               "Justice My Ass!"

Picture
Most politics is so dumb, it makes my ass hurt. What makes it dumb? The willingness of dedicated partisans to buy whatever bullshit is being sold. For a year, now, we’ve heard “The Russians! The Russians! They’re taking over!’’ This second rate super power, which hasn’t really been a super power for thirty years or more, is the cause of Donald Trump winning, and beating America’s sweetheart, Hillary Clinton. What a staggering fiction. Proven to be a fiction, by none other than the ex FBI director James Comey, who said there is not now, nor has there ever been an investigation into Donald Trump or his associates, simply because there was never any evidence to support the allegation of a Trump/Russian collusion. But, apparently, Comey didn’t want to tell anyone, just in case some evidence should turn up in the future. As the result, lie after lie, by the media, could be floated in headlines around the world, and everyone applauded, because they were fighting the power. That’s like a pack of ravenous wolves, attacking a lone rabbit stating, “We were frightened for our lives, which is why we killed and ate it, to protect ourselves, just in case it should attack.”

I guess, even wolves need safe spaces, especially when to comes to the truth.

Now, nearly a year into this intentional subterfuge, where are the apologies? There aren’t any.  And there never will be, because another made up witch hunt will ensue, just as quick as someone can come up something that sounds plausible. At that point, the lemmings in the media will descend like roaches on a bread crumb, left in a dark corner.

Every once in a while, dedicated observers will awake from their slumber and give the thumbs up, because they know that Donald Trump is guilty of something, anything, just keep digging and they’ll find it, and then justice will be served.

So, a better question would be, in the absence of evidence to support the Trump/Russian connection, what motive did the Obama administration have for unmasking Donald Trump and his associates?

“Hmm? Hmm? Well, at the present time, we can’t think of anything!”

This little bit of political espionage, came directly after Trump won the nomination. Now, the record of this unmasking, was moved to Obama’s presidential library. Supposedly, out of reach. Does this seem suspicious? Not to democrats. Because they know, Trump is dirty. And just wait till the special counsel finds something! Anything!

This is like watching a jury of Klan members, try a fellow Klansman for the murder of a Black man in 1950’s Mississippi, and calling it justice.

Justice, my ass!
