We now have a “president” whose actions and words are far below the requirements of the office. He was not elected by a majority, but by a fluke in the Electoral College, a system designed to pander to the slave states in the early 19th century. He fell short of the general majority by over 3 million. All 17 of our intelligence agencies concur that Russia interfered heavily in our election with the expressed goal of hurting Secretary Clinton.
Suspicion is rapidly turning to certainty that there was collusion between the Russians and the Trump campaign. The administration is ham-handedly trying to scuttle the investigations; firing the director of the FBI, firing U.S. attorneys, stonewalling directives to turn over material relevant to said investigations. The Republican-led Senate and Congress are slow-walking this, knowing that they will take an epic beating in the 2018 election were the depths of this collusion to become general knowledge beforehand.
In light of this it is almost comical that several letter writers complain about a “left-wing bias” the The Herald. It is not bias, it is reality — unlike Fox News, Deadbart and other vendors of “alternative facts.” The Herald, along with its big cousin the Washington Post and other newspapers of note realize the grave danger the Nixonian knaveries of the administration pose to our country and are doing their job, which is to expose the truth.
