And those who complain that another nation tried to interfere with your election process is of no concern to you? This has been going on for decades. Remember Obama and Hillary messing with Israel's election? I do That is why I want voter ID's In any event remember this is an opinion piece. "America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." Abraham Lincoln

To the crybaby sore losers. This opinion article is on the money!!! By Liz Peek ·Published December 12, 2016 · FoxNews.com Now Playing Trump blasts claim Russia hacked the election Make no mistake: it’s payback time. In ordering up a “deep dive” into possible Russian interference in the election of Donald Trump, sore loser Barack Obama wants to delegitimize the real estate magnate’s win. His motive? Punishing Trump for the years the mogul spent publicly questioning whether Obama was an American citizen, which cast doubts on the legitimacy of his presidency. Ah, how sweet the revenge. And how pitiful. President Obama has searched high and, increasingly, low, for the reasons he and Hillary Clinton lost the election. He has blamed Fox News, insufficient grass-roots campaigning by Hillary, “fake news”, and now has singled out Russian meddling for the loss of 194 of 207 counties that voted for him in either 2008 or 2012. The suggestion is that Vladimir Putin wanted Trump to win; the liberal media has hinted darkly that the president-elect and his campaign team have “ties” to the Russian head of state. As most Americans review Trump’s defense and security picks, the notion that the new administration will go easy on our adversaries – including Russia – is laughable. Retired General James Mattis, whom Trump has nominated to head Defense, has described Russia’s annexation of Crimea as a “severe” threat, one underestimated by the Obama White House. Mattis is not to be trifled with. The media has ignored the reality that Moscow’s possible hacking of DNC and Podesta’s emails were retaliation for Hillary Clinton’s assertions that Russian elections in 2011 were “rigged” – an accusation that infuriated Putin. When protests erupted in Russia over the election outcome, Putin blamed Clinton. “She said they were dishonest and unfair,” Putin said at the time. He accused then Secretary of State Clinton for giving “a signal” to demonstrators organized “with the support of the U.S. State Department…We need to safeguard ourselves from this interference in our internal affairs,” Putin said. Does this sound familiar? Turnabout is fair play, and Putin has made it clear that if we mess with his elections, he will mess with ours. Obama knows this. Politico reported in a July piece entitled “Why Putin Hates Hillary” that the Russian leader’s anger about Clinton’s interference was “communicated directly to President Barack Obama.” Former administration officials involved with Russian policy say the Kremlin saw Clinton as taking a harder line against Russia – “reset” notwithstanding – than others in the White House. “And they say Putin sees Clinton as a forceful proponent of “regime change” policies that the Russian leader considers a grave threat to his own survival.” That is why the Russians may have tried to undermine Hillary Clinton, not because they see Trump as an ally. Like most of the world, Moscow no doubt expected Clinton to win. Coming into office weakened by Putin’s meddling would have undoubtedly pleased Moscow no end. Obama’s call for an investigation is transparently bogus. First, the CIA offers up only scant circumstantial evidence – evidence that even the New York Times admits “does not support firm judgements” -- to make the charge that Russia worked to favor Trump. The FBI isn’t even on board with the conclusion. Second, everyone knows that no serious inquiry could possibly be completed by January 20, when Trump will be sworn in. The federal government operates with glacial pacing; Obama knows the report will likely never be completed, and so the issue of Russian hacking will hang like a cloud – like the “birther” rumors – over the Trump White House. While muttering about how the need for “transparency” might inspire the investigation into the hacking, the Times et al ignore the reality: the emails released via WikiLeaks that outed cheating by the DNC in favor of Hillary Clinton, or showed how disrespectful her camp was of Catholics and average Americans, actually increased the transparency of the election. The United States should not tolerate cyberattacks from a foreign government; nor should we tolerate cheating in our politics. Obama is still smarting from having put himself on the line during the campaign, telling the Black Congressional Caucus, for instance, “I will consider it a personal insult, an insult to my legacy, if this community lets down its guard and fails to activate itself in this election.” He made Hillary’s campaign all about him, but she lost anyway. That has to sting. Especially since Americans, in choosing Trump, also chose to undo most of Obama’s most precious accomplishments. On the campaign trail, Trump made no secret of his desire to toss Obama’s climate agenda, his Iran deal and, most importantly, ObamaCare. In recent weeks, he has nominated cabinet officials who are well suited to carrying out those promises. Lofting Scott Pruit, the Oklahoma Attorney General, to the EPA: good-bye overreaching anti-fossil fuel regulations. Rep. Tom Price for HHS: so long ObamaCare. “Mad Dog” Mattis for Defense: the Iran deal is toast. For a president who has put such stock in his “legacy”, and who took office being compared to Abraham Lincoln, the erasure of his eight years must be intolerable. What will be left of the Obama presidency, which chose to act unilaterally through executive actions and regulations rather than work through Congress? Not much. Actually, with his embarrassing reluctance to shoulder any responsibility for the drubbing given Democrats over the past eight years, his legacy will begin with a very sour taste in the country’s mouth.

