  1. Hartmann: “The only way the Republicans have got the White House in 2000 and 2016 with George W Bush and Donald Trump is because of voter suppression” – Wrong. I believe this is what they call Gaslighting – “a person or a group covertly sows seeds of doubt in a targeted individual, making them question their own memory, perception, or judgment, often evoking in them cognitive dissonance and other changes such as low self-esteem”. This intentional distortion of history should be rectified. Yes, there was voter suppression that caused significant bias in the Bush-Gore and the Trump-Clinton elections, but the reason George W Bush became president was due to a Supreme Court ruling and the intentional obsequious sycophant – Al Gore who “conveniently” failed to question the count. Remember, Al Gore was the co founder with Bill Clinton of the Wall Street and Koch funded Democratic Leadership Council; so Gore just rolling over which was no surprise. As George Carlin said, “It's a big club, and you ain't in it. You and I are not in the big club.” And while we’re quoting George, never forget, “Bipartisan usually means that a larger-than-usual deception is being carried out.” As for Trump in 2016, the real cause is also very simple; I don’t need to resort to Gaslighting to convince the rubes of those facts. The plutocrats gave the people the choice of the treacherous warmonger, criminal and traitor to the working class – Hillary Clinton, or the Republican who was promising to drain the swamp, maintain social security, and return middle-class jobs. Now, I’m not saying those who voted for Trump weren’t gullible, but I can understand why they voted the way they did; rats in a burning cage will chew through anything to escape the flames. The Democratic Establishment wanted to obfuscate this political reality, especially when it was compounded with the treachery of the Podesta emails exposing the Clinton establishment treachery against Bernie Sanders; so they invented the Russiagate scam that has failed so miserably. The only person who pushed the Russiagate scam harder than Hartmann was Rachael Maddow at MSNBC, and even she hasn’t mentioned Russiagate in weeks. Isn’t it miraculous how these scams are so quickly forgotten once they are shown to be false in the new 24 hour news cycle? Hartmann may not have won the “Russiagate Obfuscation” award, but I would like to present him with the “Political Gaslighting” award. Yes, there are some excellent Gaslighters in the mainstream media (e.g. Maddow, Chuck Todd, Brian Williams), but I believe they pale into insignificance when compared to the Corporate Liberal “Progressive” Hartmann.
