Daily Check-In 10/2/2017

October is here.

This is going to be a little different today. This was one hell of a rough day.

Ever have one of those days where it feels like everything is wrong? That’s today.

To be honest, I don’t feel like writing. I want to be lazy and take the easy way out today, but too much shit happened, and there’s this form of self-therapy that overtakes me when I write. It’s like working out. I feel better when I do it, even if I didn’t want to in the first place.

Even with Trump attacking Puerto Rico and North Korea on Twitter over the weekend, the biggest story, by far, is the terrorist attack in Las Vegas. 59 people were murdered last night by a white guy that sort of, but not quite fits the profile of a lone gunmen.

This is the largest attack of its kind in the United States in a long time, possibly ever. The inevitable attacks on both sides of the gun control debate are going to heat up again. A bunch of GOP politicians will offer their hopes and prayers.

And that’s it. They won’t do a goddamned thing. They won’t dare push against the NRA.

Fuck The NRA.

I am sick and tired of watching innocent people die in the United States of America because we as a culture don’t want to fight the National Rifle Association.

Fuck them. Why are they working with Russia? Why?

There are too many questions left unanswered.

Why did this man do what he did?

What was his motive?

Why shoot up a country music concert?

Was he working for someone?

Why did a ton of disinformation, or deza, come from Twitter immediately after the attack, in the early afternoon Moscow time?

It’s going to be a few days at least before all of the information comes in. I’ll update with whatever information I find out.

In other news…

HP SHARES SOURCE CODE OF ArcSight SECURITY SOFTWARE WITH RUSSIANS.

ArcSight is a software suite used by the US Military and other federal departments to check for attempted network breaches. And HP let the Russians check out the source code.

It sounds worse than it is, but still, REALLY? WHAT THE SHIT, HP?

US SUPREME COURT COMING AFTER KIM DOTCOM.

Keep an eye on this. This doesn’t have anything to do with Russia, that I know of, but if the US is successful in seizing assets, expect to see this playbook used on the Russians involved.

MORE MAILS RELEASED IMPLICATING MANAFORT WITH OLEG DERIPASKA.

Yeah, he’s Manafucked.

MORE UNDISCLOSED CONTACTS BETWEEN TRUMP AND RUSSIANS.

Yeah, so that happened. Two meetings. One before the Republican National Convention, and one in November 2015.

That’s it for today.

Thank you, and …

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST, JARED! Another Fucking Email Account?

Fuck. I’m getting myself a drink and listening to Tom Petty.

Have a good one.
