Russian hackers probed election systems in all 50 states, a new Senate report confirmed Thursday.
The report comes one day after former special counsel Robert Mueller told Congress that the Russian government is working to meddle in U.S. elections "as we sit here."
"It wasn't a single attempt," Mueller said Wednesday of Russia's 2016 election interference. "They're doing it as we sit here. And they expect to do it during the next campaign."
The bipartisan report by the Senate Intelligence Committee released Thursday confirmed previous comments by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that Russian hackers scanned election systems in all 50 states ahead of the 2016 presidential election. DHS initially acknowledged Russian attempts to hack into election systems in just 21 states.

I remember when that came out. The problem with elitist subversive propaganda is it loses touch with the general population until it sometimes has the opposite effect.
"Dude, he so banged a pr0n star" smelled like certain death to freaky degenerates who are trying to slut shame him so they went after him.
But a bit less that 1/2 of the population was straight males thinking "F yeah, high five bro, wish it was me, was she as good as she acts in movies?" and the other half of the population being straight females have been propagandized since being little girls with all this princess meets prince charming shit, so some hot rich powerful (aka sexy) man gets with a lower class girl and she's all hot for Trump now, she has no chance but the story gives her wish fulfillment and next thing you know she's voting Trump if she wasn't already ...
Remember when Prince Charles married Diana? I'm not saying she was a pr0n star, but she was a relative nobody, and rather than hate Charles for slutting it up with a commoner, people in general went batshit insane for those two.
Same thing when they try to slut shame Melania, only lonely hairy ugly old feminists hate her, everyone else in the general public goes batshit insane loving the story of prince charming marries and saves the hot new princess.
Some angry old cat lady that nobody respects screeching on CNN for five minutes isn't going to deprogram trillions of dollars and many decades of Disney princess BS.
It was just hilarious the screeching and howling of degenerate propaganda and doomsayers when it was reported, then two weeks later to the complete mystery of the degenerates, the polls for him went up, LOL.

Back during the Clinton Lewinsky issue, I read an article that proposed what I though was a pretty accurate premise -- something along the lines of "most men weren't disappointed because he got some on the side, they were disappointed in him for getting caught."
Prudes, in times past and in the modern era, I think overestimate the prudishness of the general populace.

I'm a straight male and I've always thought he's a douchebag. I guess I'm...different.
Obviously, I'm not a woman but I doubt this chump could have a big enough wallet to entice me if I were a woman.
Actually, she was born a royal. [geni.com] (Stop the presses! VLM is wrong again!) The tip off is that before they were married she was Lady Diana Spencer.
I could be wrong but I believe that Donald Trump's approval rating has never been above water. Go ahead and prove me wrong. I dare you!!!
