1. C-SPAN is, as we know, independent of the gov't

But, it sounds lie someone there is already trying to suck on Trump's ass.

2. Trial run for January 20

when the Russian-Republican Propaganda Catapult will be fully operational.

10. The KGOP doesn't mind going along with this or at the least staying silent... buncha bastards!!

3. Puts me in mind of

Dr. Evil.

4. There was an incident at the Senate today, also.

The C-Span camera went out, all of the lights and power went out, just as Sen. Warner started asking questions to Mike Pompeo about Russian hacking.

The Russians are now interfering with Senate hearings and Moscow Mitch still won't schedule bi-partisan hearings about their election hacking. How much more proof do you need, McConnell, because here's the thing----the Russians are making you look very dumb.

5. RepubliCONS

are so busy trying to destroy WE THE PEOPLE that they can't see we are being infiltrated all over the place.

9. But they didn't hack our voting equipment. That's *impossible* nt

11. +1!!!, even though the report.... SAYS... Russians gained access to state & local electoral boards!

... nah, no hacking there... they just gained access to look at the voter and machine setting data and said... "we don't want none of that crap" / sarcasm

[blue neen]

14. Excellent point!

6. Very strange. Rachel Maddow reported on this weirdness today.

[Maru Kitteh]

15. not strange at all

totally coincidental. nothing to see. move along comrade.

8. It definitely got my attention and has me a bit spooked.

Two incidents in one day..the one in the Senate hearing and later in the afternoon ...both involving C-Span. I have a bad feeling about all of this. Just told my husband the other day that this country could be crippled by messing up our power grid and communications. In the senate the power went out and they had to move to another room. The C-Span disruption came when confirmation hearings were suddenly interrupted and replaced with Russian tv. No explanation was given and so far, no one seems to know why these two things happened. Were they related? Co-ordinated in any way? Who knows, but it sure gives me lots to think about tonight after I hit the hay. 😳

13. We're being putin notice, aren't we? As a nation, I mean.

We're also being taunted at DU. MIRT just shitcanned someone named KGBot001. My antenna keep twitching about a spate of newbies whose names and attitudes are just a bit too clever, some of whom have managed to slip into the general population.

It's not paranoia if they really are after you.
