The puppet ruler of a once-great nation is on the Eastside today, for a completely inside-the-bubble, zillionaires-only fundraising junket on behalf of Rep. Dave Reichert and the state Republican Party.

The good news: Reichert’s once and future election opponent, the courageous and totally on-the-bean Darcy Burner, is hosting an “online town hall” this same day, at 3 PM PDT. Be there.
