Anyone that has frequented right wing blogs as I have knows that their news sources are largely full of crap. Considering that they are being utilized in a "Lenin-useful idiot" sort of way by Russian companies (and Vladimir Putin) working to undermine the United States takes the bullshit to a whole new level.
Of course, it's entirely possible that they aren't really being scammed and are doing all of this willfully. If this is indeed the case, then my previous thoughts on the liberals with a little "l" are confirmed. They, not the liberals they foam at the mouth about, are the authoritarians. It's not really all that surprising given their predilection for bombast, hysteria, and out and out bullying.
The recent shooting at the pizzeria in Washington DC illustrates just how serious this issue has become. Making the matters worse is President Elect Trump's choice for national security adviser, Michael G Flynn. Apparently, Flynn and his son are quite the purveyors of fake news.
The elder Flynn, who served as Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency before he was pushed out by the Obama administration in 2014, called attention to the phony story just days before the election last month with a breathless posting on Twitter: “U decide - NYPD Blows Whistle on New Hillary Emails: Money Laundering, Sex Crimes w Children, etc...MUST READ!”
Hours after the gunman was apprehended, the younger Flynn renewed his support for the lie.
“Until #Pizzagate proven to be false, it’ll remain a story,” Michael G. Flynn said on Twitter late Sunday evening. “The left seems to forget #PodestaEmails and the many ‘coincidences’ tied to it.”
Well, that's just great. Everything that we hear is true until proven otherwise. I've said many, many times that this ideology is a national security threat and now they are in charge of national security? Worse, supporters are cheering this on as if this a blog comments section that they so desperately need to "win." I'm wondering what goes through their heads when they read this:
The son traveled with his father to Moscow last year, according to family associates, where his father was seated beside Russian President Vladimir Putin at a gala thrown by RT, the Kremlin-controlled propaganda news outlet.
Could this BE any more obvious?
If you are a right wing blogger or right wing blog commenter who has warned us all about the boiling pit of sewage that is communism and are now ignoring this...blaming the liberal media for this...downplaying this as nothing...or secretly embracing this because you are a closet authoritarian...
a). kindly go fuck yourself
b). see someone in the mental health profession because your mind isn't right
c). stop trying to throw our country into the shitter just because you are afraid of progress and aren't getting your way.
This isn't a game anymore, folks.

Hey, Mark. Russia isn't communist anymore. They are 100% crony capitalists.
The Russian Orthodox Church is now the official religion of the Russian Federation, and singing songs critical of Putin in a church will land you in the gulag for two years.
The Russian government hate gays too, so they must be okay!
The Cold War is over. The battle is now between the oligarchs and the "little people," but the little people have been completely duped by oligarchs like Trump and Putin. The demagogues spout religious hatred, racism, nationalism and bigotry because they know these dog whistles reliably distract the poorly educated that make up the vast majority of their supporters.
Trump has led his followers around by the nose, promising to drain the swap, but he's putting Wall Street/Hollywood alligators in his cabinet and his panel of advisors, including Goldman Sachs alums Steven Mnuchin and Steve Bannon. Mnuchin is the worst of the Wall Street vampires, profiting hugely from the 2008 financial collapse while throwing homeowners on the street. Mnuchin and Bannon are also Hollywood types, making millions off Avatar and Seinfeld.
Meanwhile, Putin keeps stirring the pot in the Middle East, churning out more and more refugees from Syria, who inevitably flee to other countries, destabilizing political systems across the world, spreading fear and inflaming nativist sentiments that promote the rise of other conservative movements controlled by the oligarchs.
Trump is doing the exact same thing that every other Republican has done for the last 50 years, but the people who voted for him appear to be so hung up on religion, race and misogyny that they just cannot see Trump is selling the same old pack of lies.
