Extremely excellent wolf picture and commentary—I think it fits a lot of Freepers out there.

Thank you.

It doesn’t take the Russians to do that. We already know that the Democrats will do anything at all in order to win. Even dead people vote.

Long before anyone thought Russia and/or Putin were screwing with our elections, I was calling our present system a farce.

This is a post from early 2012...I can’t be bothered searching for earlier posts though I know there are many

Projection.

IMO, the last 2 elections were rigged to get 0vomit elected. He was close enough that a little tinkering in a few key places was enough to put him over the line. This year, they are aware that it will require MASSIVE fraud to get Hitlery elected. They are scrambling for a way to do this.

One of the best ways to explain away their massive fraud programs, in the event they are uncovered, is to pre-blame the Russians.

Isn’t it great? The media acts like Hillary’s already won. But just read these comments.

I am so happy. I am ok fighting political ideologies. I’m ok with even an honest commie like Sanders. His ideas against ours, that is a fair fight. But to live in a place where people PREFER a criminal malignant narcissist with serious brain damage who has caused more deaths than Zika — I’ve been so scared about this country. The anti Clinton posts, some from Dems, are giving me hope.

As long as they don’t have any intent they should be ok.

The Kremlin’s intent may not be to sway the election in one direction or another, officials said, but to cause chaos . . . .

It's already been done. Eight years ago. The Islamists did it.

Sunni Cleric: Allah Will Send an 'American Gorbachev' to End the American Empire Soon

We say that Allah willing, within 10 to 12 years, America will collapse. This won't happen as a result of war. Not at all. Allah will send to America an American Gorbachev, from within. Gorbachev, who brought about the USSR collapse, was one of them. Everybody knows this story. An American Gorbachev will surface in America, and he will destroy this empire.

So it’s gone from a “vast right wing conspiracy” to a Russian conspiracy.
Kind of reminds me of Presidentes to the south, brazil, venezuela etc always blaming another government for something, usually something imaginary.

God, I hope I’m just being paranoid.

I see all this Russian interference crap being just the lead in to the DHS taking control of vote counting/adjusting.

1. Create a bogeyman (Russia, Wikileaks,etc)
2. MSM creates a demand that govt protects us
3. DHS deems vote counting to be a “Critica Infrastructure””
4. Perhaps the most important States Right, management of the election process, is usurped by the Democratic Party.
5. Democrats reinstitute slavery in the USA

Yes...and I wonder what, if anything Mcconnell and Ryan are going to do to protect us? If they let this Elections Hijack happen....what do we have left

"Protect us?" They are complicit in what may be coming.

"What do we have left?" We have God; our 1st and 2nd Amendments; and hopefully enough freedom-loving people with a metaphorical pitchfork mentality who can stop watching Kardashian long enough to hit the streets like the Venezualans did last week. We have ... What? 62 days?

Any federal takeover would be at the last minute to minimize time for an effective response from the peon public. Remember, by then the UN will have control of the Internet, assuming that goes to plan. (Julian Assange, the time is now, not October. What impact would it have if no Americans can read it?)

But if we do nothing between now and a week before Nov 8th, and then BHO creates a crisis, it becomes complex. The UniParty will help them steal this election and "install" their hand-picked SC Justices. At that point, all bets are off.

It's up to you youngsters, now. I wish I had hope that the millenials will be willing to stop it like we would have when we were younger, but based on the dumbed-down young people I see today... .

The Uniparty has figured out the Trump landslide is coming. They're trying to determine what path to take to prevent it, thus the "Russian Boogeyman" trial balloons. Fasten your seat belts and pray for Divine Guidance and Donald Trump's safety

Buck Sexton and John Schindler have their heads up Hillary’s butt.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sexton, “former” CIA and Schindler a “former” spook too...charming. They might as well just just move the Golden EIB Microphone to Langley’s Domestic Operations Bureau Media Desk.

China is the premier player in hacking anyone and everyone. In fact, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if some of the lefty companies like Google who help China censor what the Chinese people see don't let the Chinese government know about any vulnerabilities they find while continuously creeping around the web.

Just so the Chinese can help others fix those vulnerabilities, of course.

If a government player hacked the DNC, I'd bet on it being China although I consider it a long shot since it seems to me they recently buried the guy the DNC hit squad figures leaked the stuff to Wikileaks.

Why not investigate attorneys in robes striking down voter-id laws?
