A while ago a former Soviet citizen said the media assault on Trump reminded him of the unreliability of the Soviet press. He noted that now, like the Soviet Union, we no longer have a trustworthy press.

Prediction, the whole Trump is worse than Satan and all his imps theme is so ridiculous it will backfire on the Dems (caveat: my predictions are almost always wrong).

Just out of curiosity, do you think that (a) the Left is actually concerned about the danger Trump is to America;
or (b) the Left is, for once, really feeling threatened?

Just my two cent’s worth: General McMaster is a most impressive man so his swingeing rejection of the “leak” story is persuasive. The theologians of Leftism say that he did not answer the exact allegations but that is a stretch. He was pretty comprehensive in what he said.

Be that as it may, the coverup is brilliant. Saying the information came from Israel is both believable and harmless. Everybody knows that Israeli intelligence is brilliant and that Israel shares intelligence with the USA, so the whole thing has become: “Move along. Nothing to see here”.

And Trump can’t win over Russia. If he is hostile to Russia, he is a warmonger and if he is friendly to prominent Russians, he is “in cahoots” with Vlad the impaler. And I have long ago lost count of the number of times the media have declared Trump “finished” over some minor matter.

UPDATE: More media madness. The Media Research Center’s recent all-day study of CNN’s coverage found that they spent a whopping 13 hours and 27 minutes in just one day covering President Trump. Furthermore, a full 92% of the coverage was negative.

Sheesh.

The good news then (or if that is too morally shocking, substitute “ironic”) is that if it turns out that the Norks actually can hit an American city, it is probably Seattle.

The better news – or more sharply ironic if you prefer – is that Seattle has that wonderful law still on the books preventing nuclear disaster drills.

Perhaps Michael Moore, the man who legitimized the kind of fraternal sport in which I am engaging in now, could be persuaded to move there.

Dulce et decorum est mori propter somnia, Michael!

One problem with what you’re saying is that every single person who was present at that meeting with the Russians says that Trump revealed nothing of the sort, and that the report saying he did is incorrect.

That’s my impression as well, hence my response to Manju.
DNW nails it, I think.
“What the Democrats have done is to undermine the interests of freedom at home and abroad for 70 years or more now. And as a result they … just … have … no … moral credibility … at all.”

Yeah, the party of David Bonior friend of the Sandanistas, of Jimmy national malaise Carter, he of globetrotting post presidency diplomacy meddling infamy, of Ted “Dear Mr. Andopov” Kennedy, and of one barely closeted Maoist after another … begins to squeal out the Star Spangled Banner in unison.

What Trump did or did not do, he did or did not do.

What the Democrats have done is to undermine the interests of freedom at home and abroad for 70 years or more now. And as a result they … just … have … no … moral credibility … at all.

No one knew it was an Israeli spy — possibly, even the Russians – until the media published that little tidbit.

I understand this.

Trump put an Israeli spy at risk by virtue of what he revealed to the Russians. The NYTime (maybe WaPo) compounded that problem by revealing it to everyone else.

I wasn’t addressing this issue. I was addressing you and Andy McCarthy minimizing the seriousness of putting an Israeli spy at risk.
