Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Not New

There's a story in the Times about the FBI opening an investigation into whether Donald Trump was/is a Russian asset.  There seems to be some breathless responses to this, but wasn't this always the question since 2016-17?  Haven't we been asking this question since the Republican Convention in 2016?

I guess it's just another case of the Dirty Filthy Liberal Bloggers being right years before the sensible center catches up.

To save some time:  Global warming is real and caused by human activity.  Wealth inequality is a threat to democratic governance.  Donald Trump is a criminal.

Try and catch up.

UPDATE: OK, maybe the big news is that the NSA, FBI and CIA all have copious wiretaps on Trump's communications with Russia and others.  That would, indeed, be a big f-ing deal.
