And a xenophobic egomaniac got elected by a minority of the country. If you don’t care what happened, you probably don’t care about Russia’s role in the election. Aren’t there bad books on both sides?
BTW, Trump’s re-tweet of the gif where he hits Hillary with a golf ball is just a continuation of his childish stupidity. He likes Hillary in the news. It distracts people from looking at his abject failure as president.
The calls started flooding in from hundreds of irate North Carolina voters just after 7 a.m. on Election Day last November.
Dozens were told they were ineligible to vote and were turned away at the polls, even when they displayed current registration cards. Others were sent from one polling place to another, only to be rejected. Scores of voters were incorrectly told they had cast ballots days earlier. In one precinct, voting halted for two hours.
Susan Greenhalgh, a troubleshooter at a nonpartisan election monitoring group, was alarmed. Most of the complaints came from Durham, a blue-leaning county in a swing state.
Details of the breach did not emerge until June, in a classified National Security Agency report leaked to The Intercept, a national security news site. That report found that hackers from Russia’s military intelligence agency, the G.R.U., had penetrated the company’s computer systems as early as August 2016, then sent “spear-phishing” emails from a fake VR Systems account to 122 state and local election jurisdictions. The emails sought to trick election officials into downloading malicious software to take over their computers.
Ms. Greenhalgh will be watching closely. “What people focus on is, ‘Did someone mess with the vote totals?’” she said. “What they don’t realize is that messing with the e-poll books to keep people from voting is just as effective.’”
She’s essentially correct, the Comey letter did her in. She was not a great candidate to begin with. She doesn’t love campaigning and has little charisma. Democrats also ran a poor campaign ceding issues like Defense to Trump who did everything but show up at the Draft Board in a dress during Viet Nam to avoid service. But without Comey, we would be calling her Madame President.
One of the more pleasant parts of this whole Hillary Clinton book tour touting her excuses for the most embarrassing loss in American Presidential Electoral history is reading the comments from people who supporting the losing side. Actually, that’s not right, when Mrs. Clinton lost, we all won!
“WASHINGTON — Paul J. Manafort was in bed early one morning in July when federal agents bearing a search warrant picked the lock on his front door and raided his Virginia home. They took binders stuffed with documents and copied his computer files, looking for evidence that Mr. Manafort, President Trump’s former campaign chairman, set up secret offshore bank accounts. They even photographed the expensive suits in his closet.
The special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, then followed the house search with a warning: His prosecutors told Mr. Manafort they planned to indict him, said two people close to the investigation."

Only because the other side cheated more effectively. And, because folk are easily led down the proverbial garden path… Fools that they are.

I am no fan of Trump, but Hillary has nothing to offer us but sour grapes at this point. For the good of the country, she needs to go away.

No heaping praise on YOUR GUY, Ramirez? Tired of ‘winning’?
Ramirez cartoons are as brilliant as they are timely.
