You know who has meddled in our elections....The Brits, especially against Isolationist candidates before the two World Wars.
....”I believe the Russians have “meddled” for the past 100 years. It’s what they and many/most other nations do. Garbage poll.”....
Yep! But the rules only apply to Russia it appears.
The US intervention in Serbia, Yugoslavia in the 2000 election there.........in Iran in 1953.... in Guatemala in 1954,in Syria, Egypt, Ukraine, Georgia, Iraq etc. etc. etc.
Nearly half of Republicans doubt Russia meddled: Poll
Someone needs to explain “Russian Meddling” and just how it affected the election.
Russia, among numerous other countries, Israel and China, Mexico for examples, have been meddling in our elections for decades. As for 2016, the only thing that I’ve seen is that starting in 2014, Russians spent money on facebook ads, supporting Trump, Clinton, Sanders, Stein, and Rubio among others. From what I’ve seen of the ads, they were poorly done, and totally ineffective. They most likely also funneled money to various groups supporting various candidates, but again, ineffectively and poorly executed.
Not only that, the USA meddles in the elections of other countries too.
Bay of pigs was just meddling too.
Still waiting for the definition of “meddled,” not to mention the proof.
I maintain that Trump should call their bluff and get them to vote on formally declaring war on Russia
What is “meddled”? Under the definition of whatever vague idea the reader might have, most countries fall into the category of meddlers. Germany letting candidate Obola have a rally in Berlin is meddling. Letting Obola and Pantsuit Fiona have unlimited foreign money is meddling. Rats trying to get the Soviet Union to work against candidate Reagan is meddling. Mexico sending legions of illegals into the US is meddling. Etc, Etc.
Some meddling as listed avoid is solicited by candidates, other meddling is self-interest on the part of foreign governments.
I’m guessing “55 percent of poll respondents” couldn’t find Russia on a map and don’t know the name of the person running Russia... (Putin) Send Jesse Watters out to take a sample...
We know Mexicans are illegally voting in our elections.
Of course they meddled, or tried to meddle. They did it on this site before the election to try to influence our opinions about Ukraine. There efforts were laughable.
Jimmy Carter spent his ‘life’ meddling in OTHER elections and bragged about it.
ALSO,
Kind of ‘hypocritical’ to DAMN POLLS as being ‘tilted’ then use Polls to ‘further our own cause’ just because the poll ‘agrees’ with us.
Kind of like the Libs saying “I hate the military but am for the Individual Soldier” kind of double speak.
Russia meddled. The US meddled. China meddled. Germany meddled. England meddled. India meddled. Everyone meddles in everyone else’s government.
The reason I question whether Russia meddled is because our vaunted FBI under Comey et al and Mueller’s investigation never saw the Dem servers but took the word of a third party, Cloud Strike. And, Cloud Strike was hired by the Clintons. In other words, there is no direct evidence, only hearsay provided by, who else, the Dems through Cloud Strike. In a court of law, that would never be allowed in as evidence. And since Mueller relied on the same “evidence” for his indictments of the 12 Russians and then sent the indictments to the “spy” part of the FBI, he knows his supporting “facts” will never be questioned in a court of law or see the light of day.
Exactly.
Define ‘meddle’.
Many Leftists believe the system was corrupted by Russians because they lost to Trump.
Not only meddle, we'll remove the elected candidate if we don't like them, see Mosaddegh, in Iran.
Russia is constantly meddling in our elections.
China is constantly meddling in our elections, as are North Korea and Iran, among others.
We are constantly meddling in the elections of other nations. Espionage is all a big game. Who is not aware of this?
Any nation worth their salt spies on their rivals, been that way since man crawled out of the slime.
Sure didn’t they fund and incite 60s riots?
