I’ve been reading about all the political shenanigans that are going on – not just in Washington, but throughout the country. Identity politics is not new. Ad hominem attacks on political opponents are as old as politics itself; and, just from my perspective, I’m beginning to think that politics and prostitution may tie as the oldest professions in the world. And then there’s that nagging voice in the back of my mind that equates one with the other.
“That’s old news.” “That’s been litigated.” “That’s like investigating McGovern for Watergate.” “Trump’s people wanted to get information from WikiLeaks.” All these statements and more are being thrown around in an attempt to mitigate what may be or may not be criminal activity. As I pointed out yesterday, the Russians have been trying to interfere in U.S. politics for almost a century, and it is no surprise to find their fingers once again stirring the melting pot that is U.S. politics.
