Why is America not outraged at the President-Elect siding with the Russian President over

[malaise]

the current President of the United States?

Where is the fucking outrage America?

No this is not about peaceful transition of power - where is your fucking outrage - or is it race before country? Tell us M$Greedia. Tell us ReTHUGs, tell us.

[Blanks]

1. I'm outraged. Does that help?

[malaise]

11. ABC just led with it

not outrage but a report

[LisaM]

2. Not just Obama, but we, the American citizens.

I have a friend who votes Republican solely on the issue of abortion, I see her about once a year and we basically just don't talk about this.

She just made a Facebook post with an article from something called the Sputnik News, praising Putin for some scheme he's got for inviting US diplomatic kids to a New Year's Eve party, with the headline that he (Putin) is "going high".

I don't even know how to process this.

[malaise]

3. Unbelievable

Shakes head

[kimbutgar]

19. The chef in the Russia embassy was one of those ones owned to leve

He invited the reporters in and gave them champagne. The guy has a 3 year old kid who was there. No chidrens party. It was on my local news here in San Francisco. Funny a innocuous story got embellished by the Reich wing media .

[Phoenix61]

20. If you figure it out

let me know. Unbelievable, just unbelievable.

[still_one]

4. because the media hasn't told them to be

[enough]

5. Yes. NT

[FuzzyRabbit]

24. Agree. The right wing media says Putin is good for the US and

the regular media is either too afraid to report Putin's history of terrorism and assassination, or too ignorant to remember when Putin ran the KGB and more recently when he had political rivals assassinated.

In fact, I'll bet there aren't even 5 reporters on network news TV tonight who even know what the KGB was. Most are too young to remember the Cold War and all are too self absorbed to even care.

Now if it was a Democrat sucking up to Putin like Trump is, you can bet that the right-wing media would be calling for him to be arrested and tried for treason, and our network news would be also. But remember, always, IOKIYAR.

[kacekwl]

6. We are but unfortunately

we don't have a dozen "news" outlets to tell anyone.

[Trust Buster]

7. Apology tours are now in vogue on the Right.

[doc03]

8. Four times more Republicans approve of Putin than Obama nt

[MFM008]

9. I'm so old I remember

When republicans weren't KGB stoolies.

[barbtries]

10. it's riding high at my house.

i don't pay attention to cable news any longer so don't know how it's playing elsewhere.

[Blue Owl]

12. Red Don

n/t

[malaise]

15. DUzy

Nice

[QED]

13. Maybe because it's the holiday season and people aren't paying attention.

Just a guess

[onecaliberal]

14. Those of us with half a brain are plenty outraged.

[mnhtnbb]

16. I've been outraged since Nov. 9th. Republicans are destroying this country

and the dumbfu*k racists and bigots are cheering them on. They have so much
hate for Obama--how dare a blackman occupy the WHITE House as anything other than a servant--
and a woman who would dare to return as anything other than First Lady--that they can't see straight.
They can't see how they are falling for the biggest con in the history of the country.

[smirkymonkey]

17. I am outraged out of my mind.

I still cannot believe this is happening. I am waiting for someone to wake me up from this nightmare.

[a kennedy]

26. hopefully in a couple of years, after The Orange man is impeached or shot by one of his

own brown shirts.

[Initech]

18. Because he has an R next to his name.

If he had a D next to his name, you can bet there would be investigations, hearings, threats, anything you can think of.

[HawkerHurricane]

21. GOP Nihilism.

Half the country believes that anything that upsets Democrats/Liberals is "a good thing", and don't give a damn what it is.

[LaydeeBug]

22. Because our Press is NOT free...it's Russia's.

This fight will happen slowly.

We're in a marathon, people. Not a sprint

[BigDemVoter]

23. 2 words-- Ignorance and stupidity

[a kennedy]

25. I know....WTF is wrong with almost half of this country???

[BumRushDaShow]

27. The entirety of the GOP platform

was thrown under the bus because they made a blood oath to oppose anything that Barack Obama proposed or implemented - even if it was their own policies. Now they are facing the contradictions. But since they own all the media, they have directed that the media may only "report" but not "question", else they will not be given "access". Meanwhile the pro football season is wrapping up and the playoff situation is getting sorted out.

Bread and Circuses.

[librechik]

28. their outrage was always that a black man dared to cast shade

on the White House, so to speak. The hate is so strong they will embrace any one who is against Obama.

It's crazy. They would probably cheer a real Russian invasion, if Obama was killed or humiliated as a result.

These people hate what we call America. And they hate us for trying to bring liberal reform to their confederate vision of a triumphant Southern/Conservative USA.

[brooklynite]

29. Answer: the average person doesn't care one way or the other...

[napi21]

30. I don't knbow why there's not more and LOUDER outrage. I suspect it's because the Con told his

groupies that Vlad is his bud so they think all is OK.

I'm depending on McCain, Graham, and their group to step up the investigation into Russian interference in the US's business. Those guys will keep the pressure on the rest of the slackers, and maybe TEACH them that Russia & Vlad are NOT our buds'. Maybe the others are too young to remember the cold war and what communism really is like!

[melman]

31. lol

Are we supposed to forget you've been endlessly pro-Putin on here?

[Siwsan]

32. This American is beyond outraged.

[tandem5]

33. Who's to say a vast majority are not? We are relying on TV and print media and

social media which all present a skewed snapshot of sentiment. (That's a lot of unintentional s words)

[RKP5637]

34. A good portion of the US population is literally stupid, and I mean really stupid and hence

easily brainwashed. Psychops isn't even necessary they are so damn naive, DUH and lame.

Watching America in action today is watching the downfall of a civilization. And wait until Trump is in office, you ain't seen anything yet, Malaise.

The foundation for much of it is greed, hucksters, charlatans and religious preachers on the take. And too damn many Americas IMO too lazy to even attempt to understand that their country is falling apart. Couple with this racism and bigotry, and its a recipe for ultimate disaster.

[malaise]

36. It is frightening

I can't believe this madness

[Maru Kitteh]

35. Um, because black guy.

And yes, I really do think it's THAT simple.

[malaise]

37. It sure looks that way

[Maru Kitteh]

38. I wish I could come to a different conclusion malaise. I been over it and over it

and it just comes back to the same place. It's gut wrenching.

[Vinca]

39. A good chunk of America has gone back to texting, video games and the next reality show.

They might appear again in 2020 if the event is outrageous enough. They have no idea who Putin is, much less why his involvement in our country is important. Donald J. Trump, their Lord and Savior, will protect them and make them rich, too. That's what it boils down to.
