The GOP knows better than to take US intelligence at face value.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

I had a series of really bizarre dreams last night

One involved stuffing an entire family into a small glass box along with their pet parakeet

and later I was using a disabled tank as a makeshift artillery piece while fighting alongside communist insurgents in Algeria, where I met a compulsive liar from my childhood that I haven't seen or spoken to in almost 30 years

So if there's strong evidence to suggest Russia hacked the RNC emails and have been sitting on them, what do you guys think the end goal is here? Just start leaking them after Trump's inauguration to cause more destabilization or will they try blackmailing GOP officials?

If any of those emails contained info from Trump's tax returns then I have no doubt he'd rather bend the knee to Putin than let those get leaked.

Proposal: Liberals should start yelling "You're a puppet!" or "Cyka Blyat!" at Trump at every opportunity possible.

Yep. People are really putting way too much thought into this when it's very simple. Putin wants a divided and distracted America so he can better get away with doing poo poo in Eastern Europe/Middle East. There isn't some insidious plot to vassalize the US or some poo poo.

Data-mining it for potential passwords ofGOP officials who get positions in the Trump administration, seeing who's been receptive to Trump's pro-Russia shift and who's pushing back against it, and other things along those lines.
