The Peons and the Peed On
Author: BobR

The "common wisdom" for why tRump won the election is because "coastal liberal elites" looked down upon and failed to understand the needs of the white middle-class worker in Flyover Country. Those country boys (and girls) just couldn't connect with a woman who used words above their education level and sent emails. They somehow identified with "regular guy" Donald tRump.
ri-i-i-i-i-ght...
Needless to say - they are not a bright bunch. Are we really headed to Idiocracy? Consider some of the latest developments:
- The tRump Team says the inauguration will have a "soft sensuality". I have no idea what that means, but just the fact they phrased it that way is jaw-dropping.
- During the confirmation hearings for Jeff Sessions (for Attorney General, dear god), he was asked whether he thought "pussy-grabbing" was a crime. Not since the pubic hair comments during the Clarence Thomas hearings has such prurient testimony been heard in Congress.
- Based on a report from US Intelligence agencies, tRump actually colluded with Russian operatives. That is not just an impeachable offense - that's treason.
- According to what is being described as the FULL report, tRump - while in a Russian hotel - had sex-workers pee on the bed that the Obama's slept in when they visited Russia. The alleged full report can be found here. Specifically - page 2, paragraph 3:
(bold-face mine)
Assuming this is true (and the fact that it doesn't seem completely absurd speaks volumes), one has to wonder: who does this? Who has such an overwhelming need to strike back at someone they despise in such a potentially self-destructive manner?
A CHILD
He is a child - specifically, an early adolescent boy. His emotional development stopped when he was 12. He's a spoiled brat, used to getting what he wants, with the whole world as his toybox, with the time and resources to enact his revenge fantasies. This is his idea of "pissing on" the Obama's legacy. Imagine his machinations when he has all the power of the Executive office?
He has already denied this, and short of actual video being leaked by the KGB, his most ardent supporters will not be swayed. They are so used to being trickled on by the economic policies of Republicans, they don't see any other way.
The rest of America? They'd rather have President Obama. This is where we are in America, where a dangerous man-child - unliked by most Americans - will be sworn into the most powerful office in the world in just over a week. It feels like a countdown to an execution.

However, there were other aspects to TRUMP's engagement with the Russian authorities. One which had borne fruit for them was to exploit TRUMP's personal obsessions and sexual perversions in order to obtain suitable "kompromat" (compromising material) on him. According to source D, where s/he had been present, TRUMP's (perverted) conduct in Moscow included hiring the presidential suite of the Ritz Carlton Hotel, where he knew President and Mrs. OBAMA (whom he hated) had stayed on one of their official trips to Russia, and defiling the bed where they had slept by employing a number of prostitutes to perform a "golden showers" (urination) show in front of him. The hotel was known to be under FSB control with microphones and concealed cameras in the main rooms to record anything they wanted to.

we are now at four delayed hearings.
Hearings for Betsy DeVos, Mr. Trump’s choice to lead the Department of Education; Andrew Puzder, his labor secretary nominee; and Representative Mike Pompeo, Republican of Kansas, Mr. Trump’s pick to lead the Central Intelligence Agency, have all been pushed back as Democrats clamor for more time to collect and review the standard background checks that nominees traditionally undergo before their hearings commence.

Now that I have that have my inner 12-year old out of my system, for now, I have a serious comment. The golden shower show thing shows what a complete lack of good judgment. He is in a country who's intelligence services have mastered the craft of using honeypots to get people in compromising positions and yet he decides to get his freak on. Of course, the FSB was all over Trump. The hooker were probably FSB assets.

The FBI had this information according to this article from October.
Mother Jones has reviewed that report and other memos this former spy wrote. The first memo, based on the former intelligence officer's conversations with Russian sources, noted, "Russian regime has been cultivating, supporting and assisting TRUMP for at least 5 years. Aim, endorsed by PUTIN, has been to encourage splits and divisions in western alliance." It maintained that Trump "and his inner circle have accepted a regular flow of intelligence from the Kremlin, including on his Democratic and other political rivals." It claimed that Russian intelligence had "compromised" Trump during his visits to Moscow and could "blackmail him." It also reported that Russian intelligence had compiled a dossier on Hillary Clinton based on "bugged conversations she had on various visits to Russia and intercepted phone calls."
The former intelligence officer says the response from the FBI was "shock and horror." The FBI, after receiving the first memo, did not immediately request additional material, according to the former intelligence officer and his American associates. Yet in August, they say, the FBI asked him for all information in his possession and for him to explain how the material had been gathered and to identify his sources. The former spy forwarded to the bureau several memos—some of which referred to members of Trump's inner circle. After that point, he continued to share information with the FBI. "It's quite clear there was or is a pretty substantial inquiry going on," he says.

This thing has been floating around for months. Now we have the actual document and it is really damning. Above and beyond the prurient bits, there is even more to the story. I read the whole document on that was part of the Buzzfeed article last night. Using #GoldenGate as a starting point is a good hook. Because who doesn't like good old fashion sex scandal?

You know, when the trash hole tweeted this out, I thought he was talking about the unclassified version of the briefing that he got last week, NOW I seriously wonder if he was talking about the report that broke last night.
Before I, or anyone, saw the classified and/or highly confidential hacking intelligence report, it was leaked out to @NBCNews. So serious!

Tillerson flat out LIED on his questionnaire. Menendez asked him about their specific foreign policy views about Russia and Syria and he replied that they haven't even talked about it yet. Then Menendez pulled out his questionnaire where he had written that he & Trump already had a specific outline for foreign relations.

Good morning, bloggers!!
I fear that with Trump we have taken that One Step Beyond the Outer Limits of the Twilight Zone.
If these reports are, as I suspect true, then we have a president-elect who is subject to blackmail -- even apart from any financial dealings with Russian oligarchs.
My worry is that the press will have kid gloves on during the press conference. I have to wonder if they will ask tougher questions now than during the campaign.

For the next four years, it is perhaps safest to presume that a Trump spokesperson or official is lying when speaking.
In some good news, my interview yesterday went 45 minutes and seemed to go well.
