EDIT 1: CNN has cut away from the discussion to cover Trump's tweets. Yahoo.com is doing pretty good so far.
Guys, there is some MAJOR testimony going down right now. Get goin' on this, we need to wrap our heads around it:
They are discussing Russian trolls, in our government chambers. I'm OK with this.
Just wait for the press releases. I'll edit things.
Nothing is going to happen as a result. Nobody who has actually done wrong will get in trouble. Nobody who directed or enabled others to commit wrongdoing will get in trouble. Theater, pure and simple. Meanwhile our public servants are selling off the citizenry to the first schmuck with a blank check. But it's all those other guys that are crooked, my representatives are upright, law-abiding progressives doing their best to represent the best interests of the people of the great state of Michigan.
They're getting a lot of things right. I'm pleasantly surprised. The good news: A story is emerging that transcends partisanship. The bad news: Tensions with Russia are about to skyrocket further. Jury's still out on Trump's direct ties, but things don't look good for him. This is growing way too big to sweep under the rug. Global misinformation epidemic.
I am not sure that it matters. There's just too much information. You can't make the average person give enough of a shit. The true reformers of both the Blue and Red teams are being shouted down. Moderates have no place in an ecosystem of radicals except as food and scapegoats.This is growing way too big to sweep under the rug. Global misinformation epidemic.
