McConnell got it wrong ... intentionally

[Sandy Shanks]

The special counsel, after a two year investigation, stated that Russia posed a “significant threat” as it increased the frequency and intensity of its active measures.

FBI director Chris Wray concurred. “The Russians are absolutely intent on trying to interfere with our elections,” he said.

The Senate Intelligence Committee released a wide-ranging report that detailed Russia's attempts to hack US election infrastructure during the 2016 election, urging states and the federal government to do more to prevent election cyber- attacks in the future.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) blocked two election security measures last week, arguing Democrats are trying to give themselves a "political benefit."

Republicans in Congress have not sponsored an election security bill that has made it to the floor.

Today, McConnell felt it was necessary to defend his decision, but the undying Trump loyalist only provided a diversion. He defended himself against an imagined critique. A critique he chose rather than the real one.

Mitch McConnell took to the Senate floor Monday to blast the "hyperventilating hacks" who have accused him a being a Russian sympathizer.

He compared the attacks to "modern-day McCarthyism."

These are the attacks he chose. No reliable, respected news source has labeled McConnell a "Russian sympathizer."

Then McConnell made the mistake of singling out the cause of his angst. "Over the last several days, I was called unpatriotic, un-American and essentially treasonous by a couple of left-wing pundits on the basis of bold-faced lies," McConnell said. "I was accused of aiding and abetting the very man I've singled out as an adversary and opposed for nearly 20 years, Vladimir Putin."

Those "left-wing pundits" are Joe Scarborough of MSNBC fame and Dana Milbank of the Washington post. Those two left-wing pundits do not speak for the American people, the news media, not even MSNBC or the Post. They expressed their personal opinions.

McConnell chose these two as targets because, like Trump and his outrageous, immature tweets, the majority leader thinks Trump's gullible base will believe his rant and ignore the real reason he blocked the two bills and the harsh criticism that immediately followed.

Like Trump, McConnell chose extremists views and characterized them as representative of the news media. Once again, only Trump's base will believe such nonsense. No serious news correspondent believes McConnell is a communist sympathizer. That is absurd.

McConnell's reason for blocking the two bills is much more basic. He got marching orders from his boss. According to his boss, the Russian threat is just a "ridiculous hoax."

"There was no defense to this ridiculous hoax, this witch hunt, that's been going on for a long time, pretty much from the time I came down on the escalator with our first lady," Trump said after Mueller's testimony.

Fox News anchor Shep Smith criticized Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell for failing to address Russian interference in U.S. elections on Monday.

"The Russians are using cyber influence to divide us amongst ourselves," Smith began, once the network cut from McConnell. "They attacked our election, it is the consensus of the intelligence community that they are attacking our election now. There has not been one to stand alone bill in his chamber, the chamber which he leads, to try to stop it."

"There have not been congressional hearings to bring the nation together around the common cause that is the Russians are attacking us and we must make it stop. Democracy is at stake. That has not happened, not yet. Not at all," he concluded.

There was no defense to this ridiculous hoax, this witch hunt, that's been going on for a long time, pretty much from the time I came down on the escalator with our first lady.

Was your meat puppet faggot messiah worried about it?

No, he mocked the idea, until hitlery lost and the commies needed an excuse.


Suck it bed wetters. Hitlery is a criminal sociopath hag, and if anything comes of this asinine shit show, it will be more proof of democrook incompetence and corruption.

[lennypartiv]

I thought you Democrats wanted our presidents to have meetings with other foreign leaders rather than start wars at the drop of a hat.

 

[Rigby5]

When people talk about "Russian interference", they never come up with a single specific.
There was the DNC email hack, but that was a service.
We all had a right to know the debate questions were compromised.
So that was not an interference.
No one has come up with a single thing the Russians did or could have done, to interfere in the election.

 

[daveman]

Okay, show of hands...how many people changed their vote because of Russian shitpost bots on Facebook?

Lessee...I count zero.

How many "stand alone" voting machines were hacked by the Russians in the 2016 elections?

All you fucking libtards every think, is what the liberal lame stream media force feeds you on the daily vids.

