Russia compromised seven states prior to 2016 election

EDIT: jesus fricking christ. yes, Obama fricked this up, he should have done more and now the problem is bigger than it needed to be. if you NEED to assign blame, there, we've done that. but now we still need to fix this problem

assuming he had no knowledge of it, and afaik there's no direct link so far to suggest that he did, i dont even care anymore if Russia changed a few votes and helped get Trump the Presidency.

Hillary was an abysmal candidate and even worse person, frick her, and its not as if we're gonna undo the entire election and shes president now or any shite like that, but people REALLY need to take this more seriously.

The U.S. intelligence community developed substantial evidence that state websites or voter registration systems in seven states were compromised by Russian-backed covert operatives prior to the 2016 election...the states (involved) were Alaska, Arizona, California, Florida, Illinois, Texas and Wisconsin.

The officials say systems in the seven states were compromised in a variety of ways, with some breaches more serious than others, from entry into state websites to penetration of actual voter registration databases.

2016 wasnt just some prank, its not as if theyre gonna stop now. that was just practice (hopefully. Wisconsin is one of the states listed and it was heavily leaning blue. then suddenly Trump won it by 0.8 percentage point)

Russia doest give a shite about right or left, they'll bribe whoever takes the money, all the want is to destabilize the US and a long list of other countries. we cannot fricking allow this.

jesus, i cant believe i actually had to type that out.

yet, last week, Paul Ryan essentially "fired" the head of the agency who is in charge of securing elections from hackers. that might not be an issue if we had his replacement lined up, but we dont. and it will probably take a very long time until we do.

Trump had 636 executive branch positions to fill when he came into office. at the moment, only 267 of those have been filled. that's over 100 more that are empty than are filled.

NSA director Mike Rogers testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee yesterday and said Trump has given him no orders at all to do anything about Russian tampering. this despite the mountain of evidence that they are actively doing it.

so what happens in 2018 or 2220? because, as you all have noticed, the Russians were in bed with the democrats too. i promise you wont be happy if therye behind the blue tsunami.
