It’s Not The Crime–It’s The Crime AND The Coverup. E-mails show that the Trump Administration scrambled to figure out a post-delay justification for their actions. Their blatant criminality is rivaled only by the blatant criminality of the Rethuglican Party, a party that has been transformed into a criminal entity to maintain power.
Why Rudy Chose Lev And Igor (Not EEgor, It’s EYEgor) To Do His Dirty Work. Man, it’s as seamy as it gets.
Defense Secretary Fires Secretary Of The Navy Because–Trump. Even among his monumental fuck-ups, this is one of Trump’s most monumental. Let’s see, destroying military ‘good order’ benefits who, exactly? All roads lead to Russia.
How Trump Built His Wall Without Building His Wall. Must-reading on how The, OK, I’ll say it, Deplorables, built a paper wall to keep immigrants out.
Progressives Challenge D Incumbents Who Favor AIPAC Positions. Might as well add Scarane vs. Coons to this list. Except, pretty much the entirety of Coons’ record is fodder for a progressive challenger.
Moscow Mitch’s Opposition To Election Security Threatens–Kentucky. Redundant but true–all roads lead to Moscow.
What do you want to talk about?
Fuck up?
Hardly. Dismissing military leaders who oppose his worst impulses BEFORE he tries to nullify the election (or cancel it, or just cheats in plain sight) is actually some rare fore-thought on his part.
Is it awful? oh fuck yes. But this one has me more spooked than normal.
I’ve said it before, the only move they have is escalation. The entire fate of the GOP depends on keeping this sham-reich alive. It’s not just that they all enable the crimes, they are doing the crimes too. If they let Daddy go down, they also go to a cage.
Remember…. trump can get re-elected and lose by 10 million votes. They dont care about the popular vote or the popular will.
“The entire fate of the GOP depends on keeping this sham-reich alive.”
That’s why the Trump Party member has to be defeated AT EVERY LEVEL of government. Every cog, every seemingly insignificant low level enabler, every Chris Coons, and every Mike Ramone in America needs to be removed by voters.
“All roads lead to Russia.”
Had this conversation last night. There are only two explanations for how Trump is conducting himself. 1) He is aggressively ignorant, self-centered and myopic, or 2) He is all of those AND under some kind of control (passive or active) from Russia.
I’ve come around to #2, even though it still seems somewhat impossible to fathom. I mean don’t we have checks on this type of thing built into the system?
