The main conclusion of the massive Mueller report was that the Russians conducted a sweeping attack on America in order to put Donald Trump in the White House. Every single sentient American knows that happened bar one.
Today, Donald Trump called the man who ordered and oversaw that attack, had a private conversation with him (as he has ever since the attack), then denied the attack took, stated our enemy "smiled" at the report, and pretended the report exonerated him (which it did not.)
He also stated that he did not seek in any way to forestall future such attacks, as in the case of the 2020 election during which he will be up for re-election. I am tempted to say it is behavior that even the brashest criminals would not stoop too.
But that would be wrong. Because these two criminals--Putin and Trump--men who stole an American election by working in tandem and men who have both been richly rewarded for their crimes--are just that brazen.
They are rubbing our noses in it even as their capos like McConnell, Barr and Graham are working to defend them and thereby enable future crimes including the theft of the next election and Putin's ultimate goal, the gutting of American democracy,...
the undermining of our standing in the world, and the end of American leadership as we have known it all our lives. That is what Putin's little smile was for. It was a smile of satisfaction that his useful idiot of a counterpart did not recognize as such.
That's what happened on that call today. They're laughing at you America...not just at the opposition who vocally oppose Trump, Putin and the threat they oppose, but especially at the Americans who have been suckered into their cynical and thus far successful game.
