U.S. intelligence officials now believe with "a high level of confidence" that Russian President Vladimir Putin became personally involved in the covert Russian campaign to interfere in the U.S. presidential election, senior U.S. intelligence officials told NBC News.

to go forward? Hillary Clinton was cheated out of being the President. So we sit back and say 'oh well'? The Electoral College should vote Trump out and Clinton in.

Wash. state Desk Jet, a DUer who's been here much longer than you or I deleted his dupe of the above when it was brought to his attention, and my newb ass deleted a different LBN thread yesterday when I realized IT was a dupe.

Not preaching. I just have a problem when someone who copies something I've written, is all, so I empathize with others in the same position.
