Maybe Trump was too busy watching RT and swooning over his latest love letter from Putin...

<O>

Today the intelligence community will meet in Trump Tower with POTUS elect Donald Trump ... they will play the tape of the Russians cheering the news that Donald Trump won the election and the admittance that they engineered
this final victory over their hated foe Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump will say, "What's wrong with that"

Seriously though why can't someone make a list of the lies the Russians have told in all of this versus the truth that the hacked emails provided?

Why did Donald win the red states and Hillary win the blue states? Was that from Russian interference?

I don't think so

Trump is going to spend the next four years blaming Obama for everything.. even for the stuff Obama did not do.

Maybe. It is after all what Obama did to his predecessor and he managed to get away with it for 8 whole years.

...and probably keep taking credit for those things Obama did right and for the fact he, Trump, is being handed a fairly good economy and far more stability than was the case in 2008...

Let's be clear here: Trump is not, by any means, the best person to hold the office of POTUS and is not, by any means, the solution to the problems faced by the US; in this past election, the US electorate was faced by a "lesser of two evils" situation in the extreme (or, as Stephen Colbert referred to the mess, "The evil of two lessers"); if you are presented with two pills to choose from, one cyanide and one strychnine, no matter what your ultimate choice, it is going to be the wrong choice for you and your situation. If Congress, and particularly the GOP members of Congress, had any sense, they would, in effect, ignore Trump and his lunacies and get down to really addressing the nations problems, not trying to score political brownie points for their parties...

Allegedly the US security services use the data from a private security company, hired by the DNC.

I can be wrong but it appears that the DNC is basically feeding the US security services whatever it wants.

Do you have a verifiable, legitimate cite for this information? Please share...

I use term "allegedly" for a reason, as the source is not verifiable at the moment (as I assume that you do not take sources such as Trump's tweets at face value, nor should you). Still if those allegations turn out to be true, it would be most amusing.

I think that possibly the only person that takes Trumps tweets at face value is Trump, and why not, the man after all is a dipstick !

Just as an aside, do you have any knowledge of the Russian cyber efforts to spread disinformation and confusion by having Russians post spurious and inaccurate information to social media sites and forums on behalf of the Kremlin? Seems to have been going on for some time; here's a couple of cites:

Trump could walk on water, and the media would report that Trump can't swim.

Well, his hair is quite likely a flotation device...

...not to mention his inflated ego...
