2. Putin perfectly assessed the American electorate and the U.S. media, and made a move for the history books. He outplayed us.

3. Key to Russia's success was to have US accessories (witting or unwitting) in the media, on the left and on the right. They had plenty.

4. The plan: Render Hillary Clinton toxic to the electorate, intimidate her supporters, and run interference for Trump when he screwed up.

5. A Gallup chart illustrates the dramatic collapse of Hillary's public image. This was no accident. It took a massive coordinated effort.

6. Fake news stories, AstroTurf operations to overrun social media, daily leaks of stolen data, combined to damage Hillary and prop Trump.

7. A blunt force strategy: Make Hillary seem detestable in order to suppress Democratic enthusiasm and boost GOP rage/turnout in key states.

8. If it feels like the entire election became a referendum on how "monstrous" Hillary is, that was the idea. Executed nearly flawlessly.

9. It's an inescapable fact: Those who baselessly and relentlessly trashed Hillary's character unknowingly helped do Russia's dirty work.

10. As foreign meddling in our election became more and more apparent, people took sides, some becoming apologists, others being patriots.

Mike Flynn himself used a forbidden private internet connection at the Pentagon!
I think old man Flynn needs to be investigated!! Over a year and half of Hillary being grinded into pulp over her server and new we find this out and it is barely on the news radar!

If Flynn's office was a SCIF, he may have used the forbidden internet connection to bypass monitoring.

Donald Trump, in Louisiana, Says He Will End Energy Regulations

BATON ROUGE, La. — President-elect Donald J. Trump on Friday promised that his administration would strip away “job-killing restrictions” on energy production and begin building refineries in the United States, as he campaigned for Republican candidates in a state heavily dependent on the oil and gas industry.
“We will cancel the job-killing restrictions on the production of American energy,” Mr. Trump said in an airplane hangar in Baton Rouge, the day before Louisiana voters go to the polls to vote for Senate and House candidates. “We haven’t had refineries built in decades, right? We’re going to have refineries built again.”
His comments came the day after he announced he had chosen Scott Pruitt, Oklahoma’s attorney general and a staunch ally of the energy industry who has teamed with companies to undercut the Obama administration’s climate regulations, to be the Environmental Protection Agency administrator.

How Trump Can Influence Climate Change
A Trump administration could weaken or do away with many of the Obama-era policies focused on greenhouse gas emissions.

Mr. Trump pledged to enact a “massive” tax cut for the middle class, roll back Obama-era regulations, pass a $1 trillion infrastructure program and build a wall on the southern border to prioritize American people and jobs.

This photograph taken in Paris Friday Dec. 2, 2016, shows stories from USA Daily News 24, a fake news site registered in Veles, Macedonia. An Associated Press analysis using web intelligence service Domain Tools shows that USA Daily News 24 is one of roughly 200 U.S.-oriented sites registered in Veles, which has emerged as the unlikely hub for the distribution of disinformation on Facebook.

This week, a North Carolina man took an AR-15 rifle into D.C.'s Comet Ping Pong pizza restaurant to "self-investigate" a fake internet conspiracy theory involving Hillary Clinton, John Podesta and a child sex ring.
It's the latest example of the impact that "fake news" -- untrue or wildly misleading stories masquerading as fact, usually to appeal to a particular worldview -- is having on the real world.
Numerous reports have highlighted how fake news creators began targeting conservative readers after finding them receptive to stories that reinforced their existing worldview. As one fake news creator told NPR, "We've tried to do [fake news with] liberals. It just has never worked, it never takes off. You'll get debunked within the first two comments and then the whole thing just kind of fizzles out."
A Buzzfeed analysis found that three main conservative Facebook pages were roughly twice as likely as three leading liberal Facebook pages to publish fake or misleading information..................
