GREETINGS;
Been a while for politics, so here we go again.
I think I got a lot of this information from the Hill.
The indictments handed down by Special Counsel Robert Mueller all but vindicated President Trump and his campaign. By noting specifically that there was nothing in the indictment that suggested that any American "wittingly" helped the Russians and that there was no allegation that the Russians changed the outcome of the election. Mueller dealt a brutal blow to El Resistance and sent the president to his favorite crowing station: Twitter. Trump took to his Twitter account to blast Democrats for turning the Russian investigation into a partisan witch hunt, saying that if Moscow wanted to create trouble in the United States, they had accomplished their mission.
"If It was the Goal of Russia to create discord, disruption and chaos within the U.S. then, with all of the Committee Hearings, Investigations and Party hatred, they have succeeded beyond their wildest dreams," he wrote."They are laughing their butts off in Moscow. Get smart America."
This is exactly what we've been thinking for months. The earliest message from the U.S. Intelligence community was not that Putin wanted Trump to win the election, per se, but that he wanted to undermine faith in America's democracy. Well - game, set, match. Because thanks to the Democrats and their harebrained conspiracy theory - fanned by the media, the Clinton camp, and indeed, the Obama holdovers at the FBI - they have managed to do just that.
Of course, it isn't that Russia was so brilliant in their strategy, it's that people believe want they want to believe. And so if you have the media trumpeting 24/7 that Trump didn't really win the election fair and square and you have a few outlets even holding out hope that Hillary Clinton could still come back and take over, you get the Resistance. A bunch of spoiled, idiot liberals who thought Barack Obama was going to usher in 1,000 years of progressive paradise. And they just couldn't stand to realize that, no, wasn't going to happen.
Hopefully, we're now reaching the point in all of this where we can just move on. Whatever damage Russia did, we came out of it with one of the greatest presidents in the modern history of this country. Sometimes the silver lining really isn't that to difficult to find. Let's do what we can to protect ourselves against this kind of meddling in the future, give up the silly idea that Trump is secretly working for the Kremlin, and focus on the roaring business of making America great again.When it's all said and done, Mr. Putin will realize that the worst damage he could have done to America would have been to stand aside and let Hillary win.
