Same. I've given up trying to predict/analyze anything that's been going on. I'm assuming it's going to be a stern "Russia's involvement in the election should be alarming for every American" and other stuff on the road ahead. Even if it was something substantial, I doubt anything is going to come from it.

What's the benefit of that? Seems like contradictory statements.
give em hell Obama
Pretty sure it's the Chaos Emeralds man
Only Congress has the power to do that, as the Electoral College is overseen by the Legislative Branch, not the Executive Branch.
It's happening.
Y'all wanted Metal Wolf Chaos to come to the US... Well here we go.

I'm saying he won't call out Trump. He'd sooner do the former.

He's going to give a speech about how 2016 was a shitty year but now that the holidays are here its time to celebrate peace. Be thankful for what you have (because it's all going away on January 20th), spend time with friends and family, blah, blah, blah, God bless America.
Then he'll fly to Hawaii where he will spend the next two weeks smoking weed and playing Pokemon Sun/Moon.

If it was anything serious, he wouldn't be going on vacation afterwards.

oh shit what's happening
I don't know. Some kind of sign that this country isn't going to turn into a Republican hellscape.
Yeah I'm not getting my hopes up at all.
If you seen a green notification on your phone for kik sometime in the near future, you're in luck.
Double points if it's from somebody asking how to play Stairway to Heaven.

I guess announcing that you're going to ignore elections, not step down and seize absolute power is something you'd want to keep as a Friday dump.

Probably nothing substantive. This could well be some trolling.
Real talk, we're going to see random junk from Trump every single day that might as well be one of those Civ announcements. Whoever he feels like yelling at or is mad at, on Twitter, some random meaningless threat. It'll carry the precise weight of those dreaded denouncements! I always made a point of conquering people who denounced me because I FREAKING HATE IT, especially on crowded maps. Same for the one-sided "we're worried about your..." warnings, too. Otherwise playing a peaceful game? Screw it. They have to suffer.
It's happening.
Still a more eco-friendly platform than Trump's cabinet.

Calling off the "orderly transition" would be absurdly stupid.
I doubt Obama is idiotic enough to do that. It would do great damage to the markets.
The "Russian" hack is certainly not good but that embarrassment is for the DNC.
It had no effect on the election, was barely a blip on the radar at the time. People in the rust belt already made up their minds long before.
Just people looking for someone to blame once again.

Why does the Left always roll over and die every time some opposition presents itself?
No, they actually didn't. The leaks were extremely important in the barrage of attacks hitting Hillary. It demotivated voters that would vote her. Over a million of people that voted Democrat down-ballot didn't fill anything for who they wanted the POTUS to be.
On top of that, a significant chunk of voters didn't make up their minds until the last week.
Remember that between Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania that Trump only won by less than 100,000 voters.

Yoooo Obama, can't you postpone your vacay one more month? Sounds like you have some work to do at the finish line and every last day counts

So, what action are you guys planning on doing in the real world?

What about that period earlier this year where ISPs were attacked across the country, resulting in widespread outages?
I remember at the time that people were accusing Russia, but did it end up being someone else?
This isn't fake news, this is speculation about something that's probably not going to amount to anything.
A Trump supporter fired a gun into a restaurant because he believed that it was home to a child sex ring. But sure, fake news is a bigger problem on the left. Both sides and all that.
This didn't just affect the DNC, though it did lead to their loss. The attack on the democratic process by a foreign body is attack on all Americans, whether you support Trump or not.
Don't you find it ridiculous that we have multiple news outlets confirming that Russians successfully influenced the election and that Putin probably had a direct hand in it--yet his approval rating has gone UP among Republicans? Or that our president-elect has been cultivating a relationship with this guy? Our president-elect, the man that benefited most from foreign influence on our election, is now cosying up to the party / person responsible for said influence? lol T
This isn't a case of, "Oh, hey. We won so I guess we can let it slide." The whole point is no, you (royal) did not win. The country, as a whole, lost.

Obama, save us.
Your point is largely true, but the poster you're responding to ain't on the left
Obama whispers "No"
Doesn't mean it shouldn't have happened.
