The Russian military hacked the Clinton campaign....

... the same day Trump publicly asked them to.

... Are we still rehashing 2016?

@GeistInTheMachine Yep. And we'll continue to do so until somebody gives us a straight answer.

If Trump had nothing to hide, he could have put this to bed 2 years ago. His persistent lying and evasion really haven't helped America...

@GeistInTheMachine would you prefer the cover-up to continue?

@WoodyAq It's done, dude. The situation is FUBAR.

America needed Trump to happen in order to shock it out of complacency.

Neoliberalism doesn't work long term for enough people, so you get Trump.

Either you fix the system from within, or you will get more and more Trumps.

@lorne13 The whole thing is farcical at this point. I've long since stopped following it.

Unless America deals with the root issues that led to Trump, it's not going to get better.

Trump is a symptom. The system is a mess.

We can't have more Clintons or Obamas.

Real reform is required.

@GeistInTheMachine I'm not sure that is a good rationale for negligence in national security.

@WoodyAq Tell that to the Electoral College, the Electoral winner-take-all system, and the voters themselves.

Yes, it was unfair what happened to Clinton, but the race shouldn't have been that close to begin with.

She messed up. Bigly.

@GeistInTheMachine That can be true, and it also can be true that Russia committed a major act of espionage against the US. At the same time.

Sorry, one does not cancel out the other. And we still have to take attacks on the US by foreign powers seriously.

@WoodyAq Yup. But good luck with that under the present system, and present administration.

You can't keep the same dysfunctional system and expect different results.
