I asked Glennbo for a clarification of his remarks, but he said he was too busy because he hasn't finished counting how many times Rachel Maddow said "Russia" over the weekend...

Aside from The Young Turds and the trust fund socialists at Chapo Trap House, who pays attention to him any more?

Stolen from the below tweet I think we've found the perfect nickname for him.

8. the evolution of an excuse

the tweet outlines the process well:
1. made up hoax by various sore losers
2. no proof at all
3. some random minor players had some random minor violations, big f'n deal (aka "everyone does it&quot
4. even if it's all true, big f'n deal

imho, we'd all like to think this doesn't work. but i think it will. this is partly assisted by the way Trump's approval/disapproval numbers have ossified over the last 6 months or so -- that 40% has completely accepted and normalized him, and will support him eagerly no matter what. this evolutionary sequence has been provided by their various agitprop outlets to give them an easy way to represent themselves while doing so.
