If I'm recalling correctly, allegations of Russian election interference didn't involve kicking third parties off the ballot, gerrymandering, bottomless dark money, Israeli loyalty oaths, limiting debate participants, voter role scrubbing, primary vote total shenanigans, single voice corporate media censorship, 6 hour waits in predominantly minority neighborhoods, billion dollar campaign thresholds, leaked debate questions, or dubiously slow multi-day vote tallies but instead posting a few Internet memes.

Wow, those Russians really know how to screw up an election.

On the topic of absurdity, I just posted an episode called Jokers on the Left, Clowns to the Right about Russell Brand's interview of Matt Taibbi. At first I was alarmed that Homeland Security labeled anyone a domestic threat agent who "undermines trust in US institutions." But after listening to Matt and Russell and Caitlin, I started laughing. How can you take this seriously? It's not an act of strength but of the empire flailing as it goes down. One viewer sent love to all the domestic threat agents around the world. DTA solidarity!

It's a fun episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLp-RMC5AhQ
