Since we don’t have a “Treasonous Republican idea of the day” thread, I’ll put this here:

[Trump’s Homeland Security pulls funds and staff from election protection for 2020](https://www.rawstory.com/2019/02/trumps-homeland-security-pulls-funds-and-staff-from-election-protection-for-2020/)

> “The clear assessment from the intelligence community is that 2020 is going to be the perfect storm,” a DHS official familiar with the teams told The Daily Beast. “We know Russia is going to be engaged. So it’s very curious why the task forces were demoted in the bureaucracy and the leadership has not committed resources to prepare for the 2020 election.”

Curious? Not to me. The only thing even remotely striking is that they don’t even seem to care about appearances anymore, which leads me to the suspicion that they know the fix is in.
