Russia hacked U.S. presidential election for Trump, says CIA

The US intelligence community concluded Russia hacked emails to get Trump elected. Nevertheless Trump will be president.

Reality is like that, sometimes.

But the future CAN be changed. Step 1 is recognizing and accepting reality. Step 2 is taking action.

Unlike Mitch McConnell, who discounted clear evidence of an attack on our democracy because it profited his party (this time). He's broken his oath of office, and should be recalled. This isn't even a partisan issue.

Quote:
It is the assessment of the intelligence community that Russia’s goal here was to favor one candidate over the other, to help Trump get elected,” said a senior U.S. official briefed on an intelligence presentation made to U.S. senators. “That’s the consensus view.”

Actions, not words

Pay attention to actions. Appointing a radical climate change denier to head the EPA speaks far louder than all of the doubletalk, tweets, or meetings with Al Gore.
