It doesn't matter whether or not Russia was or wasn't behind the leaks, the truth is what stopped Hillary from being elected.
At this point you'd think they'd take a hint and provide some proof. America has been fed bullshit for years. "Weapons of mass destruction" to justify a war to the DNC's direct manipulation of the primary's to elect their chosen candidate to name a few.
All this from a president who ran on a platform of "transparency."

The CIA has been asked for proof by Congress and the CIA's answer was nope!

Good point. Also, the Democrats should consider not being a bunch of shifty shitheads. That way, if the "Russians" hack you , it doesn't cause a devastating loss of trust between the Democratic party and the American people.

While there is some truth to this, America instead elected the shiftiest man alive. One who settled a fraud case against him after winning the presidency, for fuck's sake. One who lies to you constantly and tells you you should stop believing the entire world and only believe him. Don't trust anyone in the media, the democrats, the FBI, the CIA, women who accuse him of sexual assault, the U.S. Government and so on down the line. The mark of a true fascist. Then he hires the Richest people

Only because he ran against the shiftiest woman alive.

In America including several alums of Goldman Sachs and you idiots have nothing to say about it. What was the election about if not that you viewed Hillary as corrupt and a tool of Wall street? Trump won't sever ties his businesses. He's 1000 times more corrupt than Hillary ever was

Where did Putin say this.
[–] anonnynonny 0 points 37 points 37 points (+37|-0) ago (edited ago)
Putin didn't say it. A spokesman for the Putin administration (if that's the right word), Dmitry Peskov, said the following to the Japanese press:
So to summarize... It wasn't Putin, it wasn't said to Obama, and they didn't use the words "shut up." So literally everything in the clickbait headline is wrong.
I appreciate what zerohedge does for the most part, but paraphrasing something, putting it in quotes, and attributing it to someone else entirely is a shit thing to do IMO.

It's not the messenger, but the message. Isn't that what everyone said when Snowden leaked the beginnings of the underbelly that is our government. This is a catalyst, begets a reaction of equal malice.

That's not lashing out, that's calling a bluff
[–] Alois_sticklgruber 0 points 5 points 5 points (+5|-0) ago
America hacks, spys or EVERYONE. But thats ok, because we're the world police.
Obama blames russia (no proof) and he literally wants to seek vengeance. No proof of russian hacking, no proof of russia tampering with voting machines. But they want revenge? From a nobel peace prize winner? This shit could be a movie

So Putin calls out Obama for his bullshit make believe hacking story, now watch Dumbo fold up like a cheap suit and go hide. It was only a matter of time till Putin got tired of it. We all know what Dumbo will do……nothing, we probably won't hear another word about it. Its called a total lack of leadership and a hatred toward America and the American people. He's a cowardly fuck that will go down in history as our worst President.
