Priebus, Conway: Blame Dems for Poor Digital Security

Two of Donald Trump’s top advisors spoke out on the Sunday shows, dismissing Russia’s impact on the 2016 election and blaming Democrats for their failure to protect their sensitive digital information. In separate interviews, both Reince Priebus and Kellyanne Conway said that the hacking story was just another way for the left to weaken the president-elect’s clear mandate.

“Yes, we have bad actors around the world. We have had bad actors including the Russians,” Priebus said on Fox News Sunday. “But we also have a problem when we have a major political institution that allows foreign governments into their systems with hardly any defenses or training.”

Priebus said that the Democratic National Committee needed to take responsibility for their own vulnerable servers.

“Here’s what we have: We have the DNC as a sitting duck,” Priebus said. “If the DNC allows any foreign entity into their server and says ‘Here, here’s 50,000 emails, you can have them.’ Well, voila. Now you have the biggest dissemination of emails that you’ve ever seen in the history of America because of the revolving door at the DNC.”

Meanwhile, over on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Conway downplayed any effect the WikiLeaks emails might have had on the outcome of the election.

“Alleged attacks – alleged – and aspirations to interfere with our democracy, failed,” Conway said of the Russian hacks. “And they failed. And we know that, because Donald Trump won.”

Conway said Trump’s victory was a triumph for democracy, seeing as how the American public viewed Hillary Clinton.

“She was viewed by a higher number, over 60 percent, as not honest or trustworthy. That had nothing to do with Moscow,” Conway said. “We didn’t need WikiLeaks to convince the American people that they didn’t like her, didn’t trust her, didn’t find her to be honest. She did that all on her own. She got this party started by setting up an illegal server.”

This really brings up an interesting point. Remember back when WikiLeaks first started publishing all of these emails from John Podesta and the DNC? The media reported on them, yes, but they consistently told us that there was nothing special to be found. Save three or four tiny problems – the worst of which were drowned out by Trump’s Access Hollywood tape – the entire email trove was treated as “ho-hum” insider stuff that no one cared about.

Now we’re supposed to believe it tipped the election?

Emails were largely responsible for Hillary’s loss, but not the emails everyone’s talking about now. She sealed her fate with that basement server and her “extremely careless” approach to matters of national security. If Russia really went to all of this trouble to expose her, they probably wasted their effort. By the time the first emails were published on WikiLeaks, Hillary Clinton had already been fully exposed.

    This just in:

    Obama has made yet another power grab, and anyone who thinks this is constitutional is out of their mind.

    He, through his DHS Secretary, Jeh Johnson, has just effectively NATIONALIZED our Election Systems by declaring them “Critical Infrastructure.”

    The United States Constitution CLEARLY states that the STATES are to manage their own voting systems, period.

      We can only hope that it goes through….
      Then we can get rid of all YOUR voter fraud.. and relax, for all votes will be counted.
      Glory Be to God!!
      Hallelujah !!

      • Krazeehors

        There was absolutely NO EVIDENCE of Voter Fraud in the 2016 election.

        • No evidence of voter fraud by the Russians…. That is..

          In this case, the enemy is within. The last two people we should trust with our election system is 0bama and Johnson.

            No proof. It was most likely an inside job – a disgruntled DNC staffer who wanted Bernie perhaps?

          • kbmiller

            Probably an insider, the hacking uncovered the racist, misogynist,anti semitic, anti gay and other hateful truths about the Dumb A$$ oc RAT Party’s philosophy.

          • David C. Lannan

            Sorry. You are going to have to do better than that. Especially since someone has come forward that claims he received the information from a DNC insider – and not Russia. I have no proof of this either but that is more likely. And excuse me for not trusting intelligence agencies under the Obama administration. They are part of the group looking for scapegoats to blame for Hillary’s loss.

            What in the world is the matter with you people???????????

            I don’t believe this… you do know that while they are vetting Sessions he has to answer questions concerning the Russian hacking???

            And intel and the lying media are puppets for this administration. Why should we believe them?

          • gotabgood

            You shouldn’t…. you should put all your trust in Breitbart, Fox, National Enquirer and “The Teaparty News Network”. as you already do..

          • David C. Lannan

            Nice try. I don’t rely on those sources either. I rely on thinking for myself and observing the reality of what is happening around the world. National Enquirer? You mean the New York Slimes? Unlike most liberals I read and watch a lot of different sources instead of letting the government tell me how to think.

