In the last week we’ve learned that a faction of the FBI
wants to elect Trump…
That, before deciding to announce he was looking into more
emails that may not have anything to do with Hillary Clinton, the Director of
the FBI quashed an announcement that Russia may have deep ties to the Trump
campaign…
That a Fox News anchor admitted to lying when he said an
indictment of Hillary Clinton was imminent…
That the National Enquirer
bought a story of a Playboy model who had an affair with Donald Trump while he
was married to Melania and then refused to publish it…
That the mainstream news media has completely ignored a rape
charge against Donald Trump, the impending trial against Trump University and
the whopper Trump told about Clinton’s immigration plans…
That an Ohio judge has ordered the Republican Party and the
Trump campaign to cease and desist their voter suppression activities…
For the most part, the mainstream news media ignores the
mounting negative news about Donald Trump in favor of features that downplay
the enthusiasm for Hillary Clinton or explore the reasons that certain groups like
the Donald.
And the polls are tightening, the result of what is no doubt
the independent nefarious efforts of the FBI, the Russian government, the
Republican Party and the mainstream news media.
We know what each of them wants:
A faction of the FBI, apparently including the Director, are
“evil clown Republicans” (the equivalent of “yellow dog Democrats,” you know,
will vote for any Republican, even an evil clown!) and seem more beholden to
party than country. Perhaps the FBI is making a play to become the special
security agency for a Trump Administration, seeing that virtually every former
leader of the other agencies and departments of security plus every living
ex-president is supporting Hillary. I’m not the first to smell the evil stench
of J. Edgar Hoover.
Russia would rather have the vain and unstable Donald Trump
as president of the nation serving as the largest impediment to Russian global
aspirations.
The establishment wing of the Republican Party really
doesn’t care what happens to the country, as long as taxes are cut even further
on the incomes of the ultra-wealthy. They’re quite happy to continue bedding
with racists and those who would deny women control over their own bodies if it
means they can keep taking more and more of the country’s wealth.
As to the mainstream news media—I think their ultra-wealthy
owners and operators realize that Trump is dangerously delusional, but fear
Democratic control of both houses, which would bring the higher taxes on the
wealthy that they would hate so much. They are therefore trying to thread the
needle—say enough of the truth about Trump to keep him from winning, but
falsely malign Clinton enough to keep her from achieving the landslide that
will give Democrats control of the Senate and House.
You can see the mass media trying to get cute in the way they
have adjusted their campaigns according to the changing spread in the polls.
When Clinton had a healthy lead after the convention the mainstream media
created false equivalencies, did not report Trump’s many lies, underplayed
Trump scandals and gave Trump spokespersons free reign. When the race got
close, they started calling the Trumpites on their lies and exaggerations, were
more complimentary of Hillary Clinton and focused on Trump’s sexual
assaults. After the debates in which
Clinton trounced Trump and widened her lead to a landslide, the mainstream news
media once again started giving favorable coverage to Trumpty-Dumpty and paying
too much attention to yet the latest iteration in the longest running non-scandal
in history, Hillary’s emails.
We know what the FBI and Russia want. We know what
Republicans want. And we know what the news media wants.
The question is, what do the American people want?
A seasoned competent leader with the most progressive agenda
in American history or a mentally unbalanced, racist sexual assaulter with no
real knowledge of the issue whose program will bankrupt the country, send the
global economy into a depression and gut the middle class?
