American politics is a cesspool and only the filthiest, vilest creatures dare swim in it. It is important to note that no one is perfect, but when it comes to power and control, the most black souls gravitate to D.C. Washington is the seat of an empire built on death and destruction. It is a temple carved from the bedrock of lies and deceit. There is no one worthy of trust there. The corruption that has eaten away at our constitutional foundation like termites to wood beams is not a reflection of us, We The People (though we do bear much of the responsibility). Rather it is a dormant parasite that we have incubated and in the year 2016, it had grown far too large to continue on unnoticed.

I don’t care what you believe about the popular vote, about Hillary Clinton, Obama, Holder and the like. Too much of the country believed them to be too corrupt to continue to rule. It was really that simple. I am not going to waste your time litigating the Russia scandal. I have tried to do that on this blog before and I have been trying for a long time. Now, with Donald Trump as president we are trying with all our might to hold the country together as rumors and speculation are served to the American people by professional liars masquerading as truth-tellers.

If you believe that Donald Trump colluded with Russia, I want you to know that I respectfully disagree with you. Trust me, I have heard all the arguments and read all the reports and for every new story that comes out claiming to be the final nail, I have more questions about the actions of a million other actors in this great political game -- questions about things that occurred well before President Trump. CNN and the rest of the mainstream media are trying to tell you today that Fox News has created an anti-Mueller attack campaign to get the Special Council fired. This is a lie. I have never been a Fox News viewer, and I believe Mueller should be fired -- not because they invented it, but because I have concerns about the merits of this investigation. I doubt very much the Russians had a significant impact on the election. I fundamentally distrust the unaccountable intelligence communities that have led us into FUBAR after FUBAR since inception. On top of this, I doubt the Russians would have needed the help of Trump to influence the election at all. I can go on, but I won’t. NONE of this matters to you or I or our families. Not right this instant. What does matter is what we do about our differences of opinion and how we interpret the facts going forward.
