Donald Trump Is Getting Away With the Biggest Scandal in American History (psychosis alert!)
Mother Jones ^ | 6/5/18 | Corn

Posted on 06/05/2018 10:08:46 AM PDT by pabianice

An overseas enemy struck at the core of the republic—and it succeeded. Trump and his minions helped and encouraged this attack by engaging in secret contacts with Moscow and publicly insisting no such assault was happening. This is far bigger than a bribe, a break-in, or a blow job. And, worse, the United States remains vulnerable to such a strike.

Yet the full impact of this scandal does not resonate in the daily coverage and discourse. In many ways, the media presents the Russia scandal mostly as a political threat to Trump, not as a serious threat to the nation. And many Americans, thanks to Trump and his allies, view it as a charade. All this shows how easy it is for disinformation and demagoguery to distort reality. That is a tragedy for the United States. For Trump—and Putin—that is victory.

Since the Russian takeover is essentially complete, when do we all start speaking Russian?

I’ve heard a four year old make a more convincing argument as to why he should be allowed to eat cookies for dinner.

I have yet to hear how the Russians got myself, and family, friends, neighbors to get to the polls, and vote for the President today.

The media uses the Russia story mostly as a political weapon against Trump, rather than presenting it as a real threat to the nation. There is no effort within the media, the FBI, or the Deep State to protect against "Russia" happening again. It's all about delegitimizing the duly-elected President of the United States - treason, a coup, or sedition, depending upon the details.

It's too late to be "shocked, shocked I say" that no one takes "Russia" seriously when the breathless reporters and journalists don't treat it as real either. Of course it's a charade.

Worse, I read this obscene garbage and had to get a dampened cloth to clean the residue from the monitor screen.
Sadly there are people who will believe anything at all that criticizes President DJT.

We need to assign a special prosecutor with 200 of the best Liberal NYC and LA Democrat attorneys, NOW. (I always thought that this source was Pot Head news, it is, but now they are on Meth.)
