I think we just shun him. He is not a man, just a little fucking boy. Simply out of "hurt pride" he misused abused his board authority and I think aTm should take that authority away from him. He feels about as bad for what he did to me as Kathy Griffin does for what she did to our President.

Your coded rambling about abuse and fucking children is duly noted. A continuation of a very dark theme, as it were.

So some AG's want to sue Trump. I think we all know how this turns out...

I'm saving the Wiley Coyote's for Trump-Russia collusion conspiracy theory impeachment hysteria.

If Trump is involved, it can serve as a visual for wide variety of incidents...

Sessions is testifying right now.

Sessions has got a story to tell, and he is going to tell it. TRUMP IS GOING DOWN after Sessions is done today! We're talking impeachment by this weekend, if not sooner.

I have a feeling...

Another congressional hearing, many more bi-partisan alarms about Russia attacking our most sacred democratic institution. And also today Bloomberg reports that Russians hacked into the VOTING SYSTEMS of 39 STATES!! Holy shit.

Prof, why do you think the president takes the position, all by his lonesome, that reports of Russian interference are a hoax and fake news? Is he stupid?

Thoughts?

"And also today Bloomberg reports that Russians hacked into the VOTING SYSTEMS of 39 STATES!!"

How exactly did the Russians get former Obama voters in Ohio, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin to switch parties and vote Trump?

How are the votes tallied? By hand?

"So your conspiracy theory is the Russians tampered with the vote count. Do you have any evidence to support that claim? And how did the Russians actually pull that off? With the help of the Trilateral Commision?"

You mean this old story, from a week ago, also from Bloomberg?

According to the leaked report, the Russian military intelligence, GRU, ran a spear-phishing campaign targeting the employees of VR Systems, a voting hardware and software producer. At least one of its employee accounts was apparently compromised. Then, the hackers used the harvested credentials to trap local government officials in charge of organizing elections. Emails, coming credibly from a VR Systems employee, contained malware that would have allowed the GRU (although the report provides no clues as to how the attribution was made) to control the computers of these local officials. The NSA doesn't seem to have determined whether the hackers managed that with any of their targets.

In reality, even if the allegedly GRU-affiliated hackers got into the computers of local officials in the states where VR Systems technology was used, they couldn't have changed the election outcome.

VR doesn't actually make voting machines. It makes electronic poll books that make paper voter rolls unnecessary. They allow an election worker to check a voter's personal data against the rolls and issue a ballot. By messing with such a system, hackers could produce confusion, making it difficult for voter names to be verified. They could even enable ineligible people to vote -- but for such a ploy to work, there would need to be large numbers of such ineligible people available for a massive fraud operation on voting day.

But results in the states that use VR equipment and software -- Florida, Illinois, Indiana, New York, North Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia -- were not challenged. They yielded no surprises compared with polling data.

Clinton carried Illinois, New York, California and Virginia. She was so far behind in Indiana and West Virginia that it's difficult to suspect the results were tweaked. Trump won the too-close-to-call races in North Carolina and Florida, but the big surprises -- the ones that clinched the Electoral College -- came in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, where VR Systems isn't present.

THIS is the latest conspiracy theory that Trump colluded with the Russians and stole the election? ROFLMAO.

WAIT-WAIT-WAIT... the author's name is Leonid Bershidsky. He's obviously a RUSSIAN! - and therefore part of the conspiracy!

To answer your question, here are my thoughts:

More on this story, also on Bloomberg, today:

One of the mysteries about the 2016 presidential election is why Russian intelligence, after gaining access to state and local systems, didn’t try to disrupt the vote. One possibility is that the American warning was effective. Another former senior U.S. official, who asked for anonymity to discuss the classified U.S. probe into pre-election hacking, said a more likely explanation is that several months of hacking failed to give the attackers the access they needed to master America’s disparate voting systems spread across more than 7,000 local jurisdictions.

Nobody has ever disputed that the Russians tried to meddle in the election. But there is also no evidence that they succeeded, as this article states. And there is zero, zip, nada evidence that Trump colluded with them. So back to the conspiracy theory drawing board, and...

Cool cartoons, I guess.

You've gone full tard, brother. You are Dances With Trump. Steeped in the ways of the Orange One.

I'm just a humble purveyor of truth.

Starting with this: Trump won the election fair and square. Somehow, someway, it is important for the Trump Derangement Syndrome people to accept that, hard as it might be.

Then you've got your work cut out for you for sure. Your hero routinely lies even when the truth would serve him better.

Btw, the election is in the books and no one is seeking to overturn it. That canard of yours never flies.
