In reply to the discussion: Trump's tweeting again tonight about hacking [View all]peggysue2
(12,534 posts)Ari Melber is sitting in for Lawrence O'Donnell and spoke with an intelligence officer who said Trump is basically running his own disinformation campaign. Against his own people. Us. He's willfully ignorant and appears to be purposeful in this anti-intelligence community mantra. Frum was also on and said Putin's purpose is beyond obvious--destabilize and weaken Western democracies, the US being the big enchilada. Having a willing puppet in the WH is a gift come true because Putin will, by default, be the world's most powerful leader after Don the Con's inauguration, pulling the strings here and throughout Europe. Ditch NATO, get rid of the UN and whip white nationalism into a frenzy.
It's working. No wonder those Russian officials were cheering and high-fiving after the election results came in. They won, bigly.
