40. Schumer ...

Better start talking about the situation NEXT year concerning all of the voter-suppression on 'roids and ruskie involvement they'll BE in the 2018 mid-terms. And you're right: The ruskies did meddle, and we still don't know to what extent. We may not find out until YEARS from now. Updates about ruskie interference comes out almost every other week showing that their interference into our elections was far wider than we thought just a few months ago. Nance, Brennen, Comey, Watts Jeh Johnson and our Intelligence agencies guarantee that they'll be back, only this time we KNOW it'll be with new and improved tactics and dirty tricks that might extend over into more blue Dem strongholds than the ones that were compromised in 2016 (PA., MI., WI.). Those asses haven't ever stopped meddling--they're still doing what they do--sewing the seeds of divisiveness, spreading lies, have their bots all over the internet spreading propaganda etc., so we know they've been working on their NEXT encore into our elections where it concerns out antiquated, vulnerable voting apparatus. ruskie mission: gearing up for 2018. Where are the Dems on this?

Mr. Schumer: How in HELL will we be able to vote thuglicans out if our votes don't count? 2018 is not that far away, and we won't have enough time to fix all of the voting disasters that we have been warned about lay ahead for 2018. THIS woefully staffed Dept. of Homeland inSecurity isn't going to do jack squat to make sure Dems have an even playing field when voting, and they're sure not going to stop ruskie meddling. They're not contacting anyone to check on the viability of voting machines that I've heard. But of course they wouldn't anyway. We know that racist, big-eared beauguard doesn't CARE if Dems/minorities have the right to vote. We know putin's puppet makes up shit as he goes along. Now, it's Pres. Obama's fault for not stopping the ruskies from helping his fat ass win the presidency Then the next day, it's but the russhier thing is a hoax, and that's why I fired Comey (Mueller heard/saw him). Now he's going to give the ruskies back their compounds that were seized because they were jack asses for meddling in our elections. We know he has to give them back, or else. I'm sure the fat, nasty, mentally-deteriorating one will be blaming Pres. Obama and Hillary or which ever Dem for almost everyone around him, his weak-chined family, people in his inner circle (Lock him up Misha, Manaford) for having ties up to their eyeballs with the ruskies, because as we remember, he blamed Pres. Obama for Lock me up Misha's firing, because Misha was a treasonous asshole that Pres. Obama told fatso to NOT hire Yeah, it's Pres. Obama's fault that Crooked Kushner was back channeling the ruskies

Back to my original point: Schumer's talking about not blaming anybody for our loses. He has the right to his opinion. However, what we also KNOW is that thuglicans cross-checked, voter purged, and voter Id's dems OFF of voter rolls in 3 key states: PA, WI, MI. FACT. tRumputin won those states he had to win by 1%. FACT. We also know that the ruskies interfered in our elections, and that they'll be BACK say our Intelligence agencies: FACT. NO Dem, not even Bernie would have won THAT kind of rigged, meddled in by russia, voter-suppressed election. thuglicans like that rotten POS McConnell KNEW what was happening, and he wanted it to happen. He and thuglicans got what they wanted. AGAIN.

Dems better step up and start really talking about this. It's bad enough that it doesn't appear that they'll be enough time to FIX this voting situation before 2018, because we have a hostile, treasonous government installed right over HERE in the United States of America, and it's called the GOP and they have a useful idiot they're holding onto named tRump. The ring-leader resides over in russia. I mean damn, we're not calling the shots in our OWN country. And most Dems CONTINUE to play "nice" with that vile, evil, rotten, treasonous party who gives another crazy, authoritarian, strongman autonomy over US fro GD russia.

Lord have mercy, Jesus.
