U.S. Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe said Russia and Iran have both tried to interfere in the campaign for the Nov 3 election

Ratcliffe says Russia continues to interfere in US elections?

Ratcliffe is a Trump appointee.

Waiting for the Republican Rapid Response team members and others in the pro-Trump, pro-authoritarian, anti-democracy, pro-Putin crowd to once again say Russian meddling's been 'debunked', give their usual 'muh Russia' response.

Iran is Russia's partner.

And vice versa because of a mutual hatred of Sunni Muslims.

Whether it's Putin, Xi, Kim, or the Mullahs, it looks like every dictator and tyrant in the world is sending their troll army to support Trump....

Now that's admiration....

Of course, Trump would counter and say Biden has the Area 51 Aliens, Bigfoot, and Elvis on his side...

Like the claims that the World Trade Center towers were brought down by explosives, the claims these emails were the work of Iran is backed by things that can be called evidence if you don't look at what actually happened. Indeed, even flat earthers have 'evidence' they'll cite.

But people can see past that 'evidence' to the truth if you bother to.

And the simple truth is that nobody outside America thinks they can move Americans to distrust Americans more than they do thanks to people inside America's political parties insisting that the other side can only win if they cheat, while offering only the option of voting for candidates they don't want to elect.

senior U.S. government official, who asked not to be identified.

Aren’t officials paid by taxpayers? Why can’t they be identified?

whether this story is true or not, the fact that a bunch of hillbillies could make a video, yet alone know how to hack, is like saying America really walked on the moon.

This guy isn't Iranian.

Secret Service investigators and federal prosecutors say James Dale Reed left a handwritten letter on the doorstep of a Frederick residence, threatening to “severely beat” Biden and rape Harris “by my rifle barrel” before executing both candidates on national television. The letter, delivered Oct. 4 about 4:30 a.m., also warned supporters of the Biden-Harris campaign that they would be targeted, according to a federal criminal complaint. “We have a list of homes and addresses by your election signs,” read a letter included in the complaint. “We are the ones with those scary guns."

All looks a bit too handy, seeing as the hackers were caught so easily. Hard to tell.

What's Kerry got to do with it?
