Obama: “no rigging” in elections, yet did nothing about known Russian hacking

Right. Not interested in doing anything when the Demorats have insisted stridently that the elections were not rigged. Until they were. Here is Barack Hussein Obama extolling the virtues of the elimination of whining.

Please note that Mr Obama stated there can be no voter fraud and no “rigged elections” because they are “so decentralized.” Remember this insistence? Hold that thought.

But wait. Who actually attempted to hack American election infrastructure for punitive reasons and was caught doing so red-handed? That’s right, the DHS/NSA under Mr Obama, because certain states refused to go along with the Obama administration’s insistence that their election systems do become centralized. From ZeroHedge.com:

In Stunning Last Minute Power Grab, Obama Designates Election Systems As “Critical Infrastructure”

by Tyler Durden

In a stunning last minute power grab by the Obama administration with just 14 days left in his Presidency, the Department of Homeland Security released a statement this evening officially declaring state election systems to be “critical infrastructure.”  The statement from DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson defines “election infrastructure” as “storage facilities, polling places, centralized vote tabulations locations, voter registration databases, voting machines” and all “other systems” to manage the election process…so pretty much everything.

I have determined that election infrastructure in this country should be designated as a subsector of the existing Government Facilities critical infrastructure sector. Given the vital role elections play in this country, it is clear that certain systems and assets of election infrastructure meet the definition of critical infrastructure, in fact and in law.

I have reached this determination so that election infrastructure will, on a more formal and enduring basis, be a priority for cybersecurity assistance and protections that the Department of Homeland Security provides to a range of private and public sector entities. By “election infrastructure,” we mean storage facilities, polling places, and centralized vote tabulations locations used to support the election process, and information and communications technology to include voter registration databases, voting machines, and other systems to manage the election process and report and display results on behalf of state and local governments.

But wait. Just what was this, other than a naked attempt to literally subvert the Constitution to achieve the goal of federalizing elections under the guise of security. Translation: “it’s for the children.”

This leads to: anyone remember when the DHS tried to hack the Indiana election system whilst Mike Pence was governor, in a punitive retribution?

From the DailyCaller.com:

EXCLUSIVE: Obama’s Feds Tried to Hack Indiana’s Election System While Pence Was Governor

by Richard Pollock
 
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials tried to hack Indiana’s state electoral system with at least 14,800 “scans” or hits between Nov. 1, 2016, to Dec. 16, 2016, The Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group has learned.

The attacks are the second confirmed IT scanning assault by DHS officials against states that resisted then-President Barack Obama’s attempt to increase federal involvement in state and local election systems by designating them as “critical infrastructure” for national security.

So wait; you mean Mr Obama lied about embracing the decentralization of our election system? Instead, he wanted to centralize the entire system — in truth, making it even easier to hack by bad actors across the globe — to include Russia?

In a word, yes.

So wait, you mean Mr Obama knew about Russian involvement in trying to meddle in US elections and did nothing about it?

In a word, yes.

Top ranking Demorat Adam Schiff thought so. From FoxNews.com:

Obama should have done more to counter Russia’s election meddling, top Dem says

Rep. Adam Schiff, the top-ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said Sunday the Obama administration should have done more to counter Russia’s meddling in the U.S. election.

“I think the administration needed to call out Russia earlier, needed to act to deter and punish Russia earlier, and that was a very serious mistake,” Schiff, of California, said in a televised interview with CNN.

Schiff added that President Barack Obama may have been worried that doing more against Russia would have looked like he was “trying to tip the scales for Hillary Clinton” and did not want to give in to the notion that the election was “rigged” against Donald Trump, according to The Hill.

So wait, you mean Mr Obama knew about Russian involvement in trying to meddle in US elections and did nothing about it?

In a word, yes.

Senate Demorat Mark Warner thought so.

