US intelligence warned House members Russia is working to get Trump re-elected – reports

[Lemons]

This is unbelievable. And what’s even more unbelievable is that Trump’s base will have no problem with Trump putting a yes man into a position of power that the guy is not qualified for. They are being diverted to Sanders news where right wing news is telling them that Sanders will take everything they own and give it to immigrants!

Trump’s only concern about Russia interfering in America’s elections is how it affects him personally, not what it does to the safety of our country.

Socialist bernie has also been notified russia is working to get him elected. his base is perfectly okay with that..considering her is actually working with russia

It’s about the leaders, not the base.

Bernie isn’t calling the information from our country’s own intelligence agency a hoax. Trump actually called the report “disinformation “ to his rally audience. That’s all it took for those people to echo that the report is a hoax. Dangerous precedent for a president to lie about this.

Sanders called Russia out. Trump called it a lie. Incredible.

Bernie has told Russia to stay out of our elections. Even if he hadn't, it wouldn't excuse Trump's reaction. Trump has shown he doesn't love our country. Our nation deserves better.

So if Russia is trying to interfere and they are trying to steer people into voting in Sanders, what EXACTLY can be done about it? The claims have been they're exerting influence on social media, setting up bots, making false posts.

What EXACTLY can the US do about it? Block all Russian IP addresses? What about those operating from within our country? We're going to have the corporations deciding what's really Russian influence and what's not? This censorship is what's happening now to those that don't toe the radical left line and spout the approved rhetoric. There are independent and conservative channels and pages being banned, shadow blocked, and taken out of search results constantly. That's censorship. That's controlling information that we're able to obtain. That's living in communist China.

Block all Russian IP addresses? You're kidding right?

Russia and far right groups have been putting out conspiracy theories and untruths and propaganda into our elections, European countries and possibly the EU. Radical left doesn't belong in this topic.

The first thing that can be done is acknowledge it's happening and educate people on what to look for in terms of legitimate news vs fake news coming from questionable sources. That can't be done because Trump fired the messenger and is telling his base that it's misinformation. He's lying.

President Trump is more pro America than any democrat running for office. President Trump loves the USA.
It is extremely difficult to see any love of this country in any one on the debate stage earlier this week.

I've been following Trump for decades. Donald Trump only cares about what gives him power. All those people who think he's so great need to look at his life and business practices before he entered politics. He talks the talk. He doesn't walk the walk. He's also a skilled liar. Too bad so many good people have fallen for those lies.

LOL, every time you say stuff like this I think of good ole Archie Bunker.

That "education" has been discussed and publicised since 2016. That's when this first started becoming a topic. Trump firing someone yesterday is immaterial. You now have Facebook deciding what's fact and what isn't. This is all a slippery slope leading to censorship.

It's not FB deciding what's fact and what isn't. It's American intelligence agencies. The professionals who have made a career of protecting our country say Russia is a real threat to our democracy. Trump and his supporters can deny it all they want. Their denials won't change the truth.
