Clinton campaign supports intelligence briefings for the EC

Basically means the candidate has walked back her "Open mind and a chance to lead" plea and wants the EC to elect someone besides Trump, preferably herself.

No, it just means they support the idea that the people who have the greatest responsibility in the world--electing the US President--need to know the full extent of the CIA's findings.

Clearly having lost the election all the democrats and their left-wing media allies can do is try and deligitimize Trump.
First nonsense about hacking and ridiculous recount in WI, which of course resulted in a net change of only 162 vote gain for Trump.
Next an attempt to get Republican electors to change their vote for Trump that even resulted in death threats.
Now an unsubstantiated, unproven, repudiated claim that Russia influenced the election by telling the truth about the democrats by releasing unedited emails?

I'll give you unproven (unfortunately the way that the CIA operates it is very difficult for them to "prove" anything without giving away their methods and thus destroying their very reason for existence....frustrating but necessary nonetheless) but unsubstantiated and repudiated? Seriously? Do you really have that little faith in intelligence officials who have made it their life's work to know such things?

And for your claim of repudiated, what evidence has been presented that the CIA's findings are false?

Between this and the recount effort, it seems democrats may never be able to emotionally accept that Trump won the election.

i hope not! surrendering to fascism hasn't worked out too well for, well, anyöne ever.

How is Trump a fascist?

From Wikipedia:

Fascists believe that liberal democracy is obsolete, and they regard the complete mobilization of society under a totalitarian one-party state as necessary to prepare a nation for armed conflict and to respond effectively to economic difficulties. Such a state is led by a strong leader—such as a dictator and a martial government composed of the members of the governing fascist party— to forge national unity and maintain a stable and orderly society. Fascism rejects assertions that violence is automatically negative in nature, and views political violence, war, and imperialism  as means that can achieve national rejuvenation. Fascists advocate a mixed economy, with the principal goal of achieving autarky through protectionist and interventionist economic policies.


For the record, I don't think Trump is a fascist. I don't think he has any overarching ideology beyond amassing as much power and influence as possible. However, he has largely used the same playbook as fascist movements in accruing that power.

"Amassing as much power and influence as possible" is precisely what fascists support and do.

Spoiler alert: The electoral college doesn't choose Hillary.

Of course not, but if Trump is being investigated for possible assistance in (or at least knowledge of) election hacking, they quite possibly won't vote for Trump, either.
