It really is easy to spot a fake news story. Fake news stories are always just too perfect for the daily DNC talking points to be true. When I saw the breaking news that CNN was reporting the closure of the Anglo-American School in Moscow, I was almost certain it was fake news. Sure enough, a quick Google search yielded a story citing a named spokesman for the Russian Foreign Ministry.

Now, who are you going to believe, a US State Department source speaking to CNN or the Russian Foreign Ministry?

The answer is so obvious that it’s a rhetorical question. Thirty years ago ... heck, ten years ago ... I could never have predicted that the Russians would be more trustworthy than the US State Department.

I’ve said this from the beginning. Obama hates Clinton. He didn’t want her to succeed, he stabbed her in the back. Her reward for stepping down in 2008 and letting Obama be President promising her next time, you.

On one hand he would come out and campaign here and there; throw out a snotty remark, laugh, about Trump and Repubs. Then he would lay low until he was needed again.

Obama is in his element on campaigning- he just didn’t do much for Hillary at all for her campaign.

He wants the power for his Foundation post President- CF would be in competition with him.

I tend to doubt it, as it came too late to influence the recounts or the Electors. More like a last stab at trying to weaken Trump.

Government shaping the news ?

greeneyes :".. I’m from Missouri and I want to see the evidence.

Operation Mockingbird - Government shaping the news
Operation Northwoods and Mongoose - proposal for false flag on American citizens, to blame Cuba - vetoed by Kennedy.
CIA - Assassinations of world leaders, fomentation of instability to achieve regime change, hiring mob to do dirty works etc.
Gulf of Tonkin-excuse to expand the Vietnam War.

Just a few of the little Gems from declassified materials"

Thanks for the reminder !
What do all these things have in common ?
ANSWER : CIA, State Department, "Seventh Floor Shadow government", complicit press and media, complicit and feckless Congress, unwitting fools (but I repeat myself).

That’s different...a leftist source thinking for itself.

Democrat strategy is run by very old people who inaccurately assess Trump voters to be the same thing as Reagan voters from the 80’s.

You know that's a great point. The whole thing about the soviet union was they were a THREAT to the US at the time. Russia today? Not by a long shot. Instead it's ISLAM that's a threat today. The Dems are ALWAYS befuddled on what Americans think.

Even the very left leaning Ars Technica is very disappointed.

White House fails to make case that Russian hackers tampered with election

Most remarkable is the comments on the linked article. A LOT of crow being eaten there, as the comments on articles at this site are a hopeless SJW echo chamber

We can’t forget that Obama was telling illegals before the election that if they feel like citizens to vote.

I know. I can’t imagine how anyone can deny, with a straight face, that illegals vote. That’s like claiming underage teens never drink, because that would be illegal!
