Russia's cyberattack on the U.S. electoral system before Donald Trump's election was far more widespread than has been publicly revealed, including incursions into voter databases and software systems in almost twice as many states as previously reported.
In Illinois, investigators found evidence that cyber intruders tried to delete or alter voter data. The hackers accessed software designed to be used by poll workers on Election Day, and in at least one state accessed a campaign finance database. Details of the wave of attacks, in the summer and fall of 2016, were provided by three people with direct knowledge of the U.S. investigation into the matter. In all, the Russian hackers hit systems in a total of 39 states, one of them said.
[...] The new details, buttressed by a classified National Security Agency document recently disclosed by The Intercept, show the scope of alleged hacking that federal investigators are scrutinizing as they look into whether Trump campaign officials may have colluded in the efforts. But they also paint a worrisome picture for future elections: The newest portrayal of potentially deep vulnerabilities in the U.S.'s patchwork of voting technologies comes less than a week after former FBI Director James Comey warned Congress that Moscow isn't done meddling.

You still don't get it: some of us supported trump because he's an idiot. You see, Hillary would have gotten away with the shit trump tries:she would have gotten away with fucking Americans ( just like she got away with fucking Bernie Sanders,,). Trump won't because he's stupid and we'd rather have a stupid person in charge and impeached instead of a (smart?) connected wily criminal in charge.
Hopefully after the impeachment they'll get Sanders as leader and HE will win.
And you heard it here first: sooner or later, George Clooney will run for Prez.

Great, Clinton would have been better at getting away with some kind of nebulous corruption, unlike Trump. Meanwhile, the Republicans are gutting the EPA, removing regulations designed to prevent another economic melt-down, and throwing tens of millions of people off their health insurance. Great planning.

Oh, we get it all right. You supported Trump because you are a fucking idiot.
Yep, you just proved how ignorant you are.

Not ignorant, just not a stupid American who wound up with the leadership you
didn'tget/got.I'm looking at your sour predicament from afar, my friend. Not far enough, but far.
Don't call me ignorant and an idiot-- YOU wound up with the leaders your parties picked... i can't help it if YOU wound up with choosing between an orange dust ball and a fucking criminal 'leader' who, when she lost to dustball, went off on long walks and drinking an ocean of wine leaving BERNIE SANDERS to pick up the real leadership of the party: doing the media interviews, going on tv, acting like a leader.
Everyone asked "where's Hillary": oh, yeah.... she's drunk and stumbling through the woods.
YOU aren't smart enough to see you got gipped: you SHOULD have had Bernie as a choice, and he probably would have won in my opinion. Instead, you got Trump and you got a leader who fucked Bernie over (fucked someone in her OWN PARTY) and would have fucked YOU over as well, just as easily.
I didn't vote for either of them, not being an American. Just because you are too stupid to see that you were fucked because Bernie was taken away from running (and hillary GOT AWAY WITH IT.... WTF AMERICA....WTF DID SHE GET AWAY WITH THAT???? FUCKING STUPID AMERICANS!!! (Not all Americans, though, just the stupid ones like you).
Hillary stole the leadership election from Bernie, then found out that American don't trust her and won't vote for her..... then she goes off crying and drinking and leaves THE GUY SHE FUCKED OVER to show true leadership and AMERICANS DID NOTHING! (And you wonder why anyone would vote for Trump over her?!?!?!)
Hope that Trump is impeached (probable) and that Bernie is apologized to and made leader of the DNC (possible? not american, so i don't know) and then he can win and reverse trumps dumps.
Don't call me ignorant and an idiot.... look in the mirror, American.

Trump: an idiot voted for by idiots. Hmmm...not quite the catchy campaign slogan for 2020.
Ummm...yeah. I think we can all see how that is working out for us. Thanks, dumbass!

You are fully aware that Sanders is too old and won't run again, and the impeachment will bring us president Pence instead?

Pence just hired a lawyer. [usatoday.com] The Speaker of the House is next in line after the Vice President.

Only if they both go at the same time, which isn't going to happen. If Trump is impeached, Pence will become President and then appoint a VP (who will need Senate confirmation) - it might or might not be Ryan.
The best outcome we could have would be an echo of the Agnew-Nixon-Ford sequence - get rid of Pence first, force Trump to appoint someone ('cause he can't just leave the office vacant), then impeach Trump - but I doubt that will happen. More likely is Trump is impeached or resigns (probably for "health" reasons - I mean really, have you seen this guy?) and then Pence would get to appoint someone as VP who would be such a bad choice for the top job as to make him un-impeachable.

Too long. Too coherent.
The Twitter-format is perfect for the original, don't ramble on without losing the point and changing topics every half-sentence.

Nope, didn't know that: i figured another election would get triggered at impeachment.
And Sanders should run... don't think you'd want Hillary as prez either.
