Well Siberia has hot chicks like these (DHQ Fraules), and NO Democrats.

oh shit, EYE CANDY. I'm getting a cavity:)

take one on far right, for starters:D
 
You will recall I mentioned "sources and methods" in an earlier post.

I recall, yes. Code words for "we have no direct evidence, but a narrative we need to enforce."

But until then, I would be inclined to be more receptive to the conclusions drawn by the agencies of my own country than those of the allegedly offending one.

Great. When the Canadian intelligence agencies - assuming there are such agencies up there - have evidence, you can cast your support. I, however, doubt the political appointees inside my country's intelligence agencies, as they have shown their willingness in the past to push false narratives to further a political agenda. Until I see proof otherwise, this is my belief.

Bottom line: I would not be so hostile towards my own government and its agencies at a time when the country needs to unite against a potentially malicious outside force allegedly threatening the very fabric of its democracy.

Except when that government is republican, I'm sure.

Rather than being defensive, thinking that someone is trying to undermine and delegitimize Trump's victory, you guys really should look at the big picture. Did someone try to alter the course of the election? If so, that's some serious shit. But even if it is proven that this was the intent, there is no way to determine how it may have affected the outcome. So I don't see how Trump's victory is at risk. You guys need to get over yourselves.

It's serious, if it happened. If it's proven, then you and I are 100% in agreement.

"Rep. Franks: Sanctions Based on 'Leaks,' Obama Acting 'Hypocritically'"

"Congress has not yet been briefed on whether Russia interfered in the presidential election, and it's a "little premature" to come to conclusions that lead to President Barack Obama's sanctions against Russia, Rep. Trent Franks said Thursday, and he finds it hypocritical that Obama is making such accusations.

"What we're hearing is information leaked from the intelligence community, primarily from the Barack Obama administration apparatus," the Arizona Republican, a member of the House Armed Services Committee, told MSNBC Thursday afternoon. "So, to come to these kind of conclusions at this point, I think, is a little premature to say the least."

What's more, Franks said, is that if Russia leaked information about the election without actually becoming involved in the battles, then it was merely doing what the media should have done.

"My staff informs me that none of the relevant intelligence committees have been directly or officially informed on it," Franks said. "Now, perhaps, that's incorrect information. If it is, I'll correct it. But the truth is, and I think your own station sources would admit, that most of what we're talking about now is based on leaks."...

..."And, the Arizona congressman said he's all for doing what is necessary to protect the election, but there is "no suggestion that Russia hacked into the nation's voting systems."...

..."If anything, whatever they might have done, was to try to use information in a way that may have affected something that they believe was in their best interest," said Franks. "But the bottom line is, if they succeeded, if Russia succeeded in giving the American people information that was accurate, then they merely did what the media should have done."

Also, Franks said he has to question why Obama would complain about other countries being involved in the United States election, when he "sent his own campaign team to Israel to defeat [Prime Minister] Benjamin Netanyahu in his election."


..."Franks pointed out that he's said many times he believes Russian President Vladimir Putin is a "KGB thug, and any interference in the nation's elections or anything that is outside the interest of America should be met with an appropriate response, and I believe that with all of my heart."

However, he said where Obama is concerned, "I just see the incredible hypocrisy in this attack," and he believes the administration believes that attacking Russia will change the election.

"They're really trying to delegitimize the election itself," said Franks. "That's the main motivation here. And I think it's just unfortunate that this president forgets that most of these emails came from WikiLeaks, who claimed they got them from disgruntled DNC staffers."

As far as Russia's involvement, he continued, "The bottom line is no one knows for sure, and I think we should at least get the facts before we start just going off of leaks that are occurring."

Franks insisted that he is not suggesting not to trust the nation's intelligence community, but he is "convinced at this point that it's too easily twisted."...