          • gotabgood

            You remind me so much of Sarah Palin. When ask what news papers/magazines she reads…. a long pause and her response was priceless… ” All of them”..

            See, she couldn’t name any of them either, just like you.

            This is the truth what you say… ” I rely on thinking for myself and observing the reality of what is happening around the world”
            And just how far reaching is your knowledge of the world by “THINKING FOR YOURSELF”?

          • Was that the same US intelligence people that found Lois Lerner innocent of targeting Americans? Why yes it was…..

            These agencies are corrupt and biased. Their conclusions can no longer be trusted.

            So the Russians hacked, you didn’t know that? Just about everybody is hacking these days….

            The reports also conclude that the Russian hacking had zero effect on the election outcome. So the hacking failed. ( you ignore this fact )

            The reports do not conclude who gave Assange the information about Hillary and the DNC. Assange has already gone on record saying it was NOT the Russians. Assange is more trustworthy than even our intelligent sources.

            Wikileaks disclosed that Hillary is an evil lying bi+ch. She committed crimes punishable by law and she is unfit to be President of the United States… The intelligence community did not disprove any of these facts.

          • gotabgood

            IRS…. you people are pathetic with your scandals and wanting blood until things are done YOUR WAY! There is no sense in explaining things to you…. and there is no sense in explain who the investigating committee was composed of. NOTHING will satisfy you! So as in the case of Benghazi and the emails and the death of Foster and the defending the rapist.. the list is long of your scandals….. but not one arrest.
            As for our agencies against Assange… I find it interesting you take his side…. do you speak Russian?

          • Ditto.

        • George L Smith III

          Actually the the statement “There was absolutely NO EVIDENCE of Voter Fraud in the 2016 election.” it FALSE… When Detroit attempted to recount the election results as per the Jill Stein/Hillery Clinton recounts… Detroit was found to have 3 times the number of votes as there were people in their districts ie the ballots were counted 3 times, the count was aborted as being invalid.. so yes snowflake.. there was evidence of voter fraud, its just that the #LameStreamMedia didn’t make a “big” deal about it. Thats because the Liberal Progressive propaganda machine doesn’t report on fraud committed by Liberal Progressive Democrats..

          • Detroit exposes the rigged system.

            Elite Democrats = Elite Republicans = Elite MEDIA.

            The Elites go behind closed doors and pick a chosen one. (Hillary).

            They then go out and stuff ballot boxes throughout the US in key precincts that they control.

            Who counts the ballots? We assume elite democrats are keeping the elite Republicans honest and vise versa, and the Elite MEDIA keeps all of them honest. But who is keeping the Elites honest???

            The Elites control who is counting the votes.

            All quite true, Mr. Mad (unlike D’Sousa’s clever, yet dishonest propaganda fluff.) Now, what are your suggestions 4

          • Jimmy,

            You should know me by now, I will not allow you to call D;Sousa’s work dishonest without you providing proof of that dishonesty.

            I think D’Sousa did an excellent job of debunking the Liberal Progressive revisionist history created by Zinn. Zinn was a socialist/communist/Marxist and like all communists put the party line above all else, including history and facts.

            I never bought in to the hate America version of history that he created. If all the bad things that he said about America and our ancestors were true, America would not be the GREATEST Nation in the world. No, I believe Zinn created propaganda, and just because you liked what he created, does not mean that he was recording the truth…

            So prove D’Sousa wrong before you call him a liar,.. All D’Souza did was punch holes in just about every liberal progressive talking point they have.

            I do not know what the solution to the voting corruption is, but I do know that the first step is recognizing that there is a problem. America is full of very cleaver and capable people, I am confident a solutions will bubble up.

            Recognizing that there is a problem negates all numbers out of CA. I just don’t believe them.

            ——-
            California’s 17.9 million registered voters—as of May 2016—constitute
            72.3% of eligible adults, which is identical to the registration rate
            prior to the June primary in 2012. The share of eligible adults who are
            registered to vote is likely to increase, as it did in the lead-up to
            the 2012 general election (to 76.7%). The share of registered voters who
            are Democrats (44.8%) is up from 2012 (43.7%), while the share of
            Republicans (27.3%) is down (from 29.4%). The share of voters who say
            they are independent (also known as “decline to state” or “no party
            preference”) has been increasing: it is now 23.3%, up from 20.9% in
            2012. Our surveys indicate that 45% of those we consider most likely to
            vote are Democrats, 31% are Republicans, and 20% are independents.
            ——–

            In order for Hillary to win the 61% of CA votes they say she did, she would have had to take 100% of the Democrats (45%) ( I don’t believe it), plus 16% of 23% or 70% of the independent votes…. ( No fing way). We all know that my fellow Republicans in CA would have voted for a rock over Hillary. So we can assume that she got zero percent of the Republican vote.

