Well, Michael, maybe Sessions and Kushner and Flynn are just deep cover operatives. Kinda like sleeper agents. And then the biased, witch-hunting, sensationalist press had to go and blow their cover. Thanks a lot, American media: aka "enemy of the people."

Is this Bizarro World we are approaching?

Richard, Michael, forgive me but -- you two are sounding a bit like the Alt Left (see my tongue in cheek?).

But maybe this is where we'll be politically for the foreseeable future. Somewhere thrashing about in the ether of half-truths and subterfuge. Just call it Trump's superpower.

What used to be the Gray Area where truth lived has now turned toxic.

I almost can't believe--but I've this about so much--that Trump has gotten traction with his "Obama Wire-Tapped Me!" tweet. It had no evidence to it, but Obama, so a certain conservative portion of this country has eaten it up.

It's like he's figured out that to distract from his obvious corruption he can just yell "Obama!" and people will start to play the false equivalency game.

When Putin's bitch, Trump, invites the Russians in to take over it will be great for heavy drinkers! According to the Harper's recent Index, 10% of alcohol drunk by Russians is from household products and one third of Russian deaths are caused by vodka. I'll drink to that. And often.

PS: Don't miss the latest New Yorker on Puta's master plan, and if you haven't, pay close attention to Rachel on MSNBC. She connects the dots.

Yes, you can picture Bannon handing Trump his keywords for the day: Obama, Watergate, Nixon. He's been doing it since the campaign--a few sound bytes to blitz the press and distract people from real issues/worries/scandals. Like, say, Russia, and like, say, deregulation of Wall Street, guns, environmental protection, civil liberties . . .

Breitbart tactics transferred to the public relations of the Executive Branch. As the Daily What the Fuck puts it,

Sixty-million Americans voted for Trump because they could not stand the thought of one single hour with Hillary in the White House. Whose fault is that?

I remember O'bammy looking McCain in the eye and saying: We won, you lost, get over it.

Look where the democrat party is now; in the crapper, about to be flushed.

Confession of complete inability to understand the nature of the events unfolding, the nature of the resistance,and Pasternak
duly noted.

Glad to see your fascination with the powerful woman and the powerful black man are still the focus of your political analysis.

Love,

The 260 million Americans who didn't vote for this and aren't going to surrender to fascist morons just because a bunch of misinformed crackers got out of bed one Tuesday and marked a box on slip of paper.

Correction, Charlie. John feels "that" over here. Mostly we feel that Trump is as dangerous as he is behaviourally repugnant. 2 million of us - that's equivalent to c. 10 million Americans - signed a petition to Parliament to have his State Visit cancelled. Be under no illusions as to what he is doing to the reputation of the US - and, of course, ignore that if you wish.

Charlie: "Sixty-million Americans voted for Trump because they could not stand the thought of one single hour with Hillary in the White House. Whose fault is that?"

And now, looking back, what does that say about those sixty-million?
The "revolution" could've continued without voting in such a poor embodiment of the changes that need to happen in our country and around the world.

To continue to use the "Hillary is a Crook" rationale only gives me reason to suspect something else smells in Denmark.

The walls need mending. The swamp is Trump.

Another thing: An hour of Hillary? A month of Trump? Personally, here's what I can't get beyond: Trump lied and cheated his way into the presidency. There's no excusing that.
