[otto-san]

He got 270
he's in

They do accept the results - and they're appalled by what the people chose.

I guess that's the whole reason the hashtag "#NotMyPresident" exists, right?
it's so brimming with acceptance that you almost forget the rioting and the recount efforts and the attempts to change electoral college votes and all that jazz
or wait is that why the hashtag exists

It's a bit disturbing that Russia had its hands in our election, but I doubt they were singlehandedly responsible for swaying it.

yea the CIA's so sure that happened that we're not getting any evidence from them at all
like #Pizzagate and Cosby's/Annoying Orange's rape accusations
the degree to which people like to make stuff up in order to cover for their own forget-ups is astounding

can you show me how Annoying Orange has been part of the political establishment? actually curious

he's donated millions to the Clinton Foundation and other corrupt democrats in the past
also the people he's picking or considering picking for his transitional team are establishment Republicans and corporate lobbyist, he's cutting loads of taxes to (aka the people who hold power)

Being honest here, I think both the CIA and the FBI lying to sway electoral votes would be a bigger scandal than a foreign power attempting to aid a presidential candidate. The latter seems likelier.

down with the electoral college xd

In my experience, the former is far more likely.

[IkeTheGeneric]

In my experience, the former is far more likely.

You have no tangible experience in the political landscape

[Red Spy]

In my experience,

Did you work for the CIA or something

[IkeTheGeneric]

The latter seems likelier.

To add onto this, considering Annoying Orange's lenient stance on Russia, it makes sense that Putin would want to aid Annoying Orange's presidential career and see to it that those sanctions get lifted. Something comes to mind about Russia needing US companies to help drill for oil...

[Master Matthew²]

No, but I have seen that corruption has no loyalty or history.

Corruption can and will come from anywhere, if the motivation and means are there, it is possible.
If the Evidence supports it, it is probable.
If the Evidence confirms it, it is true.

But we have not even reached the second statement of those three statements, so all I can see is that foreign countries would have a disadvantage when it comes to attempting some form of voting fraud, both in terms of their country's reputation amongst the world, and in terms of the ability to do so without being caught.

Considering you pretty much admit earlier that this is the first cycle you started giving a stuff about politics, you're pretty much talking out of your ass. Why should anyone listen to you when you've done a bare minimum of research and are prone to stooping to personal attacks in political debates?

sauce?

It's figurative speech. They don't align with any of the crazy stuff, so they're not the people that his views represent. He's not their president. The recount efforts in some of those states were standard procedure. There's a certain amount of human error involved in massive elections, and if it could get us closer to not having a demagogue as president, I'd take that chance.

Perhaps if you guys were less concerned about the semantics of the anti-Annoying Orange backlash, you'd actually notice all of the crazy appointments he's making.

The CIA might not be able to release that evidence. Aren't you concerned about the confidentiality of government information? Wasn't that like, the entire crux of the Annoying Orangeian mantra against Hillary?

Also, Pizzagate was an invention of crazy, mostly-pro-Annoying Orange conspiracy theorists who read into the logo of some random pizza parlor and decided to go full-on lynchmob and ruin some random guy's life. What does that have to do with the CIA in the slightest, and why are you even bringing it up?
