Yeah, I've been reading about what has been occurring in Chechnya and it is indeed draconian stuff. Kadyrov is intent on maintaining an utterly dystopian landscape.

 

This morning, I also read a longform article detailing Comey's decision-making concerning the FBI investigations of both presidential candidates and the more I read, the more I became convinced that Comey was more concerned with his personal reputation and image than he was with even the FBI's image or it's appearance of partialilty.

 

It seemed as though Comey didn't want to risk being seen as doing anything that would make Clinton look good, even if it meant observing normal FBI protocol (to not discuss an active investigation-which he did, publicly), while he seemed unwilling to be forthcoming on the Trump investigation (despite the fact that there was an active investigation and he had already disclosed the investigation of Clinton's e-mails, already breaking FBI tradition of not discussing open investigation).

This tells me that Comey felt there was nothing to lose politically for publicly discussing the investigation of Clinton's e-mails (given the venom spewed from many in political circles toward Clinton) while fearing backlash from the GOP and its adherents if he were to disclose the investigation into the possibility of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin-given the tendency of the Republicans to engage in conspiracy theories, especially as it concerns Obama (and Comey was appointed by Obama and was technically a part of the Obama administration).

 

Many have stated that they think it was a mistake for Obama to attempt to be bi-partisan by appointing a Republican but Obama probably believed that everyone would put country above party and do their job to the best of their ability. If Obama made any mistakes it was probably trusting that people would do this.

Another group of people we might have been able to offer sanctuary to, if the election had gone differently. Michelle Obama was right. Now we know what not having hope really feels like.

I would say Trump might do it to posture about Russia, but the gay part would make Pence flip his lid...

I don't think I can stomach reading all of this tonight. I'll try again tomorrow.

 

Transcript of AP interview with Trump

 

Jeez Louise, that was painful.  He did a lot of talking without actually saying anything. How anyone could read that transcript and come away with a good impression of Trump is beyond me.  That was scary.

Trump is unintelligible was trending on Twitter this morning. I don't know whether it still is though.

I guess you all have read At a ‘Unity’ Stop in Nebraska, Democrats Find Anything But(or some such similar article), given that you've been discussing the figures involved.

 

I hate this stuff because even when the GOP and Trump are at their most unhinged and aimless we still end up with "Democrats in disarray." I feel like Bernie Sanders just has to be a contrarian and also has a long memory and that's a very bad mix.

She has walked back a bit of it now...saying he asked to meet her at his hotel not hotel room, but....she still stands by her initial story.

Now he wants us to make down payment on the wall if he wants a wall he can just pay for it himself.
