Hillary Told Us So


By Zamboni

Have you seen the news about the secret Russian meeting that Vladimir Putin convened in January 2016 to make Donald Trump POTUS?

According to a leaked Kremlin document, attendees agreed it was "acutely necessary to use all possible force to facilitate his [Trump’s] election to the post of US president...[which] will definitely lead to the destabilization of the US’s sociopolitical system."

Trump, they said, was an "impulsive, mentally unstable and unbalanced individual who suffers from an inferiority complex." (And oh, yes, the Russians have Trump kompromat. Sadly, the document doesn't include its appendix, where those details appear.)

What's really scary here, aside from everything, is how right these Russians were. Trump is the sociopath they describe, and his disastrous Presidency has done worse than destabilize us. It's also infuriating to recall how American journalism helped Putin's plans along. Because "the email lady" was right about everything. 

Here's a POLITICO story from September 5, 2016:

"Hillary Clinton on Monday expressed 'a very serious' concern about Russia's apparent tampering with the US election, implying that President Vladimir Putin and the 'adversarial foreign power' he governs are actively trying to elect Donald Trump. 'I’m really concerned about the credible reports about Russian government interference in our elections,' Clinton told reporters aboard the maiden voyage of her Boeing 737 Stronger Together campaign plane...'The fact that our intelligence professionals are now studying this, and taking it seriously,' she said, 'raises some grave questions about potential Russian interference with our electoral process.'"

A week later, all the press could talk about was Clinton's fainting spell at the September 11 memorial. But Putin calling the shots in our government? Who cared? We cats HISS.
