A group organized
by Russian “KGB” moles “influenced” the 2016 US Election to such a degree as to
tilt the result to one candidate, Donald Trump.

Horrors! Millions
have been infected by the “fake news” perpetrated by those forces of evil.

our spiritual founding father (the other guys being slave owner,
philosopher-types, notwithstanding), PT Barnum, and the phrase closely
associated with him:
“There is a sucker
born every minute.”
The question is,
How did our society get to such a depraved state in which the Barnum line
supplants our founding fathers' “Out of many, one,” or E pluribus unum?
