Ahhh, the tremendously astute analysis of CNN. Probably derived from skid mark analysis of Don Lemons under shorts.

This is getting like the Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoon. Everytime you turn on the TV, there’s Boris Badenov (the Russians) battling our hearty crew of CNN (played by Bullwinkel).

The left has completely lost its marbles. President Trump and Russia both live rent free in the minds of every idiot liberal in this country. All opposition to liberalism will be accused of being a Russian puppet! As we speak some of them are trying to convince themselves that we Deplorables don’t exist and we’re actually a Russian bot and a Putin inspired operation.

Everything Democrats disagree with is now Russia's fault.

Yep, that's a brilliant strategy alright! (/sarcasm)

Obviously this is all wacko coocoo cocoa puffs. Including te Rosenstein BS.

But hysteria breeds hysteria. Apparently Democrats are about to blame all their future defeats on the Russians. Deep State psyops at its most evil.