            In my mind this is irrefutable proof that the elites are counting the votes in CA. To top it off, I do not think they would have exposed themselves this far if they didn’t want to push Hillary’s numbers to the point that she could “claim” she won the popular vote.

          • jimmy midnight

            I don’t find the idea that up 2 70% of Cali’s registered Indy’s voted for HRC 2 B much of a stretch. But, that would B unnecessary if 10-15 or more % of your R’s turned out 2 B “never Trumpers.”

          • I am going to analyze the data a little closer and get back to you.

            I would say that Zinn is a very capable twister and picker of facts. So we are at a loggerhead tie when it comes to capable twister and picker of facts. BTW, I would label ALL liberals into the very capable twister and picker of facts.

            And I would say that BOTH let the facts speak 4 themselves…

            BUT….. I still don’t think that if Zinn’s anti American negative interpretation of history were true, America would not be the super power it is today…. therefore, I do not think Zinn’s interpretation of history is accurate.

            You have got to admit that Zinn was a committed communist, and there is ample reasons why Communists would want to re-write our history..

            19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
            20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.
            21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
            22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”

            Agreed. I thought you was one of those fruit loop Liberal Left Mental Midgets, who fail to see the Liberal agenda of cheating, stealing, lying, harassment, violence, etc. They have no sense of descency, or moral characteristics, etc. Thank you for the civil reply.

          • Krazeehors

            You are very welcome.

        • kbmiller

          Actually there was voter fraud uncovered.It was, of course , the Dumb A$$ oc RATS caught again. They lied about the count and delivered over votes, unregistered and the dead voting. That’s par for the course for these LIARS tho. Not to mention the voter intimidation.

          • Krazeehors

            What I am saying, if I can clarify that, is that the rampant voter fraud that took place in 2008 and 2012 did not occur to the extent that it did during those years in 2016. The law enforcement and voting law enforcement responsible for stopping this fraud were uninterested in doing anything about it in 2008 and 2012.

            I was appalled in 2008 to learn that Mickey Mouse, Betty Boop, Minnie Mouse, and other false names were allowed to be counted as real votes.

            I was equally appalled in 2012 to learn that the Democrats had, once again, resorted to reprehensible means in allowing people to vote numerous times in numerous districts, and ALSO to learn that more people were “registered voters” than even LIVED in the district.

            Yes, in 2016 California, in particular, had more than ONE MILLION Undocumented Immigrants who cast votes in last year’s general elections and that THAT insult to our election systems in this country made up MOST of the “Popular Votes” that Secretary Clinton allegedly “won” by.

            I have had people in my family – now long gone – who cast votes even though they had been dead for decades. And, I believe that Voter ID laws can and MUST be allowed to purge the country’s voter roles of ineligible and dead voters. The only reason the Democrats are against Voter ID is because it means they will not get as many votes.

            I also believe that we, as a country, must NEVER outlaw the Electoral College. If we rely on Popular Vote only, the right and left coasts (which notoriously vote with the Democratic Party) will determine the outcome of every single election. The Electoral College INSURES that EVERY PERSON in this country will be considered, even from the Red States that are sparsely populated.

            So, YES, I am aware that voter fraud occurs. It did NOT, however, occur to the extent that it did during Obama’s two elections. That is the ONLY reason we now have a Republican Administration assuming responsibility for governing in 10 days, because there was a clear effort to resort to the same tactics that they did in the previous two election cycles.

          • kbmiller

            I agree but we must not take our eyes off the thieves. They’ll be even more willing to do anything and everything to steal the next one. I’m from Chicago, been there seen that.

