Poor victims
“The highest art in low politics is to be able to induce the masses to invest their own sense of dignity in yours. Then, if you are exposed as a fraud, they will be exposed as credulous: a conclusion they approach with a natural human reluctance.”

We should be wary of becoming poor victims by investing our sense of dignity in Pete F's.

You’re being played
Trump is probably mere weeks from returning to his obscenely lucrative 2015-6 Trump Tower Moscow negotiations with the Kremlin and Putin's agents—the deal he repeatedly lied to voters about in 2016—and folks think he's going to protect America from Russia?

Trump did more stuff within the power of the Presidency to make us stronger against Russia and China than most Presidents since Reagan.
And I don't know how he's gonna do what you say here since you claim that he will be indicted for various crimes after he is no longer Pres.

That’s your typical defense not news to this group, yet for months Russian hackers (state sponsored obviously) have been digging out god knows how much damaging intel out of multiple department data bases, yet we know Trump will do nothing. If Putin would tell him his country didn’t do it, Trump will of course say I believe him.

Worse than not doing anything, he won't even mention it.

What's the point of having various agencies in place to 24/7 deal with this if we insist that the President must do it. Is he supposed to turn on their switch. Must he say "Hey, intel agencies, get on it"?

Boy you are really reaching to make another mindless Trump defense point. There isn't a soul on this board, this state or probably this country, who expects Trump to personally do something about it. Crap he can barely read, I doubt he has the skills to deal with a cyber threat, but no acknowledgement how serious this is and how swift and severe the punishment will be once those responsible are identified, is Trump being Trump. He just can't ever harm his bromance with his Soviet love Putin.
