The news that the Intelligence Community has determined that the Russians are interfering in the lection again to help Donald Trump is being received as you might expect on the right:
There is some pushback being reported in the press indicating that the evidence of Russians wanting Trump to win is based upon Russia’s reasonable belief that Trump is someone they can do business with and because he is a great dealmaker.
I actually laughed out loud when I heard this. Yes, those are probably reasons they want him to win. He is an imbecile who makes deals that do not benefit the United States of America because he’s subject to flattery and bribes and is too stupid and narcissistic to know the difference.
Interference in the election for any reason is something we should all be able to say is unacceptable regardless of whether they like Trump because they think he’s better for them or because he’s their paid agent. The president is supposed to serve American interests.
Sadly, he believes that his interests are the same as American interests. In fact, his impeachment lawyer Alan Dershowitzmade the argument that anything he does to preserve his power is perfectly acceptable because he believes that whatever he does is, by definition, good for America. So, here we are.
Anyway, in case you think the Russians are helping him out because he’s such a rational actor, making good deals for the betterment of the world, take a look at this twitter thread:
Go ahead and have that drink …
