No matter which side of the aisle you are on, these are not good days for the US. The Russians couldn't have planned this any better... and have probably succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. You can bet your *** that while we are running around figuring this crap out... Putin and company are in no way divided and are working hard to further Russian policy around the world.

I don’t understand why it’s taking this long to prove collusion. So far it’s just collateral damage. Either show your cards or this needs to be put to bed.

Initially I wasn't a fan for the "dislike" button that Chris asked for feedback.

I'm rethinking that position if numerous political threads start to appear. This is one of the few sites with just good ole Clemson sports.

Nothing like having a couple "No political zones" to keep your sanity.

If Hilary were elected, there is a good chance we were going to war and the US would have stomped the ever living sh*t out of Russia. Russia wouldn't stand a chance in a direct confrontation with the United States military, not without using nuclear weapons. So yea, they probably are in a much better place today than they ever thought possible.

A phishing scam isn’t an “attack”. It’s just that, a scam. It wasn’t “thwarted”, the dems just didn’t fall for it (this time...).
I agree. It was the precursor to having usernames and passwords compromised. Glad they learned something from last time.

Not a partisan issue. Microsoft reported yesterday that they thwarted an attempt to similarly compromise the Hudson Institute and the International Republican Institute, two conservative think-tanks.

Russia wants to sow as much chaos as they can, they don't care about political leanings. Whatever warnings were apparently discussed in Helsinki are either being ignored or didn't happen. Either scenario is cause for alarm.

Well it’s about time to hit back. Although we have been doing this to them. These actions are nothing new.

Yep, we literally have the best economy we have ever seen....truly sad days.
Lets not ignore the staggering amount of debt. Anyone can pump up an economy temporarily by financing it. Dems and Republicans have both been doing it for decades.

By just about every major economic standard that there is...
The United States ranks 2nd overall this year, displaying a constant improvement in score since 2010. Although ranking high overall, the country ranks 25th in basic requirements, with institutions, coming in below the top 10 and the macroeconomic environment placing 83rd. The macroeconomic environment pillar, out of all the components of the basic requirements subindex, has advanced the least and is one of the country’s worst-ranked areas. Compared with other top-ranked countries,
the United States performs poorly in health and primary education, coming in 29th despite an improvement of 0.15 in score over the last year. The strength of the
United States comes from its performance in efficiency enhancers and innovation and sophistication factors, where it comes in at 1st and 2nd respectively. These two subindexes reflect sound and well-functioning factors of production and product markets and a vibrant innovation
ecosystem. The United States faces numerous policy uncertainties moving forward, many of which are in the areas where it is relatively weakest. Successfully meeting institutional challenges relating to both public and private institutions, improving the macroeconomic environment, and investing in human capital—particularly in the areas
of health and primary education—will be crucial for the United States to maintain its position near the top of the competitiveness rankings.
