hardly a thing that covers your party with glory.

Among other things the Koolaid Useful Idiots are assuming (not stating) is that Vlad Putin would want a tough, conservative, general’s populating, regulation roll back, industry-energy reburgeoning economy with muscle… Rather than a spineless, easily manipulated four more years of the last eight. Sure, Dems & Slathering MSM Lapdog, old Vlad would want to help bring back Balls & Intelligence.!!!!

Darrell at 8:31 last night: You give me some hope, and I can see that there may be political differences depending on the agency involved (e.g., FBI vs DOJ) but my perception is based on stories like this one from 10/26/2016. From that story (in the Hill):

Of the roughly $2 million that federal workers from 14 agencies spent on presidential politics by the end of September, about $1.9 million, or 95 percent, went to the Democratic nominee’s campaign, according to an analysis by The Hill. Employees at all the agencies analyzed, without exception, are sending their campaign contributions overwhelmingly to Clinton over her Republican counterpart. Several agencies, such as the State Department, which Clinton once led, saw more than 99 percent of contributions going to Clinton. Employees of the Department of Justice, which investigated Clinton’s use of a private email server while she was secretary of State, gave Clinton 97 percent of their donations. Trump received $8,756 from DOJ employees compared with $286,797 for Clinton. From IRS employees, Clinton received 94 percent of donations.

Thanks forth clarification on Ayotte. I grew up in NH in the 50s and know its politics have changed beyond all reckoning, so putting an inaccuracy like that to bed is really helpful.

The left has 2 dogs, one is rabid and the other is a naive puppy. One should not underestimate the former, and should attempt to put the other through another rinse cycle.

Well CA may not like it when federal funds start to be reallocated to other states. What, the country doesn’t revolve around CA? Inconceivable!

GB, it is indeed just the beginning. There is going to be open defiance in California on deporting illegals. The state legal framework is going to be put in place setting up a major confrontation with the federal government, with marches and protests to follow. Read this:

Draining the swamp is not an ‘option’. It’s an existential necessity because those on the right literally face an emerging mortal threat in the Left.

Never underestimate an enemy, especially ideological fanatics and the American Left are composed of secular fanatics, whose ‘progressive tenets’ have assumed for them, the equivalence of religious imperatives.

This is just the beginning. The more obvious it is that they’re losing, the less constrained by law and by moral, ethical and cultural norms will they be.

Don’t dismiss the concept of “rigging” an election out of hand.

One interesting fact brought out by the Michigan recount is that more Han 30% of Detroit’s precincts had more ballot cast than voters.

The Democrats in Michigan attempted to “rig” the election by the good old method of ballot-box stuffing. They were just overconfident and misjudged the number of “extra” votes necessary 🙂