          • JeremiahtpoG

            I’d say you clarified that pretty well. And I agree with your assessment. The left in this country have been used to lying and cheating and having a collaborative media defend, excuse, cover for, and outright lie for them. The left through their lap-dog media tried to convince Americans that blatant, rampant, fraud and corruption were the “new norm” and we all just had to accept it and get used to it. What the left didn’t realize, or overlooked (probably because they hold most Americans in utter contempt) was that there were plenty of Americans who knew what the media was spewing was propaganda and lies and they had had enough

            I don’t find the notion that up 2 70% of Cali “Independents” voted for HRC 2 B much of stretch. Furthermore, if USA has a state with a significant number of “never Trump” R’s, Cali’s gotta B it.

            We’ve been around the D’Sousa block at least once B4. Of course he gets right after R talking points, that’s both his job and his money-making scheme, and he’s very good—at twisting and picking facts to create the theses U want reinforced. I’ll take Zinn’s, let the facts speak 4 themselves, ideology, anytime.

            Left has faith in scientific and Historical fact. Right has faith in BS that was beaten into them In early childhood. And they’ve learned 2 ride that backwards bicycle.

            Now, as far as voter fraud goes, the Dems are the champions at that. They are sore losers and are still trying to derail Trump’s presidency more than a week before the inauguratiokn.

          In all of my nearly 45 years of voting, I have NEVER allowed anyone, rich or poor, to influence my . I am fully competent enough to make my own decisions, and while I am now retired, I have been not been rich and have had some times when I didn’t know where my next meal was coming from, when as a single parent, I did not know how I would clothe my rapidly growing son, and engaged in as multi-year battle with the government to win claims for disabilities brought on solely by my military service.

          I am a Social Security and Medicare recipient, and my only objections to those programs is the liberal way the funds are allocated to people who have, even though they are able bodies, NEVER worked a day in their lives like the people who have paid into this system all of their working lives.

          I believe in Right To Work because NOBODY should EVER be forced to join a union. I watched the Teamsters Union destroy my father’s career when, after he won his job back then BLACKBALLED HIM from EVER getting another Union Job as a Long Haul Trucker by companies that were unionized.

          After driving over SIX MILLION SAFE MILES, my dad was fired because he had an accident that was not his fault and that experts who examined his rig after-the-fact CONFIRMED that it had been sabotaged before he took it out of the yard that day. The result was that he could not find a job with a living wage, and my parents lost their home and had to declare bankruptcy.

          And, just like a woman’s right to choose, a worker should have the right to choose whether or not to join a union.

          Now, I am sure you will have a snotty, snarky response to my comment. Don’t waste your energy. I am deleting all of your comments and blocking you from my computer.

            ” NEVER worked a day in their lives; unlike the people who have paid into
            this system all of their working lives and now have to live on a
            pittance determined by rich Congressional members who believe that the
            elderly, disabled vets and others unable to work already “make too much
            money.”             You do know that the Republicans have ruled congress for the last 6 years?

            After driving over SIX MILLION SAFE MILES, my dad was fired because he had an accident that was not his fault. A union shop would have prevented that… UNLESS there are other pertinence things left out of your story.
            You did not have to work in a Union shop.. there were plenty of non-union shops around.. in fact they would advertise they pay union wages. the unions were the standard… now with RTW our standard is minimum wage… and you are threatening to take that away… nest they will pay you room and board..
            A living wage…. that does not fit into the rightwings way of talking… they say pull yourself up by your boot straps and get to work..
            As I said before you do not have to join a union…. but it is the unions that fought for the 40 hour work week and overtime, vacations and a retirement… the dues you paid were paid back ten fold in wages and benefits…

          • Krazeehors

            Yep. I know the Republicans have been in charge of Congress for the last six years.
            The COLA wars have been going on since Clinton.

            It WAS a union shop. The story is JUST as I reported. My dad was a lifelong member of the Teamsters, a Union Steward, and a Union Safety Man during his career.

            I am NOT “threatening” to take ANYTHING away. I have just seen and experienced many, many illegal and corrupt things perpetrated by the unions in my nearly 63 years.

          • gotabgood

            Sorry… I have also worked in a union shops.. and there is a LOT missing from your story… Your first offense you are given a warning and have a talking to by management with a union rep present. Second warning, depending upon the severity of why your getting another warning, you may with unions approval get 2 or 3 days suspension. Your third warning, you’re out the door. And there is a law about passing bad references to a new employer. If you were a terrible employee, the union could actually black ball you and you would be hard pressed to ever work in a union shop again.
            But one time and out with bad recommendations………… as the old song goes… ” I ain’t broke, I just ain’t buying”..

