I don't have any evidence to suggest one way or the other that Trump is or is not a Russian asset. But I think the news-worthiness of this post is not necessarily the supposed turning of Trump, but with the story was scrubbed.

A notable news outlet merely reported something said by a well-known ex-intelligence operative. That is legitimate news. And if they got what the ex-intelligence operative said wrong typically, a news outlet would update the story and issue a retraction. Instead they just deleted it, and so did everyone else, and I think the reasons for that is a valuable thing to think about.

No idea if this story is true or not. Weird it got published, and weirder that it got scrubbed.

As far as intelligence assets go, from what I've read you want as many as you can get, just in case they become useful eventually.

The fact that so many people think it's somehow possible for a human being to NOT deserve healthcare, food, or a home is so frustrating to me I could scream myself to death.

It's not a perfect solution (and I know people don't love Cloudflare) but their Tunnels project is free. Hides your personal IP from the world, and provides some protection against known exploits.

But a VPS is quicker and easier, for sure.

But some beautiful day in the future, bad code will write badder code.
