You're living in a fake world. The real world is filled with madness and you gotta have people paying attention to it.
But I think so I think that, you know, to answer that that question, I think they're more, they're more focused on or interested in
or you know, looking at this issue of, you know, and it's, it's surfaced again right the same time as the Epstein files, right? Now
it's like sucking all the oxygen out of the room for the past couple of days. Tulsi Gabbard comes out and says I'm releasing these
documents. She releases these documents.
What do you think about all that? Like, so this is the accusation they're they're they're throwing around the word treason. They're
saying that Obama knew that Russia did not meddle in the election, did not have any impact in the election, but yet promoted this
idea and then there's been some incredible clips of all these different news reporters CNN and MSNBC just saying over and over and
over again, clear evidence of Russian collusion and...
Yeah and you got Hillary Clinton saying you know is is uh you know, an era of illegitimacy around Trump's, you know, victory from
2016 because of this. I mean she was very clear about it, um, and as were many others...
... the noose is tightening on Trump. It's all gonna come out. He's an agent of Russia.
And Adam Schiff coming out on camera numerous times saying, you know, I can't tell you what I've seen, but I've seen things that's
a lot more than circumstantial evidence about this collusion, so... yeah, they, but again it's, it's much more comp it's always the
same thing it's much more complex than what folks tend to hear just in like a 2.5 or 3 minute news segment, right? So the Democrats
want you to think there's nothing to see here in these documents. How could you possibly spend time doing this? You're just trying
to distract from the the Epstein files, um, and the Republicans are saying Obama committed treason, right?
The reality is, as it often times is, is is is somewhere in that middle, right? There's a lot of CONFLATING OF ISSUES here. So...
nobody is questioning now that Republicans or Democrats. Nobody's questioning that the Russians meddled in the election just like
they did in the previous one, just like they did in this last one, just like they're always they've been meddling since World War
II, right, since the end of World War II. They've, they've always had an interest in influencing US politics.
And when you say meddle, do you mean like social media bots? Do you mean like influencing politicians like what do you mean by
meddle?
I mean. You know, in the early days, what were they doing? In the early days they would uh pay off trade union representatives
right to to push a certain line to, you know, to push for a softer tone, much like the Chinese do now push for a softer tone
against the Soviet Union, right? Or, um, in, in during World War II to push for isolationism, keep the US out of the war, right
before the Nazis turned on the Soviet Union and then they tended to need us, um, or they would pay journalists to write articles
pushing a particular point of view, um, and so there were those things.
Now, social media meddling is a lot easier, right? It's a lot cheaper, for sure yeah... for sure they do that... for sure they did
that in 2016... absolutely and and nobody's questioning that, right? What's happening is that... once again there's a bit of a
messaging problem from the Trump administration. Trump administration at the end of the day is saying what was bullshit was this
Russia collusion angle, right? Was the idea that you know this is complicated to explain and I'm not doing a very good job of it,
but they're saying yes there was meddling, but you pushed a story, meaning Brennan and Comey and you know all the others that were
involved in this and then going up to the top with Obama, saying you took what was um uh a uh intel community assessment um an ICA,
because everything has an acronym, uh that said there was no indication of of uh of uh Russian efforts to push or influence in a
particular direction the election, right?
And most of that initial reporting was on um uh election infrastructure. So there was a fairly, you know, significant bit there
that said the Russians weren't able to hack into election machines and actually alter vote counts, right? So they said we have seen
no evidence of that.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition
All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.
"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike
of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."
Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into
three distinct phases or stages:
"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm,
as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."
"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting
solely of hyperbole."
"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality."
The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything
Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something
nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be received
positively by TDSers.
The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a
punch line for late-night comics and nothing more.
Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles
Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in
reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
