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.

    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?"

    I'm a straight male and I've always thought he's a douchebag. I guess I'm...different.

    ...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 ...

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!!!
