Trump and Putin Trigger Entire Galaxy
There are so many silly things to share tonight, that I really don’t know where to begin. It’s like waking up at a nudist colony reincarnated as a mosquito…Since I’m such an expert, I thought I would just post all the things you need to know today regarding Russia, Trump, hacking and the end of the world. And because I’m lazy, this will be done mostly with tweets.
UPDATE (12/31 4:52PM) McCain calls ‘it’ an “ACT OF WAR!”
Washington Post posts story claiming Russians hack U.S. electric grid. Have to retract.
WashPost now has Editors Note acknowledging its key claim was false – more here https://t.co/XlP3FFpT2b – remember other Russia Editors Note pic.twitter.com/5MVdwQX78i

Democrats and McCain act all tough!
Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy issued a statement warning: “This is beyond hackers having electronic joy rides — this is now about trying to access utilities to potentially manipulate the grid and shut it down in the middle of winter. That is a direct threat to Vermont and we do not take it lightly.”
Editor’s Note: An earlier version of this story incorrectly said that Russian hackers had penetrated the U.S. electric grid. Authorities say there is no indication of that so far.
All the alarmist tough-guy statements issued by politicians who believed the Post’s claim were based on fiction. https://t.co/5NuwDlU3Ba

First up. IT’S WARRRRRR!
*Seriously, watch at least 5 seconds of this batshit crazy video!

Yeah, so Trump—hilariously, in my view—decided to tweet praise of Vladimir Putin on a day when the entire MSM apparatus, DNC and McCain/Lindsey/P. Ryan (is there any distinction between these losers?) were trying their darndest to get the Cold War going again. Predictable result ensues…like elite academics calling for the assassination of President-elect Trump. You know, since it’s literally “WAR” and “TREASON.” Treason, remember, is punishable by death.

Yesterday, if you didn’t know, President Obama announced unprecedented new sanctions against Russian assets and Russian officials (kicking numerous Russian diplomats out of the U.S.).
Putin didn’t take the bait.

Let’s not forget, earlier today, Russia invited the children of U.S. diplomats to the Kremlin…

Also earlier today, our Russian traitor/friend, Snowden tweeted out some articles skeptical of CIA/FBI claims of Russian hacking. Click on the attached images or find links here.

This is a must read on the whole situation by Michael Tracey, former Bernie Sanders supporter. I may not agree with him, but he’s totally red-pilled.
If Putin really is responsible for “hacking” Podesta/the DNC, maybe we should thank him for the service he provided https://t.co/3Vr9IJY3eW

Absent the “hacking”
1) No proof of collusion against Sanders
2) No HRC speech transcripts
3) No Clinton Foundation revelations#ThanksPutin— Michael Tracey (@mtracey) December 30, 2016
And here’s a narrated video of another Tracey article. If you only have limited time, please read the link posted above first:

Back to the RED SCARE 2.0!
Almost none of the frantic reporting over the past 24 hours has mentioned that *no new evidence has been presented* https://t.co/YhWEp3L6Fh

Lot’s of nutty things come out of Rolling Stone, but there are exceptions. Something about Rock n’ Roll being anti-establishment still, sometimes, rings true.

Why now, you ask?
So why did the US Govt. allow these Russian “spy nests” to operate unimpeded for several decades until… yesterday? https://t.co/aKaOU1OVx7 pic.twitter.com/fKTR1EspPV

I must say, there’s something delicious about supposedly peace-loving Democrats yearning for war with Russia over alleged hacking! Remember, there is still no actual evidence being presented.
Imagine there’s no countries
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people…Goes to war w/ Russia over #FakeNews— iroots.org activism (@irootsorg) December 30, 2016

Thanks to #FakeNews like this 50% of Clinton voters now believe Russia hacked actual voting totals. https://t.co/54HLUfyBcz pic.twitter.com/gRG82GXzra

Update on the triggered academic lady:
Woman who implied a call for Trump to be assassinated(?) “Will no one stop this traitor?” goes dark.

Various out of context tweets. You may need to click on the (date of the) tweet to see replies for better context:
it’s worse than that. If you question adequacy of the evidence or want to see more, they’ll accuse you of disloyalty & being a Russian agent https://t.co/UybU2QcIAz
