I've been thinking about this theory that Trump won the election because someone — presumably, someone Russian — hacked the vote counts in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan. As I said, I doubt there's anything to it.
But this thought keeps popping into my mind: For eight years in this country, we had to put up with accusations that Barack Obama wasn't really president because he wasn't born in the United States. And there was no more actual evidence of that than there is that Trump didn't really win the election because of hackers. Maybe those of us who aren't happy that Trump won should give the hacker story at least as much life as the birth certificate one. I mean, we can make up all sorts of phony evidence just like Trump and others did.
We don't have to believe it. I don't believe that everyone spreading the "Obama was born in Kenya" story really believed it. They just thought it was a good way to weaken a politician they didn't like and to whip up the really stupid people against him. You know…like the Clinton Body Count did.
We could do that. We could…
Oh, wait. I forgot. Someone has to have some integrity. Forget I said anything.
