David Frum and the crowd at the Army/Navy game differ on Trump’s Americanness:
Maybe it wasn’t tactical, but I still don’t understand why Hillary never said: “Take off that pin, it’s not your flag, you Putin stooge.” pic.twitter.com/TDfk0sgZ9M

US intelligence community: Russia acted to install Trump. 18 months from now, there won’t be a US intelligence community worthy of the name

* Frum is, in keeing with tradition, using the idea of “American” and “an intelligence community worthy of the name” to very specifically mean “happily carrying water for a certain illegitimate statelet.”
* I always find it funny how he shamelessly drums other people out of their own countries and institutions. I can remember him even ruling Edmund Burke beyond the acceptable bounds of conservatism due to his anti-Semitism! What’s Canadian for “chutzpah”?
* The casual way the pundit class calumnies the election and calls for the violent overthrow of the elected government is a little alarming. Last night pseudo-authority David Brooks was on PBS saying the Trump presidency may turn into an “authoritarian” state before the midterms. Like it’s gonna be the Third Reich or something.
You’d think that he–or at least his listeners–would be a little chastened by his unblemished record of 100% wrong predictions over the last 18 months. Not a bit of it.
