Speaking of Trump Russia apologists and abettors:

Devin “Midnight Ride” Nunes spent a bunch of campaign money on a trip to Vegas and Celtics tickets.

This thread has been interesting. Why one side versus the other. No doubt they hacked both. I cannot believe that Republicans are less susceptible to spearfishing and other phishing methods, so armored up that attempts just bounce off. They are the first personalities in the work place I expect to say “Oh look Coupons! I am going to sign up!”

As you said, blackmail would be an excellent reason that the Republicans have zero issue. Which side would be likely to contend with and own up to an issue worthy of blackmail? Which side would likely try to hide it? The respective parties have a demonstrated difference when a moral or ethical dilemma develops. No one is perfect, but if I wanted a blackmail target, the Republican seems the most productive. That sounds like a broad brush attitude on my part, but I think we are seeing it play out in front of us.

Absolutely. I was still thinking in “psy-ops” mode, but yeah, getting dirt to blackmail the GOPers works too.

LOL! Yeah, and those “experts” are the FBI and CIA and people in our justice department who analyzed the data and facts and came to the conclusions Rohrbacher doesn’t like. No “expert” he goes out to find is going to be privy to all that information. Meh…he’s just going to go shopping for a quack who will say whatever he wants him to say. The guy is such a rancid douche.

Has the Putin White(s Only) House visit been finalized yet?

I think the latter part of September would be just about ideal. Cockholster can drag him around to various campaign events introducing him as “the man who got me selected.”

Republicans will only get interested if their porn sites get hacked.

Trump might be helping work out Vladdy’s residency requirements as well. If the guy is going to overthrow the country, he needs digs to crash in, driver’s licenses for his drivers, voters registration and so on. It can be complicated settling in. Melania can take him and family\henchmen around, showing them the sights, house hunting, where the good supermarkets and salons are.

I’m guessing it will coincide with Dotard’s epic military parade, so Uncle Vladdy can see up close all the US assets he will be taking over…

Kinda like a buyer’s expo…

I don’t think Gates even cares about MS anymore so long as share prices stay firm for what he still owns.

He’s an odd person, to say the least. He has ostensibly liberal leanings (or maybe just messianic tendencies) to fight disease in the 3rd World and improve secondary education domestically, but otherwise seems to be apolitical. A shame as he’s got the financial clout to counter the shit done by people like the Mercers and the Cocks, but does nothing, suggesting that he doesn’t care or perhaps is inclined to tacitly support right wing movements.

We have to remember that lardass knows Twitter and nothing else. He cannot use a laptop or iPad or email, or maybe even messaging. He literally has NO knowledge of anything IT related except Twitter, which is a magic box to him.

I think they hacked both parties. They got real dirt on the repugs. They published the lame ass stuff they got from the Dems and used the gooey black stuff to work their way with the repugs.

Don’t strain yourself. You might break something.

Impressive business-eze onslaught there.

It was both parties in '16.

Rubio,Sasse,Graham and Mike McCaul (Texas rep) either got hacked or had to deal with a failed attempt.
