Hearing the wannabe somebody or at least something types in the election was marginally serious during the early stages before Election 2016 revealed as the political laughingstock of the planet. The most ludicrous aspect of it is how the DNC and the GOP have spent such an obsessive amount of time looking for someone to blame for that which may be the most laughable example of American failure in leadership since America dropped a live nuke on North Carolina (true).
Note: most of the fail-safes on the weapon had triggered and, as always, there was only one thing keeping America out of a nuclear conflagration ... 'dumb luck.' It damn sure was not effective leadership no matter what the expense of the Washington suits who swear they're in control.
That incident took place, I believe, in the late Fifties but it's hardly the only one. When you take high-end nuclear weapons technology and put its maintenance in the hands of high school mechanics, it's reasonable to assume there will be problems. Witness how many times nuclear sub commanders drove their boats into each other or something else this last Summer. And those are the ones with high skills. The mechanics are off servicing the missile sites and one of them nearly blew up a nuclear-armed ICBM simply by dropping a wrench.
Meanwhile, the GOP worries about Russians.
Of course they don't since they don't even worry about the shaky system they built here.
These days I don't believe any of it when I hear the Republicans going on about how Russia is spying on the election process because they would blame it on Martians if NASA could find anything even faintly interesting on Mars. The scientists look for signs of life but the GOP never looks for anything except more scapegoats.
Note: use DNC and GOP interchangeably since there's no longer any substantive difference between them.
It's not so much I don't believe their latest content of, gee whiz, the Russians have hacked the DNC but rather I don't believe the cranks believe anything they say. They have reached such a low level of oratorial desperation they'll be digging up Carl Sagan to have voidoid Moon dances if any Republicans actually realize who he is and if Sagan didn't already think they're hyenas who live on rotting flesh.
Start the countdown until the GOP blames Russia for at least one of the Iraq invasions. After so many ineffectual campaigns, even those incompetents should be able to blame one of them on Moscow.
Think of Ivan in Moscow when Putin comes to him to say, "Da, Ivan. You spy on Debbie Wasserman Schultz for me!"
Immediately Ivan says, "Why fucking me, Comrade? Have you seen that trout?"
Putin only replies, "I'm the boss. I don't have to see the trout. Do it."
Ivan wails, "But she's a horse, comrade, and she only eats hay! Nyet, nyet!"
Putin only shrugged and said, "We must understand how American women think."
Ivan screamed, "But Americans don't think, comrade. That's why they have Facebook."
