As this year’s election nears, expect Russia! Russia! fantasies to heat up again to mask a failing administration and its indefensible record.
Collusion about Collusion
The more candidate Trump in 2016 trolled the Clinton campaign (e.g., “Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing, I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press”), the more the irate left bought into hysterical conspiracy theories.
Finally, the left became completely unhinged after the 2016 victory. An Obama-era Pentagon lawyer published an essay exploring the chance for a military coup. Retired lieutenant colonels called for a Pentagon intervention. Retired four-stars could not decide whether he was Hitler-like, Mussolini, or the architect of Auschwitz. Celebrities competed to find the most savage image of eliminating Trump—whether by combustion, incineration, decapitation, lethal shooting, or stabbing.
Since then, the press has run with lurid stories about Trump, from having syphilis sores on his hands to “proof” of him beating up Melania. But amid the unhinged hatred, nothing has quite reached the absurdity of the Russia! Russia! obsessions.
In 2016, the country went through crackpot leftist charges of Russian collusion that helped to destroy the lives of innocents like Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn, Carter Page, and George Papadopoulos. Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s lawyers (gushed over by pundits as the “dream team/all-stars/hunter-killer team”), despite all the pre-investigational hype and hagiography, spent 22 months and $40 million to find no evidence that the Russians swung the election to Trump.
But in that sordid process, we learned the following: that a felonious FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith was convicted of doctoring a court document to mislead a FISA court in efforts to surveille an innocent man; that the FBI director James Comey recorded and leaked via a third party

How many people has the deep state harmed to cause problems for Trump?
VDH ping
Tue Democrats are so out of line.
Cross reference this with the NBC “story” posting by clowns in action plant Dilanian... about Smirnov. Hanson is right on the money on this ridiculous continuing bullcrap lies. An op many believe is run by the chi-coms anyway.
Russia and chi-coms want.... joeybags or his next replacement, working for obamaumao’s embed Alinsky operatives.
So I guess this makes VDH a putinista too.
And telling women, ‘Abortion, abortion, abortion!’
And telling parents, ‘Free college, free college, free college!’
And telling... well, you get the idea.
There shall be wars and rumors of wars, and long time Bama fans will fully endorse an Auburn coach for senate, and the Democrats who cheerlead Russia against Reagan will hate Russia with a passion?
How can this be?
Simple, Russia will quit being communist.
China all but owns the U.S. so far but the democrats and media don’t want want to talk about it the money is to good to give up.
The chicoms want Oguano’s 4th term.
I voted yesterday in the primary.
Not one single Russian interfered with me casting my vote.
There was, however, a report on FR of an 8-person panel with TDS on CNN yesterday morning delivering their collective wisdom, whoever these doofuses are, that one should not vote for the person for whom I voted. Is that propaganda “election interference”?
Fortunately, I did not actually see CNN yesterday, because I have no TV and have not watched any TV news since Obama days, when it became blatantly obvious that the media is completely controlled by the Marxist communist Democrat Party and the secret militarized international intelligence apparatus of the junta in DC.
VDH nails it once again.
If you look at the headlines at RCP each day, the articles on Russia and Ukraine and the view of the left, shows that they plan a repeat of “Russian election interference” for this fall.
Also, I saw this headline this morning. LOL!
“Trump’s CPAC Speech Showed Signs of Cognitive Decline by Chauncey DeVega, Salon”
I’m not going to link to it since it is the same drivel we have heard before but it shows the left is replaying all the cards they have used against Trump and conservatives in the past.
As this year’s election nears, expect the Russia! Russia! fantasies to heat up again to mask a failing administration and its indefensible record of a lethally open border, inflation, crime waves, foreign policy implosions, crackpot energy agendas, the weaponization of our institutions, and deteriorating race relations.

VDH, always on point.
In 2017 when DJT had the option to open an investigation of Hillary’s crimes, he passed up the option? He did this after many, many rallies where the chant was ‘lock her up’??????? Will he be as passive if he happens to beat the fraud odds in November?