          • Krazeehors

            That’s how it is in YOUR union shop.
            There is NOTHING missing from my “story” and I have seen the photographs and read the transcript of my dad’s hearing.

            The Teamster’s Union is WELL known for it’s history of corruption, from Jimmy Hoffa to Frank Fitzsimmons to James R Hoffa, Jr., and their continual THEFT of Union Retirement funds.

            The issues you describe as “warnings” do NOT exist in ALL unions, so you DON’T know everything about unions. I was raised in a Union-Strong household and my dad was a very proud war veteran and member of the Teamsters Union.

            He NEVER took a rig out without doing his own “pre-flight,” if you will, inspection, a practice that absolutely infuriated Union Safety Men and there WAS evidence that the trailer he was pulling had been tampered with. Additionally, the trailer that was assigned to him had been “doglegging” (tracking along one side or another), a FACT that was disclosed by my parents at his hearing.

            The sabotage was, in fact, SO subtle that nobody noticed it. Semi trailers have braking systems on them, sir. The brakes on his cab did NOT work as my dad attempted to steer out of the dangerous skid he was in.

            Also, the driver’s seat in his cab had ALSO been tampered with, and again, I know the truth of what actually happened. The screws and bolts holding the seat firmly in place had been loosened, and the seat was just hanging on “by a thread” AFTER this horrific wreck. The ONLY thing that saved my dad from being thrown out of the cab and run over by his own truck was his seat belt.

            This accident was CAUSED by BLACK ICE, or ice on the road that does not appear to be ice. It is extremely dangerous. The union was taking payoffs from the company, another FACT brought out in the hearing. So, DON’T tell me it doesn’t ever happen in a union shop, because it DOES.

            Just a few months after the hearing and my dad’s subsequent rehiring, company employees arrived to find the gate to the yard closed with chains and locked. The plan was to scrap this employee owned and union shop company, thereby screwing ALL of their employees from the stock options they had earned through years of service, and to THEN reopen as a NON-UNION shop.

            Fortunately the DOT denied their request and business plan and the company never reopened.

            So, PLEASE do not tell me that you know absolutely everything there is to know about unions and how they work. Until you have worked in every union shop in the country, or grew up in a Teamsters Union-faithful home like I did, you simply cannot use your experience to judge mine.

          • gotabgood

            I also came from a family of union members. From factories of American Coach, Kaw.neer Window Fronts, Clark Equipment, Continental Can, Gorelicks Muffler, Simplicity Patterns, Reynolds Aluminum, Ford, Chrysler. Those are all spread over Michigan, Illinois, California and Arizona
            There are procedures you have to go through..

            What is the grievance procedure?

            The grievance procedure is a negotiated article within your contract
            that enables the union to enforce the terms of the contract and protect
            the rights of workers. If management violates the contract, the
            grievance procedure allows the member to follow a process that can
            provide relief or justice.

            Teamster contracts may define a grievance in several ways: It could
            be “a dispute between the union and management over the application
            and/or interpretation of the agreement,” or “any dispute or difference
            arising between an employee and management or between the union and
            management.” Each grievance procedure has specific steps with time
            limits that must be followed. The steps in a grievance procedure vary,
            but a typical one may include:

            Step One: The steward and the grievant meet
            with the supervisor within 10 days of the occurrence to resolve the
            grievance. Management has five days to respond.

            Step Two: If there is no settlement at Step One, a union
            representative, the grievant and a management representative will meet
            to try to resolve the grievance.

            Step Three: If still unresolved, the grievance will be heard by an arbitrator or panel who will render a decision.

            https://teamster.org/about/frequently-asked-questions-faq#faq11

            I realize we are most likely arguing over water under the bridge that has since been long gone… But I have had family, friends and myself working at union shops and none of them are like what you describe. The management cannot come up to you and just fire you. There are set downs and discussions, warnings. I read one website that said they could suspend you for 10 days on first offense… but that is better than being fired first offense. There is more to the story… sorry..

          • Krazeehors

            I related to you what I know to be true, and I do not lie, sir.

            My dad had NEVER had a wreck in over 42 years of driving over the road, and I also know THAT to be true.

            My parents were at the crash site to photograph the wreck even before the Union Safety Man showed up, and my dad knew which photographs to take, how to write up the accident report, etc., because he had been a Safety Man before.

            They were able to obtain maintenance records on the trailer assigned to him, that it was “doglegging” for several trips. That makes for an extremely dangerous situation for the driver.
            I ALSO know that the Union was proven to be colluding with the company.

