K “I never doubted that the Russians were involved incidentally in the election, but they did not necessarily collude with Donaldo Trumpi or his ilk and did not significantly impact the outcome. Seriously investigating and prosecuting Trumpi’s money laundering and racketeering shenanigans over the decades has now been sidelined for at least two more years. His tax evasions, perjurious statements, obstructions of justice and dubious business dealings with the Russians and others could put him away in less luxurious government housing for hundreds of years, if we lived in a country with the rule of law.”
J “That is always the catch. He needs to be residing at public expense in the graybar hotel not in the White House.”

K “You could not miss that not much was really going on because not much was really going on. A few small time punks and grifters were charged, but a serious investigation and prosecution would have involved regular public indictments and purposeful movement up the food chain. The outcome was signaled and unfolded every month.”
J “A thousand Manaforts are lurking in public view just between McLean and Bethesda-Chevy Chase.”
. . .
K “The profitable newspapers and the Faux (Fox), MSNBC and CNN gab/gossip shows made a small fortune on the side show dubbed Russiagate.”
J “I find myself dismissing and disregarding the ‘Main Stream Media’ along with others across the political spectrum. The political and social and economic opportunity costs of the side show are staggering. Too much day light has been burned to date.”
. . .
K “So few are willing or able to admit that the ‘D’ division of the ‘War and Wall Street Party’ through its deplorable cabal at the DNC nominated a deplorable candidate in a rigged primary election and then ran a deplorable campaign in the secondary election. All she had to do was eschew the word ‘deplorable’, modify the sloppy solipsistic slogan from ‘I’m with her’ to ‘She’s with me’, and make a campaign stop or two in Sheboygan and Saginaw and Sandusky and pretend to be concerned about the legitimate grievances of the little folks. There was no possible way to lose the election.”
J “If the suppressed vote had been counted, she would have won. If the populace had been prudent enough to revoke the accreditation of the Electoral College before the election, she would have won in a landslide.”
K “Russiagate is a collective attempt at therapy by individuals who do not get it and are incapable of getting it and are unwilling to get it. Losers sometime lose because they are losers and they deserve to lose.”
. . .
J “I still don’t trust the Russians. They are up to no good. I never trusted Trumpi. He is down to much bad.”
