    Hey there guys, recent one of the biggest piece of fake news that’s been promulgated by the left wing media are the ties between the Trump administration and Russia. Russia hacked the election, Trump is their puppet, and Putin himself is responsible for the right-wing revival in the West.

    Now the regressives have found a new point to harp about and to me it’s an example of taking the most meagre scrap of information and running with it to attempt to present a narrative. They all write self referential articles and claim that because of the universal coverage it must be true.

    I’m talking about Michael Flynn. For those of you not in the know, Michael Flynn was the National Security Advisor who was appointed under president Trump and resigned yesterday after it was found he had lied to Trump and members of his staff regarding conversations he had with the Russian Ambassador. Not that there was anything inappropriate or illegal which was discussed, instead that he chose to be dishonest with the POTUS. He was rightfully fired for this and personally I think it was the right move. However the left has decided that this is 100% proof of Trump working with Russia, and have even started bringing up the obviously discredited “Russian Dossier” again.

    Here’s a link to some articles from my favorite source for fake news, NBC:

    In this one the attempt is made to paint with a broad brush the entire Trump administration as being dishonest about the events. The worst they are guilty of is witholding the information about the coming resignation of Flynn, and for good reason obviously as the media used it to create a s~~~storm:

    Of course, within hours of this we got the Clinton camp (oh lord, how hard she attempts to stay relevant) excoriating the Trump administration for their “ties to Russia”. Truly is breathtaking to watch the dishonesty in the media at work.

    Now, the question I pose to you gentleman is: What do you think will be the political fallout of this? I see it as another fake scandal which will quickly dissapear from the news as it becomes more apparent that this is drummed up nonsense. However I have heard some suggest that this could be the beginning of a serious, concerted attempt by the left in the U.S. to paint Trump as a Russian puppet… something they’ve done before. What is their end goal? War with Russia? I’d love to hear your opinions on this.

    The GOP never really liked Trump. They view him as a liability and not reliably conservative. In my view, the Republican Party would be much happier with Pence in charge as he fits their mold of an establishment far right conservative. The irony for the democrats is they may end up with a president far more at odds to their agenda than Trump. Old saying: be careful what you wish for – you may get it.

    No news here.

    CBC Radio Canada yesterday declared it to be Trump’s first “MAJOR SCANDAL”. The ‘tards are on a roll again…
