    This isn't about Trump but I hope we are doing something about it. If he's so big on infrastructure we should be spending money on redundancy, backup systems, etc.

    Russian hackers infiltrated US power networks and had the ability to trigger massive blackouts

    2016 Trump Tower Meeting Looks Increasingly Like a Setup by Russian and Clinton Operatives

    https://www.realclearinvestigations....e_a_setup.html

    This looks far-fetched to me but it is from Real Clear Investigations, who are serious folks. I'm just posting the article as evidence of what an unholy mess all of this has become. As for its accuracy, I'll quote William Goldman the screenwriter: "Nobody knows anything."

    So Clinton and the Russians trapped the Trump Campaign with the political equivalent of a Honey Pot Trap?

    It doesn't really change the fact that Team Trump jumped at it.

    You're showing your cluelessness about the power of covfefe.

    I'm enjoying watching Omarosa gain credibility with CNN now that she has turned on Trump. Amazing how that works.

    It is also amazing how numb we've become to this stuff. Maybe we should all step back for a minute and wonder why Trump would have hired her for a senior position in the first place. I think in a little over a year and a half he has made as many political missteps as all previous president combined, yet remains unaccountable for any of it, to the point where does anybody even pay attention or care any more? Pretty astounding.
