US Intel Warns Of Russian Disinformation: NYT; Some GOP Heedless | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
Nunes should step down and be also indicted as one of the corruptors to promote this false narrative with rudy and his mafia partners! The money paying for “potus”, rudy’s and house and reps actions is the same…Russian oil/gas money! Russian accets? Maybe but if quaks like a duck and acts like a rat!?
Good luck with that 😂
@NoSkillzDad You’re really pushing the revolution/protest angle. What’s it to you???
@Crystal Giddens Does anyone ever actually take the bait? ;D
So what does this say about Republican Senators…they are the enemy of the American people, just like tRump, doing the work of Vladimir Putin to tear Americans apart.
Steven Hoskins
Excellent comment/reply. I have done the same.
@Bovine One That’s assuming they have a moral compass. Doubt it
yes.
It’s actually an act of treason. It is an attack on the American people and our democracy directly. They are working for the Russians?
@vince kelly It wasn’t fake that Trump and his campaign encouraged and invited Russian intrusion in the election. It wasn’t fake that Trump obstructed the Special Counsel investigation into this encouraged intrusion.
@Crystal Giddens nobody cares about your reservations. Go back to organizing your sock drawer
@surfpsych that has been debunked ages ago , Trump was being humerous when he asked Russia for help , and you can’t obstruct a crime that didn’t happen , again that was debunked
@vince kelly Those were the findings of the Mueller report, though you prefer Barr’s micro-summary.
The Democratic Coalition just filed a House Ethics complaint against Rep. Devin Nunes for abuse of office which violates House Rule XXIII (1), following reports he met a Ukrainian prosecutor to get dirt on VP Biden during an official overseas trip. #DevinNunesGotCaught <------ Neener Neener ;op
eurekajim #VoteBlue2020 All this time, I thought Liddle’ devin’s “green” coloration was from too much pasture grazing!
Moove along Liddle’ devin! Back to Russia for you!
@Eli Dicken An American would say “stupid old” not “old stupid.” You folks need better editors.
Guys and Gals, don’t even respond to the nutbar. His effort is to have his idiotic moniker displayed on the screen in all caps and highlighted over and over again.
@Constituent A That´s how he gets paid.
We the People might have to take to the streets, for WEEKS or longer, to take back our democracy. The GOP is complicit with Russia and 45* who is a Russian installed autocrat. The GOP (probably) won’t vote to remove 45* despite him being by far the most lawless, unconstitutional, and unAmerican potus in history, and I’m not even sure if they’ll allow an election in 2020.
And even if we do have another election, it won’t at all be free and fair (remember that the last legitimate GOP potus was Bush Sr. ffs) and 45* will “win” again. At that point, even if the GOP don’t purge dems from congress and imprison them, we will be living in a fascist totalitarian state regardless of the official name given to its governmental structure…unless We the People Rise Up and take back our country!
You mean cheat again…
Colin Cleveland 😂 touché
Russia hacked the GOP and all their leadership is being blackmailed. That is the only reasonable explanation for their vile behavior.
3LD I agree, actually that’s why I figure the toadies still around Trump are sticking up for him and Russia, Putin told Trump what he has on them, and how corrupt they are.
Russia’s greed for oil & gas is the original reason! The N.W. Passage to Alaska is being freed of ice blockage due to climate warming, Its why Trump wanted Greenland & since he recently vetoed ANWAR protection in Alaska wildlife refuge, you can be guaranteed, he’s selling it off to the Ruskies if Democrats don’t stand together. !st thing he did as a so-called Pres, was veto our participation in Paris Accord Act, mocking alternative energy sources, Then he has almost completely done away w/ all environmental protections, to allow for massive oil drilling projects. Ukrainians need help to block Russians for same reason.
Orrrrrr, they could actually be this disgusting, feckless and stupid in their defense of this administration.
@SANDERS IS AN OLD STUPID COMMIE Oh yea, Uranium mine sales & puppy dog tails while Obama was whispering about how Hillary should lose the election so she can troll Trump into thinking that Ukraine stole the DNC servers and hack the 2016 election so she would lose the election and be able to lead the DEEP STATE and help PUTIN cause the STEELE dossier release about the pee-pee tape that will start the Mueller investigated into how Paul manafort was set up to be the fall guy for Genl. Mike Flynn being a possible target for Russian blackmail after George Papadopoulos, told Roger Stone to call Rick Gates and tell him he’s drunk and may have said something to a Australian diplomat. Nixon was not a crook and Trump never ever lied, this is only a dream so go back to sleep and wake up after the next election and all will be great again!
From this day henceforward, everyone who promotes the Ukraine/ CrowdStrike/server nonsense is a Russian asset – witting, unwitting, or witless.
Ted Thompson
Great reply!
American Lost
Good one – lol!
Amazing how many Russian bot farms are here.. they are definitely ramping up again atm
This is so disheartening.
I never thought I’d see the day…not just that Republicans (any party, for that matter), would swallow this crap whole, but go against their own country’s intelligence, side with one of our most slippery adversaries, in an attempt to protect their own candidate, caught in the act of doing his own pale, cheap imitation of the very crimes those individuals committed against us.
