8 June 2017 update:
Greetings, fellow Dot Calm Readers, Freedom Fighters, and Truth Crusaders!
Walp, yesterday's hearings with Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and the three Intel Chiefs--NSA chief Mike Rogers, Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats, and Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe--was a big fat nothing-burger. All four dodged questions, refusing to say whether or not they had been asked to interfere in the Trump-Russia investigation. Coats clearly committed contempt of Congress, which reacted by pouting and mewling with ever-so-slight discontent.
Ehhh, whiskey tango, over?
Seriously--if tRump HADN'T pressured these men to interfere with the tRump-Russia investigation, they would have been shouting it from the rooftops.
Get it?
They COULD have DENIED tRump's behavior, but THEY DIDN'T.
That should tell you something.
To me, it means that tRump HAD to have pressured them--he obstructed justice by pressuring them to obstruct justice.
Welcome to the cover up, assholes.
Think about it...
If tRump were innocent, he wouldn't have one of his PACs take out political attack ads against Comey, duh. And he wouldn't have asked intel and DOJ professionals to back off the tRump-Russia investigation. And he wouldn't have done a million things he HAS done since the inAUGHuration.
And there's no way in hell Comey was going to chop of tRump's haid, either.
Comey did, however, testify that tRump asked him to lay off investigating Flynn. And Comey was smart enough to release his seven-page statement yesterday so that everyone would know what he had to say and tRump couldn't derail the testimony.
And, on top of that, Comey was smart enough not to read his prepared statement--preferring instead to drop a few bombshells. Like knowing that, if tRump wasn't under investigation for collusion yet, there was a good chance he would eventually be. And how the FBI knew enough not to give Sessions critical information because the FBI knew that Sessions would recuse himself long before he announced it.
According to Republicans, this is all perfectly fine--"it could have been worse"..."tRump is st00pit"..."the self-proclaimed billionaire who claimed that he alone could fix the federal government is too much of a neophyte to know that obstructing justice is wrong"...and other such bullcrap basically constitute the "defense" they are using for their fat, orange Russian boi in the White House. For fuck's sake...tRump has spent more time in court than Perry Mason, as one astute Tweep pointed out. tRump knows it's wrong to obstruct justice, and I can prove it to you: if tRump hadn't known he was about to break the law, then why did he ask everyone but Comey to leave the room?
In short, friends, we are well and truly skr00ed.
According to Twitter user alt_fec, there simply isn't a mechanism to undo the election, even if there were all the evidence of Russian hacking in the world. There is nothing we can do to invalidate the election, hold a special election, or anything else until or unless tRump is impeached and removed from office--at which point, we'll have to do the same for
Friends, we are up shits creek without a paddle...or a canoe.
SMH.
All snark aside, if you want the Cliff's Notes version of what went down in yesterday's hearing, listen to Randi. It's too good to wait for todaze m00bies.
Come to think of it, so's Randi's vid from today:
Did you know that ickle donnie and eric tRump siphoned money off St. Jude's charity for children with cancer and put that money
into their own pockets?

War on the rocks: Washington and the Latest Qatari Row
...According to Reuters, Iran blames Saudi Arabia for the two-pronged attack yesterday in the Parliament and Khomeini's mausoleum--both of which symbolize key democratic and political aspects of Iranian governance. Since Saudi Arabia cut off Qatar and Iran sided with Qatar, it makes sense that Iran would think the Saudis were behind the attack. Meanwhile, tRump crowed that he instigated the split--that the Saudis cut off Qatar because he "advised" them to. That sounds like bullshit, but if it-snot, it begs some interesting questions...like why would tRump want to cut off Qatar when it's not only the biggest American military base in the Middle East but also the site of one of his hotel "deals"? And why does tRump NOT know that Iran doesn't support ISIS and that ISIS HATES Iran?

ACLU: ACLU Statement on Nomination of New FBI Director
...Friends, this will give you pause. In addition to concerns about tRump and his demands of fealty, the ACLU had this to say about tRump's nomination of Christopher Wray to head the FBI: "“Christopher Wray’s firm’s legal work for the Trump family, his history of partisan activity, as well as his history of defending Trump’s transition director during a criminal scandal makes us question his ability to lead the FBI with the independence, even-handed judgment, and commitment to the rule of law that the agency deserves. Given that Wray touts his deep involvement in the Bush administration's response to the 9/11 attacks, which includes his connections to some of the most unlawful legal memos on Bush-era torture programs, the Senate should press Wray to come clean about his role in the programs. In this important moment for our country, the American people deserve a commitment from any nominee for FBI director to the foundational principles of our Constitution, and that that commitment outweighs any loyalty to a political party or a single politician. We will be watching closely in the coming days to ensure Wray makes these commitments and earns the trust of the public."

