The biggest threat would be hacking and changing votes. funding facebook ad campaigns I don't think warrants an act of war. We can be grown ups and decide what ads to believe or not and we can work to expose the sources of political ads so we can gauge credibility behind the information sources.Of course the dems jumped on the Russia story because it worked to their advantage. That doesn't mean there was nothing there. You can't deny that there were several lies and cover ups coming from the Trump campaign about this issue. Either they all lied and jeopardized their careers and credibility to cover for Trump and save him from bad press or there was more there. Thats being exposed and investigated. I agree it is way overblown. But im not naive enough to say that there is nothing going on.again - since no one cared until they lost - i question whether or not there *IS* a story.To say there is no politics being played with the Russia story would not be honest. To say there is no story with the Russia situation would also not be honest.there was also some key members who WANTED to testify in the open, on record, who were not allowed to do that. seems they were blocking him the whole time. so if this person in question (i'll bet you know who i'm talking about) had such vital info, why has it been so hard for him to provide it to the very committee looking for the *cough cough* truth?
CNN makes shit up daily so i don't trust much of what they say or do anymore. if you need the list of CNN fake news, let me know. as far as i'm concerned, once you have quotes from people who admit that russia was a fake story that i'm sure you will call "fake news" because it's not "bad trump!". or that admit they helped hillary all they could, now what? are their stories FAKE NEWS but all BAD TRUMP is not? i find it very difficult to believe only 1 side would resort to using FAKE NEWS so you tell me who i'm supposed to believe and why?
i take my emotions out of this anymore and look at facts. i use my longstanding judgement for right and wrong and when people break the law, i don't give a rats unholy ass which "side" they are on - that needs to stop.
WE THE PEOPLE need to stop both sides from breaking the law and not show apathy when we hate the other side.
so to me the entire RUSSIA stance is fake news. no one gave a shit about russia until the democrats lost. kinda odd to me when i take my dogs out of the race.
but if we must look at russia, fine. look away and dig deep. ANY ONE AT ANY TIME having questionable dealings with them - bring 'em out and let's look. i will not subscribe to a 1 sided vendetta against 1 person that hides behind the guise of someone doing something wrong that as of yet we have zero physical evidence of it.
yet when we have it for the liberal side, deflect, diminish and deny.
I don't really know if we can say that actual foreign interference in our election is a small matter regardless of whether there was collusion or not.
There were ads that played to people fears to help influence a vote. But I do agree with your first line.