            Like I said, I related the story to you 100% correctly. My dad passed away from Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma 20 years ago, after MORE than 6.5 MILLION MILES on the road in non-union transport companies he was able to work for.

          • gotabgood

            Just in case you didn’t block me…. you talk like a a frustrated Liberal… Not a rightwinger… you want commons sense things for your life. Common sense is missing in the rightwing’s way of thinking.

          • Krazeehors

            Right. You are SOOOOOOOOOO wrong.
            Republicans have plenty of common sense.

          • gotabgood

            Common sense is lacking in the right wing.
            You cut budgets to the embassy security and expect things to perform as they were…. that make sense?
            You cut budgets and close schools and wonder why the kids are not getting an education. That make sense?
            You give tax breaks to the rich, cut wages for teachers, fire many transportation workers.. and wonder why you can’t meet your budget.. (Wisconsin, Kansas ). That make sense?
            One of your cities is installing 400 million dollars worth of water pumps and give an order not to use the term “Global warming”… That make sense?
            Your state has the most uninsured people of the whole country and you refuse ACA… That make sense?

          • Krazeehors

            No, sir, it is not. All of the things you describe have been going on for decades, and I don’t like it anymore than you do.

            As far as schools closing, there are today over 98,000 public schools in this country, with just shy of 2/3 of them being elementary schools. ,599

            Reference: nces.ed.gov/fastfacts/display.asp?id=84

            Further, that number has not changed since 2009. In 8 years our population has increased by the millions, meaning that funding has been cut – yes by the six years of democratic “rule,” and former Senator Harry Reid’s self imposed gridlock between the House and Senate by his abject refusal to move more than THREE HUNDRED HOUSE BILLS that were passed and forwarded to the Senate. When the GOP took over in 2014, these bills were found in Mr. Reid’s former office.

            Our debt is out of control. It has DOUBLED during the Obama administration, a FACT readily available on ANY website as well as on the Debt Clock in NYC. This is a debt that is absolutely UNSUSTAINABLE, Sir.

            The things that happened in certain states do not apply to the whole country. These states are not MY states, just the cities you talk about are not MY cities.

            My state happens to be Texas.

            You ascribe ALL of these statistics to me, personally, as if I were making the decisions in Congress,, and that is just stupid. Everyone knows, or should know, that once ANY Congressperson changes their tune to constituents who voted him in REAL QUICK once they arrive in the swamp that IS Washington DC.

            There is corruption on both sides of the aisle, sir. Open your eyes and you will see it.

          • gotabgood

            When someone votes a person in office, you take on part of the responsibility. Now if your man is not doing the job you voted him in for.. you need to be calling him, writing him and if possible go see him. And make sure the next election he does not get reelected.
            I read this the other day and was doing a search on your figures… not trying to put anyone down or to belittle them at all… Most if not all the figures that come from the Republicans, I cannot find. I have ask several people if you are so dissatisfied with my news source, show me yours.. no body has done that. Anyway I got interrupted and didn’t get back to it. The title is the words I used to do my search. I am going to give you what I got.

        I agree…. the elite as you call them are the conservatives… they are always the bad guys… because they are stern, unbending, to the letter of the law, (unless its against themselves).. the workers, the ones doing the fighting are the Liberals, trying to fend off the enemy and protect home and loved ones.
        Your last sentence proves my point.

        It is;
        Guns, God and Country… no family… God is second place… or third

          I would say that the lefts ratcheting (that is always taking and never giving) is the reason conservatives seem unbending to you. But if you will recall, I gave 0bama a chance. That is until he was proven a liar.

    It is clear that 2016 was to have been the election that put it away. The marxist muslim from Mombasa succeeded by the Wicked Witch of Westchester and a Senate controlled by the Obammunist coalition of satanists, socialists and sodomites would have locked the corrupt regulatory state in place, filled the Supreme Court with nanny-state totalitarians, opened the door to unprecedented persecution of religion and pulled out all the stops on filling the country with an obedient and dependent Third World lumpenproletariat. Elections run by an unaccountable branch of the national regime would have become the sort of rigged farces that are common in the Africa of our outgoing leader’s birth and in the souks, barrios and casbahs which were to provide the new American electorate. Federally-controlled elections must be at the top of the list for revocation and repeal by the new President.

