I'm not expecting anything because I'm numb from disappointment.

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.

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.
 
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.
 
Here's hoping for something rather than nothing.

I don't know what the vacation has to do with anything, guys. If something important happens, you just cancel the vacation and do it another time.
 
im going to guess the inauguration is going to be delayed till this investigation is over. More and more it seems that Trump is actually in bed with russia and is a plant.

If thats true than Trump commited treason and CAN NOT be POTUS.
 
I don't know. Some kind of sign that this country isn't going to turn into a Republican hellscape.

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.
 
oh shit what's happening
Probably nothing substantive. This could well be some trolling.
This will be some Civilization "Obama has denounced Trump" lame ass shit I can smell it from a mile away.
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.
 
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.

Complacency is what got us into this mess. It's time for action.

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.

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?
 
I think Fake News is actually becoming more of a problem on the left at this point. This is the shit you mock the other side for! "Big press conference Friday, I've heard it's Republicans in Congress saying they found Obama's real birth certificate and that he'll be tried for treason."

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.
