I think it is totally fine for people to hear from Hillary Clinton about what she thinks of Tucker Carlson and Putin. Totally fine. She has free speech. People can judge for themselves. I don't know why free speech advocates are bitching about it... but that bitching is free speech too. It's great to see all this free speech happening.

The US intelligence agencies wrecked their own reputations over and over again. It is not a mystery why people don't trust them anymore and are curious about what Putin has to say. I think US intelligence agencies need to learn that lesson, learn that they can't deceive Americans, and work to earn back people's trust. America needs intelligence agencies that work for Americans, not for special interests. I still believe that is possible. But sadly I haven't seen any evidence yet that they are trying to earn back the trust of Americans. It is mystifying and disheartening. It may well be that America cannot be saved due to it's fundamental structure allowing special interests to control everything. If that is true, I expect continual decline until a third world war in which America loses. Be mentally prepared for that eventuality, and figure out what you are going to do about it to keep your family safe.
