Is anyone surprised that the party of Trump and Putin is also the party that wants to gut our foreign intelligence capabilities? Anyone remember Trump's brilliant plan to make US cybersecurity a joint operation with the Russia? https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSKBN19V1SB/ Can't help but think that gigabytes of phones calls between GOP pols, Trump's inner circle and Russian intelligence targets are already archived at Meade.
This week is the calm before the Stormy Daniels ....I tried to avoid much more than headlines this week, so as usual, my gratitude for the Cliff's Notes (Asha's Notes?) version. My radio silence was not to avoid reality, but mentally digesting the minimum, and still maintain a sense of hope with a positive outlook. The media echo chamber seems to repeat the same lines with the "Stormy Daniels / Hush Money" case nickname sticking, alas, and its to the extent I can't even remember the proper title for this case. That name not only popularizes the case by adding some "naughtiness" to it that attracts the National Enquirer set, BUT it trivializes the gravity of it, as Asha repeatedly reminds us. Glad you are doing your own taxes, Asha. I heard of this one guy who was once President of the United States, and he relied on accounting firms to do such work. Although he always chooses the best as he assures us, somehow that firm inflated his assets for the purposes of loans, and reduced valuations for tax purposes. And now he is on the hook for half-a-billion dollars!! Sometimes bad things happen to good people....but in that case, a good thing happened to a VERY bad person.
I highly recommend to Section 702 discussion to anyone who didn't hear it. It covered so much more. I have been able to enlighten a number of people about the working processes of surveillance because of it.
I seem to remember reading somewhere in 2016 or 2017 that not only was the DNC hacked, so was the RNC. But only the DNC emails were released in effort to influence the election. Has this ever been further verified beyond those initial news stories? If true and it was Russia that got RNC insider info, could that explain so much of the right's pro-Putin tendencies?
I had company all last week so needless to say, lots to catch up on from the past two weeks on Substack and elsewhere. Getting ready to hear this installment of It's Complicated and hope to make the Office Hours Friday!

Actual facts:
Trump lost the popular vote to Hillary in 2016 by 2.9 mil.
Trump lost the 2020 popular vote by 7 mil and the general election to Biden.
There is not enough evidence of voter fraud to change those statistics.
Almost none, actually.
He's going to lose 2024, too.

You’d think Trump would sue Stormy Daniels for violating the NDA and get his money back.
