Beyond the Obvious

I find it sad and sickening that most Americans, and the corporate media that shapes them, are more concerned about the effects of Russian “meddling” on our “democracy” than they are about our own home-grown oligarchs, who are not only meddling, but have bought Congress and turned this wonderful democracy we’ve been told we have into a joke—an anti-democratic cesspool.--TS

My latest at CounterPunch.  This one will piss off all the Democrats who go on and on about Trump because he's the worst of the worst, which is true, but no cause for the vast majority of them to bury their heads in the sand and forget, ignore and misrepresent how we got here.

If we are products of our history, it's time we start taking history seriously, which means nuking the idea that the ruination of America commenced with Trump.

It's become an annoying trope, the kind of garbage that keeps intellectually-moribund mainstream outlets like the Huffington Post in business.
