WOTD: "Taxonomy of Oligarchs"
WOTD2: "Trump was warned by the FBI (about Russian attempts to infiltrate)"
I have this weird image of Jared Kushner sneaking into the Russian embassy in the trunk of a limousine. Can't find the link.
The other Siberian candidate……

Another left wing useful idiot. I suppose she's less culpable since she was seated across the table instead of at his right hand like Michael Flynn.
The only candidate last year less qualified to be president than Donald Trump was Jill Stein.
Apparently Putin bet the field?? . . .
Vlad Putin is a master craftsman. There is evidence now that the Russians interfered in the Brexit vote last year in the UK. Also interfered in the Catalonia referendum. Maybe also in the German and French national elections.
But, hey, Moderatus. Trump and Putin are still best buds, right?
It's Putin's new Cold War, now played in propaganda and cyber-assisted manipulation. Expect Russia wherever they have something to gain, like destabilizing NATO.
Our State Department is all but neutered, our reckless reneging on international agreements from TPP to climate change and the declaration on refugees and migration has turned us into at best an untrustworthy power, and our top officials are so corrupt it'll be a wonder if even liberals think government is a good idea by 2018. Our populace is being told that our most elite institutions of law are somehow plotting a coup or an assassination, and our judgeships are being stacked with people who don't know the basics of court procedure.
If this isn't Putin's fondest dream of an election outcome, I don't know what he was aiming for. Former DNI Clapper's frank assessment is scary but feeling more "right" by the day: Trump is a Russian asset.
Another hat in the ring, from the site what shall not be named.
Charles Scheibe, Colorado’s chief financial officer, enters Democratic primary for state treasurer
But he starts from a big disadvantage. He doesn't have the name recognition that Lebsock has nor is he will do say and do outlandish stuff (so far as we know) to continue to get lots of attention and publicity.
And this morning's White Trash update…………

Bend over, America:
Party people in the house, say Yeah! Hey, you guys won another something.
A single vote just created a rare tie in Virginia’s legislature
Anyone tired of winning yet?
One more race outstanding there. The Republican incumbent leads by 84 votes, but 147 voters were given a ballot for another district. Not sure how the judges will rule on that one. It'll be a hell of a ride if they order a new election.
Hey Dacats and Daquettes, us Democrats really do care about you, but Christmas. You'll still be here when we get back, right?.
Democrats unlikely to force DACA vote this week, probably averting shutdown
We'll see. There are other more heinous possibilities of spending ram-throughs that are more hill-to-die-on for these particular Senators. Things like CHIP renewal and ACA fixes on our side, and trying to pass Defense increases for the year without matching domestic spending on the GOP side. And surely the Gilead and Burn-It-All-Down caucuses won't let the opportunity pass to try something.
Damn “fake news” liberal media . . .
. . . what about all those new West Virginia coal miner jobs, and the twenty new H-1B chambermaid jobs at Mar-a-Lago???
