Yesterday, I began to outline the central points that make up the through line on the question of “What was Trump doing in Russia?” We still don’t know.
It seems to be that Trump, desperate for money, found aid in Russia. The Russians groomed him to be “a useful idiot.” Boy, did they get their money’s worth! Under Satan they were left unperturbed and then Satan even aided them by pulling our protection away from the Kurds, allowing them to be massacred, and the Russians to take possession of Northern Syria and Iraq without firing a shot. What a deal!
Now we have a Russian agent (ie Spy) actively living and working in the U.S. during the 2016 and 2020 elections to do whatever he, as a representative of Russia and its spy agency, he could do to denigrate Biden and encourage Trump’s victories, all the while spreading false information with the aim of dividing our nation as much as possible. He, the Russian spy, named Kilimnik, was given internal polling data by Manafort and we still don’t know what all that was about.

It seems that the Republican party is happy to go along with all this as useful idiots as well. Mo Brooks, who spoke at the Jan 6th Insurrection Rally, has been happy to say that a Democratic Congressman can’t be believed because said Congressman had a woman working in his campaign who might have been a Chinese spy. Mo goes further and says said Congressman was sleeping with her at one point. Hum, seems bad. Old Mo seems to forget that said Congressman cut all ties with this woman once the FBI told him of their suspicions. Yet Mo is standing up at a rally inciting the overthrow of an election for a man who has been accused of having prostitutes come piss on a bed in Russia, has had multiple affairs, and lied about them. I’m sure Rep. Brooks will be suitably outraged about all this! (NOT.)
So the questions remain:
What was Trump doing in Russia?
Why was Deutche Bank loaning him money, which seems to have come directly from Russia? (And why are certain high level Republicans cherry to investigate and scramble to avoid this topic?)
Who and why was Manafort thrust forward to be Trump’s campaign chairman in 2016?
Why was Manfort handing over internal polling data to a Russian agent?
Why has Trump worked so hard to hide his taxes, his grades, and anything else about himself?
What does Putin have on Trump?
What we know is that Satan has lost a lot of money running his businesses. He’s lost money for years. He was the biggest loser four years running to the IRS. Close to a billion dollars a year, that’s some record. He has paid little to no income taxes. He got a phony deferment and he thinks people who serve are suckers and losers, because he can’t see what is in it for them.
Meanwhile the Republican Party has been split between the racists, nazis, fascists, religious fanatics, white supremacists and Qanon supporters that support Trump and the Trump look alikes and what is left of the old Republican party, which was folks who were veiled racists, nazis, fascists, religious fanatics, white supremacists and Qanon supporters. The latter bunch are folks who hate Democrats, well they all hate Democrats. The reason for the hatred seems to stem from the fear that “their” money in taxes is going to help someone who doesn’t deserve it. That it will be wasted.
However, they seem happy to have their party waste money, but not the other side.
Many if not most of these supporters have been helped and in fact owe their financial existence to Democratic initiatives. Social Security, Medicare, pensions are all due to Democrats and opposed by Republicans. It’s odd that the states most dependent on Federal handouts are the reddest of states while the states that give more money to the Federal government than they take are the bluest of states. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you.
Ah me. Then we get to Tucker Carlson. If you haven’t seen John Oliver’s last Sunday night show “Last Week Tonight” I urge you to do so. Oliver does a masterful job of pointing out what a racist he is. Tucker will say he’s not, but Oliver points out that even if Tucker thinks he’s not a racist there are a few people who think he is. Like David Duke, former head of the KKK; the head of a neo-Nazi group in the U.S. (The one Paul Gosar spoke at recently); and the head of one of the oldest white supremacist organizations in the U.S.
Let me also remind folks that Carlson, Kavanaugh, Ingraham, and Coulter all used to hang out together at a fancy row house in Georgetown. So there’s a nod nod, wink wink kind of thing there.
Speaking of Kavanaugh, Shelton Whitehouse has dropped in the new AG’s lap an accusation that the FBI carried out a sham investigation into his background when he was being considered for the Supreme Court bench. (Well, Duh. ‘Bout time we got the truth.)
PS Feel good about God day (I declare it.)
PPS I keep forgetting this little shout out. Trump’s guy running the Post Office, DeJoy? Yeah, he wants more money from Congress so he can guarantee to be able to deliver mail more slowly. This is America!
I find it intriguing how closely the Republicans stick together. I watched a replay of Lindsey Graham last night on Frontline. Lindsey was going off on how corrupt Trump was. This was shortly after Trump announced his campaign. Marco Rubio the same. Yet the minute Trump became the Republican candidate both fell in lockstep behind their corrupt candidate. . We watched about 1/4 of it and shut it off because we got too angry just watching the lies spewed by Republicans.
