Bringing Sanity To the Swamp, By Draining It, From the Top

OUR DEAR RUSSIAN FRIENDS must not take this personally, but, yes, its true, Russian sources tried to influence the American election in favor of its eventual winner, the infamous Donald J. Trump. Not the Russian people, but rather, their corrupt and oppressive and power hungry government. For that, the Russian people and indeed the world in general ought properly to be peeved at Vladimir Putin. Too many independent computer people have been noticing a pattern for a long time, and the American spy agencies confirm it. Russian hackers are messing with America, as if American hackers don't do their fair share. But that's another matter. From Putin's point of view, it was worth a try, whether or not it worked. Donald Trump likes to invent his own reality, and dwell in it safely and without apology, which bodes ill for the world, Mr. Putin included. If we're not careful, we'll end up in America with a congress, a military, an intelligence community, and a general population of American citizens angry about Putin's behavior, wanting to do something about it, and a president Trump who calls all politically incorrect comments about Putin and his government a liberal democratic conspiracy hatched by Hillary Clinton and her crooked cohorts, or a Chinese conspiracy to rival in audacity the one concerning climate change, or both. If I were involved in any way, shape, or form with the American intelligence gathering community, which is always a possibility due to the sheer size of said community, I would be, to put it mildly, a tad miffed at Mr.Trump for throwing us under the bus, along with the American people, and the nation as a whole. Hell, why not just let the Ruskies have it all! What we the American and the Russian people really should do, is to unite in a relentless effort to bring sanity to our respective governments, by, as an infamous American once said, draining the swamp, starting at the top.
