Even the right seems have to developed a sudden respect for the veracity of the Deep State intelligence. My, how far we have come since George Tenet issued his "slam dunk" summary of Saddam's WMD!
My biggest problems with "Russian Meddling" are these:
- Why? Russia's main export (outside of Vodka) is Energy. They have spend tens of millions to defeat fracking and pipelines in the US because they don't like competition (most businesses really don't!). They paid Hillary something around $50 million to gain access to 20% of US uranium reserves, so they certainly were not "anti-Clinton". Why would they work to get the most likely candidate to help the US produce more energy in office?
- How? No, I'm not Liz Warren saying hello. How did they 'influence the election"? By buying some bogus FB ads? By doing "fake news"? By helping release emails the D's had protected with a password of "password"?
The US MSM was a full time shill for Hillary and every week was a new thing that HAD to do Trump in. If you listened to NPR, his campaign was "hopeless", "over" and in "disarray" every week. Why Republicans were likely going to lose the house and the senate because of what a disastrous candidate Trump was. They were ALWAYS going to "replace him".
HOW did the Russians counteract BILLIONS of US media directed against Trump on a daily basis? I actually think I DO have the answer to this one! Hillary is certainly too smart to call half the electorate "irredeemable deplorables" on her own ... clear Russian trickery with her
If Trump is like me, he no longer believes ANYONE! Not our Deep State, not the Russians, and CERTAINLY not the media! ... not any side of it to do anything put put out stories to improve their ratings!
When you are leader of a failed state run by an Administrative / Deep State that is unaccountable to anyone and where the Sheeple have such short memories that I doubt they recall a decade ago when the CIA was considered completely unreliable.
In fact, on the left, way back to the Bay of Pigs, Vietnam, Iran, etc, the CIA or any "American Intelligence" was as much an oxymoron as "military intelligence"!
The left spent decades telling us this nation was "not a Christian nation"! and we finally believed them. They have spent at least since the '60s telling us how corrupt and untrustworthy government institutions like the military, the CIA, the FBI and the NSA are -- now they suddenly find them to be above reproach! Gee, that is really hard to understand!
Could it be that when all that matters is political victory, that you will take any position in order to make political points? Is Trump any different?
Who knows? We trust the Russians more than our own NASA to put men in space, perhaps they are better at intelligence as well? Or maybe just less political agenda driven than our own Deep State.
