Donald Trump’s passionate hatred of ‘fake news’ began when Kellyanne Conway (aka: THE SHE-DEVIL) announced that at the presidential inauguration there had been a record turn-out. Even though most of the seats were empty. And when most of the press noted that fact, she coined that wonderful phrase ‘alternative truths’. Which is different from the ‘fake news’ that the rest of the press put out. In that… errrr… because… errrr… you see… well, its different. Mainly in that the White House machine puts out ‘alternative truths’ and anyone else uses ‘fake news’.

So how fake is the FBI? Or the National Security Agency (to avoid too many acronyms spoiling the broth once GCHQ enters the fray). The CIA have remained quiet. They do the overseas stuff, assassinations, war-mongering, over-throwing baddies, that kind’a thing.

But the presidential election is now forever tainted with hacking. And that hacking was done by the Russians (nothing ‘fake’ or ‘alternative’ so far? And Trump won. Which if nothing else makes him the beneficiary of outside interference in democratic process.

So Trump’s camp have claimed that Obama bugged Trump Tower. Why would he bother? He didn’t seem very interested in American politics for his last 2 years as president, why would he care about the ‘afterwards’?

And now the FBI and NSA have denied that any Trump Tower bugging ever took place, and they would know. Yet the Russian electoral interference remains on the table.

Elections are a problem. In France yesterday the 5 candidates for their own presidential farce took to a debate. Which was dominated by just 2 people. In fact I’m not sure any of the other 3 could speak French at all, such was their combined contribution. But Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen went at it. Over Europe, over immigration, over frikkin burkinis. And the problem is that Macron is the only viable person to take on the evil one-time neo-Nazi Le Pen, and he is currently being investigated over several issues regarding money. Euros. Francs. And dollars.

GOD HELP THE FUCKING WORLD
