Listen up, Donald!

   Listen up, Donald!
   Can it be that everybody else is wrong, including the FBI, the CIA, the director of national intelligence and more than a dozen other anti-spy agencies who have said the Russians tried to influence the American presidential election?
   There doesn't seem to be any clear evidence that they succeeded, but there's plenty of evidence that they tried. In any case, you won. And no, it was not a "landslide," as you have boasted, claiming the largest electoral margin in American history.
   A margin of 74 electoral votes was comfortable, of course, but as for being the largest ever, no way. And as for a "landslide," you got buried in the popular count, falling nearly 3 million votes behind your opponent.
   The system was "rigged," as you complained about many times during the campaign. But if it was rigged against you, how comes it that you won? So maybe the fix was in, after all.
   You also warned that the "system is broken," and that "Only I can fix it." Considering the results, maybe you were right. The system is broken, and you fixed it so that you won. Did you have help from the Russian hackers? Just a question.

   Wait a minute. Here's another thought. Maybe the Russian hackers were trying to fix the election results so that you lost. An interesting thought, but if so, they failed. The highly touted Russian intelligence system had their chance, and they muffed it. And now they're being booted out of the country.
   And what's your reaction? Bleh! "It's time to move on."
   You've been plentiful in your praise of Russian leader Vladimir Putin many times in the past. Why not now? Could it be that your Kremlin buddy failed you? Or could it be that he actually helped, and now you can't admit it. Maybe that's why you're making little of President Barack Obama's action in booting a spy squadron out of the country.
   You could, however, invite them back in after Inauguration Day.
