Occupy was manifest in Bernie. It almost got a major party nomination.

Statement from POTUS

https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press...cyber-activity

I have issued an executive order that provides additional authority for responding to certain cyber activity that seeks to interfere with or undermine our election processes and institutions, or those of our allies or partners. Using this new authority, I have sanctioned nine entities and individuals: the GRU and the FSB, two Russian intelligence services; four individual officers of the GRU; and three companies that provided material support to the GRU’s cyber operations. In addition, the Secretary of the Treasury is designating two Russian individuals for using cyber-enabled means to cause misappropriation of funds and personal identifying information. The State Department is also shutting down two Russian compounds, in Maryland and New York, used by Russian personnel for intelligence-related purposes, and is declaring “persona non grata” 35 Russian intelligence operatives. Finally, the Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Bureau of Investigation are releasing declassified technical information on Russian civilian and military intelligence service cyber activity, to help network defenders in the United States and abroad identify, detect, and disrupt Russia’s global campaign of malicious cyber activities.

I love this, because it's true. How many Albertams blame Notely for the downturn in the oil patch ? A scary amount.

He is taking the credit for anything good these days, and I think, even the dumbest people are starting to catch on.

I loved this quote from Trump from a day or 2 ago

gawd, what an idiot.

The world is a far more complicated place than Trump can comprehend. He is a simpleton, and in waaaay over his head.

I liked the United Nations response to Trump's calling it a club for people to get together and have a good time.

Here's a list of 10 ways the UN makes a difference in the lives of millions every day.

Somehow, Donald knows a con artist when he sees one, and this woman is definitely a con artist.

"If you give me some money, god will make you rich".

Get rich by stealing from the vulnerable, desperate, and dumb, and you'll get the president's ear. The American Dream!

Incoming White House press secretary Sean Spicer I guess blames the victim rather than the perp?

"At some point, the question hasn't even been asked of the (Democratic National Committee): Did you take basic measures to protect the data that was on there?" said Spicer, who spoke shortly before the Obama administration slapped Russia with sanctions over the hackings. "Where's the responsibility of them to protect their systems?"

Spicer said the media had not properly scrutinized the DNC's lack of adequate cybersecurity.


http://www.cnn.com/2016/12/29/politi...ngs/index.html

---

Rep. Trent Franks (R-Ariz.) on Thursday appeared to praise the publication of Democratic emails, believed to be stolen by Russian operatives, on WikiLeaks.

"If anything, whatever they might have done was to try to use information in a way that may have affected something that they believed was in their best interests," Trent said on MSNBC.

“If Russia succeeded in giving the American people information that was accurate, then they merely did what the media should have done,” he added.

The diplomats might as well book return flights for when Doofy lifts the sanctions in three weeks. He'll probably demand that everyone who worked on the report be fired on top of it, and I don't doubt that he'll get it.

Trump and his sycophants will call the reports "fake news" and blame Obama for everything, and the people he needs to believe him will do just that.

Pffft, they forgot their best reason for existence of all.

To suckhole tax revenue from member states in order for non elected bureaucrats to draft and dictate policy and legislation for said "sovereign" member states.
