Washington Post's Karen Tumulty Compares Russian Trolling to Pearl Harbor Attack
Newsbusters ^ | February 19, 2018 | P.J. Gladnick

Did you know that the Russian trolling during the 2016 election was so horrible and transformative that it compares to...the attack upon Pearl Harbor? While you chuckle over that observation, keep in mind that the absurd comparison was made by Karen Tumulty of the Washington Post.  

Tumulty's hostility towards the president comes out in the very title of her laughable February 18 premise, We’ve just hit a new presidential low:

Yeah, great idea she has. Be on a war footing with Russia for the high crime of ineffective trolling.

Because 13 Russian trolls sank battleships, strafed airfields and killed and injured thousands of Americans...

Now the question is - where are we going to build a memorial to the victims of the Russian troll attack? CNN Headquarters?

I wonder what she thought of Ted Kennedy actually colluding with the Russians to undermine Reagan in the 1980s.

It doesn’t matter. The association between Russian’s and Trump has already been entrenched though 18 months of propaganda blitz. So now, there are no questions about effect, or facts, or common sense. There is only feeding flames, stirring pots, and beating dead horses

Knock it off. 63 million of us are guilty of this terrible crime. :)

13 Russians and 63 million Trump voters indicted for meddling in US elections by voting for the wrong candidate!

Mueller charges 13 Russian nationals, formerly known as Trump fans, and 63 million Americans, for meddling in US elections by voting for the wrong candidate.

Mr. Mueller added that up to 63 million Americans who disparaged Hillary Clinton by voting wrongly can expect a fate the same as the Russians, er, white males, and will get deported back to Moscow where they belong. Mr. Mueller did not rule out capital punishment. The assembled reporters wearing Hillary 08 lapel pins rose in unison, stamped their feet and cheered, as MSNBC’s Chris Matthews vibrated in the front row as he was having thrills run up his legs.

The indictment stated that these foreign agents, aka, white men and women wearing MAGA hats, wrote anti-Hillary diatribes in the reader’s comments in the nation’s conservative journals and on the GOP website. To add insult to injury, they not only refused to watch the Fareed show on CNN, but congregated among other like-minded “Russians” at Tea Party events to freely spread vile, poisonous, unnatural and treasonous ideas right out of the US Constitution, Thos Paine’s Common Sense, Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged, the Bible, and the Federalist.

The indictment said that some defendants “communicated with unwitting individuals associated with the Trump campaign named Donald Jr., Ivanka, and an evil Little Me midget only identified as ‘Baron,’...” without disclosing their links to Russian dressing, subversive books by Leo Tolstoy, and sour pickles imported from Volvograd.

The indictment charges all defendants with conspiracy to defraud the Clintons, Barack Obama, and Nairobi, Kenya, all of whom correctly voted for Hillary. Most disturbingly, said Mueller, all they got for their efforts after having spent $1.2 billion for the campaign were red MAGA baseball caps. Three other defendants were charged with conspiracy for having an opinion other than that approved by the Reverends Jeremiah Wright, Jesse Jackson, and Al Sharpton. Five defendants were charged with aggravated FAKE NEWS that departs from the Current Truth which states that the US economy is in free fall and Hillary Clinton is the nation’s legitimate president.

The illegal voting by Trump fans under Russian control to get a Russian spy elected to the nation’s highest office was a Vast Right Wing Conspiracy against Hillary Clinton, Mueller said. He added, “After all Hillary did win the presidency and the popular vote of Mahattan’s Upper West Side, Brooklyn’s Park Slope, and Berkeley and Hollywood. It would be proper for these areas to choose America’s president, after all the rest of the nation are morons and should have no say in the matter” said Mueller.

The Kenyanesian Usurpation was Pearl Harbor, the sinking of the Lusitania, the sinking of the Maine, the attack on Fort Sumter and the burning of Washington rolled into one and it was done by BOTH of our political parties.

If we’re going down the Pearl Harbor comparison road, I believe Trump should respond just as FDR did after Pearl Harbor. He needs to round up all reporters from the mainstream media and put them in internment camps...

If only Mitt Romney knew that an election can be won by Twitter and Facebook alone he wouldn’t have wasted all that money on advertising.
