CIA: Russia manipulated the election to install Trump

I didn't really care so much about what Hannity was saying as much as Assange since he distributed the information. Assange did a good job of staying on track even when Hannity was trying to bring up random partisan stuff in my opinion.

If you can't stomach listening to anything from Hannity then read that story. I thought it was a pretty decent recap and breakdown of everything.

Also I listened a good bit of the presser from Obama and he didn't really seem to give too much more info. I haven't read a recap yet to see if I missed anything big. He said he had seen the intelligence in question and that a report was being put together which is good to hear. However, he seemed to stop way short of saying Putin was involved in the hacks. I thought the part about Obama telling Putin to cut it out with the hacking months ago was very strange to say the least.

 

For someone who has no time for to read all this what does this mean moving ahead?

 

That people on the left are still salty about losing the election and they aren't quite ready to take an honest look at why they lost the election.

 

Yea but nothing will happen right

 

Almost certainly not. Everything will proceed as they always do.

 

So, basically its all just a giant waste of time and our CIA is about as competent as these guys....

 

In some ways, yeah, but it's possible they could actually learn something from this so it's worth investigating....but no different than the Sony hacks or any other private company that gets hacked. Given that it's not a government agency or government systems that got hacked, there's not a lot the government can do about it, but maybe they can compile a list of Russian hackers or something. Figure out exactly who was involved. That could be a little bit valuable possibly. In the end it'll come down to the private organization having more competent security policies, but you'd hope the DNC learned something from this....don't nominate a terrible candidate like Hillary, and don't make your system so easy to break into. The DNC makes billions, they should do better.

 

You will have to add the FBI and other intelligence agencies. Just a bunch of wanna-be. The real knowledgeable folks are people like Bobby. LOL.

 

The real knowledgeable folks are the ones who don't play to one side or the other and are like open minded and stuff man. I've spent a brief time reading through these political forums but bobby seems like a level headed dude, one who is worthy to smoke out with me. Most of the rest are all just a bunch of political hacks for one side or the other. I think bobby and glynch are probably the most neutral and real people here and they post real content. But that's just from my observations and my own personal opinions.I think glynch and bobby are the two best posters here and they're like Jordan and Olajuwon in whatever order you want to make them. Thanks guys, dude will still be here for you.

 

To each their own. Of course I fully disagree on Bobby and I believe many here will also. Glynch I can fully respect. We have different opinions but I like him as a poster.

As for knowledge, yea, I believe it's cracky to think you are more knowledgeable than people that work in the field. It's like someone that have done no car work saying they know more about cars than a car mechanic.

 

Well, I still get my own opinion and stuff, man.

 

The real knowledgeable folks are the ones that to whichever side the best available evidence and facts leads them.

 

It's adorable that you think you know either my background or what people in the intelligence community actually think about an issue just because you've heard the company line. Of course, the party line goes along with what you want to believe, so it makes sense that you wouldn't put any more thought into it than that.

 

Talk to the hand. Hand up. Cheers.

 

Tha dude is drinking the Trump koolaid

 

Without Russia as an enemy, CIA won't have as much importanc. So CIA is over promoting what we all knew was most likely where the dnc email hackers came from so they can try and stay relevant. Dems eating up the over promotion to help their "we didn't really lose" mentality.

Dems - do you really think exposing those emails are why you lost? To me as an independent, I couldn't care less.

 

But they did lose and the whole worls knows it. And not just the presidential contest, either. The have lost in spectacular fashion over the last six years all up and down the ballot.

 

Dude doesn't like kool-aid, i typically drink vodka and kahlua.

 

They why are you drinking the alt-right chocolate semen? Doesn't matter if you put vodka in it - it's still right wing c*m.
