    You think the Intelligence agencies are not hardening all election activities -especially since we know Russian
    modus operani?

    FB has testified before Congress -Congress is probably going to make them disclose foreign actors ads.
    Russia Today (RT) has been made to register as a foreign agent..what more do you want?

    more coming there soon too.

    And the Russians are cheering them on.

    Irony.
    Bingo. It's more then ironic, it's despicable by the Dems -basically doing what Russia has done too

    n the moments before the opening puck drop, one fan vigorously waved a hammer-and-sickle flag from the old Soviet Union. Another fan wore a “CCCP” jersey from the Red Army days. And still another had a modern Russia flag with the label, “Olympic Fans of Russia.”

    They sure do know how to troll over there.

    The noise from the Russian section hardly waned as the night went on. Fans there chanted “Roos-see-ya!” throughout the game, pausing only to dance to American music during timeouts. The U.S. contingent across the way grew sullen as the talent disparity became evident. They were reduced to chanting in the concourse, “We Don’t Cheat! We Don’t Cheat!”

    It was feisty on the ice, too. Former Red Wings star Pavel Datsyuk set the tone early by throwing a heavy elbow that probably should have been a penalty. The Russians seemed to target Jordan Greenway early and often, shoving him along the boards in front of the benches.

    “I don’t know what started it,” he said later. “He didn’t want to let me go. He wanted to do a little dance. I’m always down for a little dance.”

    It became more of a dance at the end of the second period, when Nikolai Prokhorkin crosschecked Greenway and Chris Bourque flew in to defend his guy. It turned into a skirmish and Prokhorkin emerged with a smirk on his face. Bourque didn’t think it was funny.

    “If guys want to step up to the plate,” he said after the game, “I’m ready.”

    Bourque seemed just as ready for a rematch. “We weren’t scared of them,” he said. “We’re still not scared.”

    The Russians aren’t scared either. They are the best team in the tournament. The silliness of this situation is that the combination of the half-punishment from the IOC for doping and the withholding of players by the NHL has transformed the Russians from outcasts to palace-dwellers. They look like they’ve been playing together for years, while other teams are still showing flashes of preseason rust. So they can capitalize not only on the extra talent, but also on the extra confidence that familiarity brings.

    “That team capitalized on momentum better than any team I’ve played against,” said U.S. forward Brian O’Neill.

    There was momentum everywhere for the Big Red Machine on Saturday. Maybe that’s why Granato acknowledged that last power play irked him. Perhaps it’s something to rally his younger guys.

    Team USA needs something more than what it had on Saturday. Because the way this tournament is going, Russia medaling is a foregone conclusion.

    Not true.

    Why did you duck the fact they supported Bernie?

    Meh, I think he/they just don’t care lol.

    They want rid of Trump by whatever means. Some day this will all be over and the left won’t make any noise about Russians any more.

    Mark it down.
