Russia benefits from stirring up controversy about U.S. energy production.

It's nice to see that the Russians are getting their money's worth out of Trump and company.

Crazy shit like this didn't happen under Obama or any other President that proceeded him.

A Repug chairs this...so where's the GOP uproar? ZZZZZZzzzzz

He's let the Russians run amok through our government.

1. Oh, FFS! WHAT IS THE COMMON DENOMINATOR ON ALL THESE THINGS????

It is way past time to boycott social media platforms until they figure out a way to stop this.

To all who say they can't live without Facebook or Twitter, or who say that everyone ELSE won't do it, so they won't try, you need to start to realize that your easy access to that kid who sat behind you in high school algebra is costing us our Democracy, and NOW our economy!

It'll take a month. Everyone take a break and force Facebook and Twitter to stop this shit.

2. One more Federal agency officially condemns Russian interference...

But, like Climate Change, Repugnants will just pretend it isn't happening.

3. Yep

The GOP has sold their souls to an Orange man, apparently the Russians now for sure; the devil must be jealous.

4. I have said from the beginning that I think the Russian/Trump nexus is about oil

somehow about oil.

Russia can't make it without German potatoes, and they want to trade their oil for the food they used to get from their Eastern European satellites.

OK. I'm oversimplifying and exaggerating --- but not all that much.
