Russians attempted to hack the election in 21 states or not...

We've seen this dance before.

  • Somewhat flaccid set of circumstances come about
  • Someone decides to turn molehill into mountain
  • Everyone starts to report on big development
  • The snowball gets larger and larger until
  • Eventually the original truth nudges forward 
  • We realize that we were once again "had"

"That's it! Nullify the election results!"
This time it was all about the rumor that the Russians used cyber-warfare and "targeted" the election results in 21 states. This prompted many on the left to demand full scale investigations into why the government covered these nefarious actions up. There were even more than a few calls to have the election results "nullified" based on this grand new scandal of information.

Only problem is that it wasn't actually true. The Department of Homeland security "did" in fact tell 21 states that their computer security was at risk, and that there was evidence that foreign agents (including some IP addresses tied to the Russians) had scanned their systems possibly looking for breaches of security that they could hack past. But as far as anyone has been told, none of the systems being scanned had anything to do with the election or their election records or their election results, and there was not any actual evidence that anything other than scanning was done. 

It begs the question. Will the left "ever" really get over the 2016 election loss?

Remember when guys used to claim to think about "baseball" to hold themselves back and last longer?

Just think Rachel Maddow - and I challenge you to not get "flaccid".

You would either be called "Superman" or you are a seriously sick puppy.

Port scan, how scary. Any 10 year old who downloaded a script could have done it.
