INVESTIGATE NOW!!

An investigation into Russian hacking of the Prez election must occur before Trump is inaugurated. Because this is unprecedented, and for the security of our country, the current administration should remain in place until resolved. Thankfully, President Obama is at 57% approval and Hillary received the majority of the popular vote. We shouldn't over estimate resistance to this.

Call Sen. Lindsay Graham and your Congressperson to push for investigation.

Unless you expect President Obama to just suspend the Constitution.

I suggest you look up the definition of "coup d'état". Interference from a foreign government in an election is not a coup.

Second, the Constitution is the law of the land, and being a Constitutional scholar himself, I can't imagine any scenario where President Obama would suspend it.

Doesn't have to fit a textbook definition.

KGB was assisted on the inside by white nationalists in the FBI.

Situational definitions.

So, you're on the record as being in favor of suspending the Constitution? If not, please correct me, as I don't want to put words in your mouth.

First of all, the constitution was already suspended by the theft of a free and fair election.

Secondly, hmm, if people's civil rights are being taken away, yes, the constitution should be reinterpreted or perhaps redrawn.

Sorry, that's a the time I have for this today. Back to work.

And it isn't up to a President, any President, to reinterpret the Constitution.

Official election results are starting to come out.

Remember when exit polls were only off by a couple of percent, now it's well over 12%.



In 2004, not one state over 5% red shift. In 2016, 11 of 20 states over 5% red shift.

Remember how bent out of shape everyone was in 2004 when exit polls in Ohio were off by a whopping three percent?

Remember when outside of margin of error was of significance? Well, statistics hasn't changed even if the world became stupid.



How do you say WTF? How frikking stupid do you have to be to believe this has a valid explanation within the bounds of statistics?

My husband told me that a Green friend voted for Jill Stein but when he looked at his County Bof E site it showed that not a single person voted for her. I do not think our votes are being counted fairly.
