“If you don’t think that the endgame to all of this [Russiagate] lunacy is a world where every America-critical movement from Black Lives Matter to Our Revolution to the Green Party is ultimately swept up in the collusion narrative along with Donald Trump and his alt-right minions, you haven’t been paying attention.
That’s because #Russiagate, from the start, was framed as an indictment not just of one potentially traitorous Trump, but all alternative politics in general. The story has evolved to seem less like a single focused investigation and more like the broad institutional response to a spate of shocking election results, targeting the beliefs of discontented Americans across the political spectrum…
It’s been impossible not to notice how effective the Russiagate affair has already been as a hammer against all other political outsiders, even those with opposite values to Trump. In fact, unless you’re a Hillary Clinton Democrat, you’ve probably been portrayed as having somehow been in on it, at one time or another.”

H Rob, thanks for posting a link to Taibbi’s entire article. It is definitely worth a read. Taibbi’s premise is that everyone who disagrees with government (the Deep State government that is) is a Russian sympathizer.
We are heading down a dark road without headlights or a map. I’m very worried where it leads.
In an unbelievable twist that could only be created by an organization as devious as “Russian agents”, the “Dossier” proves Trump was both being ruined in his Presidential bid by Putin when Putin disclosed Trump as enjoying a golden shower or two with some gals and at the same time protected by Putin to ensure his election victory? Of course the foundation for all of this was laid before even Trump knew he was going to run. Crafty, very crafty those Russians!
Politics indicts itself. Ipso facto.
