    Shack[lol] is 12 years old today!

    I wrote the first version of this thing when I was in my final two weeks at my first job, where I spent 15 years getting paid to learn how to program robots, automated machines and vision systems, and every year when this comes around, I can't believe how much time's passed since I left that job. Tommy was five when I wrote this thing -- now he's a big pile of gross 17 year old. Heck, I was almost still young. My how things have changed. :*)

    The state of the broader Internet/social media right now really hammers home how special and important this place is to many people.

    McConnell defends blocking election security bill, rejects criticism he is aiding Russia
    https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/mcconnell-defends-blocking-election-security-bill-rejects-criticism-he-is-aiding-russia/2019/07/29/08dca6d4-b239-11e9-951e-de024209545d_story.html

    Moscow Mitch was reacting to this column in yesterday's WaPo:

    Mitch McConnell is a Russian asset
    https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/mitch-mcconnell-is-a-russian-asset/2019/07/26/02cf3510-afbc-11e9-a0c9-6d2d7818f3da_story.html

    IMO, what this all shows is that these attacks by Trump opponents work. Moscow Mitch felt obliged to use the Senate floor to defend himself. Milbank's public charges have forced McConnell to fight on his opponent's terms--something the Republicans have been adept at for decades.

    Dem leadership would be wise to learn the lesson and not only refuse to relent, but double and triple down on the "Moscow Mitch" narrative so that the latter's every public appearance becomes about his Russia-related actions.

    It's like any propaganda warfare: repeat loudly. The Republicans want to pound their (false) narrative about Democrat "socialism"? The Dems should pound the narrative (which happens to be supported by actual evidence) of Republican treason.
