Yep, they don't even know how off-the-wall they look. The MSM interferes in an election cycle and it's no problem. But then the same MSM cries foul when they think someone else did the same thing. You simply can not make this up! It's now starting to look like Assange is getting tired of being ignored when he says it wasn't the Russians. Word is that a Bernie loyalist insider of the DNC leaked the stuff when he or she saw how they had colluded against Bernie. As it turns out, 4 people had to resign from the DNC because of the wikileaks, so maybe this person got some kind of justice in that and the Trump win.

No, I'll not be getting back to you, either you can think critically or you can't. Either you've made yourself aware of the fraudulent things members of the media and the Hillary team was doing, or you haven't. And sadly, most of the left is probably in the same denial condition as you. I thought they would have worked through the 5 steps by now, but we have mass dysfunction, clinging to denial like a warm blanket. But that will all get fixed soon.

It was all in the wikileaks headlines. So you're saying that the typical lefty has no idea what was in the Wikileaks? http://townhall.com/columnists/johnhawkins/2016/10/29/the-5-biggest-revelations-about-hillary-clinton-from-wikileaks-n2238298 http://observer.com/2016/11/new-dnc-emails-expose-more-dnc-media-clinton-campaign-collusion/ There's many more than that, but you'll have to read the links yourself.

A few people took issue with me, but my main points are not refuted. The MSM was colluding with Hillary's campaign to get her elected, and now cry foul about someone trying to do the same thing, since they were beat at their own game. Obama has been a pushover for Iran, Russia, China, Syria and Benghazi. Now in the twilight of his last days, he grows some cajones and wants a report of the hacking before he leaves office. Sound like an attempt to stay in office? Apparently there can be grounds for such a procedure. Obama hates the CIA, but then holds up their views on the Russian hacking as solid gold. What the hell is that? Now Congress is saying that their committee on the election/wiki leaks thing was never told by the CIA that Russia was the likely culprit. They've called on the CIA to come back and give another report, but the CIA is refusing! So this means that someone is leaking CIA inside info to the Washington Post. Folks, step back from your biases for a minute, and just take a look at the big picture. This could get really ugly. People trying to influence how the Electorial college votes, strategies to take it out of the EC's hands. More riots, mass unrest, etc.

Look, that "article" reads like a grand conspiracy. This nonsense about Russia is getting tedious. We knew BEFORE the election that they had been hacking, and the left wasn't in an uproar over it. You were relatively fine with it until you lost, which is beyond all hypocrisy. You can't now have it both ways. And the disgusting revelations about what the MSM was doing to get Hillary the win is all now of course, ignored. It never happened, silly! Look over there at those nasty Russians and forget about the MSM trying to interfere in the election, because they beat us at our own game, dammit! Yes, Russia has been doing stunts like this for several years. What I can't understand is how the left can be so dense. They are only now surprised, like, "what, christmas is in december this year?" The CIA and others had many revelations on Russia throughout Obama's terms AND HE DID NOTHING ABOUT IT. He did, however, enjoy jerking down the CIA's pants in Benghazi, and that about sums up his relationship(and therefore his minions in the MSM and on the left) with the CIA. So now all of a sudden the left and the MSM are breathlessly reporting what the CIA are saying like they don't hate the dirty little water boarders and want their organization to die. Nothing make the left look worse than their own actions. Seriously.

Gee, sounds like a lib fantasy. Best stick to reality, friend.

Speaking of which(well not really), I wonder how the Bushes like Trump now, since they had officially abandoned him before the election.

Look, you've cherry picked massaged numbers and have nothing else to back it up. The only reason there is full employment is that several million have dropped off the unemployment insurance rolls. Obama more than doubled the debt. I leave you to your Obama cheerleader numbers.

What 10 million jobs? Why is their budget still bleeding several hundred billion per year if the economy is so good? How many jobs were lost at the end of Bush's term/beginning of Obama's term?

And that is the bottom line. The left doesn't want to be disagreed with, they have a strong intolerance for any contrary thought. Note all the bitching on this thread coming from the left.

Cyber, you've been complaining about him for at least 4 years. Has it helped?

Without getting into a lot of detail, I"ll just give an "atta boy" to the mods for cleaning up the US politics section. It seems that many on the left have resorted to trolling WRT Trump and his presidency. Perhaps after another month goes by a more civil discourse will be possible.

You're going to go with…? That just proves my point. Neither of you really have a firm grasp yet on the enigma that is Trump. The left goes from the one extreme that he's the next Hitler, to the extreme on the other side that he's some kind of dunce. It simply can't be both, and that's the pretzel of logic that Trump has the left twisting itself into, and he's not even in office yet.

Too bad about Conway, she knows how to get things done, but one can certainly understand her reluctance. But Trump seems to be hiring people that are pretty successful in their fields. I'm somewhat puzzled by his treatment of Giuliani, however, I don't think he would have been the best Secretary of State.

I find that most Canadians don't even know what they're talking about WRT US elections, the Constitution, etc. They just blow hot air and then sit back as if they've moved the ball forward towards the end zone. The two biggest false arguments about Trump are that he lost the popular vote and that he has to "divest" himself of all his businesses to avoid conflict of interest. The first one I won't bother with as I clearly explained earlier. In Canada's system we've had many federal elections decided with less than a popular vote majority but since it's been a Liberal win, these same left wing posters don't worry about popular voting results. The second issue about conflict of interest is actually funny. There is no law dictating that a President must avoid possible conflicts of interest. Nothing. It's something that presidents do simply as a gesture of good will. The MSM has been going on about this with Trump but it's just more hot air, as is the popular vote nonsense. Losers always whine when there side doesn't win. What can I say, payback's a bitch. U.S. Code › Title 18 › Part I › Chapter 11 › § 202 “Except as otherwise provided in such sections, the terms ‘officer’ and ’employee’ in sections 203, 205, 207 through 209, and 218 of this title shall not include the President, the Vice President, a Member of Congress, or a Federal judge.”

I'm sure that's a very nice joke, but I really don't get it. Is it ME humour? What Trump should do is take a good kick at the can for 4 years, get the economy, immigration,etc., turned around, and then support the nomination of Pence, who'll be a shoo in should the first 4 go well.

See, you're not even making sense. Hitler was somewhat brilliant and totally mad to take over Europe, etc. Your version today of Trump is a dumbo, and no dumbo can do with the US what Hitler did with Germany. So you're going to have to make up your mind, either he's an evil genius who's the next Hitler, or he's a dumbo that will be easily handled by Dem minorities in the Senate and Congress. In such a state, I suppose one has to take humour wherever one can find it.

So Squid, you've gone from fearing that Trump is the next Hitler, to enjoying his rise to power. Which one of these two sides of you is lying? Hint, I think you're too fond of your Hitler accusations to be taken seriously either way.

Well, perhaps you liberals can comfort yourselves with that thought if it gets you through the night. Bottom line, California and New York skewed the popular vote, which is exactly what the electoral college was designed to stop. California and New York only get so many electoral college votes, just like every other state. Trump gets 306 votes and the silly recounts are not changing a thing.

He only improved the economy by pouring borrowed trillions into it. Right now, 20% of New Yorkers are on food stamps, for instance, and that's all money that the government borrows. They need to put people back to work so they can feed themselves. I hope Trump can do it, it's a tall order.

Nonsense. Looking at a 5 day trend leading into voting day is meaningless. The last 6 months shows what the markets were doing which was treading water, not climbing. The left brain trust almost had a party when the Dow futures dropped several hundred points on the night of the election, but have been mostly mum on the climb since.
