"Our neo-Marxist media seems determined to ignore all contrary facts.

Bookworm also weighs in on the subject of the indictments against 13 Russians.
Trump has certainly taken to denying that he or his campaign played any role in coordinating with the Russians. However, contrary to proggie suggestions, this is not the same as claiming that the specific intelligence that we have about Russian attempts to influence our election are false.

...(Indictment, ¶¶ 43-57) Initially, the Russians targeted expected Republican front runners Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, while on the other side of the aisle, they supported Bernie Sanders against the person everyone expected to be the next President — expected it right up until about 11 p.m. on Nov. 8, 2016 — Hillary Clinton. Once Trump won the primary, the Russians began to support Trump and Jill Stein while continuing to disparage Clinton. Once Trump, against all expectations, won the election, the same Russians turned on Trump and organized anti-Trump rallies. The Russians also exploited racial divisions.

(Indictment, ¶ 6) As the indictment explicitly states and the facts support, the overarching “strategic goal” of the Russian operation was to “sow discord” in the U.S. political system throughout the election season and afterwards as well. That being the case, the support of any one candidate or the disparagement of any other candidate was situational. This fact, taken straight from the indictment, eviscerates the claim — central to the Trump Russia narrative and announced by DNI Clapper in January, 2017 — that the overarching goal of Russia’s operation was to help Trump get elected.

Despite all of the above contained in the indictment, our neo-Marxist media seems determined to ignore all contrary facts.

There is not a single MSM publication, at least none showing up on Memorandum, that seems to be playing this with any sort of intellectual honesty. Disgusting bastards all of them.

... Russian meddling in the 2016 election may have made no difference, but the neo-Marxist prog left are determined that allegations of Trump collusion will be central to the 2018 midterms. If we do not get answers before then, rest assured that we likely never will.
