With Trump as their nominee, the Republican party no longer stands for containing the expansion of Russia. Trump sings praises of Vladimir Putin so often, one really has to wonder what right the party has to associate itself with the terms "freedom" or "democracy". Putin brutally suppresses opposition, and assassinates his opponents on foreign soil. He is expanding Russia's borders militarily - breaking off pieces of Ukraine and other former soviet republics. Meanwhile, Trump is promising to weaken NATO. I cannot fathom a US politician so thoroughly kissing Putin's ass. This is what the GOP stands for now. Trump's "America First" seems to stand for "fuck the world", we're closing our borders to all and letting Russia have its way with everyone else. Trump's GOP is not the old GOP. It is no wonder that so many prominent conservatives have left the party over Trump's nomination.

Russian Spies Said to Hack Systems Used in Clinton’s Run By ERIC LICHTBLAU JULY 29, 2016 nytimes.com WASHINGTON — Computer systems used by Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign were hacked in an attack that appears to have come from Russia’s intelligence services, a federal law enforcement official said on Friday. The apparent breach, coming after the disclosure last month that the Democratic National Committee’s computer system had been compromised, escalates an international episode in which Clinton campaign officials have suggested that Russia might be trying to sway the outcome of the election. Mrs. Clinton’s campaign said in a statement that intruders had gained access to an analytics program used by the campaign and maintained by the national committee, but it said that it did not believe that the campaign’s own internal computer systems had been compromised. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the fund-raising arm for House Democrats, also said on Friday that its systems had been hacked. Together, the databases of the national committee and the House organization contain some of the party’s most sensitive communications and voter and financial data. Meredith Kelly, a spokeswoman for the congressional committee, said that after it discovered the breach, “we immediately took action and engaged with CrowdStrike, a leading forensic investigator, to assist us in addressing this incident.” The attack on the congressional committee’s system appears to have come from an entity known as “Fancy Bear,” which is connected to the G.R.U., the Russian military intelligence service, according to an official involved in the forensic investigation. </snip> Rest here: nytimes.com
