File under a Nixonian CREEP and actually creepy, Politio is reporting that Republican operatives did a peeping Tom job on a meeting at the DCCC headquarters Wednesday night, shooting photographs of slides being shown at a strategy meeting in the conference room there.  I’ll refrain from criticizing Dems for being stupid enough to have this meeting without the blinds being drawn, but shame on the GOP knuckle draggers for actually shooting photos through the windows.  Not only did they shoot the photos, but then published a full report which was obtained by Politico.  They then bragged about it.  Sidenote: the NRCC has declined to sign an agreement with the DCCC to not use hacked or stolen data.

The state of our politics today, made worse by the mobster infesting the WH and tearing down every norm established for proper governance of our country.

And to John Cornyn and Ted Cruz…this is on you.

Since we all know that Russia prefers Trump to any other US president (since Putin said so on global television) it’s not a surprise that Russian military hackers got into the systems of Burisma, the Ukrainian gas company where Hunter Biden was on the board of directors for a few years.  Ignoring the stupidity of Hunter’s taking of that job, there is no evidence of wrongdoing by him or his father, but that didn’t stop the Russians from doing the job that Trump extorted Zelensky to perform, the move that drew an impeachment action against him.

The effort started in November just as the impeachment inquiry started in the House and Trump began frantically trying to discredit it.  Using phishing and spearphishing tactics (just like in 2016) the Russian GRU has been bombarding Burisma email accounts and have successfully stolen email credentials to get inside of the company.

The super frustrating thing about all of this illegal activity is not only Trump’s acceptance of it, but his encouragement for it to continue.  When is enough enough for Republicans?

Reversing himself less than 24 hours after he reversed himself after siding with Vladimir Putin 24 hours before that, Trump inexplicably said today that Russian intelligence is no longer targeting the US.  That’s bullshit, of course, and NO US or European intelligence agency agrees with him.  Making the vertigo-inducing statement today before a cabinet meeting, Trump added that Putin was not happy because, “there’s never been a president as tough on Russia as I have been.”

Jesus, my neck hurts.

There is a place for anger, and THIS is it.

Trump’s done it again, blatantly lying and walking back his idiocy after severe backlash over his shameful performance in Helsinki yesterday.  In a nationally televised statement before a meeting with Congressional leaders, he reversed his entire position from yesterday saying that he now believes Russia DID interfere in our elections and lamely said he had misspoken when he said that “Why would they?” when denying Russia’s involvement.  He now says he meant to say, “Why wouldn’t they?”.

It’s the same old, same old, and doesn’t pass the straight faced test.  God, I’m tired.

Yesterday, in a remarkable made-for-television moment, Texas representative Joaquin Castro finally said it:

“I wouldn’t be surprised after all of this is said and done that some people end up in jail.”

It came during an interview on CNN about the House investigation into Russia’s meddling in our election and the more than creepy warm and fuzzy relationship between Trumpworld and Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.

FINALLY, someone in Washington has said what millions of Americans have been thinking.

Newsweek is now reporting that FBI director James Comey tried to go public last summer in an editorial exposing Russian interference in the presidential election.  The overly cautious Obama White House said no.  After it became so obvious in the early fall, Obama finally consulted the goddam Republicans about the hacking, who predictably chose party over country, so blatant interference was allowed to continue through election day.  The worst case scenario resulted.

So, should we now add Obama to the list of people to blame for the catastrophe and daily slow train wreck unfolding on national television?

Unfortunately, methinks yes.