Reuters: Republicans take knife to post-crisis Wall Street reforms
...Remember what I said about Republicans axing Dodd-Frank while we were all mesmerized by Director Comey? There's a reason they do this: they engineer the economy to crash so that they can extract all the money from it. Like in the 2008 crash, the plutocrats crashed the market, which killed our jobs, so they could foreclose on our homes...which means that they got not only our houses but our equity in them...and then, when they deigned for us to become re-employed, they sold us our houses back at full price. It's a win-win-win for them...not so much for us. Dodd Frank was a modest measure to keep the banks from gambling with OUR money...but then the plutocrats can't crash the economy with pesky regulations like that in place...so it had to go.

Greetings, fellow Dot Calm Readers, Freedom Fighters, and Truth Crusaders!
Today, I have a special treat for you: no essay!
Nope--today, allow me to present a poem written by my friend Jim Stahler...the first installment of a few he graciously sent me.

BACK TO WHERE THEY BELONG
©Jim Stahler
[11-27-14 This is a response to those who think that illegal aliens should all be deported because they broke the law. The problem is worse than anyone can imagine.]
Driving down the highway
Those cars go zooming past,
Changing lanes without signaling
While they go way too fast.
They must be illegal aliens.
Send them back to where they belong.
A native born American
Would never do anything wrong.
In high school and in college
Getting drunk is all the rage,
Imbibing too much alcohol
Even though they’re under age.
They must be illegal aliens.
Send them back to where they belong.
A native born American
Would never do anything wrong.
In the hallowed halls of congress
They’re doing what they should not.
Taking bribes and having sex
And stupidly getting caught.
They must be illegal aliens.
Send them back to where they belong.
A native born American
Would never do anything wrong.
A red, white, and blue American would never do anything wrong.
You and I are true Americans; we would never do anything wrong.

The Intercept: Top-Secret NSA Report Details Russian Hacking Effort Days Before 2016 Election
...Nutshell: Reality Winner is a 25-year-old who had access to top secret information and who leaked it to The Intercept, apparently without any concern for getting caught. The NSA's attention to what she leaked verifies that the information is accurate. However, it does not show evidence of Russian hacking of our actual voting machines--which makes sense because they're not connected to the Internet--EXCEPT that Russia DID hack into the software company that makes the software IN our voting machines (see todaze DN! headlines below for the full story on that). We're not sure yet what exactly Russia did--it could all just have been exploratory this time around. However, the document and NSA's reaction to it do confirm that PEWtin LIED when he denied Russian interference with our election in his interview with Megyn Kelly. As if we didn't expect as much.

But, wait--there's moar! Wanna know how the Russkies got orange twAtler's goat and goaded him to dismantle our alliance with Qatar?

unless, as he says, you're a total globalist. "It's not a parody account--it's performance art!" He also urges us to retweet everything he says unless we want the globalists to win. (Srsly, friends--he's a riot. Don't drink coffee while reading his tweets.)

Boycott media!
Don't bother with these media outlets any more unless you want trump propaganda--these media outlets have whored themselves out to trump for access for the low, low price of "fancy" cocktails and a "fancy" dinner, consisting of Donald's shriveled orange acorn dick, at chump's "fancy" (aka FAKE PLASTIC, just like everything else about trump and his FAKE PLASTIC family) "resort" in Florida. What an upstanding, responsible response to trump's denying press conferences since 27 July 2016...retch. So much for comforting the afflicted, afflicting the comfortable, and speaking truth to power to keep that power reined in and in check...!
- Axios
- Bloomberg
- Breitbart because duh--according to AlterNet, Howard Dean Lends Voice to Consumer Activist Group Hitting Breitbart in the Wallet—And It's Working
- CNN
- FOX because of course
- MSNBC (includes Joe Scarborough, but Rachel Maddow and Chris Hayes may still be OK as long as their corporate overlords allow it)
- NBC (they also have the reality TV show conflict of interest--and they just hired a couple of FUX Noise escapees, so beware a hard swing to the far, far right)
- POLITICO--their top editor(s) went and paid to party with trump, so now more and more trump propaganda has been showing up there, to my infinite disgust
