The impression they seem to give is that we are without shields or options. That's just clap-trap man.
Same same w the ICBMs from N Korea...we have defenses. We've had both of them for years. Why are we being handled like we are completely at russia and dt's mercy?
If we are going to be attacked, I for one am not anxious to sit back and just take it. This is bullshit and we are being lulled into a sense of helplessness. putin doesn't hold all the cards.

From November 18th 2016.

If so, then I say no, he won't. It's too damaging to lay that bone bare.

Like I said in the linked post, we were the supposed leader of the free world. Something like that will not be allowed to be admitted to by anyone of authority. History may tell a different tale, but for now it will be a thing people whisper about or allude to in a very general fashion.

Funny thing is, I had people tell me here I was being too gloom and doom in my predictions as to how horrific Trump would be for us, and for the rest of the world. Now I look back at some of my posts and realize I was actually an optimist compared to reality.

My "go to" people in television news are Rachel Maddow, Lawrence O'Donnell, and Chris Hayes. I don't see them shying away from speaking the truth. I try not to miss them.

And please don't tell me that everything that Russia did did not effect the vote.
Because why would Russia launch > 100,000 cyber attacks if those attacks had
no effect?
