But as aides persisted, Trump became agitated. He railed that the intelligence couldn’t be trusted and scoffed at the suggestion that his candidacy had been propelled by forces other than his own strategy, message and charisma.

Could it be #DonaldTrump doesn't want to admit Russian meddling, not because he's Putin's hired hand, but because his own ego won't allow him to accept he won the presidency with any help?

In #TrumpNation lies are the new truths.

Yes, I suspect that's 99% of why he can't leave the election and Clinton behind. It's a reaffirmation of his egotistic narcissism, his belief he got to where he is by his own efforts. He can't even acknowledge the loan his dad started him out with because it might suggest he needed it. His whole life is a lie founded on an imaginary self-image.

It does seem he's mostly a useful idiot of Putin's. Perhaps not directly complicit in collusion, even though much of his former and current staff evidently is. By ignoring anything on the topic of Russia and leaving it up to his staff, he's trying to keep himself clean. "I couldn't do anything about Russian interference because nobody informed me about it!" People who understand Trump is a con man underestimate just how skilled at it he is. They don't call him Teflon Don for nothing. (Though personally I prefer Dotard Don.)

George Bush (II) was the first president with the moniker "Teflon" attached, I believe. Not that #DonaldTrump doesn't deserve it, but Bush was first as aides, assistants and Cheney all spent the better part of their careers making sure nothing dirty touched the desk of GWB.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
