Jane Mayer: Politicians may be too timid to explore the subject, but a new book from, of all places, Oxford University Press promises to be incendiary. Cyberwar: How Russian Hackers and Trolls Helped Elect a PresidentWhat We Dont, Cant, and Do Know, by Kathleen Hall Jamieson, a professor of communications at the University of Pennsylvania, dares to askand even attempts to answerwhether Russian meddling had a decisive impact in 2016. Jamieson offers a forensic analysis of the available evidence and concludes that Russia very likely delivered Trumps victory.
The book, which is coming out less than two months before the midterm elections, at a moment when polls suggest that some sixty per cent of voters disapprove of Trump, may well reignite the question of Trumps electoral legitimacy.

This was all in play well before the 2016 campaign ever began.

(15,587 posts)3. This presidency should be annulled -- everything that has been enacted since
Jan. 22, 2017, 100% annulled. Russia should be slapped with sanctions sufficient to end Putin's reign quickly -- regardless of the harm those sanctions cause to innocent Russians (there has been plenty of harm caused by Putin here in America). And if the orange one in fact colluded, he should be executed for treason. Perhaps a few others as well, and long imprisonment for a number of enablers.
Maybe this isn't realistic, but it's common sense -- and it makes me feel a whole lot better just expressing it. This shit cannot be tolerated if we don't want it to happen again.
