One minute of sublime self-petard-hoisting, courtesy of The Daily Show. The Lincoln Project should run this as a commercial on Fox itself.

So after riling the masses up for ages about how Hillary and her emails
are worth hanging her for, we find the orange fuckhead brought some
nuclear secrets with him. That's rich.

So are we still into hanging people who risk classified government
information at their home residences? Huh?

Nation of fuckwits.

Klaus Emil Julius Fuchs (29 December 1911 -- 28 January 1988) was a
German theoretical physicist and atomic spy who supplied information
from the American, British and Canadian Manhattan Project to the
Soviet Union during and shortly after World War II. While at the Los
Alamos National Laboratory, Fuchs was responsible for many significant theoretical calculations relating to the first nuclear weapons and,
later, early models of the hydrogen bomb. After his conviction in
1950, he served nine years in prison in the United Kingdom, then
migrated to East Germany where he resumed his career as a physicist
and scientific leader.

Amusingly depicted in Martin Cruz Smith's novel, _Stallion Gate_,
along with NKVD operative Harry Gold.

I'm not familiar with his details, as to his motivation.

USSR (1922 to 1991) was not a cool place to be in those earlier days. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_Union>

He was a bright/intelligent person, but apparently his perspective was
limited on worldly matters.

If Trump was caught "red handed" doing this...



On June 19, 1953, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, who were convicted of
conspiring to pass U.S. atomic secrets to the Soviets, are executed at
Sing Sing Prison in Ossining, New York. Both refused to admit any
wrongdoing and proclaimed their innocence right up to the time of
their deaths, by the electric chair. The Rosenbergs were the first
U.S. citizens to be convicted and executed for espionage during
peacetime and their case remains controversial to this day.

Via Twitter...I have not read about this in the news:

"Russian state TV is now bragging about Putin seeing all the sensitive
nuclear information Trump was in possession of. They already got what
they wanted from him and are taking a fucking victory lap." https://twitter.com/SweetFnLucifer/status/1558516570749640704

Russian TV may have created a story, or it is true. Question here is
what specifics were spelled out in those documents.

How to make a bomb is old news, but if how US's command & control
works, that's not good news.

Dear Quote Investigator: A quotation about imprudent greed and
near-sightedness has been attributed to three prominent communists:
Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin, and Karl Marx. Here are three versions
of the statement:
