the hackers have a good strategy. hack both parties, dump internal emails of the one you want to lose, then hold what you got left over the winner. or dump them later for laughs.

He said it could had been done fat guy who did the hacking.

I think this is a very dangerous situation we have here. We have an incoming US president who doesn't trust his own government. It's why he has his own security and has undercut the US secret service.

We've never had an incoming US president who has been so critical of his own government than Trump. This is the same guy who puts Putin and Russia above the CIA. If this were the 50s he would had been thrown in jail by now.

I'm sure he has had to deal with hacking attempts against his businesses.


And to top it off, he probably knows more from the intellegence briefings he hasn't been reading.

Despite your anxieties he will be POTUS.

If I was about to become President after two terms of Obama I also would have little trust until I had drained the swamp of prior appointees and their ardent followers.

Do you have a direct quote from Trump for that?
I'm curious what pieces of straw you've pieced together.

There are no quotes from Trump and I don't need them. His actions speak much louder.

*Trump has stated that he doesn't believe the reports that Russia hacked the elections.

*Trump congratulated Putin for being very smart when he didn't expell our US diplomats.

What more proof do you need that Trump distrust the US government.

Denying Russian involvement avoids the larger question of why they would do it. Trump & the Repubs want to avoid that discussion at all costs because any rational answer would tend to discredit the alternate reality they peddle.

Put yourselves in Putin's place. When the American electorate is faced with a choice between the most qualified candidate in history and an incompetent buffoon he'll gladly give them a nudge towards the buffoon.

Trump is the kind of guy that chooses a password like "TheDonald666" because if anyone steals or cracks it he wants it to look and sound good.
You know Im right.

So what? Presidential appointees other than to the judiciary roll over with every new admin.

Purging the Civil Service is a whole different level of partisanship.

LMAO!!! Even if the Russians were behind the hacks of Podesta/DNC emails, there is 0 evidence that any voting machines were hacked. The fact of the matter is Clinton was an equally polarizing candidate as Trump and only a few thousand votes in several states made the difference. The people she demeaned and insulted ensured her defeat.

Are you suggesting the Trump supporters she insulted would have voted for Hillary had she not insulted them?

The fact is we just can't know who did the hacking.

It could be anybody......

That's a massive leap in goalposts. From being a traitor to simply not trusting people working for Obama.
Moreover, "Trump congratulated Putin" for not (further) harming American interests. WTF does that have to do with anything?

You're right, when someone says Russia, Trump does not froth at the mouth nor act like he has rabies. Shame on Trump. :mad:

He's suggesting that a single remark from her had the same sort of effect as decades of slime attacks had against her.

The real story of the election is in turnout. Repubs beat down Clinton enough to discourage voting for her & fluffed up Trump enough on the other side to carry the election.

Don't forget the Bernie supporters that felt slighted by the actions of Clinton and the DNC that chose not to vote for Clinton or vote at all in this election.

Some of those people had voted Democrat for many elections prior to this election.

So to be clear you think people voting because they felt personally insulted by a candidate's statements is what turned this election... and Donald Trump won?

Might want to rethink that one, brotha.

Yes, the concern trolling was epic & apparently very successful.

His investigators have found things that we won't believe. He is shocked, we need more cyber, and he is great at cyber. Baron will fix it. But seriously folks the best investigators have found things are unbelievable. He will tell us shortly, and we won't believe it. It's just shocking, he can't believe it.

So those people who were insulted by Trump chose to vote for him????

Are you really trying to claim that a greater total number of people were insulted by things Clinton said than things Trump said? If not, it seems odd to say the election turned on insults.
