then explain to me this, now there's a republican president, congress and senate, if they're so sure the democratic party did something so illegal, then why don't they open an investigation right now?, cause they know there's nothing there that the republican party hasn't done already.

Not saying they did anything illegal. Not sure how a witch hunt on the opposing party would help the current situation anyways. Just stating what the "hack" was.

In short: Some Russians may have trolled social media during the 2016 presidential race. Is that about the gist of it?
The only possible way that's what you get from that is if you didn't read it at all. Trump campaign managers being indicted left and right for direct communications with Russian oligarchs and their proxies has nothing to do with social media trolls.

Well. It does, just indirectly

True, the scope of this is massive. Social media, state election systems being hacked, money being funneled from Russia to the NRA to Trump's campaign, money laundering through real estate, the list goes on and on. Reducing it to just one thing is a lie of omission. This about sums it up:

Oh, well there are a lot of factors involved in that. Probably a very small portion is actually due to the tax cut. Over a trillion dollars has been added to the US debt since Trump took office, all money that could've gone to crumbling infrastructure, or education/tuition costs, or water purity in the US, but not a cent did.
You have a point there. Bush added like, 10 trillion to the debt, then obama did i think 8 trillion to it...

I read the whole article. Not sure why you are so insane against us and Russians really. That's literally, what the source said, like, "that's all we have right now". Like you creeps are looking for more where there is nothing there. I mean, stop.

Russia is guilty of a ridiculous amount of human rights abuses, and Putin is a dictator who has critics assassinated on a near daily basis. How about you tell me why any of that is worth legitimizing on the world stage? Or why you think the US should become a dystopian oligarchy like Russia has devolved into?

There is no good reason to be supporting Russia's interests right now. Their interests do not align with US interests in any way. We gain absolutely nothing from giving Putin a larger piece of the pie, but stand to lose quite a bit.

What the hell does Trump's involvement with Russia have to do with Bernie? And despite this being off-topic, I don't believe that the primaries were rigged, Clinton simply had stronger support in the Southern states than Bernie unfortunately. He won my state.

On the other random subject you brought into this, I definitely don't support Israel as long as they have an extremist Prime Minister (Netanyahu). Obviously I don't support Hamas, either, but the US doesn't funnel money and weapons to Hamas, only Israel. What concerns me most is the possibility of the US going to war with Iran, since that would clearly be on Israel's behalf. It should be more than enough that we give them financial and arms support, if they want to get into another never-ending Middle East quagmire, then they should have to do the fighting themselves.

I'm gonna tell Nintendo and they are gonna delete your smash 64 save and ban you from Mario cart.
Funny enough, I no longer have an N64, but I do have a original fat PSX sitting around somewhere. I spent so much time getting that last stage in Smash 64, too. Very hard, 3 lives, no continues.

Pretty impressive. I wish I would have kept my N64. I had the Pikachu one.

This was my song. I would listen to this and play N64 and Gameboy Color.

Still have my n64. I never owned n64 smash, but would play it alot at my friends house. That and Pokemon Stadium.
OMG the very first Pokemon movie, there's a rush of nostalgia. Powerglove's is definitely a better version of the Pokemon theme, but it wasn't around until 2010.
