Translation, please.

Yes, because Putin doesn't have a CLUE what's going on in the US, because there has been absolutely no spying or collusion..... you really can't have it both ways.

Once you appreciate that Trump is Putin’s man in the White House, what he does makes more sense. Although Americans voted for Trump, as far as the Kremlin is concerned “Putin won”. And now Trump says to AG Barr - publish as much secret stuff as you want. What a gift to Putin!

Maddow, other MSNBC hosts see ratings drop, Fox up

NEW YORK (AP) — Rachel Maddow isn’t backing away from her coverage of President Donald Trump and any connection to Russia’s involvement in trying to influence the 2016 presidential campaign. The question is how much her fans want to listen.

Maddow’s audience has dipped on her two days back on the air since Attorney General William Barr reported that special counsel Robert Mueller had found no collusion between Trump and Russia’s efforts. Her audience of 2.5 million on Monday was 19 percent below her average this year, and it went down further to 2.3 million on Tuesday, the Nielsen company said.

Perhaps she needs to add a couple shots to her espresso?

He wondered aloud what journalists were supposed to do for the past two years as stories piled up about Trump and associates misleading Americans about contacts to Russians.

Eyeing the reports critically might have been a good place to start.

He said he wasn’t just unhappy about political critics, but also some in the media who are “hand-wringing” about the amount of coverage.

Which they seem to have invented ex nihilo. And in some cases, there has been no "seems" in the deliberate and malicious editing to manufacture a false narrative - it was patently obvious.

He criticized unnamed people who had “sold their soul to a personality cult.”

Seems that the criticism would apply mostly to the Trump anti-personality cult.

So - did the media learn anything from the debacle? Not to attribute veracity to reports from persons with a clear political objective without careful scrutiny, perhaps?
Not a chance.

Rachel’s show on Saturday was reporting about unusual new powers given to AG Barr to uncover the source of intelligence about Russian interference in the election, someone inside the Kremlin, whose name, Vlad would love to know. One hopes that US security services have what it takes to defend US interests against pro-Kremlin elements in the GOP and the Executive.

Rachel’s 24th May show is very interesting. The way things are shaping up, life will go on, but maybe not as usual.

Life will go on. When Rachel steps down, however, there will be no consoling you.

A commentator said about Boris (the favorite) that his naked ambition far outweighs his ability. We don’t know who the candidates are yet.

Tearful Theresa to step down on 7th June.

So who replaces her? Who'll end up being the next leader? That Boris guy [ETA: Boris Johnson], or someone else?

Well that explains why there wasn't a referendum at least.
