Brain Flu Pandemic (You Can Fool Half of the People All of the Time)

Brain Flu Pandemic (You Can Fool Half of the People All of the Time)

The latest polls that came out this week show that for the first time most Americans think the Mueller investigation is a witch hunt, more than those who don’t by 4 percentage points. This is after a dozen indictments of associates, some already convicted, some of the others pleading guilty, plus the President’s personal attorney testifying that he’s a crook, a fraud, a womanizer and worse.

It would be easy to blame Fox News and Breitbart. Easy to blame the Russian bots. Easy to blame Facebook. But … what I think we got here is some kind of bio-engineered flu that short circuits the cognitive paths of the human brain. It’s the only explanation that makes any sense. So it must be true. All of you who took the brain flu shot and avoided the malady must be thinking: how is this possible? How is that over 50% of my fellow Americans have decided that the investigation into collusion with the Russians is nothing but a witch hunt? When day after day another link pops up implicating the Trumps, all of them, with inappropriate contacts with Russians, all hoping to get their greedy little fingers into that borsht called the Trump Tower Moscow. They and their operatives have repeatedly lied about meetings with the Moscovites, some are now in jail even. But the investigation is a witch hunt???

Add to that the obvious attempt to impede, interfere with and obstruct the investigation. Trump fired Comey and bragged to the Russians that he’d taken care of that little ‘problem’. He raged at Sessions, hammered Rosenstein, dictated false accounts for his son, aw, on and on, it just becomes obvious to any but the brain flu impaired. Does this add up to impeachment? Will that man go to jail? Let’s skip that for now. It does add up to more than mild proof that the Mueller investigation has got its witches lined up. Whether we drown them in the pond or burn them at the stake, that’s coming later.

They say a country gets the Leader it deserves. I guess if the brain flu has destroyed the minds of most of the nation, they must deserve a Leader whose own brain is defective. But it doesn’t seem fair, does it? I mean, it has to be some sort of disease, maybe a bio-attack by those pesky Chinese or those idolatrous Moslems, turning us into virulent viral emailers, alt-right enthusiasts and white supremacists. They’ve even turned the religious into fanatic haters. It’s like a political rabies, horrible, maybe irreversible.

Short of a vaccine to protect the 48% who still have frontal lobe activity, the truth is that a majority of us citizens now don’t really care what crimes Trump may have committed. They’re not going to fire him, they wouldn’t care if he shoots a few folks on 5th Avenue with an automatic assault rifle. Probably immigrants anyway. Rapists, drug peddlers, gang members. Good riddance. Fascism has come to the Land of the Free. More than Trump are guilty of obstruction of justice.
