The Justice Department and federal court system have disclosed they were compromised as part of a massive breach of federal government agencies that U.S. officials have linked to Russia.

I feel we all have to watch each others back in these dangerous times.

Doesn't matter what wing of the party one is in (and even those few realistic and true patriotic rethugs like TLP), these times require all sane patriots to come together.

The enemy is in the gates and we gotta crush them. The time for internal differences can come later after the danger has lessoned.

In the Oval Office, President Trump gestures to Russia's ambassador to the U.S., Sergey Kislyak, as he speaks to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Wednesday, May 10, 2017. (Alexander Shcherbak/TASS/Getty Images)

“I just fired the head of the FBI. He was crazy, a real nut job," Trump said, according to The Times. "I faced great pressure because of Russia. That's taken off.”



"I'm not under investigation," he added.

must direct the FBI to destroy these domestic terrorist groups. Trump's FBI took a hands off approach, and Trump himself emboldened these groups. Of course they think they have carte blanche in this country to carry out their ersatz "missions" to destroy the government. Destroy whatever Trump himself hasn't already destroyed, that is.

And protect these and many other businesses from these extremist fascist groups. Congress needs to be exposed where they are with this now, and oust the biggest threat sitting in the WH. I trust anything Mr Nance says, and he's been right all along. I've also worried about trump and putin are plotting to cyber attack our infrastructure groups, Power and water plants, banking, energy companies, and others to use to cripple us with, then take over.

Qanon has targeted big tech from the outset.

Putin knows the tech companies are the only real line of defense the West has. Destroy them, kill the experts, compromise the servers and infrastructure, and he will have free reign to wreck havoc on the Global Economy.

Social media is a two edged sword. We need it to monitor the crazies, but they use it to try and co-ordinate their actions on a Global scale.

Honestly, I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop in the UK and EU.

Being part of a conspiracy vastly increases the penalties. The Garland DOJ must form conspiracy cases against as many who stormed the Capitol as they can. Same with anyone involved in these plots. Once they see some of their buddies going way for 20 years without parole....most of these clowns will start to chill out.

Make no mistake—Republicans, with the help of our enemies, have done this to all of us. It boggles the mind so many of our fellow citizens could be such traitors, yet they are. Wednesday’s assault on our capitol (where the entire line of succession of our government were trapped and open laptops and computers were open, and vulnerable to cyber attack) was just the opening salvo. This is far from over and it’s horrifying! To those who voted for Trump, yes, he has certainly shaken thing up! Thank you GOP!

Letting Nixon, then Reagan off the hook for their crimes paved the way for Bush and Cheney, who paved the way for Trump.

is not just blustering. These people are traitors, seditionists, seeking to destroy communications networks and media companies. They seek to kill people with whom they disagree and are almost eagerly willing to accept, as collateral damage, the deaths of thousands if not millions of bystanders. These are the, collectively, the resurrected spirit from hell of Timothy McVeigh, the child murderer, and need to be tracked closely and arrested when the evidence presents itself.

Trials, of course, will stretch on and on. But that’s our process. Even McVeigh, their patron saint in murder and blood feast, had his day in court.

But during the campaign, I noticed that the few houses in these parts that had Trump banners (I saw none in 2016!) also had those signs that said "back the blue."

And don't get me started on Elise Stefanik! Since embarrassing herself by appearing on national television with Gym Jordan during the impeachment hearings, she's become full-blown Trump and in her campaign ads this time around, she was surrounded by uniformed police officers - all giving a "thumbs up!"

to make important people aware of this brewing coup attempt for months. Stephanie Miller has had him on her radio show countless times and he kept warning that trump was cooking up something but apparently to no avail. Wednesday cinched it for me. Obviously the messenger was ignored. 5 people died. Many injured. Very few arrested(so far). And trump still looking for a media platform he can use to keep shitting on decent people. The man is a mess. Now what he and his doctors have been hiding about his mental leading state for years is out in the open and he is the leader of a full blown insurgency that threatens our democracy down to its very foundation. Hardball people! That's the only thing these insurrectionists will understand about our resolve. In the coming month. Yes. HARDBALL.
