Today my boyfriend James Comey testified in open session before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Most of it was unrelated to the Russia Investigation, which will be discussed behind closed doors at the House Intel Committee tomorrow, but we did get his rationale for notifying Congress about “new emails” found on Anthony Weiner’s computer. He said it made him “mildly nauseous.”

Hillary had a one hour interview at the Women to Women International Convention with Christiane Amanpour. She pointed to Russian interference in our elections and the Comey memo as contributing factors in her election loss. Of course, even though Corporate Media reports these two events caused many likely voters to be “scared off” they still mocked her.

Steven Colbert is trending. Well, a hashtag #FIRECOLBERT is trending for his very strong monologue Monday night, where he called out Trump for being a world heavyweight champion liar.

Trump continues to deny Democrats “cleaned his clock” on the new budget package, insisting there is money for a down payment on his ridiculous Border Wall. There isn’t. OMB Director Mulvaney insists Democrats wanted a shutdown of the government and then moments later has to defend Trumps Tweet calling for a “good shutdown.”

Yes, we are inside the Looking Glass.