Was there another time when a foreign country interfered with our election? I really don't know. Can you point out another time when this happened? I'm not trying to pick a fight with you, just asking. None that I know of. My point had nothing to with the past howerver. My point is the left is in so much denial over the election. Russian interference (if there really was any) would just help them continue to try and de-legitimize a Trump presidency. You know there has to be some other reason than Hillary jost lost to a.better candidate. No.way. Cause any thinking person would not vote.for Trump normally. So it had to be the Russuians! This appears to be all political to me at this piont anyway. The presidential election is about politics? Who knew? Look, I'm a progressive liberal, and I'm not in denial about anything. Trump won. From my point of view, that sucks, but there's nothing to do but move forward. I think the Ruskies probably did throw a bit of a monkey wrench into things, but we've done this lots of times to other countries. And crying about it won't help. The Dem's just need to find a better candidate next time. The more I thought about your post and the more I read the more I agreed with you. The US and the Russians have been messing with each other for decades. I now think, even more, that this is a fake news story with only one intent, diminish Trump as the details do not support the claim that the Russians helped Trump. Now this, http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-intelligence-idUSKBN14204E?il=0 It is looking like you were spot on. To the rest of you here. Give it a break. Clinton lost because she was a poorer candidate. "America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." Abraham Lincoln

Thanks for proving an earlier point I was making. But at least you think you know.... "America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." Abraham Lincoln

I'm glad I don't live in the world you do. "America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." Abraham Lincoln

The Dem's just need to find a better candidate next time. I apreciate your point of view. Also I hope the R's do better next time too. That said I hope that both candidates are outsiders as well.

He only hopes he is right...... "America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." Abraham Lincoln

x Given the short time it will be a political declassification at best. Giddy up. Hope you enjoy it "America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." Abraham Lincoln

Ditto "America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." Abraham Lincoln

Your guarantee means diddly squat to me.... "America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." Abraham Lincoln

Ya We all know that it had absolutley nothing to do with her being the most flawed candidate the Dems ever nomninated

Nope. And the fall out is going to be interesting. You have gotten your ass bit before bei g that sure of things. Didnt you predict a Hillary win? And I know you hope beyond words it is true. Me? I will wait for the proof... "America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." Abraham Lincoln

More fake news? Just like those here who said Hillary got the most votes ever We will see but I know that one makes you happy for now Bill. "America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." Abraham Lincoln

And yet with all this BS you still cannot win the bet. "America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." Abraham Lincoln

there you go confusing the issue again Maybe I should offer you $10,000 if you can prove man is causing significant warming of the planet. You can't but I can ask you to try. "America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." Abraham Lincoln

Only with manipulated data Maybe you can win the $100,000! https://wattsupwiththat.com/2016/12/08/global-warming-fails-the-random-natural-variation-contest/ "America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." Abraham Lincoln

rushmc is wrong. Wow, this needs to be recorded for posterity. Jerry Baumchen I am wrong I should have said a few of them not all....... "America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." Abraham Lincoln

Now that is just trolling To paraphrase an old quote: "Although it is not true that all Trump voters are stupid people, it is true that most stupid people are Trump voters." More trolling "America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." Abraham Lincoln

Actually Bill, the point was the planet was cooling at a rate not seen before. That is what the article said anyway. And since it has been pointed out here many times that the planet has been warmer and cooler in the past, YOU post about the unprecedented pace of the change. But you will ignore the pace of the cooling. Go figure. "America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." Abraham Lincoln

Now that is just trolling "America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." Abraham Lincoln

And if CA is removed from the count. Trump won the popular vote of the rest of the country since Hillary won CA by 2.3 M votes "America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." Abraham Lincoln

I want you to look at the attached. Source: https://www.google.com/finance?q=NYSE%3ABA&ei=BaNJWJHxHo6M2AaV2ILQCA Go ahead and take a careful look at it. What you're looking for is that vertical plummet right at the start of December 6. That's over 100 times the "penny" you said. That's movement that could not have been predicted by anyone without knowledge of Trump's tweet. The second thing I want you to look at is how many shares of stock are normally traded. The blue line just prior to then plunge in stock price before the tweet. See it? What's that about? I think it's worth somebody looking at. From CBS (I do not think the link you provided shows what you describe. Not saying you are wrong, But the link does not provide what you think it does for me) The market is always looking for reasons to go up and down. People make money when stock prices change. That said, personally I think there are better ways to deal with his thoughts. But I also do not think the impact was a big deal in the short run. I also think there is more to this than just the price of a plane. "America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." Abraham Lincoln

On that front, can you imagine if anyone had prior knowledge Trump would go off on a twitter rant about some company which would drive the price of stock down such as the Boeing thing within this last week? This is the thing I don't think Trump realizes; as President everything he says or tweets has a potential effect. It doesn't have to set off a nuclear war, but just temporarily move a stock price for a few hours and the implication of that and insider trading ought to give him pause. But it doesn't. I think he know exactly what he is doing. As for affecting a stock? A penny is a big deal?

Try it. I double-dog dare you. Jerry Baumchen Already did..... "America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." Abraham Lincoln