Twisted. And even more upsetting, fully 35/45% off of Actual Americans, belly up to the bar to drink the same poison.
But hey! They thought he would give average Americans tax cuts! Lower prescription prices! Build a beautiful wall!
No surprise. I think it’s time they were cut off.
They’ve clearly had enough.
@Brian Wurch glad you know his name is above your voice.
@David Hollenshead https://youtu.be/xHmyKksPois why dont Democrats ever talk about this during all this Russia stuff?
@Brian Wurch So in your opinion patriots are crooks, and crooks are patriots. OK, while you are at it add to your list of dirty cops and officials the names of Fiona Hill, Bill Taylor, Ambassador Yovanovich, Lt Cl Vindman, etc. And include in your team of American patriots Rudy Giuliani, Lev Farnas, Igor Fruman, Andrei Kukushkin… I could go on.
This is a dystopian nightmare made flesh.
@BeBop Aloola though I don’t like my degree due to current Republicans saying facts don’t matter, I’m an economist. It’s sad that their version of success is the past 6 months of 2% GDP growth, with well over a trillion dollars spent to support a failing economy. In the past 90 years, every Republican President has crashed the economy. Some like Reagan, Hoover and W Bush crashed it multiple times. Yet Obama, Clinton and FDR all had the longest periods of sustained economic growth in our history. There are reliable Republican Recessions or there are multiple democrats succeeding economically, it’s not much of a choice to me, especially when Republicans keep claiming a growing income inequality is a positive under them…
ChannelSurfer 2020 I am an Australian and this is terrifying to me!

@macgeek2004 Trump made deep tax cuts for the rich that don’t expire, yet the rest of us actually have our taxes increase after 2024…
@macgeek2004,
I don’t think you know the difference between a deficit and a debt
the less people know the more stubborn they are about knowing it.
Russians have a cynical expression for people like that: useful idiots.
That’s how Trump sees Americans
@George Washington I think your question would be better served if you posed it to Trump, Giuliani, Manafort, Tillerson, Sondland, etc rather than the average American patriot. These men had their own specific, personal & financial reasons for getting involved so intricately with Putin. And, unfortunately for most Americans, he knew which strings he had to pull in order to make Trump and his colleagues follow him along wittingly & willingly.
GOP: band of useful idiots & compromised fools.
@irish buck @Crystal Gibbons Wow. You guys have no limits to your malice, small- mindedness, simplicity and cruelty. Way to forgo focusing on the main issues, i.e., the enormous threat to our national security & judge a woman’s appearance. Shameful, but above your head.
OK tell me what they did.
The amount of Russian bots has greatly increased since the Hearings started-Russian Election Interference NEVER STOPPED.
@George Washington How is the weather in St. Petersburg, Ivan ???
I agree, so many Russian bot farms .. activity has really picked up!
Isn’t it that Putin publicly stated that he did not like Hilary which is why he helped Trump to win in the 2016 elections. So, it was him who interfered the 2016 elections.
EXACTLY. I’ve been saying that for years.
@Kip McEwen not true…7 of trumps high level workers in the election are in prison and Mueller got almost 100 million dollars in fines from Manafort and other. so a lot has changed. be well.
It has already been amply proven–by *all* the U.S. intel agencies and by the Mueller Report–that it was Russia, not Ukraine, that meddled in the election.
Long story short: Putin installed his puppet in the White House and it is paying off *BIGLY!*
30 % of American Voters put the Trump Mafia working for the Russians in power thanks to the electoral college anti democratic tool for electing the US President
@Greg M I’ve been to Moscow and felt more sfe there than in Detroit. People are people and I refuse to join in the xenophobic left wing war mongering
@George Washington sure Georgie Boy, as soon as you tell us what exactly tRump did to improve the economy and military.
Devin Nunes is just another Russian stooge.
I want to see Nunes trial televised. Especially his face as he is sentenced for treason.
@George Washington Nunes would have been briefed by US intelligence of the perpetrated acts by Russia, yet he continues to rail that Ukraine interfered. Either Nunes is a Russian sympathizer or doesn’t believe in the very government he represents. Either way he has no business representing this country in Congress.
He already looks like a scared weasel.
@robearl1983 It’s a little different when you live there and aren’t protected by the US government.
@Angela Siegfried when did the left turn into the George Bush Republicans?
I guess Jordan, Nunes, and others didn’t get the memo.
traitor enablers. all of them.
They probably got the memo, but refused to read it like the impeachment hearing transcript, because it doesn’t support their “fake reality”.
Dr. Hill is the smartest person in the room.
“Red Dev” and “Moscow Mitch”. Ronnie Reagan must be turning in his grave.
today’s russia isnt’t the same as 1940-80’s russia. Todays russia is facist. Just like today’s trump USA. Communists have nothing to do in this. I dspise communist by facist his the complete opposite of communist. get your facts straight.
Fiona Hill is our generation’s Doc Holliday. Impeachment didn’t see her coming.
Are you referencing to the character in Generator Rex? (a Cartoon Network Show)
