Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

      Read this whole thread, which feels funny on first read, but I think it catalogs what happens to a person going nuts which isn't actually funny.https://twitter.com/TheViewFromLL2/status/958139600450580480 …

      Oh shit, I just realized something. You know how Trump always capitalizes Witch Hunt for some reason? He didn't always do that. In fact, the very first time he ever capitalized Witch Hunt was... when he was quoting Carter Page. https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/869867413776601088 …

      I think we're watching Page crumble under pressure and that's not a nice thing to watch in any case.

      Bingo. Yes. I think he was chum thrown into the middle of a big power play and he's cracking and it's not pretty.

      I'm not sure who is around him any more. I think that's part of the problem. Chum. My word of 2018 is officially "chum" as in "throwing chum in your wake" to deter pursuers.

      So, a key moment for me in my car, listening to NPR talking about Silvio Berlusconi, circa 2012. “How could a society degrade, how could these people put this degenerate in power. That could never happen here. US President is most highly vetted job in the world. They’re fools.”

      Every week I remember that point in my car and I have to eat those words, that smugness.

      In 1997 in Prague a bunch of Europeans said you're so much like us we can't believe you haven't moved here, and then w/o missing a breath said, but you have to stay and fix it. I told them I would. I stayed and tried, even 14 years after getting EU citizenship. I failed.
