Iran and Russia Intimidate for Trump

Post by _moksha »

Apparently, Iran and Russia have gotten ahold of American voter registration data and have sent out threatening emails, in the name of the white nationalist group the Proud Boys, to Democrats telling them to vote for Trump. The Trump organization is trying to keep a lid on this since it involves their comrades in Russia and one of their base supporters, the Proud Boys.

It is claimed that Iran's actions are actually meant to hurt Trump.

Yup.

Claimed by a Trump appointee who timed his announcement just at the right moment to distract attention from Obama's big speech that tore the guts out of 'crazy uncle' Trump.

Figures.

I suppose it may be true of Iran's actions. It is particularly hard to imagine why they would have any love for Trump.
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

The problem is that what hurts Trump with people who think is what helps him with his mindless, idiot base.
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

National Intelligence will remain tight-lipped about and try to insinuate that threats to harm voters who do not support Trump, was against Trump. Due to the sheer absurdity of that position, it will be easier for the intelligence community to say nothing and let these incidents continue.

They remain in their trance, unfazed by events, waiting to grab their assault rifles and do their part on Voter Intimidation Day, November 3rd.

Washington (CNN) Russian state-sponsored hackers have targeted state and local governments and in at least two instances have successfully stolen data, US national security officials said Thursday, one day after the top US intelligence officials said Russia and Iran obtained voter registration information.

Iran was sanctioned but not Russia.