  • KKmoderate

    Hmmm Hillary had no security on her personal basement server, DNC had no effective security on theirs. I see a pattern here. The pattern doesn’t point to Russia either it points to incompetence! We dodged a bullet when we swept the win. Let’s enjoy our new times and feel the sun shine on our new country!

  • SouthernPatriot

    Reality is finally setting in, at least for some. The truth will win out eventually and is trickling in now. Obama and the demented Democrats wanted to blame something, or someone for their dramatic loss in which Trump won more counties than Obama. The Democrats lost even a majority of the union workers.

    I asked my grandson, who not a genius but did grow up with computers and electronic gadgets, if he had to choose 3 passwords, what would they be? One of the three he listed was “password.” My grandson is 14 years old. Podesta and the Democrats did not secure their computers. It did not take experts like the Russians to break in to their computers. It could have a son, grandson, a daughter or granddaughter of one of the Democrat National Committee or Hillary’s sycophants to do the deed.

    Priebus long ago said they caught the Russians trying to break into the RNC computers, but they immediately called the FBI and with the FBIs help thwarted the attempts of the Russians. The Russians never got into the Republican Parties or Trump’s computers. Why? They had the computers secured. The Democrats may have been hacked. Why? They did NOT have their computers secured. This is a simple truth that Obama and his goons, the mass news media, Hollyweird leftists, and others have ignored.

  • Dannie Poe

    After all is said and done we the US Citizens still have a reality we must address. We still have the Liberal Left, Liberal Media, Political Correct, and Establishment Politicians to contend with. Unless those in power have a complete change in their agenda and admit they do not represent the man on the street, nothing will get done. The answer is quite simple: Put US Citizens first! FOR AND BY THE PEOPLE is what the people want. This is all they ever wanted. The question is: Will our leaders give the people a voice? If we studied the last 50 years of politics my answer would be NO. Politics has taken God out of our schools and public spaces while the Liberal message has been: We know what you need and should have. The Liberals have dictated policy while invading our private spaces. The Liberals are even telling us we must accept the Gay lifestyle, Islam, Gun Control, killing, rioting and looting to allow the venting of frustration, illegals, and any number of social issues while our Constitution says the contrary. The Liberals have simply distorted our Constitution to meet their agenda. I have prayed for someone like Trump for years. Someone not influenced by politics. Someone who is not part of the Establishment and someone who is NOT Political Correct. He may not be our best choice, but he is our only choice when dealing with Liberal Politics. From the moment Trump ran for office he was a answer to the prayers of millions. The people want their nation back and a end to the Liberal’s message. He may not for-fill all his promises, but anything is better than nothing. Just by making our Constitution relevant again would be a WIN of all US Citizens. The US Citizens have used the power of their vote to say ENOUGH. I can only prays that our leaders accept the will of the people.

    The “open borders” on the email servers at the DNC and

    different from the murderers and rapists that illegally cross our sovereign borders?

If we can get past this with or without a civil war and bloodshed, it will be remembered as the year the Dragon ate the serpent.

    Democrat have blown up the hacking issue, Trump didn’t win because of the hacked, its all Hillary’s fault.

    • Arizona Don

      The fact is obama knew it was going on over a year ago and did nothing. Consequently, if the Russian hacking caused hillary’s loss that is to damn bad. They did not care enough about it prior to her loss so it is obvious they don’t care about the nation just their party. Furthermore, if it was the Russian hacks that put the info out there they did a public service for the American people. Because they, the Russians, did not make up the stuff it was the democrats own crookedness that cooked their goose. The DNC and its members are totally to blame.

      By the way didn’t Comey say there was no evidence of hacking on hillary’s computer? How is it no one is mentioning that?

      • dinddong

        Right, good post Arizona Don

        • Arizona Don

          Thank you.

  • george briar

    they are correct. If the Russians really did hack the DNC and crooked Hillary’s server shame on them for having pathetic security and we want them running our country. The fact that they got caught with information showing dishonesty and corruption they wouldn’t have released to the public other wise is a disgrace and we need to thank whoever did it so we found out what they really are like. They can blame who they want but if all they found was harmless information it wouldn’t have even been an issue. Hillary Clinton or the DNC should not be allowed to be involved in politics period they are corrupt, dishonest, incompetent. and have no excuse for any of it and carelessness is not an excuse. Vote out all the democrats whenever and wherever they run that will eventually stop the hackers due to lack of interest.
