I Hope "Socked & appalled" Doesn't Become The New "I have concerns"

Shocked & appalled—I just left a 90 minute classified briefing on foreign malign threats to our elections. From spying to sabotage, Americans need to see & hear these reports.

Protect our democracy from destruction by declassifying key intel describing the danger of foreign subterfuge to our elections. Congress has been briefed, but sworn to secrecy—unacceptably.

Senator Richard Blumenthal

Senator Blumenthal is sounding the warning that we need to hear the classified information about foreign election interference that has him so alarmed.  

A real patriot knowing that the Trump regime is the tool of Putin and the domestic billionaires who are at least as big a danger to our democracy and that the Republicans in the Senate are their accomplices, would release the information if it is as bad as I suspect it must be. 

He wouldn't leave it at sounding an alarm, that doesn't work.  If the Obama administration hadn't been so prissily fixated on doing things the nice, regular way, we would not have Trump getting scores, soon hundreds of Americans killed in the pandemic.  And that's just one of the enormous hits that America took because the Obama people wouldn't smash that convention when it would have prevented the disaster that Trump has been and will be until the Republican-fascists are removed from office.  

There have been signs that the Democratic Party in my state,  Maine, has been ratfucked,  I was told about a mass mailing that is allegedly from one of the campaigns that contains the addresses of all of the people it was sent to - I'm not on that list so I didn't get it - I encouraged the person who informed me to send it to the campaign that it targeted and he turned all nervous nellie about doing that.  And if they have been ratfucked, I have little doubt that local and the state government have not been targeted if not compromised. 

FOR PETE'S SAKE BLUMENTHAL, KING,FEINSTEIN, WHITEHOUSE, ANYONE, STICK YOUR NECK OUT, PUT YOURSELF IN DANGER FOR DEMOCRACY.  

When some of her caucus wanted to suspend business in the House in the early months of Covid-19,  Nancy Pelosi who is certainly in  the most endangered cohort of the population said,  "No, this is what we signed on for."  Would that more of the Democrats in the Senate would have that same ethic.
