Am I missing something?

As far as I can tell, what we have learned is that some element in the intelligence community–yet unnamed, but perhaps affiliated with the CIA–has been listening in on the telephone conversations our President has, looking for political dirt.  They may be listening in when he calls his wife, daughter and son.  They may be listening when he calls old pals.  They may be listening when he calls Rudy Guiliani, or the Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency (which may have actually been run by good people in recent memory), or has phone sex with some bimbo whose name we haven’t learned, YET.

Does no one else see the problem here?  Can we not apply what might be termed the “Obama Principle” and ask: if this were being done to Obama, would the reaction be the same?  Of course not.  Of course not.

As I wrote in the lead up to the 2008 election, the damage Obama did to our country can be corrected.  We just needed a new leader, which we got.

But the STUPIDITY of an electorate so responsive to almost childish propaganda offensives that it could be manipulated into supporting and electing him: that is a problem with no easy fix.

Obama was obviously no saint, and Trump is no villain, but America STILL seems to be responding to these cartoons, these Looney Tunes, in the way the CIA and other affiliated persons and bad actors want us to.

I think it is past time for a repeat of the Church hearings, but this time with consequences for all involved, and a wholesale shredding of the whole outfit.  The media is taking direction, and the most obvious candidates are the one’s with the most experience in overthrowing governments, and electing illegitimate ones.
