Team Trump: We're the true target of Obamas sanctions
Source: Politico
President Barack Obama said Thursday that the sanctions announced against Russia were a response to the Kremlins aggressive harassment of U.S. officials and cyber operations aimed at the U.S. election. But Republican allies of the incoming administration say those sanctions have another target: Donald Trump.
I will tell you that even those who are sympathetic to President Obama on most issues are saying that part of the reason he did this today was to quote box in President-elect Trump, incoming counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway said Thursday night on CNN. That would be very unfortunate if politics were the motivating factor here. We cant help but think thats often true.
Conway was just one of multiple Trump allies to attack the presidents package of sanctions, announced Thursday afternoon. The president-elect and his team have thus far been unwilling to concede what all 17 U.S. federal intelligence agencies announced last fall, that Russia was behind the wave of cyberattacks that shook up the presidential election by releasing hacked email messages from the Democratic National Committee and other prominent Democratic figures. Instead, Trump has said the attacks could have been performed by Russia or China or somebody sitting in a bed someplace.
And the president-elect has taken particular objection to the assessment of the FBI and CIA, which were reported in the media but not released publicly, that the Russian governments cyber efforts were intended not just to undermine the U.S. electoral process but specifically to help install Trump as the next president.

I hope all these Trump folks realize that Russia can and probably has hacked them, and will use that information to blackmail them if the opportunity should arise.

(7,632 posts)So what. He does not owe anything to another politician, he works for the American people. He does not have to answer to, nor perform his duties with even a remote concern to please Donald Trump, before his obligation to the American people. More fuckin' racist, "typical angry-Negro" talk from the Trump knights and comrades.
The American people (Trump traitors excluded) agree with Obama's presidential actions. So when the new guy starts January 20, I expect him to also work for ME and not another politician's tender feelings.
Trump and his devotees need to hide in their "safe spaces" until January 20th, and let the adults handle matters of importance to USA security.
For Gawd's sake, he announced yesterday he was on vacation until next week and can't be bothered to receive an official Intelligence report or informal briefing. He just DOESN'T CARE, but does he have to be so lazy he employs surrogates to fake that for him, too?

(27,551 posts)This is your newly elected fascist republican in congress /senate and he want to sell you his scam of you being the blame
'
'and using words like Vouchers--------------Medicare, you get 4,500.00 for a cardiac arrest bill, or black lung, then file for bankruptcy, if you didn't die
and using words like Privatize------------Social Security,
I get a monthly SS paycheck of lets say 2000.00 a month to live off of, and then have 1,000 dollars in retirement, this means that you make 36,000 a year to live off the two incomes, but they want me to give to a bank, because they say the program is going broke, because these fascists think that anyone paying over presently $118,500.01 doesn't not have to pay into social security,, so they want to give it to a wall street firm, to have it placed on bets and fees on your dime that you paid that is guaranteed to be protected by our government, so they The fascists republicans go around a whining that's its going broke, well yeah when you have some orange pig fuck making billions on scamming people and beckoning the fascist president, he pays for the first $118,500.00 , but when he makes the extra one cent he doesn't have to pay anymore, but us slobs that don;t make that means test we support him and the fucking horse he rides on fucking me and you and everyone else that gets in ear shot of the sexual serial predator.
My social security and retirement benefits give me $36,000 a year to live off of, from a salary of making over 85,000 a year when I worked in Aviation---------------------it nice, but why would I want to let some greedy bastard sitting in bank thinking that he is going to charge me fees, and wherever he / she will do with that money, I don't want that, I am safe doing what i do with my money, and if I live for another 0 to 20 years I get over $250,000 dollars of the money that I paid into those programs, and my democratic 1936 program (Francis Perkins) promised me that it would not be interfered with by banks and other scammers
and using words like Privatize again--------------VA benefits
because republicans ( fascist) don't like you
Is this want you wanted when you kept these people in power to hurt you???????" ME Thinks not
This party had better go on the offense NOW and start getting assess to billboards in each district informing the masses out here that this what is happening and the republican fascists are behind the fraud to deceive just these three program's, and have every republican at his district office asked those questions , and have it on record and then go back to the home district and again confront the asshole and really pin his ears back on his head, just that human beings have given him a warning, and that billboard is going to expand his deceit and deception of the fascists fraud he is spewing out of his mouth, and show that record and he/ she if they stand behind with the jar of KY jelly in there hand and name on it, they want to play dirty, its time to get back in there face, they have no mercy neither shall we, we are progressives and proud of it, no quarter, shall be give.
Are you going to vote to cut VA BENEFITS____________yes or NO
Are you going to means test Social Security --------------to cut funds .................YES or NO
Are you going to gut and cut Medicare ...........................Yes or NO
Are you a friend of gerrymandering districts based on Race.........Yes or NO
And put the responses on Billboards--------we know who the fascists republicans are and they need to be exposed out on the open space of a BILLBOARD
Or we can all go to the nearest wall and do this , because right now as we speak Tammy Duckworth along with 23 other senate democrats are in the bulls eyes is in the bulls eye of the Koch brothers , and the billionaire Diana Hendricks /Devos, they have already pledged 6 million to take her down
And we have got to get behind them and protect there backs, and fight fire with fire---------------its are principles and we need to fight for those principles
