Catching up with the news after my periodic wknd news blackout and I regretted almost immediately. Couple things that jumped out at me

quote:

But as anxiety grows — and as the fog surrounding the Trump-Russia question gets thicker — there is a tangible fear of the unknown. No one knows how far Trump and his affiliates would go to silence their critics, or the reporters they talk to.

Rumors have ricocheted among national security officials and journalists in recent weeks that Trump- or GOP-related operatives have hired private eyes to try and intimidate reporters, or run rogue operations to find their sources. Some U.S. officials voiced concern to POLITICO that the White House could be seeking amenable employees in different agencies to do its bidding, effectively sanctioning its own, parallel — and informal — intimidation measures.

The Obama administration was known to be hostile toward reporters’ sources, prosecuting more leak investigations than any of the previous administrations combined. But there was a standard — though still worthy of criticism — that leak prosecutions involved clear and present threats to national security.

“There is an established procedure for initiating leak investigations. And it includes a finding by an agency that not only is the leak accurate, but that it also damaged national security in a way that can be articulated,” Aftergood said. “There are many leaks that simply do not meet that standard.”

But that bar, under Trump, appears to be recalculated. There are early indications that the White House considers the release of embarrassing information a transgression tantamount to the unauthorized disclosure of state secrets. Under Trump, there is concern that the full weight of these probes could be used to find political dissidents within the ranks — with the violation not being rooted in a criminal statute, but instead in Trump’s expectation of loyalty.

The legit best way to troll Trump as a world leader is to feed him things most people would gladly pay hundreds of dollars to try after making sure he goes up a few flights of stairs. I bet next time Saudi host him, they'll just have a silver platter with big macs and kfc on it.

I'm looking for more non-fiction books that are either post-Trump winning, or are not but sufficiently get the whole Escalator culture we live in now. Any suggestions? I was thinking Democracy in Chains

I don't read too much political stuff so no. For the true post-Trump experience I recommend Fallout: New Vegas

You can only take it so far before it goes full circle and it's getting a bit dark actually considering their position and choices at the time

Short stories by a variety of authors

One of the good ones i just finished is about an underground fortress built on the roof of a gigantic cavern of a weird planet full of holes and caves, all its battlements and spires pointed down like an incredible stalactite formation.

It gets attacked and boy is it a really bad idea to try and seige an upside down fortress.
Not only that but after a year and losing like a million dudes they finally over take the place only to have the defenders demo charge the foundations and send the whole trillion tons of rock falling to the cavern floor full of invaders and landing on their titan mecha seige engines and bases below lmao
