Since I'm not grieving the election's outcome, it doesn't apply.
Hell, a signed, sworn statement from Putin that they hacked the emails wouldn't make a difference.
Repeat after me: "President Trump". You'll be seeing that a lot.
I have yet to see one post election autopsy that says the email leaks swung the election. I did see Donna Brazile and several news outlets claim they were false anyway.
You folks just make it up as you go along! An RNC spokesman just appeared on the tube, feverish in his argument that "you can't PROVE that the hacks affected the election outcome!"
Absolutely. Positively! What he says is so, so true!
Instead, you can prove the INTENT to affect the outcome, based on CIA hacks or intelligence of the Russians.
And what proves from that, we can't be sure. In the sieve of possibilities, we might actually find out that TRUMP had FOREKNOWLEDGE of what the Russians had in plans. That would make him a Traitor. It makes his supporters all dupes to a foreign power.
"Got your traitor in the White House? Make ya feel good?
Your Weasel of a President Elect? He's going to suffer, Bitch!
Let this teach you a lesson, with your phony accusations, your manufactured congressional committees, your lying politicians. There's not one genuine American bone in your sissy bodies.
Even Robert Baer, the former CIA careerist and media commentator has it wrong! He's saying the same thing that Trump's political apologists are saying -- with serious assertions that the Electoral College will "know" that the Russian interference affected the election! He's thinking on the wrong level with the right intentions.
You don't need to prove that the Russians affected the elections! You only need to prove that the Russians deliberately intended to affect the outcome with hacks and misinformation. That proof would arise in CIA's intelligence-gathering -- their own hacks of the Russians, tapped phone conversations and all of it.
And that leaves the possibility that Trump had foreknowledge! The trail-signs of that possibility show in his dismissal of the intelligence and his mistrust of the very agency he must be able to depend on when he takes office. It shows in his unwillingness to take intelligence briefings. Why would that be? Because he's quivering in his shoes that the CIA knows something, his briefers may know something, and he'll be facing them daily!
It suggests that he's a cowering Sissy, a possible Traitor to his Country. Calling him an Asshole now is bland.
It is so easy to generalize that all Trump supporters and Republicans are the dumbest people on the planet. I'm not stupid enough to make that mistake, but only for the purpose of sticking my thumb in a GOP eye and pulling the squish from its socket. And I'm not even discussing any "liberal ideology" or other detritus always disparaged by Republicans here to show that their opposition is filled with "Useful Idiots."
I can't guarantee it, because this will continue to unfold and paralyze us with apoplectic wonder. We don't know. But my best estimation? Your Asshole President is goin' down! He could get through a full term, but he's goin' down! You can't respect an Orangutan Haired Bully. You can't "follow" such a morally-deficit leader.
No matter what happens -- in the next month, the next several months, the next four years -- we will likely be spitting in your faces. Makes you suddenly gratified to have a mild case of CPOD with the morning bubble-gum expectoration. Hope you get some soon!
