    It’s worrying that this isn’t as high on Lemmy (or Reddit) as it should be. We all knew this was going to happen, but still, isn’t this more important than articles about Trump’s humiliation?

    I mean, I get it, there’s some serious schadenfreude there, but as with last time around, Trump’s clown antics are distracting from the serious damage that’s going on directly behind him.

      It isn’t as fun or as sexy, so it doesn’t get the same number of Updoots.

      Trump’s clown antics are distracting from the serious damage that’s going on directly behind him.

      It’s only a distraction if you can do something about it. 52 Republicans put a Democrat with a snarl of ties to half a dozen foreign powers directly into the heart of the national intelligence service. Now you’ve read the headlines. You’re clued in. What’s your next move?