From the WashingtonFreeBeacon.com:

Warner Admits Obama Administration ‘Choked’ in Handling Russian Interference

by Jack Heretik

Sen. Mark Warner (D., Va.) admitted on Sunday that the Obama administration “choked” in its handling of Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.

Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, made the comment to CNN’s Fareed Zakaria, who asked Warner if he believes the Obama administration mishandled Russia’s interference in the election.

“With the value of hindsight, yes.”

Criticism has swirled recently around the Obama administration’s handling of Russian meddling. Former Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson, who served under former President Barack Obama, told lawmakers less than two weeks ago that the administration delayed taking action against Moscow after it learned of the Kremlin’s cyber and disinformation campaign.

Newt Gingrich thinks that because Obama helped create it, he should have to testify about it.

But why all of this, you would naturally ask?

For one, Obama did nothing with the Russians because he had previously mocked Romney over the same thing during the last debate. Let us recall.

The other and most foundational reason?

Obama, the Demorats, the DNC, Hillary Clinton, no one believed that Donald Trump had the wherewithal, the fortitude or the votes to defeat the next Anointed One for the White House, a second Clinton.

Their world, that of the Demorats, fell apart the night of November 8th, 2016 and the morning of November 9th, 2016.

The brain-glazingly irrepressible hypocrisy commenced directly after.

The bleat became “Russia Russia Russia” because it was all they truly had. They ripped a page from the screaming playbook of Josef Goebbels insofar as a lie told a sufficient number of times because a propaganda truth.

This became the meme of the Demorats and all their sycophants. I asked then and I ask now: Russian hacking? Where is the proof? Russia actually influencing the election? Where is the proof? 16 intelligence agencies all agreeing that the Russians hacked our election? Where is the proof?

Instead, the only proof or evidence we find laid at the feet of the Demorats.

The very people responsible for instigating all of these so-called “investigations.”

Further, the purposeful obfuscation, non-coverage and absolute LIES promulgated by the American Media Maggots on behalf of only the Demorats? The fake news?

Beyond sad.

Dangerous.

Charlie Rose embarrasses Nancy Pelosi

Charlie Rose, the Leftist American Media Maggot. Well, no different than the rest of them. So what do you have when even Charlie Rose throws something other than a puffy little softball to Nancy Pelosi?

You have problems. Despite the “fact” that you are — ahem — a “master legislator.”

It’s also a pretty clear indicator that things are going wrong when even Charlie Rose cuts you off.

The temper of the times? Or another in a long and continuing series of lumbering, ponderous clues indicating the Demorats are in some serious cat crap?

And still the Demorats think nothing’s wrong.

Just ask them.

And Demorats think Trump’s lost his marbles?

Fig. 1: Nancy Pelosi meeting with Russians. Remember, Nancy Pelosi insists she never met with any Russians.

I think they’d best turn that all-encompassing marble-like eye inwards and examine their own House Minority Leader, Nancy Patricia D’Alesandro Pelosi, whose blathering is all too evident in this video, displaying actual marble loss.

Pelosi had lost track of time, of day, of the issue at hand, but had a firm grasp on gibberish.

As Pelosi approached the podium on Thursday, she muttered to herself on the hot mic, “It’s afternoon. It is afternoon. Good afternoon everyone.”

She then immediately got confused about what time of day it was.

“Thank you for being here. I’m honored this morning, or now afternoon…” she said. She went on to refer to her Democratic colleague as the “chairman” of a committee, before correcting herself and calling him the “ranking member.”

Going off script proved to be a disaster.

While denouncing Republican attempts to replace Obamacare, Pelosi said, “And what does that mean? Higher costs, fewer benefits, uh, terrible age tax undermining Medicare, uh, uh, stealing from Medicare and Maid-icaid, as I should have said,” mispronouncing the word.

