I think the Russia investigation is important and all that, and while Jimmy dore has in some ways gone off the deep end, I do think he is right in saying that the Russia stuff distracts from a lot more serious issues with our country.

Russia didn't suddenly make our country divided politically, it didnt suddenly turn our government corrupt. It might be stoking the fire, but they didn't start it. It's easy to point at them and turn them into the villian but at the end of the day the real fault lies at home. And, similarily, Donald Trump wasn't the start of corruption either. The government didn't suddenly become a terrible institution when he took office. He is a symptom of problems that have been festering for a long time, long before any of this Russia business
