[WePurrsevere]

8. Exactly! It's okay if it's Russia helping RepubliCons though. nt

[NYC Liberal]

12. Trying to set up the narrative for when they lose in November.

[Zoonart]

31. Riiiiight...

as oposed to Russia who wants Trump president. The subtext of all of
this for the tRumpers is "Russia is our friend".

[Drahthaardogs]

2. I guess I'm Chinese then. I want a different one too.

Eom.

[SharonClark]

3. Spot on!

[dalton99a]

4. +1

[SammyWinstonJack]

15. Right!

[Iliyah]

5. So do I.

[Zambero]

6. Americans "meddling" in U.S. elections

By registering to vote. By making their voices heard. Wanting a new Congress in 2018. Wanting a new President come 2020. By voting in numbers large enough to hopefully offset voter suppression, ongoing outside interference, and non-stop RW propagandizing. And yes, demanding accountability for the actual meddling in 2016 that got us into the mess we're in.

7. Is obvious that Shitler and the GOP

are inventing a BS reason for the coming midterm beatdown the republicans are going to get in a few weeks.

[SammyWinstonJack]

16. +1000000!

[peekaloo]

9. Vanilla Vice warns of Crazy Witch (hunt) Asians.

Boof him.

[NewJeffCT]

10. taking a page out of the Trump book - accusing with 0 evidence

I'm guessing.

[WhiteTara]

11. Everyone wants a different American President,

but not you Pence.

[Initech]

13. Show us proof or it didn't happen!

Until then, thanks for playing the blame game! We have some lovely parting gifts for you at the door!

[Wounded Bear]

14. Proof? That's so last Century...

All they need is their Faux Noise bullhorn.

[ProfessorGAC]

17. So Do 60% Of Americans, Mikey!

Nobody voted for you. Just go home and watch TV with "mommy".

[greatauntoftriplets]

18. I'm with the Chinese, Mikey!

[peggysue2]

19. The Trumpsters are trying to switch the boogyman

That's not to say China is our very best friend; they're not. But this is simply a deflection to take the heat off Putin's interference, the tainting and disruption of our electoral integrity in 2016. It also provides cover for a Trumpster loss on November 6th.

Pence is a weasel.

[Zambero]

23. Look! Yellow Squirrel!

Ignore that bear! Ignore that turtle! Ignore that orange blob behind the curtain!

[peggysue2]

26. Exactly!

And oh, just in case the Dems have a massive win on November 6th? This will help delegitimize the result.

What's not to love?

Weasels, all of them.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

20. Not that I really trust the Chinese government, but exactly *how* is China "meddling"?

Are they "meddling" simply by pushing back against the tariffs we imposed?

Or are they meddling by co-opting US political candidates to push their agenda, all while also running a hacking operation against those candidates' opponents and also pushing false narratives to gullible rubes over social media?

Because that sort of "meddling" seems very familiar.

[flotsam]

21. How do you say

#MeToo in Mandarin?

[GoCubsGo]

22. Um...Outside of Putin, Kim, and a handful of other autocrats,

the whole goddamn world wants a different American President.

[GemDigger]

28. Lol I just said the same thing.

[MrsCoffee]

24. Everyone wants a different president you dumbass. Except those of you afraid to rot in jail.

25. Never once heard him comment on Russian meddling

Damn these goons are good at obfuscation

[GemDigger]

27. Meddling aside every country on the planet wants us to have a new president with the exception of

Russia, China and North Korea.

[Turbineguy]

29. Well,

what a coincidence!

[Liberal In Texas]

30. Where's the evidence of this?

Just more lies from the RW.

[Squinch]

32. And by the way, the Reichstag is burning.

[duforsure]

33. Sounds like something coming from

Putin . He has done this like this elsewhere in the past in other area's. Just like their talking points, where in another country where he rigged an election and had the candidate saying the same things like" wouldn't it be nice if we could get along with Russia" , and then in another country where he rigged another election and his candidate started calls for them against the previous leader there to "lock her up", sounding familiar? It should, and shows putins reach here using trump , pence , and the gop in Congress now to do his bidding for him. Maybe Kavanaugh was putins pick for the highest court of OURS.

[Iggo]

34. And Russia is interfering in our elections and wants the same president.

What now, Pence?

[KCDebbie]

35. Trump is setting the "groundwork" to de-legitimize

The coming Blue Wave as the machinations of the treacherous Chinese.

If it is possible, this administration may even try to nullify the election results in some districts/states.