But no, Pelosi’s just fine. Nothing to see here. Instead, it’s Donald Trump who’s the nutter and who must be removed under the 25th Amendment. From the UKDailyMail.com:

Two dozen Democrats get behind bill to lay foundation for removing Trump for being mentally ‘incapacitated’ (but they’d need Mike Pence to agree)

by David Martosko

  • 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution allows Congress to set up a medical commission that could determine if a president is fit for office
  • The president’s cabinet is also allowed to serve that purpose, but Congress has never established its own group to participate
  • Either panel would require the vice president to agree before Congress could vote to remove the president
  • A Maryland Democratic congressman is trying to set up a commission to target President Trump, tweeting: ‘Trump’s mental incapacity is no laughing matter’
  • Plan has only attracted Democratic cosponsors so far
  • Senate that passed 25th Amendment agreed ‘inability’ meant a ‘mental debility’ rendering a president ‘unable or unwilling to make any rational decision’

A Democratic congressman has proposed convening a special committee of psychiatrists and other doctors whose job would be to determine if President Donald Trump is fit to serve in the Oval Office.

Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin, who also teaches constitutional law at American University, has predictably failed to attract any Republicans to his banner.

But the U.S. Constitution’s 25th Amendment does allow for a majority of the president’s cabinet, or ‘such other body as Congress may by law provide,’ to decide if an Oval Office occupant is unable to carry out his duties – and then to put it to a full congressional vote.

Vice President Mike Pence would also have to agree, which could slow down the process – or speed it up if he wanted the levers of power for himself.

The 25th Amendment has been around since shortly after the John F. Kennedy assassination, but Congress has never formed its own committee in case it’s needed to judge a president’s mental health.

Why is Donald Trump insane in the eyes of the Demorats, you ask? Because he dares to defend himself against baseless accusations and has had to do so since installation as president on January 20th of this year.

He is under assault daily by politicians, the DC Beltway Elite EstabliHacks on both sides of the aisle, the American Media Maggots, Demorats, Leftists, Progressives, Anarchists, so-called “celebrities” and GOWPs across the pond in the European Union who hate that Trump refuses to kowtow to their Globalist, Socialist, United Nations-driven One World Barbecue demands.

Let’s get back to honesty and clarity, shall we? Let’s put ourselves back on the ground and deal with reality. The primary motivating factor behind everything the DC Establihacks, Demorats, Leftists and the American Media Maggots are doing is this: they have not yet transitioned over to November 9th of 2016. They are still stuck on Tuesday, November 8th. They cannot believe — and will not believe — that Donald Trump is now the 45th President of the United States.

All their well-placed, entrenched, corruptive plans found themselves cast aside because the rabble, the commoners, the groundlings, the proles, the serfs, the unwashed filth like you and me had the temerity not to vote for Hillary Rodham Clinton. It’s not fair they wailed! It was her turn, they babbled!

Donald Trump is a bare-knuckled fighter. He is a business brawler. He isn’t politically correct and he’s crass and sometimes rude, brusque, crude and cringeworthy. But he is everything but insane. Or perhaps the phrase “crazy like a fox” comes to mind.

He is doing what people elected him to do. At least attempt to drain the swamp and to turn DC upside down. He is upsetting most everyone’s well-groomed and cultivated, lengthy tenure at the government tit, Taxpayer Milk flying everywhere.

Tits, tits, tits, the DC EstabliHacks cannot be removed from their government tits! Think of the loss, the carnage, the people who might actually have to be accountable and hold a modicum of responsibility! Who might actually have to do some — work! Who might actually have to — gulp — produce some kind of measurable work product! Oh the pain, the pain, the unmitigated potential pain!

The milk must flow because the Free Cheese must be made as, with the Free Cheese, also come the all-hallowed, almighty vote!

The spice must flow, and the spraying Taxpayer Milk must continue unabated at all costs! At every cost! They must fight, I tell you! They must fight for their phony-baloney jobs. They are fighting for their very lives.

And fight they will. Fight they must. Everything in their world is at stake.

Didacticity over. Temporarily. Until my next post.
