Naw, you're just waiting to make falae accusations and race bait like you always do, poor sick little troll.

Surely false accusations would be trivial to disprove with all those posts bravely berating fellow tough guys for talking shit about your family. Pretty obvious where avoid hurting their feelings is prioritized even for less than absolutely dedicated loyalists, which really says something about conservatism.

get a room

To demonstrate the stark contrast, observe that I have zero issue with considering many liberals to be cucks who aren't willing to say what needs to be said.

Ohh, someone struck a nerve. Must be close to the truth.


Back to the OP, Trump is spouting idiotic nonsense again. Baron got another call out about how much he knows about computers and can do anything.

Maybe Baron hacked the DNC and framed the Russians to help dear old dad? Is this is secret information Trump has that Obama, the CIA, NSA, DNI, etc etc etc don't know? O_0

Well, Baron is 10 years old and operate a computer, which makes him a genius in Trumpland.

Do you have a direct quote from Trump for that?
I'm curious what pieces of straw you've pieced together.
He called Obama the worst president ever. He tweeted the other day that he has always thought Putin was a real smart guy... period. Not exact quotes but exact meaning.

Um, are you actually a jackass?

The hacking had no impact of who I voted for.

On another note as someone who works for an ISP that is occasionally asked to find out what happened on compromised gear. I have to do reports on how the problem happened and who was at fault when determining who is eating the cost of a hack, this is one VOIP equipment and it's usually toll fraud involved. In cases where a customer had set a password to something like 1234 or something easy to guess the business gets stuck with the cost of the hack. In another case, the group that deploys the equipment, didn't put access lists on the device and was basically allowing management access to the device from most of the world. This wouldn't have been such a big deal, but they let the default usernames and passwords in the routers as well.

I guess what I'm getting at is, if you get hacked, it's probably because the proper precautions weren't followed. It doesn't matter who hacked what mail server, the real issue is that the server was accessible to be hacked. They could have locked things down while maintaining usability to the server using vpn's and allowing access to the server though those IP ranges.


Also they were dressed so slutty; they were just asking for it.

What you show is who should be responsible for such actions. However, regardless of how irresponsible someone is, it is against the law to access a computer and its data without permission regardless of how trivial the hack was.

So the fact remains, the DNC was hacked and a crime was committed, the signs currently point to Russia as the perpetrator. Its funny how the law and order candidate doesn't give a shit about enforcing laws about this.

Worse- he invited their hacking-

The Russians were just looking for Hillary's "lost" emails, obviously.

Did the Donald miss his deadline for revealing the unbelievable truth?

tweeted 2 hours ago...

"The "Intelligence" briefing on so-called "Russian hacking" was delayed until Friday, perhaps more time needed to build a case. Very strange!"

He's already discounting it. Expect him to remain officially "unconvinced".

Trumpsters will declare victory, neatly avoiding the question of why Putin might favor incompetence in the US govt.

You mean he is dependent on the report that wasn't scheduled to go to Obama until Thursday who gets it first since he requested it?

The orange boob strikes again.

Apparently Trump lied about it being rescheduled and it was always scheduled for Friday. (Shocking, I know)

I don't know what game he's playing but this seems like a great way to alienate the intelligence community for no good reason.

Trump can't afford to admit that Putin helped him win. That's reason enough.

Trump watched TV and heard a thing...

Mr. Assange appeared on Fox News on Tuesday night with Sean Hannity, one of Mr. Trump’s biggest media boosters, to declare once again that the Russians were not the source of the purloined emails that WikiLeaks released from the Democratic National Committee and the personal account of Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman, John Podesta

http://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/04/us/politics/transition-briefing-trump-us-intelligence.html?_r=0.

...and then went on social media to say "He heard a thing".

Washington (CNN)President-elect Donald Trump took to Twitter Tuesday evening to deride the US intelligence agencies due to brief him on alleged Russian hacking of American political groups.
http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/03/polit...igence-briefing-russian-hack-delay/index.html


...and on the next episode of Housewives of Washington DC
Trump said last week that he would receive an intelligence briefing on the Russian breaches this week and suggested it would come early on, telling reporters on New Year's Eve that they would know more about the subject "Tuesday or Wednesday."
But US intelligence officials disputed Trump's tweet alleging a delay.
Top US intelligence officials have been scheduled to brief Trump on the full report on Russian hacking President Barack Obama ordered once it was completed, but the meeting was not set to take place until later in the week, according to US officials.
The meeting was never scheduled for Tuesday, as even Obama has yet to receive the full-fledged briefing on the Russian hacking, one US official said.
And a US intelligence official told CNN that Director of National Intelligence James Clapper was never scheduled to be in New York City, where Trump is, on Tuesday -- and was perplexed about the "delay" Trump claimed was taking place.

So Putin helped Trump by hacking the votes but Hillary got 3 million more votes. Did Putin only hack the swing states? Sounds more like just another excuse why the annointed one lost the election.

Huh? Who here is saying Putin hacked the votes? You seem to have gotten some bad information.

Nice straw man. The allegation of vote hacking has not been made in this discussion.

Did you not say Trump can't let anyone know Putin helped him win the election? So did Putin only help in the swing states?

First, I didn't say that. Second, how is Trump losing the popular vote an indication that Putin didn't help him and why would him winning in certain swing states matter? You've lost me.

You may want to look at what you posted in post #65.

So how many voters changed their minds on how they were voting? Specially in the swing states that gave Trump the EC win.
