One thing you have to admire, is how democrats reassert themselves as though they are still in power and control congress and the white house...as though they got shafted, as though they got screwed, as though it’s somebody else’s fault, because this is what they do.

Liberals lie; they misconstrue; they obfuscate; they blame; they camouflage themselves. And so it really wasn’t that hard to assume their normal character and behavior. They had to blame others because accepting responsibility for what happened on election night and throughout the whole campaign, accepting responsibility is something nobody in the Democrat Party raised their hands, say, “Yeah, my fault.” No way they were gonna do that; this was that bad.


This is one of the biggest upsets, and it was out there for everybody to see. It was happening right in front of their noses and they refused to see it and look at it. They were telling themselves Trump can’t win, Trump can’t get to 270, Trump can’t win this state, Trump can’t win that state, Trump can’t win the debate, Trump’s not gonna last three weeks, Trump this, Trump that.

So now the self-delusion, the new self-delusion is that Russia hacked the election, and the FBI director is helping feed that delusion.


He started an investigation of people close to a likely Republican nominee for president. He set up a situation where Trump could possibly be named as a dreaded unindicted coconspirator in an election where the only fault Donald Trump has is being a better candidate and a better organizer and a more likable person than Hillary Clinton. I guess they’re on their way to trying to criminalize that now.


These people have a lot to answer for. As I said yesterday, the Russians have not succeeded in undermining the integrity of American elections. The Democrat Party and its allies throughout the federal bureaucracy are doing that all by themselves.

First of all, nothing was hacked.


Podesta was stupid enough to fall for a phishing scheme that released ten years worth of personal e-mails.


The e-mails were certainly damaging, but that's only because they confirmed that the Clinton campaign was colluding with the DNC and media to steal the election.


The Russia narrative was invented so that people like Hillary, dirty Debbie and Donna Brazil could have a reason to refuse to answer questions about the content of the e-mails.

Let me see. Phishing scemes set themselves up without the aid of cyber criminals. Criminals within the Russian mafia.

We'll see.

But, considering Pence is even more conservative than Trump...

Maybe the Left should be careful what they wish for.

I talk about this with Liberal friends and coworkers.... I get a lot of empty stares and "but....but....RUSSIA!!"

I've even talked to people on the left that actually think that if Trump is impeached, that:

1. Trump will automatically be removed from office.

Or even funnier...

2. That Hillary will be made president.

Yeah, there are actually Hillary voters who are that stupid........must be those 3 million people that gave her the popular vote.

How, exactly, is it backfiring? The OP doesn't really pass the "Pinocchio Test".

"The Pinocchio Test
The president's tweets throughout the day were misleading, inaccurate or simply false. The gravity of the disclosures might have called for a more restrained response, as a White House well of credibility is only so deep. But the president chose another approach -- which clearly backfired, tweet after tweet.
Score: Four out of four possible Pinocchios"


Trump's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad Twitter day - SFGate

LOL.

And you attempt to disprove it by posting opinion article from a paper in San Francisco and talk about a cartoon character. Don't they also support Nancy Peolsi 100%.

This speaks for itself.

This.

The Russians have tried for years and they will continue in the future.

Obama meddled in elections.

Ted "Dunkem" Kennedy colluded with Russia to try and defeat Ronald Reagan, remember that MSM?
