If you’re so smart, why aren’t you rich? Turns out it’s just chance. - One of my old pool-playing, drinking buddies used to say "He'd rather be lucky than good".

2016

A pretty good article on the Senate 2016 report here: A Collusion Reading Diary: What Did the Senate Intelligence Committee Find?  

This from Trump, Jr. seems odd. I don't know the full context but it looks like a straight-up phishing attempt. An unexpected message from an unknown person with a link. Trump Jr. clicks it and sends it around. It could very well have planted something on the PC of everyone who visited the site. You could be fired if you did this at most businesses. 

Guys I got a weird Twitter DM.from wikileaks. See below. I tried the password and it works and the about section they reference contains the next pic in terms of who is behind it. Not sure if this is anything but it seems like it's really wikileaks asking me as I follow them and it is a DM. Do you know the people mentioned and what the conspiracy they are looking for could be? These are just screen shots but it's a fully built out page claiming to be a PAC let me know your thoughts and if we want to look into it.

Co-opt & Corrupt: How Trump Bent and Broke the GOP

 Yet, as the former Republican strategist Stuart Stevens asserts in his new book, It Was All a Lie: How the Republican Party Became Donald Trump, it would be a mistake to conclude that Trump had somehow simply hijacked the GOP. The Republican Party had already become a laboratory for American autocracy, a vehicle for power combining a base of white supremacists and gun-rights extremists with leaders like McConnell who had long approved of subverting voting rights and other democratic procedures to maintain their privileges and authority.

The GOP was already becoming “Trumpian” even before Trump himself appeared to complete its self-destruction as a democratic party. Enticing and intimidating individuals into becoming their worst selves as willing collaborators is what authoritarians do best. On this count, Trump has succeeded magnificently.
