I've been semi-hysterical today

[uppityperson]

I mutter or say "Israel" and break up laughing.

This is so bad. Yes, it may not been illegal, but how damn DUMB do you have tho be to not recognize the seriousness, repercussions and reactions to sharing classified information like that.

And with Israel.


Let's pick an ally with intense spying who shares lots of info to keep us safe, and piss them off.

And then not understand why they cut us off.

I've not bought into the "he's going to kill us all" mentality up until now, but he's going to kill a lot of us.

I can either cry, or laugh hysterically.

3. They probably gave the intel to us during Obama's time when it would have been secure.

Who knows what other intel secrets are now at risk under Trump?

4. On the bright side... you don't live with him or work for him.

The one thing that keeps me going is the amount of misery he's inflicting on his enablers , family and employees alike.

5. I write. Here's what is being published this week

Sometimes I wake up struggling in the blanket, trying to jump out of the pages of the John LeCarre novel we are living in. I don’t think that even he could come up with some of this plot because it would be considered too unreal. Trump has recently hired a new law firm, Morgan Lewis, which is none other than 2016’s Russian Law Firm of the Year! Seriously. I’m not joking.

Here’s what else is not funny. During the past 3 ½ months, a 61 year old woman has been sentenced to one year in prison for laughing during Sessions’ confirmation hearing for US Attorney General; a news reporter was arrested for asking Tom Price, HHS Secretary, questions about healthcare and 200 random people are facing 75 year prison sentences for felony arrests during Trump’s inauguration.

Republicon Congresspeople are conspiring with Trump by steadfastly ignoring the show in the Center Ring. Under cover of blatant graft and treason, they are weaving their destructive web of tax cuts for the wealthy at the expense of everything. Slowly the noose of fascism is tightening around the throat of our constitution, silencing the Great American Democracy for the greed of the few over the rights and needs of the many.

Will we live under the thumb of our new Russian Overlords? Or will we find the courage to wake from the slumber of partisanship and “other” to find our humanity and commonality as a free people who love our country and constitution? To quote Mariah Carey, “The Hero Lies In You.”

6. Perhaps Mr Netanyahu is feeling a bit nostalgic for Mr Obama today...?

...maybe he realizes that his Republican "friends" have led him to the ultimate cul-de-sac, and the "President" he wanted elected is a psychopath. I always thought the Israelis had a very finely-tuned sense of what's in their best interests...that faith has been eroded these past few years...