Zero(0) voting machines were hacked by Russians. Now if you want to know who worked with the Russians to sway the 2016 elections, just look at the crooked sick bitch who kept falling down all the time. There was your Russian Collusion, and in the next year the liberals all they way up to the top are going to fall down.

 

[whitehall]

Yeah but it's nothing new except to lefties afflicted with TDS or kids who get as far as a college education and still don't know shit about the Constitution and American history. The principal mission for the CIA in the last half century and longer is to use American propaganda to influence the democratic elections in foreign countries. Likewise the KGB and the Russians have used the freedom inherent in the United States to use propaganda in social media in the U.S.to try to influence a presidential election It's nothing freaking new except democrats feign hysteria about foreign propaganda for political reasons and their ignorant core agrees with it. The ironic thing is that the Obama administration used a faked dossier from a foreign agent (employed by the Russians?) to try to influence the results and later to undermine the administration of the winner of a presidential election.

 

[Rigby5]

Sure there was foreign interference, the Steele Dossier.

By the way, I am a real liberal leftest.

Need you be reminded that it was Trump who laughed at Romney and joked during the debate how 'the 1980s called and wants its foreign policy back'?

Need you be reminded that it was Hillary who gave Putin's ambassador a plastic prop of a 'reset' button that said 'overcharge' in Russian?

Need you be reminded how it was Obama who whispered to Putin-Puppet Medvedev to pass to Putin that after his re-election he would be more 'flexible' / able to cooperate with Vlad...how 2 years later Obama gave him uranium, Crimea, and 2 years of in-challenged 'interference' in the US?

Even Barry's own administration officials admitted they 'choked' after they found out.

If Obama really gave a damn about Russian interference / illegal manipulation of the 2016 election he and his administration would not have protected Hillary from prison and tried to affect a coup against the newly elected President.

If Democrats really gave a damn about Russians they would not have turned a blind eye to Hillary buying Russian Counter-Intelligence propaganda from a foreign spy and trying to use it to alter the outcome of the election.

If Democrats really gave a damn about Russians they would not have wasted the last 3 years attempting to undermine the US President and the US government and facilitating the illegal invasion by criminals and would have instead done something about the on-going Russian interference!

Snowflakes, think for 1 second --

After the disastrous Mueller testimony, after the Democrats warned us of the on-going Russian attempts to affect the 2020 elections, WHY THE HELL WOULD NADLER AND THE DEMOCRATS ANNOUNCE TO THE WORLD THEY WERE INVREASING THEIR EFFORTS / # OF INVESTIGATIONS / ATTEMPTS TO GO AFTER PRESIDENT TRUMP INSTEAD OF TAKING STEPS TO STOP THE RUSSIANS THEY CLAIM ARE WORKING SO HARD TO INTERFERE IN THE 2020 ELECTIONS?

Are they lying about the Russians, exaggerating about the threat, or do they just seriously have their priorities partisanly f*ed up?

This story again. McConnell blocked a bill that would have mandated that all states use paper ballots. Some states may not be prepared for paper ballots. Some states may not have the money to comply with this unfunded mandate. IIRC that was an issue in Georgia last year. "Election security" sounds so much more sinister than "paper ballots" I suppose.

We don't know how good or bad the situation is now. The bills may have been a waste. We have more fraud by ID's not being checked and illegals voting-we should start our election protection here.

Joe Scarborough isn't a liberal. He's a republican. He was in the House as a republican for Florida's first district for 6 years.

People who disagree with trump come both from republican and democratic parties.

I don't usually agree with Scarborough but he got it right this time. mcconnell has blocked very needed legislation for the simple reasons that he and trump need the help from russia and mcconnell took thousand of dollars from a few election machine manufacturers. It will cost them money to change the machines. But mostly, he and trump need that help from russia. Both of them aren't well liked.

It's not going to cost the machine companies a dime.
It's going to cost counties and states billions of dollars for a problem that doesn't exist.
It's going to increase the cost of elections after the new machines are purchased, forever.
It's going to cause chaos because there isn't enough stock and supplies for the whole country to switch at one time.(the ones that don't have paper ballots already).

There isn't enough time to do it for 2020. Maybe not enough time for 2022.
