While Trump Makes Nice With Putin, US Intel Readies For Moscow's 2020 Attack | The 11th Hour | MSNBC

If it wasn't for Moscow Mitch we could rest easier.

[jVorensky]

Know, we must fight for our Democracy. Moscow Mitch McConnell resign now!

[razor]

The term "kompromat" applies more to Trump than any other person in history.

[MonsterMeatMarcus]

putin’s got a strong grip on trumps love handles

[ruthdepew]

Trump is working so hard to give Russia the keys to the American 2020 election. He's just not quite there yet.

[clive]

And this traitor is just shaking hands with the "Enemy."

[giovannisoave]

Trump: I want to reward Russia for interfering in the US election.
25th?

[b.r.c]

Easy to solve the hacking problem, vote on paper!

[IAmSuzyQ]

Moscow-Mitch has 3 election security bills that he refuses to bring for a vote. I guess as long as the election interference aims to benefit his party, the Republicans, it's no big deal. 🤷🏼‍♀️
Well, I'm a Republican and I think it's a big deal; truly proud Americans, who love and respect our country, will always put country over party! Parties may come and go, presidents come and go, but America is here to stay. She is here for us, shouldn't we keep her safe?

[TheMartinCaesar]

Sounds like altering the vote. Like last time.

[danozomatli]

Chump will never be a real man, much less a world leader!! Lmfao

[DragonFae]

Btw, no-one who has ever been bankrupt should be allowed to enter politics - EVER. Change your laws on candidates America and get the right person as President and make sure they show their taxes when they become a candidate for any office.

[chrisdurgin]

Pen and paper and start counting
A week later we will know who won
Old school it works

[rgwak]

Every time I see t'rump defend Putin, I look at my dog and think, "why can't you be that loyal?"
Just kidding. Prof Blasey is a good dog. Yes you are! 🐶

[olrikparlez]

Ethics??? Duhhh...what's that? Some kinda democratic inconvenience that you squish under a jackboot? [overheard all too often in hardcore republican circles]

[jamesdunn]

Moscow Mitch and Moscow Trump, two peas in the Russian pod.

[trinaholman]

Down here (Australia) we are required to vote or face a fine. Every citizen of voting age is on the rolls. We use paper ballots. This trick of the Russians will not work here, tg.

[kineticdeath]

heres my suggestion. If theres a cyber attack on the election systems so severe that it invalidates and election, the current incumbent government should be disbanded immediately for failing to uphold its duties to protect the US and its citizens. Charges should then be brought against those who most compromised the situation. An example could be by doing things like, failing to bring election/voter protection bills to vote

[pierremariecordier]

- Trump : « OK, we do as we agreed ! »
- Putin : « Agreed is not the term buddy. As you have no choice I should say ! »

[tzvikrasner]

Why do I feel like they'll only offer this protection to certain districts and completely ignore others?
