Rachel Maddow and this whole Russian "bot" thing...

I found her show last night (3-21-17) incredibly fascinating, all the while frightening! She laid it all out, as she does so well...albeit at her own pace...

If I'm not mistaken Putin has always said he could bring the US "to our knees without firing a shot", that he has done no doubt. These "bots" open up an entirely new keg of worms so to speak...sabotage at its finest...Traceable? Provable? And if the originations are discovered, what consequences could/should there be?

I'm open to any discussion that'll ease this pit in my stomach...

Deflection as usual...

FBI: "We think Russia may have gained control of the White House."

GOP: We're really upset about how you learned that."

I wish...

pets lived longer and life wasn't so expensive and leftover french fries were still good warmed up and people didn't suck...

Proud grandma moment...

So yesterday my 7 year old grandson heard the word trump in a conversation, looks at me with these big brown eyes and says "trump? I don't like him! He's a creep! And why is he orange Nana? I don't know anyone else that's orange." Love that child! He speaks/reads English and Japanese fluently and could talk circles around the orange man.

On a scale of 1-10 (Marilyn Monroe-Armageddon)...

I would put Watergate at a 6. And Trump's ties to Russia/China at 9 -10 ... maybe 11 by the time we've uncovered the whole story. Russia is playing chess with the world while the rest of us think we're in a checkers game.

Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg...

Could she be our first, "baggage free", exceptional lineage, potential POTUS? Thinking of that possibility, with Joe Kennedy III raging on for us, gives me some hope in these dark times.

Need to apologize...

I'm new to DU, want to start out on the right path and feel the need to apologize for my home state producing the likes of Scott Walker, Reince Priebus and Paul Ryan...please forgive us Wisconsinites! We're not all assholes....
