13 Russian nationals indicted for meddling in 2016 election

last time i checked it was $7k. I gather that most of the people who just can't afford the insurance fall within the 9.69% of income threshold. it is still the last resort to "go bare" because the minimum cost of the cheapest hospitalizations is somewhat north of $50k. a busted elbow cost me $53k. were it not for this particular rural hospital's poverty program, it woulda been bankruptcy for me. that is what we get for failing as a nation, to enact proper health care financing reform.

This story reminds me of something I observed a while back.

Perhaps as much as a year ago or more, I happened to notice that in a high rise apartment building I would occasionally pass, in a number of units directly on top of each other, there were tower computers in exactly the same place with their backs to the windows (thus why I was able to see them). While it's not uncommon for certain items of furniture to be in the same location in dwellings with the same floor plan, this typically doesn't happen with smaller items and my ASD brain this pattern was a little odd in that every person in these units atop each other had a tower PC, and all decided to put them in the same place, as if they were all set up by the same person.

This apartment building is across from a large media outlet, and I entertained the idea that perhaps these units were occupied by employees and the computers were workstations set up by the company so they could work from home, but I know employees of this company and all work is done on the premises even when it could theoretically be done from home.

Anyway, today when I was passing I noticed the computers were gone in all of the units that had had them...except perhaps the first...I can't tell because it now has privacy film on the windows.

I entertained the idea that the computers were part of a Russian troll farm, but what an expensive place to hole them up in.

Yeah it's a shame. You know I'm not on some kind of conservative kill obamacare thing. I just want everyone, especially all the working class, to have sensible affordable healthcare.

That's it.. time for Canada to build a Southern border wall.

If millions of people start pouring in illegally, Canada might think that's not be such a bad idea. Although that would be a mighty long wall. Walling off the great leakes would be especially difficult.

I'd never heard any complaints in the mainstream until Trump won. I thought fraud was illegal in all cases. Clinton conspiring with a foreign agent to hack the election is illegal though but you don't care about either. Just be honest, it has nothing to do with justice or democracy. It is just about removing Trump because he is accused of being racist and sexist.

It's always been about attempting to remove Trump. Right or wrong, it's obvious that's all it's really about.

Utterly disgraceful the way these rich, spoiled and deluded Hollywood actors act like they speak for real people. Even worse is that how many people repeat their garbage like parrots.

You never heard of it before Trump because you aren't an American. Otherwise, you would have heard of it being kicked around for years.
And who was this foreign agent Clinton was supposed to be conspiring with? I mean besides talk that includes her and Lady Gaga running a pedophile cult in the non-existent basement of a pizza shop.

Why not? Don't you think you deserve a taste of your own medicine?

It looks like a farce to anyone who is actually objective. To those with an ideological axe to grind (i.e. Clinton-supporters who are still pissed off that their corporate puppet wasn't selected), sure, everything is correct and proper.

LOL! This sums it up perfectly!

Lintar-

Whether America deserves it is a whole other matter, but no, clearly we don't want it.
As for your charge that this is just about disgruntled Clinton supporters - - why then is Trump displaying consciousness of guilt? Why does he want to fire Mueller and even his own AG? Why has Mueller gotten guilty pleas and indictments? Plus, people aren't bent out of shape that Clinton lost, but because a corrupt, incompetent, barely literate racist won.

"Why then is Trump displaying consciousness of guilt?"

I don't think he is. How, precisely, is he "displaying" this? What are the signs, the markers, the body language involved?

"Why has Mueller gotten guilty pleas and indictments?"

As someone mentioned before when you brought this up, the 13 were just some low-grade Russian hackers with no connections to anyone within the Republican Party.

"Whether America deserves it is a whole other matter, but no, clearly we don't want it."

Clearly WE (i.e. the rest of the world beyond the Rio Grande and the Canadian border) do not want it either, and yet we constantly get it from you guys. Stop your whingeing and take it like men, not p*****s.

The fact that he's tried to stop the investigation clearly does.
I'm not talking about those hackers, but about those guys in the Trump campaign, such as Manafort and Flynn.
I just realized something - - you're saying two different things. You don't believe Trump colluded with Putin, but you think it's cool that America is getting it's comeuppance from Russia. I think you know Mueller is right, but you want to see America punished. At least be honest.

our dumb as a box of rocks but crazy like a fox house speaker lyin' ryan actually [with a straight face] proposed a northern border wall, but to keep Canadians OUT!! AS IF... oh, the sheer unadulterated stooooopid just BURNS!! !
