I'm still digesting this but the dufus may also be a traitor. Holy shite. Yes, I realize the report is unconfirmed, etc., but Holy shite, it's pretty damning if only partly true. The worst parts to me are that Trump may've known about Russia's involvement in wikileaked documents (400 lb guy in a basement my ass), there was a coordinated effort between Trump and the Russians to exchange mutually beneficial information, and that may've helped Putin in his Ukraine bullshit. "In return the TRUMP team had agreed to sideline Russian intervention in Ukraine as a campaign issue and to raise US/NATO defense commitments in the Baltics and Eastern Europe to deflect attention away from Ukraine, a priority for PUTIN who needed to cauterize the subject." Oh, then there's the part about getting kickbacks from the Chinese and sexually perverted stuff at the Ritz Carlton in Moscow and the Russians having enough dirt to blackmail Trump later when they need to. https://www.buzzfeed.com/kenbensing...ties-to-russia?utm_term=.ikdkQ6DRp#.dwM3L9aql https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3259984-Trump-Intelligence-Allegations.html#document/p1
Stalin had some great titles: Vozhd ("leader") Joseph Stalin, dictator of Soviet Union has also been referred to as Father of Nations, "Great Leader", "General Secretary", "Generalisimus", "The Man of Steel", "Brilliant Genius of Humanity", "Great Architect of Communism", "Gardener of Human Happiness","Dear Father" I feel like we need to start giving them to Trump. "Gardener of Golden Showers" gets my vote.
After this election cycle, I have BSF (bull shit filter) overload. It's hard to tell what to believe anymore. Politics: the art of selling the un-sell-able and if it can't be dazzled with brilliance, baffle it with bullshit.
This stuff hasn't been confirmed. Of course, that didn't stop Comey from writing a letter about Hillary's emails a week before the election, that turned out to be nothing-- but he sat on this. Trump still won't release his tax returns, claiming no one cares, when polls indicate > 60% of people still want to see them. He also paraded tables of documents today claiming they were related to his divestiture of business-interests then refused to let the press look at any of them.
Smokescreen. I have to wonder what's going on behind the scenes while the public is consumed by this media frenzy. The media MO of 'manufacturing consent' has been active for awhile and only getting stronger with social media. Now, all an entity has to do is employ known methods of creating a viral story to really cause a stir. It's easier, doesn't cost much, and is quick and effective. Nothing needs substantiation any longer. There are only 2 types of people of varying degrees the media needs to sway: skeptics and people that eat it up.
