[These fungi, called mycorrhizae (pronounced my-core-rise-uh), form thin strings called hyphae that can be hundreds or even thousands of miles long on a single plant! ] I copied this from Oshkosh Northwestern part of USA Today network because it makes me think of Putin and how he has spread his fingers all over the world just like this fungi.
Putin is a charismatic thug. tRump is so very much like a petulant child who’s a wannabe bully but is too prone to temper tantrums and cannot see beyond “me, me, meeeee!”
Incredibly dense Trump came on Fox and Friends and repeated Putin’s propaganda the day after Dr Hill denounced it live on TV at the impeachment hearings.
While Trump can’t seem to get his Congressional Medal of Honor, he could ask his Master Vlad for a Герой Российской Федерации (“Hero of the Russian Federation”). He’s certainly earned that one.
Again I recommend Diane Rehm’s Friday podcast interview, it’s an easily graspable gazetteer of the present process and past ones, too. It’s an ideal listen for for everyone. Even MAGA folks.
Congress has received security briefings that this is just a Russian intelligence operation to make people think it was Ukraine & not Russia that interfered in US elections. Why are Republicans knowingly promoting a Russian scam?
I highly recommend Kurt Andersen’s excellent 2017 book Fantasyland: How America Went Haywire: A 500-Year History, which makes the case that there has always been a subset of the American population that’s been prone to magical thinking and cultism (all the way from the Puritans to the pizza-pederasty conspiracy guy), just that it was usually so heaped upon with scorn and derision that it never had any major influence on society as a whole. That’s until it started winning elections.
In Germany, in the 1930’s, the rich thought the NAZIs would crush the Communists and that they, the rich, would control the NAZIs. The rich couldn’t see damage, they were about to cause. Today, the gop follows trump and doesn’t believe the Russkies pose a threat to them. The gop’s hubris won’t allow them to imagine the worst outcome. Groundhog Day, on a huge scale.
How can so many perceptive people fail to see that the corporate Dems’ “it’s the Russians! The RUSSIANS!!!!!” is nothing more than psywar? Is it a desire not to see how little real difference there is between the corporate Dems and the GOP?

He should be impeached for that.
