Yes, Trump seems to be some kind of horrible stimulus-response automata, with a weirdly specific vendetta against [most] people. But maybe he's not wrong when he says all this Russia stuff is a witch-hunt. Automata get it right sometimes, just by chance I think. On this episode we discuss the Russia Meddling Investigation (Trump, Putin, Hacking, Collusion) and all of its entanglements, try to sort through the burgeoning toxicity of the word "Russia," and give Rachel Maddow a piece of our minds.
