...the operation was carried out with sophisticated hacking tools, the equivalent of those used by the US National Security Agency.

Yeah...equivalent. Could be more than "equivalent", maybe one and the same.

The Dems are calling for a bipartisan investigation of the alledged Russian hacking to find out who knew what and when. I guess I'm okay with that under one condition. Let's extend the investigation to drill down to find out who the "un-named sources" are and regardless whether those sources are found to be democrat or republican we prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law. I'm tired of the "undisclosed source" being named in news stories as reliable purveyors of factual information.

There seems to be someone or some organization that is stirring the pot on this issue. I would like to see the infallible CIA, NSA, or other federal sleuth agency get to the bottom of this.

On a side note, Obama held a press conference today and stated that the news media had failed to report on alledged Russian hacking when the issue came to light and allegations were made in September. The libs blasted him for that saying that he wasn't playing the part of the good progressive by not criticizing the republicans and Trump in particular. Others are calling for a cancellation of the electoral college vote on Monday until an investigation can be completed. In the same news conference Obama flatly stated the presidential election was valid. I think we are in the land of Alice and the White Rabbit !

I think Barry realized the probable consequences of trying to invalidate the election at this point. I think we all do, even if no one cares to say it out loud.

How about investigating Detroit having 1/3rd of it's precincts turn in more votes than were supposed to be there.

WTF?
Are people challenging me when I think people can't get any more stupid?

I just told that to a boss this last week.
He complained, something about, "why bother they just keep getting more stupid?", or something like that.
I should print this up for him.
In fact..
I will.

It's consistent though. The Republican president is always at fault, whether it's blaming GWB years after he leaves office or blaming Trump before he's even in the chair.

They are just warming up for the next eight years

Truly, the democrats have zero grounds to be complaining about election shenanigans after the crap they pulled.

Agreed. But that assumes a certain level of nobility and self policing, which just isn't there. It continues to be chapter and verse out of Sal Alinski's play book.

If you've never read or heard of his book Rules for Radicals, it certainly is thought provoking when you compare the central themes of that book to today's political climate - some of which are seen from both sides of the aisle mind you.

From wikipedia

The Rules[edit]

1. “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.” Power is derived from 2 main sources – money and people. “Have-Nots” must build power from flesh and blood.
2. “Never go outside the expertise of your people.” It results in confusion, fear and retreat. Feeling secure adds to the backbone of anyone.
3. “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.” Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty.
4. “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules.
5. “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.
6. “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.” They’ll keep doing it without urging and come back to do more. They’re doing their thing, and will even suggest better ones.
7. “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.” Don’t become old news.
8. “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.” Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new.
9. “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.” Imagination and ego can dream up many more consequences than any activist.
10. "The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition." It is this unceasing pressure that results in the reactions from the opposition that are essential for the success of the campaign.
11. “If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive.” Violence from the other side can win the public to your side because the public sympathizes with the underdog.
12. “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.” Never let the enemy score points because you’re caught without a solution to the problem.
13. “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions.
