Prediction:


Historians are going to have a bitch of a time trying find digital relics of this era.

NSA chief Admiral Mike Rogers testifies on Capitol Hill today that the Trump administration has not directed the NSA to try and disrupt any further Russian meddling in upcoming US elections.

Quote:
The National Security Agency (NSA) is a national-level intelligence agency of the United States Department of Defense, under the authority of the Director of National Intelligence. The NSA is responsible for global monitoring, collection, and processing of information and data for foreign intelligence and counterintelligence purposes, specializing in a discipline known as signals intelligence (SIGINT). The NSA is also tasked with the protection of U.S. communications networks and information systems. The NSA relies on a variety of measures to accomplish its mission, the majority of which are clandestine.

Wait, is not saying a thing that doesn't need to be said a smoking gun?

Prediction, history books will find a way to make Trump not look so bad.

Duh. There's a history book for every narrative.

Yeah, but I meant the ones in American classrooms, not some Howard Zinn book.

I'm gonna go with no on that one. Though I guess it depends on what you're comparing it to.

As if American history books will ever make America look bad. They'll give "equal time" to both sides of the story and kids will end up thinking that Trump had both good and bad points. Which sounds sarcastic in favor of Trump, but, like, **** him?

It depends on what we're referring to by "so bad."

They paint Andrew Jackson up like one the greatest heros of all time. If you can make Jackson look good you can make Trump look good. Time isn’t being so kind to Nixon, however. Hopefully, Trump will just be a curious footnote. So far, besides being a character, his record on climate change is probably the most damning but that was happening with him or without him.

It’s hard to say but right now I think the most important historical factor of this era might be a dangerous and disproportionate anti-Russian sentiment among Trump’s opposition.

Those spooky Russians meddling with our precious democracy. After years of yammering about it and Trump forever unaffected what happens to our anger?
