There Is No Doubt

The White House today once again declares vindication but all that declaration does is underscore Trump's idiocy. He thinks that because the Russian influence on social media started in 2014 that he and his are totally off the hook. All the Russians were looking for at that point were willing idiots. That's what they used to be called during the Cold War.

Now, apparently, we are all willing idiots. I stopped subscribing to the New York Times early in the election cycle, long before 2016, because I was offended by the obeisance to the Clinton machine. What offended me was not Mrs. Clinton, herself, but the fact that there was no option for a second opinion. The newspaper might has well have been an arm of the election campaign long before any primaries or caucuses had been held and that's equally as offensive as any Russian media meddling.
