This Senator Is Hell-Bent on Getting Out the Truth About Trump and Russia (David Corn- Mother Jones)

[Mc Mike]

12. Excellent info in the article, Am. Thanks.

Just spitballing here, but I think that the repugs pulled their standard tricks here, committing treason and threatening civil war.

They showed they'll do anything for a win, even opening the door, to control of our nation, to a kgb strongman commie dictator who committed cyber espionage breaches of all kinds of secure American political and infrastructure institutions, for the purposes of getting the repug nazi elected.

The repug FBI partisans pushed false info about the Dem candidate being investigated for fake 'cybersecurity lapses', at the exact same time, right before the election. Corporate media trumpeted and flogged it. The Dem prez did not want to fire the repug FBI director and cause a media firestorm about a 'constitutional crisis', right before the election. (But notice how the Repug prez didn't mind firing that FBI director's boss, 2 weeks in, with no media hullabaloo about a 'constitutional crisis'). Every move the repugs made before the election showed they were daring Obama to 'start' a civil war.

Now we're in the novel position where we're supposed to 'seriously' discuss investigating the situation, with the repugs, about how the repugs and the commie dictator were in bed together to help the repugs win the election. The repug prez, the repug FBI head, and the repug party animals in the legislature will certainly give that notion all the attention they feel it deserves. Because they're so honest, and upright, and patriotic, etc.

I'm with your Sen all the way, he's 100% right. But the plutocrats that own the media in this country, whose interests lie with the repugs and fascism, wanted this outcome. Putting a Standard Oil of N J exec, who is Putin's special medal-awardee, in as Secretary of the State Dept, signalled exactly how aligned the interests of those plutocrats here are with Putin's interests. But the owners of Standard Oil own NBC, so go figure what kind of coverage we'll get from them on the issue.

Putin wanted dRumpf in, to screw up the country, to increase his own power and profit and control. Our plutocrats wanted that nazi puppet in, to increase their own power and profit and control. Screwing up this country gives our plutocrats more power and profit and control. They like war and depression, they never suffer and always win from those things. They love instability, it gives them an excuse to grab more power and control, more militarized police, martial law.

Environmental destruction leads to social upheaval (natural disasters, famines, droughts, pestilence, civil disorder, refugees, wars) and possible loss of control for our plutocrats, therefore is a driving force for the desire of our plutocrats for fascism, and Rex has very recently had 'troubles' for being a key part in his fine corporation's getting caught lying for decades about oil companies causing catastrophic climate changes, and covering up the scientific proof of it. That's just another key reason to look at dRumpfenfuhrer's appointment of this oil nazi to be our new Sec State, after dRumpf suspiciously 'won' against our old Sec State in the race for Prez, 'won' via cyber espionage from russian gov and our rightwing intel's agents.

The oil nazi end of our plutocrats threatened civil war, and the Dem prez and winning Dem candidate for prez did not want to be the ones who fired the first shot. The repugs signalled that they never cared about those kinds of niceties, and the repug owned media normalized it all.

I donated to Sen Wyden in the past, and am on his mailing list, and do e-actions he sends. He's doing the right thing, I'm with him all the way and am not advocating a defeatist viewpoint. But that's what he's fighting against, treasonous repugs threatening civil war, who never loved this country, and a corporate media that is owned by them. And Obama didn't want civil war.

That's one thesis, anyway.
