And now we have had our daily newsdrop of scandal about the Trumps, this one involving Kushner asking to set up secured communications with Moscow at the Russian Embassy during the transition.
....
How long until indictments drop? Seriously.

How stupid do you have to be to set up something like that with the Russians? How do you think, 'Hey this is a good idea.'

My first instinct is to answer, not soon enough, yet part of me wants them to stay completely dysfunctional for a while until midterms at least.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I loved that bit in the WaPo article where they quoted a former intelligence officer saying, basically, "Did he think people wouldn't notice if he was just visiting the Russian Embassy all of the time?"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
What the actual fuck? Seriously.

'suela, I hate when you gear up for something and then it doesn't happen. It feels like I've been stressing for no reason.
I am worried that this latest scandal drop will have zero effect. It feels like the GOP will do nothing. It feels hopeless.

That's how I'm feeling about it, Kat.

I feel old. I remember when the GOP had concerns when people colluded with Russia.

It seems inconceivable that they aren't feeling the strain of hypocrisy. And yet.
So I got up before 7 AM and over the last 4-1/2 hours I have let the dog in and out several times, made myself breakfast, and read, read, and read some more. Total silence in my household. Bliss.
