The room these collaborators find themselves in now is a bunker retrofitted to serve as a toddler’s gilded playpen. The lame-duck president they cater to is running amok in a second childhood of ceaseless tantrums and slobbering irrationality. 🎁 Article nymag.com/intelligence...

📌This naked statue of Trump, The Orange Plague, in the European Parliament in Strasbourg is exactly how you handle this deviant, who uses his office to celebrate himself, and crush others. He needs to know that THIS is how he will be remembered when he finally takes his last gasp.

Before he was appointed, Kash Patel was flagged by FBI counterintelligence agents as being deeply enmeshed in influence operations run by the Russians and Chinese. After he took over, Patel began systematically eliminating all Russian and Chinese counterintelligence capacity. What to make of that?
npr.org
As Trump focuses the FBI on immigration, counterintelligence is falling behind
The cuts come as a consequence of President Trump and FBI Director Kash Patel's focus on violent crime and immigration, leaving other priorities understaffed.

It's like living through a waking nightmare. A horrific fever dream that never ends. An endless parade of freak-show swindlers, depraved clowns, and brain-dead zombies. None of it seems like it could possibly be real. It's just too ridiculous, gaudy, insane, and cruel. I just want to wake up!!

🚨BREAKING: Democrats are suing the Trump administration for using $20 million in taxpayer money on campaign-style TV ads promoting Trump. The ads carry explicit disclaimers saying they were paid for by the U.S. government, which the party argues violate federal law.
Court document with case title: Democratic National Committee vs. Donald J. Trump, The White House Office, Office of Management and Budget, and U.S. Department of Homeland Security, filed in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. The complaint alleges misuse of taxpayer dollars for political advertising.

Throughout history the tools of man have changed, but the goal of man is the same: Domination & power. The people in power only wish to attain more power in an endless loop until inevitable violent resistance emerges. If you want to see what they will do just look at what they have already done

Venezuela's Cardon Oil refinery, the country's second largest at 310,000 barrels per day, just unexpectedly exploded and caught fire, forcing a full shutdown. The fire started at a gas line connecting the refinery's diesel hydrotreater and halted the whole plant, including the boilers. #ETTD

Another corruption story, and the volume makes it hard to absorb one before the next arrives. The real work is understanding why the guardrails failed. The good news: democracies have faced corrupt regimes before, and we know how to hold power accountable.

Troy Jackson clearly won tonight’s first Maine Senate debate, repeatedly putting Susan Collins on the defensive over Trump, Kavanaugh and her record in Washington. Collins leaned heavily on seniority and what she’s delivered for Maine — but Jackson landed the sharper punches by far.

I am aware of the history of 20th century fascism and grew up around Holocaust survivors. When fascism returns, they said, expect indifference or outright cowardice from 90% of your friends, neighbors and colleagues. AND YET, it still shocks me to see this groveling cowardice in real time.
