which is understandable as our media does a horrible job of reporting outside of the bubble.

yea I'm not sure why this is such a deal-breaker for people. The RussiaGate Rachel Maddow obsession on this is wasted energy. The notion that Robert Mueller (someone who has played defense for the Establishment for decades) was going to be the savior to indict Trump was always a hail mary approach to countering Trump's criminality (and he is a criminal).

I also think the building up of Russia as this cold war resurgent boogey-man is wildly mis-placed. It wasn't long ago when Obama was mocking Mitt Romney for referring to Russia as our biggest threat/challenge - and Obama was right. This doesn't mean that Russia is a friend - as they clearly have tried to influence our elections. But the notion that our elections are so pristine - while ignoring all of the meddling/interference we run in other elections is absurd. Also - Israel has meddled in our elections far more than Russia - but there's no hysteria aimed there. It's intellectually dishonest.

Most of the anti-Tulsi stuff I see is pretty disingenuous. That said - there are of course substantive reasons why somebody wouldn't support her - but I rarely see those being discussed.
