American elites are rushing to create a constitutional crisis as I write this, building up an immense head of steam (there was an 8,000-word article in the NY Times, fer goodness’ sake), and all for what? Stop and think for a moment: The Russians allegedly “intervened” in a US election. But what is it they are supposed to have done? They spilled the truth. Yup, that was their unfathomable crime… revealing the truth. That’s not exactly a problem, is it? And if it is, what does that say about the aforementioned American overlords?
I watched some of the news shows yesterday and also read some commentary. Without fail, they all treat the allegations of Russian hacking as undeniably true. No qualifications, no if's, and's or but's. It is now accepted with the same certainty and fervor as AGW. In fact, the way it is treated reminds me a lot of the climate controversy. This doesn't happen by accident. A bunch of "journalists" don't all wake up one morning and suddenly decide independently to treat unverified CIA conclusions as fact. They get their marching orders and they dutifully go out to do their assigned job of inventing facts and mocking anyone who questions it. They seem to have two goals. One, take people's minds off of the actual content of the emails and instead harp on the idea the Russia somehow stole our election, thus delegitimizing Trump. Two, limit Trump's ability to cooperate with Russia by painting any accommodation as a quid pro quo. We already have seen this with the neo cons pushing for new sanctions on Russia.
"Were it not for the Russian meddling [exposing the truth about Hillary and the media collusion with the democratic party] in our election Hillary would be president." fixed
Funny how similar even more damning info about Trump got ignored. The media were not critical of Trump enough. So Trumpers are now pro Russia and anti America.
Nothing got ignored about trump. You gotta be deranged to think so. So now hilbots are anti russia and pro america? After a lifetime of the opposite?
futurecurrents is still getting more unhinged by the day. nitro checked out our other lefties here are in various stages of TDS. One was really unhinged but may be in recovery. AAA points out 99% of the leftist media are so unhinged they care nothing about the fact the cia has told us nothing lately. The left had a few days of hope with the electoral issue but now and for the first 100 days after the election these guys are going to have to have their belts and shoelaces removed.
