What the Real Weaponization of the Federal Government Looks Like

The African American community, at-large, is in a conundrum. While flag-waving bigots and racists are up in arms, sometimes literally—à la January 6, government spying is real for Black Americans. The GOP has decided that the FBI and the DOJ have been weaponized against primarily insurrectionists and old white conservative...

Rube Goldberg Would Be Confused

Rube Goldberg was an inventor and cartoonist who satirically depicted complicated machines to perform simple tasks used to show the absurdity of over-thinking. In March of 2016, with eight months to go in former President Obama’s first term, the then-Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell refused to consider the current Attorney...

Donald J. Trump: Russian intelligence's 'confidential contact' for 40 years

It seems clear that Trump will continue to be a Russian asset, with the bonus of classified information transferred even beyond his presidency. A new book by Craig Unger features a former KGB spy, Yuri Shvets as a source. …Trump first appeared on the Russians’ radar in 1977 when he...

previewing Trump's Saturday Nuremberg Rally

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump holds up a copy of the Bible he said his mother gave him as a youth during a campaign rally in Council Bluffs, Iowa, on Dec. 29, 2015.

'barricaded' Trump as classic counterintelligence risk: deeply in debt, angry at the U.S. government

Trump sells off his private helicopter after losing the election, so perhaps he’s cash-short, even as he’s running another grift, claiming he’d run again in 2024.

Watch Lindsey Graham Eat up Hannity's Crazy-Caca Like It's Ice Cream + #IAmTheWhistleBlower

What happens when a drunken Trump campaign aide mouths off about his contacts with Russian intelligence to an Australian diplomat at a bar in London, and the diplomat dutifully passes up details of the meet to his superiors? SPYING! Of course…. Meanwhile… Matty Yglesias has the true scoop skinny on...

Trump to Russia et. al.: “PLEASE spy on US citizens!”

There’s an aspect to Trump’s astonishing statement about accepting dirt on his opponents from a foreign source that I think has not been mentioned yet. Everyone is focused on his admission — his boast — that he would commit a federal crime by soliciting* and accepting foreign help, but lost...

Trump says he made Obama wiretapping accusation on 'a little bit of a hunch'

So how often do you make incendiary, slanderous accusations against former presidents based on an inkling? And would you do it multiple times (see: bullshit birtherism)? As we all remember, Donald Trump made a wild, completely unsupported accusation against Barack Obama back in March 2017, and now he’s admitting he did...

Conspiracy! Treason! Espionage! FARA?: Your guide to laws for l'Affaire Russe

This is a quick hopefully audience-friendly guide to the main charges that will (and won’t!) play a part in prosecuting collusion with Russia. In particular, I want to highlight the requirements for proving each of these offenses, because that’s valuable for understanding Mueller’s strategy as the various parts of this saga start to...

Karma about Jefferson Davis Defender of Slavery.

I was thinking about defender of slavery and traitor Jefferson Davis tonight because of the Senate debate in MS, and I am not sure if I ever wrote about how Davis’ slaves reacted to their “benevolent” slave owner.  First up, there is William Jackson who was a slave in the...

The third worst person in Washington

When it comes to the culpability for the dismal state of American politics and the accelerating erosion of our governing institutions, failure has a thousand fathers. At the top of the list of the usual suspects is Donald Trump, whose presidency of staggering incompetence, unsurpassed corruption, and lying at the...

Israel Appears To Be Launching A Major Operation In Syria

This evening — the same evening that Trump announced the termination of the Iran deal, and shortly after Netanyahu’s return from Moscow – Israel has started launching a wave of heavy missile strikes within Syria, in retaliation for an Iranian missile strike against Golan. What are they targeting?  In addition to things that...

Ed Snowden Reveals His Nuclear Option

It seems that Ed Snowden has guaranteed that he will not be silenced – or, rather, that the information he gathered on the NSA's (constitutionally-questionable) spying activities will not be buried.  No matter what happens to him, the info will be made public. Let's check this out below the Kosspaghetti.

I used to laugh at the jokes, “In Soviet Russia, Radio Listens To You!” and “In Soviet Russia, TV Watches You!”  Today, I'm not laughing so much any more.  In fact, I'm horrified.  I have one question to ask, though. Who did I campaign for? I thought it was for...
