Your comment is just petulant in its self-centeredness...
Do you actually expect that the proof of Russian hackers with government backing is going to be printed in the papers, advertised on the Internet like Pizza Gate was "proven news"???
It is irrational to expect that YOUR standard of proof--whatever that is--has to be met and YOU satisfied for there to be proof of this evil doing...

My husband read an article this summer before the election (and there have been other's since) where a cyber security expert for a private company the DNC hired after it noticed unusual activity in its IT setup...
DNC called in this cyber company who set up trap ware on the servers and SAW the hackers at work----a traced them back to a company they were familiar with as Russian based/authorized hacking operation....
They caught them in the act of hacking the DNC---
It happened....
The CIA, the FBI (finally), and 13 other security agencies recognize and admit that several groups with ties to the Russian gov't hacked into OUR political databases...

And the info went via the Russian hackers to WikiLeaks/Assange who facilitated the propaganda missives that Putin wanted to use to help turn the voters against Clinton--whom he hates...
Mitch McConnell, other Congressional security dept heads were shown some of this info this summer before the election MCCONNELL--old turkey neck himself---told Obama not to make a big deal about this hacking before the election because it would POLITICIZE the info---what he really meant was it would cost Trump any chance of winning...and Obama didn't do it....which was a freaking mistake IMO--because Trump and his surrogates certainly had no problem using info PROVIDED by the Russians via WikiLeaks (and in at least one instance definitively compromised by the Russians prior to going public)

So plenty of people knew about it--plenty of people in Congress, (it made Harry Reid sick when he saw it), in the security services--likely even Flynn knew about it because he has worked for Putin's Ukraine buddy and Paul Manafort--whether they told Dumpty Trump who knows---probably not because of who he might blab to on Twitter...

Now personally as an American I would think my chances of getting a President who would protect and serve my country's needs best would be served by the person the Russians HATE vs someone they view as a patsy under their financial thumb who is going to be manipulated by Putin to get what benefits Russia vs the US...
So Putin's choice won the election--
Putin is happy---
Do you know how scared that should make any American who really loves this country and the democratic process????
Putin is getting what he wants for Christmas--a patsy for president, Brexit in UK, destabilized NATO, and power in the Middle East....
If you think your world is better with Putin in a more powerful position, you are totally clueless...

Sounds just like Obama...when he won...and told Republicans to sit in the back...and Democrats cheered.

It's worse than that. The declaration of rolling back the acts of Obama not only makes Trump look like a petty spoilsport ignoramus, but in the long run will undermine the country as a whole, when other countries feel that they can't take America at its word, that any action, any promise, cannot be relied on long-term. I'm sure Obama reversed some of GWB's action, but he had the grace and discretion not to trumpet it., and not to make it general policy.

His success is not my success as I am against everything he ran on and stands for. You and the rest of the little Trumpies can have him.

Part of why he was killed. He was right and we all know it.

I disagree with this attitude. As much as I am shocked and saddened that Trump was elected and sickened by his immature, middle of the night tweet tantrums, if he succeeds in creating millions of jobs without burdening the middle class with higher taxes and inflation, improves this country's infrastructure, keeps us out of foreign wars, etc., I will applaud him. However, like you, I'm against almost everything Trump stood for during his campaign, but nobody should ever hope a POTUS fails. Unfortunately, the Republicans plotted against Obama from day one. But we are better than they are (I hope) So far Trump has lied about so many things that I can't imagine he will be as popular in 2 years, even with his loyal supporters, but only time will tell. There's something really strange about his comments on Russia and his criticism of U.S. Intelligence and I'm not sure he can continue his bromance with Putin for very long without raising a lot of questions.

What liberals secretly want:

Sharia law implemented in America
War with Russia
Wide open borders turning America into Guatemala
Sanctuary cities all over America
An end to Christianity
Rachel Maddow for president

What should matter is it isn't true, unfortunately facts seem to get less important to many the closer we get to January 20.

Well then by your logic those people who could have voted and didn't vote are beyond stupid.
They have no right to cry and whine and protest IF they did not vote for crooked Hillary.

I am happy if what you say is true. I voted for Trump. He won. HAppy days!!
