A private entity that is solely employed by the government is obviously way different than paying the government to do it, because The One True Way tells us that private is always better than big gubbmint.

yeah for one its way easier to get paid more money to do less work lol

glad the goalposts have moved all the way back from "trump isn't compromised by Russia, that's ridiculous and paranoid" to "so what if trump is compromised by Russia, they're just looking out for their best interests and Hillary got some donation funding from Saudi Arabia"

the actual point is that painting the hacks as a response solely to rhetoric from American politicians is stupid and completely wrong when you notice they're doing the exact same thing to most of Europe and have been doing so for ten years

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2017/01/09/russia-engineered-election-hacks-europe/96216556/

quote:

Russia's alleged use of computer hacking to interfere with the U.S. presidential election fits a pattern of similar incidents across Europe for at least a decade.

Cyberattacks in Ukraine, Bulgaria, Estonia, Germany, France and Austria that investigators attributed to suspected Russian hackers appeared aimed at influencing election results, sowing discord and undermining faith in public institutions that included government agencies, the media and elected officials.

...

In 2007, Putin told the Munich Security Conference that the United States’ effort to spread its form of democracy was an insidious threat to Russia and other nations and that his government would push back. Russian sabotage of Western computer systems started that same year.

I still really want to see the RNC emails as they melted down from the rise of Trump and wikileaks denying that to us is their greatest injustice imo

shut the gently caress up about Hillary nobody cares about her garbage campaign dude

there's clearly other issues here like the fact that Russia is using the rules of Western society against it to undermine the basis of our institutions and destabilize NATO and the EU for their own ends

Could you stop making GBS threads up the thread with self quotes and laffo spams? They add nothing to the discussion and suggest you have no intention to meaningfully engage in discussion.

we're having lots of meaningful discussion in the thread where every post about how the russian federation did a thing is met with "ah, so you're saying you want to kiss hillary clinton on the mouth? gross imo"

The Founding Father were really kind of dumb in many ways.

That or malicious conniving bastards who wanted everyone else to *think* they weren't going to form a political party so they could unleash their political party and take the others by surprise.

or smug power-hungry aristocrats who thought commoners are too stupid to self govern and thought they were any better than the other smug power-hungry aristocrats they fashioned themselves after in the old world
"dumb and incompetent in a condescending way" is the history of western politics basically
