According to a bombshell report from the Washington Post, the CIA concluded that Russia actively interfered in the election not just to destabilize our political system, but to actively elect Donald Trump.
This conclusion was not something they just pulled out of thin air. Intelligence agencies had arrived at their conclusion in September, and briefed a bipartisan group in the Senate and House about it then, along with President Obama. The President wanted to go forward with a full disclosure of the report, but Mitch McConnell quashed it, threatening to taint any disclosure with the claim that it was being made merely for political gain.
“It is the assessment of the intelligence community that Russia’s goal here was to favor one candidate over the other, to help Trump get elected,” said a senior U.S. official briefed on an intelligence presentation made to U.S. senators. “That’s the consensus view.”
In other words, there was active interference on the part of Russia not simply to destabilize our politics, but to actively elect one candidate over another.
McConnell was willing to let the Russians meddle in the election because his guy was getting the benefit of their work. This is outrageous.
In this case we are a lot alike Diogenes only in our case we would like to have an honest Administration and an honest Congress as well as an honest Judiciary Department. I think in this case we are also a lot alike that particular philosopher in the fact that like Diogenes could not find an honest man; for us there is no such thing as honesty in American politics today.
Just watched a very insecure Oprah Winfrey, who at one point I knew very well, interview a panel of people on 60 Minutes. The questions were biased and slanted, the facts incorrect. Hope Oprah runs so she can be exposed and defeated just like all of the others!

A woman I don’t know and, to the best of my knowledge, never met, is on the FRONT PAGE of the Fake News Washington Post saying I kissed her (for two minutes yet) in the lobby of Trump Tower 12 years ago. Never happened! Who would do this in a public space with live security……
(Trump lying about his sex life again. How many abortions do you suppose he is responsible for?)
The same day the Obama government announced the Russian hacking, was the same day of Trump’s bus grab statement. That bit of sexism would have knocked out any other candidate but the gross republican men thought it was great.
The press thought the bus story was a bigger than the Russians helping Trump.
Trump slams his attorney general again. This time, he calls on his millions of Twitter followers to “ask Jeff Sessions” why the Obama administration is not the focus of the special counsel’s Russia probe. Trump has routinely criticized Sessions over his recusal from the Russia probe.

I don’t know if he’s been involved in collusion, but he’s certainly involved in delusion.

Trump has never colluded with the truth to make our country a better place. He has only colluded with Russia to make it worse.

The truth has a strong liberal bias and is therefore unfair to the cons/repubs.
