Who says she can’t bring us all together? Hillary Clinton, in the middle of her glass-shattering ascent, found herself besieged on all sides as a cast of Batman-style villains from literally around the world sought to sabotage her convention.

Donald Trump, Julian Assange, Susan Sarandon, Nina Turner, Vladimir Putin, and Dr. Jill Stein—political bedfellows don’t get any odder than this.

The most infamous moment, of course, was Trump pleading with Vlad the Eavesdropper to further aid his ratfucking of Hillary by producing still more computer hacks. Trump had already exposed himself as a gushing Putin fanboy, even offering to turn NATO into a protection racket for the shirtless Kremlin tyrant.

“Just being sarcastic!” Donald said the next day. “Tantamount to treason,” said one of the members of George W. Bush’s national security team, as he followed George Will, Brent Scowcroft, Max Boot, and the other members of the GOP’s shrunken national security wing out the door.

The treason might prove to be greater than we now suspect: a further undermining of political reality itself. For whatever line the Russian intelligence apparatus—a leader in disinformation for over a century—chooses to feed to Assange will be taken as gospel, no matter how outrageous it might be.
