One thing I never got about

One thing I never got about all the effort made to paint Biden to have had scandalous business connections with foreign countries through his family is that Trump did a great job of making that sort of thing unimportant to his supporters and a scorched earth for those who criticized, investigated, or impeached him.

Nerve endings get tired.

Hard for me to imagine

Hard for me to imagine uncommitted and under-informed voters nodding their heads when Trump goes off on tangents about Burisma. I suspect this stuff really only registers with "base" supporters who are already voting for him. Frankly, he hasn't even really tried to communicate with anyone else since 2016.

It’s interesting that during the Bush years it was the job of lame centrist Dems to tamp down conspiratorial thinking while cool leftists pumped it up while under Trump the valence has flipped.

What did @JoeBiden know and when did he know it?

Will Chris Wallace bring it up, or will Trump have it in his pocket?https://t.co/FGcV6JvZ3q

OK, folks, let's be clear here: US IC "obtained insights into Russian intelligence analysis" is very vague wording....could mean many different things.https://t.co/ZkEagshoEM

Key phrase: "The IC does not know the accuracy of this allegation of the extent to which the Russian intelligence analysis may reflect exaggeration or fabrication."

Translation: it's RUMINT and perhaps just #deza bullshit

Without knowing WHAT this RIS information was and how it was obtained, it's impossible at the UNCLAS level to say much more.

However, the IC clearly thought it was crap, perhaps dangerous crap, and Trump's DNI is now weaponizing it in the service of 2016 Upside-Downism.
