What's worse:

1. Leaving 70 million Americans with the feeling that the election was stolen right before their eyes by a deep state that was left with only desperate measures to hold onto power being taken away from them by the voters?
2. Leaving the deep state with the feeling that admitting to the world that the most Democratic nation on the planet committed the most egregious voter fraud ever is not good for America?

The problem we face is that the traitors to the nation control the means of ferreting out traitorous behavior. They will never be held to account because they are the ones who do the accounting.

I think they are blind to the idea that if the American people can see the crimes right before our eyes, then so can the foreign leaders across the globe.

There is no putting this genie back into the bottle. Spoken or unspoken, the whole world knows what happened here. We can take the high road and try to make it right, or we can take the low road and pretend that everything was on the up-and-up, and the people voted for Trump's supporters and policies, but not for Trump himself.

For the power-grabbers, they live on the low road.

Finally, Mark asked the question that I've been wondering about.

The MSM assured us that the elections were not hacked because the voting machines were not connected to the internet. Now we're being told that they are.

Department of Homeland Security, October 7, 2016: Joint Statement from the Department Of Homeland Security and Office of the Director of National Intelligence on Election Security:

Some states have also recently seen scanning and probing of their election-related systems, which in most cases originated from servers operated by a Russian company. However, we are not now in a position to attribute this activity to the Russian Government. The USIC and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) assess that it would be extremely difficult for someone, including a nation-state actor, to alter actual ballot counts or election results by cyber attack or intrusion. This assessment is based on the decentralized nature of our election system in this country and the number of protections state and local election officials have in place. States ensure that voting machines are not connected to the Internet, and there are numerous checks and balances as well as extensive oversight at multiple levels built into our election process.

CNN, October 19, 2016: No, the presidential election can't be hacked:

The public is understandably concerned about the integrity of next month's election.

But election officials and cyber experts say it's virtually impossible for Moscow or some other outside group to influence the election outcome.

1. Why is it unlikely the presidential election can be swayed by a hack?

The American election system is decentralized by design, with state, county and local governments all managing voting. Even though many precincts use voting machines, none are connected to the Internet, nor are they connected to each other.

So, were they lying then or are they lying now?
