"Super-Elite" and 2 Americas: Conference Circuit
At least one thing the invention of the internet has done is make us all more aware of the existence of a completely different world that is happening out there, out of our sight, and, intentionally, out of our access and certainly out of our control. The issue is that many decisions that affect us are originated and progress at these events.
On a daily basis, America's super-rich are having cappuccinos in Martha's Vineyard or in Silicon Valley, attending high-powered dinner parties in Manhattan, and more importantly, spending less connected time with America and more time in a global "nation unto themselves". 1 In contrast to what they share with their neighbors, the "see the same people, ...eat in the same restaurants, and ...stay in the same hotels." says Glenn Hutchins, co-founder, Silver Lake.
But the more important commonality that all these plutocrats share is that without us, there would be no super-elite, no super-rich. There would be no consumer-class, no middle-class, no in-debted class, no mass of millions, hundreds of millions that are content to be there to see their children take their first step and to haul them around to practices, content to personally care for their aging or ill loved one, or content to constantly owe on a mortgage or a credit card or a student loan and to only leave the country when they go on an annual family vacation or a honeymoon, maybe. We are not the less talented lower class. We are their foundation, their primacy.
We are literally what adds the richness to their jet-setting, mega yachting, Davos life.
So let's get a better glimpse of our deliverables.

The Base in American Politics @ 7 13 2017
I know significant personalities that comprise the Trump Base--it's made of my brother, my sister-in-law, unjust legal practitioners, and my neighbors.
American politicians and parties must acknowledge that these people will always vote against sanity, compassion, and idealism simply because they can. They consider it sport to sacrifice their own children to the destructive vanity and whimsy of the bigots, hypocrites, and thugs--a "blood sport" that they will cling to until the day that they pass from this world. There is no educating them, no debating with them, and no developing them into Maslow-mature human beings.
"The Base" portion of the voting public will always exist in this modern era, and so any party or person with machinations to participate in politics must factor its existence in to their agendas and practices, building a defense. Short of that, The Base will consume your identity, daily routine, your priorities, and progress. Don't believe me? How has that first 6 months of a Trump presidency gone?

The sexism of defining a woman by a negative life event @ 7 2017
Increasingly, as we witness confirmation hearing questioning, federal campaigns involving female candidates, and local politics unfolding wielding local law enforcement as weapons, an apparent "sophisticated sexism" is entrenching itself into daily discourse. That is, we see relatively high profile women repeatedly and casually defined by one exploitable negative event occurring in her life, while the men enjoy the insulating effect of being defined by the entire context of his life.
We need to turn the this around, and start calling it out, first, and, second, using the technique against the perpetrator.

Pundits missing Trump Jr., Manafort, and Kushner were blackmailable since June, 2016
We heard Yates testify that she warned the Trump White House on January 26th, 2017, that their National Security Director, Michael Flynn, was blackmailable by the Russians since his misleading the WH and the nation on his discussions of sanctions in his transition phone call with Russia leadership. The short of it was that Flynn, in December, had a phone conversation with a Russian diplomat in which U.S. sanctions against Russia were discussed and subsequent to that conversation, Flynn represented sanctions were NOT discussed. At all times when he made these false representations, the Russians knew that his misrepresentations were false. This makes/made Flynn blackmailable---leverageable, by the Russians.
Over the last three days, we learned, via Trump Jr himself, that he, Manafort, and Kushner held a meeting in June, 2016, with a Russian lawyer that he held because he believed the lawyer was with the Russian government and was going to give them opposition research on their opposing candidate, who is a United States citizen.
Trump and numerous of his representatives have repeatedly asserted that the Trump campaign had NO collusion with Russia in interfering with the 2016 Presidential election campaign. At all times when each of these representations were made, Russia and the Trump campaign knew that the campaign had taken the bait of the June meeting. This is the situational equivalent of Flynn's exposure, making Trump Jr. and Kushner, especially--because they have been "retained" by the President through the transition and had to submit sworn security clearance applications accounting for interactions with foreign entities, especially with Russians.
On their applications, both men blanketly omitted all of there interactions with Russians, including the June meeting which they unequivocally intended to be a meeting with a Russian government representative to obtain secret information about a U.S. citizen and presidential candidate. The applications very clearly warn that they can be prosecuted for felonies for failing to fully answer the prompts on the application. Thus, the Russians also knew, since June, that either men had substantive exposure and risk of criminal prosecution if, for example, that June meeting was exposed.
Thus, just as with Flynn, we--the citizens of the United States, should expect that the intelligence community and the U.S. Attorney General acknowledge the risk of having these two men having, inter alia, security clearances, having access to national secrets, having the ability to injure our nation (or the ability to have already injured our nation), and the risk inherent with not be able to trust that either man is putting the nation before his own interests, especially their interest in self-preservation.
Both men are blackmailable just as Flynn was blackmailable by the Russians and are clear risks that should be removed from their positions and access, however informal, in as complete a fashion as can be accomplished, immediately--not two weeks later.
