He was not listening with the president's ears. He was not thinking with a president's mind. He was listening for any advantage he could take over a foreign country, not the national security of the USA or allies. He was thinking about how the president's power could serve his own purpose without any regard of the costs it would have to the country. Our country. The USA. Or it's allies.
THIS WAS A COLLECTIVE LAUGH. THIS WAS A COMMON EXPERIENCE. WHY?
What did he want from everyone they weren't going to provide?

I haven't read the book, but, some of this sounds familiar.
Rachel Maddow is reading some of the book. As far as I am concerned, there was warnings about Trump long before his inaugural. The people providing regular briefings to the presidential candidates complained Trump did not attend the briefings and was not interested in them at all.

President-elect Donald Trump said he does not need to receive the presidential intelligence briefing every day, suggesting in an interview aired Sunday that such briefings are repetitive and he is happy to rely on those around him on matters of intelligence and national security.
Trump has been given the daily intelligence briefing just a handful of times since winning the White House last month, alarming some in the national security community. But those briefings do not always change day to day, Trump told “Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace in an interview taped over the weekend. And when he does receive the briefing, Trump said he always instructs those offering him the information to contact him should new developments emerge....
Americans were caught up in the complaints they had about their own lives. People that elected Trump were tired of the Clinton email uncertainty that raised concerns about her worthiness. There were also people in grievance of what they believed and some still believe today is a government that does not solve their problems, but, causes them.
I met them. I looked them in the eye and listened to their ideas of how the government had to be ended because it was the problem. They were not interested in understanding the facts so much as ACTING to remove their pain. Trump was their molotov cocktail. So, one can look at this disaster of a president as the real wishes of those that elected him or they can look at a man that is and has been incompetent all his life, except, for what he wants, needs or desires.

Senior Trump administration officials (click here) considered resigning en masse last year in a “midnight self-massacre” to sound a public alarm about President Trump’s conduct, but rejected the idea because they believed it would further destabilize an already teetering government, according to a new book by an unnamed author.
In “A Warning” by Anonymous, obtained by The Washington Post ahead of its release, a writer described only as “a senior official in the Trump administration” paints a chilling portrait of the president as cruel, inept and a danger to the nation he was elected to lead....
I think the Republicans need to pay attention to the findings of the US House and protect their country from a dangerous president that is only going to get worse. The Trump Administration will not get better. How can it, it isn't even staffed.
Anyone ask Stephen Miller if he actually has a conscience? He must feel so overwhelmed by the mass dysfunction of this president he could be really scared.

Democratic candidates need to pay attention. The electorate is finding it difficult to feel confident about choices before them.
The American electorate needs to start feeling confident about their choice in the upcoming primaries. The candidate that can instill the strongest sense of confidence will come out a winner. The women candidates need to put their best on the table, they have that extra PROOF to succeed. The women candidates will be the first of their gender to succeed to the presidency, they have to overcome all the undeserved bias and bring confidence to the electorate.
Good luck.

It’s a year away, (click here) but the 2020 presidential election is considered to be a “significant source of stress” in a majority of Americans, according to a new poll.
According to the annual “Stress in America” survey from the American Psychological Association, 56% of U.S. adults identified 2020 as a “significant" stressor.
That is an increase from the contentious 2016 matchup, when respondents were asked the same question just three months before the election, and 52% of adults reported that the presidential election was incredibly stressful....

Welcome former Mayor Bloomberg. I was wondering if he was going to seek a run for the presidency.
He will be a direct challenge to Tom Steyer. These two men are rather interesting folks. They have been staunch supporters of the Democratic Party in recent years. Although I believe, if memory serves me, the former Mayor was elected as a Republican candidate to his mayoral office.
I needed to check.
He was a Democrat before his run for the mayoral office in New York City where he won as a Republican. The GOP is very different today and it is no surprise the former Mayor Bloomberg considers himself a Democrat again. He is not alone.
Mayor Bloomberg will be looked at by Democrats as an activist as well. He has been fighting the good fight, no different than Tom Steyer. Gun Control and recently the Climate Crisis with dedicated monies for MIT to help solve this urgent problem. The difference between the two Democratic activists turned candidate is that Tom Steyer hasn't served in government before and that may be a handicap with the former Mayor looking at his potential.
At any rate, if Michael Bloomberg decides to run for office I hope it is within the Democratic Party and not as an Independent. I wish him well, this has been his aspiration for some time now.

Mike Bloomberg, (click here) the billionaire former mayor of New York, is preparing to enter the Democratic presidential primary, according to NBC News, which cited a Bloomberg advisor.
The move didn’t necessarily mean Bloomberg, 77, was announcing a campaign, a source close to Bloomberg told NBC News. Rather, this source said, he’s doing this to keep his options open. Bloomberg is “troubled” by what he has seen in the Democratic field, the source added.
“He’s still not sure,” a source told CNBC. This source also said these are “unprecedented times” and that Bloomberg is concerned about what he’s seeing both from Democrats and President Donald Trump....

The Russian music crowd sourcing video made in Moscow is a real statement about the profound freedoms Russians experience everyday.
Moscow’s city court (click here) has ruled to disband an indigenous people’s rights group almost 20 years after its founding, the latest in a series of NGO shutdowns that critics see as retaliation for their activities.
Russian authorities blacklisted the Center for Support of Indigenous Peoples of the North/Russian.
Indigenous Training Center (CSIPN/RITC) as a “foreign agent” in 2015. Founded in 2001 to provide wide-ranging assistance to the peoples of the Russian North, Siberia and the Far East, the NGO renounced its foreign funding and was taken off the “foreign agent” list last year....
Russia has imprisoned a Jehovah’s Witness from Siberia (click here) to six years in prison on charges of “extremism,” the independent Tayga.info news website reported Tuesday.
Sergei Klimov was detained in the city of Tomsk in June 2018 on suspicion of being an “de facto leader” of a local branch of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Russia outlawed the Jehovah's Witnesses in 2017, making it a criminal offense for the group’s estimated 175,000 worshippers living in the country to meet or distribute literature....
YouTube needs to ban anything Russia and give them a taste of their own medicine.
