It has proven this whole Russia probe is a hoax.
Yes, it shows that I’m totally innocent, folks.
I’m delighted it clears me, as I have been hoping,
Of the falsehoods that I, in the past, did some groping.
And it proves, without doubt, that I didn’t miscall
My inaugural crowd as the largest of all.
Yes, it vindicates me, showing evidence I’ve
Been correct on the guilt of the Central Park Five.
(Though the DNA showed that they weren’t even there,
I have said, nonetheless, they should all get the chair.)
And it proves, as I said long ago to my base,
That Obama was born in some dark shithole place.
So this memo’s release caused in me pure elation,
’Cause there’s nothing so sweet as complete vindication.

Become a Sustaining Donor This September

Between the reemergence of right-wing red-baiting and Donald Trump’s use of the chilling National Security Presidential Memorandum–7 to criminalize left political organizing, we’re seeing McCarthyism reborn before our eyes.

This assault on democracy cannot be ignored or wished away. Resisting it requires bravery in the face of threats and repression, a steadfast commitment to the truth, and the unwavering belief that we can—and will—overcome this darkness.

We must have an independent media that sets the record straight, unearths corruption and abuses of power, and advances a politics of justice and dignity for all if we’re to win this fight.

That’s why I’m writing to you today. This September, The Nation needs to add 100 monthly donors to sustain our progressive journalism. Your contribution makes the next investigative report, the next truth-speaking column, and the next pathbreaking essay all possible. 

I hope you’ll support our work with a recurring donation today. If you donate $10 or more a month, we’ll send you a brand new “Hands Off the Free Press!” sticker to recognise your commitment to our cause. Please, donate today. 

Onward,

Katrina vanden Heuvel
