The US is at war. That's probably not exactly news, as the country has been engaged in one type of conflict or another for most of its history. The last time we officially declared war was after Japan bombed Pearl Harbor in December 1941.
Our biggest undeclared war today is not being fought by drones in the mountains of Afghanistan or even through the less-lethal barrage of threats over the nuclear programs in North Korea and Iran. In this particular war, it is the US that is under attack and on the defensive.

You suffer from the same mental delusions I outlined. Evidence of the results of the attack? The people that get to see that are Senators, and the people providing the evidence is the U.S intelligence community.
It's a pathetic and weak dodge to claim liberal butthurt, when what we are talking about are FACTS. It is a FACT that the U.S intelligence community has found evidence that Russia interfered with, or attempted to interfere, with elections in all 50 states. They wouldn't state this without evidence, and the people attempting to debase and discredit the U.S Intelligence community always seem to happen to be Republican. Almost as if it were partisan bullshit....
Continue disputing facts while America falls to its enemies.

Nice bootlicking attitude there. You don't need to see any evidence because your betters have told you what to believe. Next you'll be touching your cap and saying "yes m'lud" every time one of them gives you an order.

Nice try.
On the balance of all the evidence, what reasons do I have to outright disbelieve statements from the U.S Intelligence Community? Why would the CIA, NSA, whatever lie about this?
Whatever reasons you have to distrust them, aren't nearly as rational or numerous as the reasons to trust them. What logic and wisdom is present when you ignore their warnings?
Respond with that. Actual constructive reasons, not QAnon-blah-blah-bullshit, but some positions that could survive a few moments of scrutiny by anybody with a few brain cells.

In other words: No evidence of success in changing one single vote. And only anecdotes and speculation of success of changing one mind. In point of fact even CNN admits it.

All the bullshit about Russians changing the election is based on tortured logic that somehow people would have voted for Hillary if those Wascally Wussians would have not bought some Facebook ads.
The Intelligence community as you call it has worked hard to discredit itself. Have you read the texts between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page? Did you know Andrew McCabe was fired for lying to the FBI while working for the FBI? Did you not see the train wreck Bob Mueller testimony to Congress? Have you not heard Clapper spew his hate as a paid CNN national security analyst? Democrats wanted Comey's head on a pike for reopening the email investigation. When Trump fired him, he suddenly became St. Comey the Honorable. Open your eyes and ears.
Perhaps the reason is because the "intelligence community" was as unhappy with the results of the election that Silly Valley, CNN, MSNBC and other special interests were.
The part that makes me most angry is the sheer unmitigated arrogance of the Democrat apologists. The push the theory that the only explanation for why someone would vote for Trump is that there are so stupid as to be swayed by a few ads on social media. You know, those halfwits that don't live on the East and West coasts. I can tell you now that that arrogance is exactly why I voted AGAINST Clinton. I would have voted for anyone but her. Remember the slogan? She exuded pure arrogance and contempt toward the worthless peons so much beneath her which she barely tolerated every time she opened her mouth. And she chuckled all the while she did it.
This is the same contempt I see here and Slashdot and Arstechnica. I will never vote for anyone who holds me and the rest of hardworking Americans who live in flyover country in such contempt.
