Letter to the Editor / IT’S REALLY SIMPLE
The American public is under attack from both RUSSIA and an avalanche of misinformation, LIES, propaganda, conspiracy theories and puerile tweets. Both threats use simplicity to great advantage – “WE are great, THEY are rapists, murderers and spies”. And it’s true that lies go around the world before truth can get its pants on.
Perhaps simple lies can be confronted by simple truths: The Russians attacked, and are still attacking, America. Our leaders in the White House and Congress failed to punish Putin appropriately, or protect our 2018 elections. Should we hold both the attacker and the enablers accountable?
If Russia is the first simple issue, and is clearly guilty; then Trump and his administration is the second simple issue and common sense can determine guilt. Put aside the complex and confusing legalities for a moment, and the fact that a half dozen Trump campaigners have already pleaded guilty, and ask yourself two simple questions: If you were Trump or part of his campaign and were completely innocent, what would you do? Of course, you’d tell the truth, cooperate fully and make every effort to prove your innocence and be exonerated as quickly as possible. But, what would you do if you were guilty? You would probably do exactly what Trump, his minions, co-conspirators and President Clinton did – lie, obstruct justice, attack the investigators and the media.
It’s really that simple. Russia and Trump. Guilty and guilty.
If simplicity doesn’t move you, listen to Republican Senator Flake’s recent speech at Harvard, read newspapers, change leaders, put country first and try to be more inclusive.

You Lefties never give up trying to degrade America into a Socialist Communist country do you. Knocking Trump, MY PRESIDENT, who is trying to eliminate you freeloading free riders so the rest of us can live a normal life, is not going to get him out. He is a business MAN and knows he is in deep dodo trying to eliminate the junta that wants the N.W.O. and control. It is not the Russians or the Muslims or the British or the Blacks or Yellows, or the Whites, it is the super-rich that are sick and tired of the overpopulating breeders banging out nothing but mutants and useless eaters. This is getting scary because the last time this happened we had WW1 and WW2 and several other “conflicts” . DT will hopefully throw out you miserable wastes and reconstruct America to be AMERICA, not a welfare campground of dysfunctional eunuchs!
Lies such as who ordered an investigation (even before so-called truth was forthcoming), why wasn’t POTUS warned of an impending Russian meddling, spie(s) in the rival presidential campaign, collusion with Russians by the other side….etc, etc.
I knew Roger was full of it but this takes the cake.
