 :panic: Putin is everywhere. He knows when you've been naughty, he knows when you've been nice. Resisting Putin is futile.  :panic:

15. The one thing we have learned is that skinner doesn't know what he is doing

So why should I trust his opinion on who hacked the site.

 Careful Travis, you can get a granite pizza for that :)

Yes. The Russians knew they wouldn't be able to steal the election if the DUmp was up and running. Lol

5. We're one of the top hits for any political search.

And we're a centralized meeting place for reporting voting irregularities during elections. This was the first time we've been hacked during a vote and the first time we've been out of commission for a week. Skinner said whoever did this knew what they were doing. I don't buy the casual troll theory.

While this is true, it's certainly not for the reasons you believe to be true.

59. I agree. They came in and shut down a site that would have reported irregularities.

I don't think it was a casual coincidence.

32. If you were an outside power

Diddling the largest contested election in the world, how much time would you waste hacking a powerless debating group to take them down in the middle of said election?

39. We are useful for reporting voting irregularities before the polls close.

This year, we couldn't.

We aren't powerless and we aren't unknown. Individually, maybe, but the site as a whole is influential, and our Google rankings bear that out.

Debating? Since when have the DUmmies allowed one to stray outside outside the approved narrative? DU isn't a debate forum, it's a mutual masturbation society.

The DUmmys loved Russia when they were commies.  Now that Russia is about normal like most Americans, the DUmp haz a sad and is off the rails.

DU is more likely backed by the Russians as it is hacked by the Russians.  I'm sure their intelligence analysts find it just as hilarious as we do, and would loathe to lose their daily laughers.

Even with the darkest view of the Russians you could take, it makes more Discordian sense for them to do everything possible to keep it going than to shut it down.

Bless their hearts.

DUmmies sure have an inflated sense of self-importance.

Well, of course the answer is, "Yes." The Russians COULD have hacked DU, possibly even with an Atari 400. But "could" and "did" have two very different meanings.
