Under Russian Ownership

Joe Conason has been near the top of my list of esteemed liberal journalists ever since 2000, when he and Gene Lyons published their book The Hunting of the President: The Ten-Year Campaign to Destroy Bill and Hillary Clinton, a thorough exploration of what Hillary referred to as "a vast right-wing conspiracy."

Joe Conason has written a good article in AlterNet about the long record of collusion between Donkey Wrecked 'em and Russia under Vlad Putin. Recommended as a refresher course on the issue that began before the 2016 election and spans a decade of TRashdUMP corruption that stinks a lot like treason.

Added 5:24 PM Sunday: DEI stands for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and it's been driving MAGA Monkeys insane, to the point that Pussydents 47A & 47B have been pumping out executive orders and Elmo Mush directives prohibiting or abolishing DEI programs, plans or policies in schools, businesses, etc. The MAGA focus is now on something called The Great Resegregation, which rests on the principles that competent white men must dominate American society if things are going to work, and everything fails when white men are demoralized by the inclusion of women and minority groups in the social power structure.

Hey, Toad King, nearly every MAGA politician is a white male, and most of your base is white males. My own observation has been that white men who honor the Waste of Shit as their hero are all worthless assholes. Did you see video coverage of the January 6th riot, attempting to overturn the election, or any audience at a Toad King campaign pep rally? I sure as hell did.

Bored Games

I just finished reading an article at Crooks & Liars about Sen. Ron Johnson (MAGA-WI), who resents being identified as a Russian asset. That made me think it might be worthwhile to make one list of MAGA Morons in Congress who are owned by Russia, and a second list of those who are only being borrowed. Nearly all the congressional MAGA Monkeys would be on one list or the other. 

If Tommy Tuberville wasn't a useless turd, he would be ashamed of himself after creating so many problems for the armed services. But he is a useless turd, so he's still fucking things up. 

Tuberville should be required to eat two gallons of chicken-fried goat dicks (smothered in creamed cow manure gravy) every day until he abandons this disgusting "Look at me, I'm special" behavior and returns to his desk in the "Who was that fool?" storage room.

Q NOTES No. 1159: Thursdazed Short Cut

As an adult I've seen the conservative political party in the United States go from bad (the corruption of Nixon) to worse (Reagan and Bush 43). The only GOP presidents I didn't hate were Gerald Ford and Bush 41, and there were things I disliked about both of them too.

As despicable as Republicans were 1968-2008, there were always a few lines drawn that even the worst of them wouldn't cross. As pissed off as I usually was, I never thought I was witnessing the end of American democracy.

Every terrible (R) president was followed by a Democratic president who got the nation back on the right track, at least until the next (R) was elected. Carter, Clinton, and Obama weren't perfect, but all three were great compared to the (R)'s they followed. 

Everything changed after the 2016 election, when Russia was able to replace an effective U.S. president with a Putin puppet, and finally defeat America from within (not a shot fired). Russia controls the waste of shit, and the waste of shit controls what is now the MAGA Monkey party. Since Russia owns them now, there are no lines today's "Republicans" won't cross. The MAGA Monkey agenda is very simple: complete the destruction of the USA the waste of shit began in 2017.

Added 1:39 PM: While skimming through stuff posted at DU, I saw a link to an article about Brett Favre's endorsement of the waste of shit. Favre's opinion is that the w.o.s. is imperfect, but the nation was in a better place when he was in office. This confirms that Favre is another ignorant yahoo from Mississippi with nothing of value to offer mankind.

Q NOTES # K+38: Putin's Puppets

It would be relatively easy to make a list of the Top Ten Reasons the MAGA Monkey Party is the most dangerous enemy the United States will be dealing with for the foreseeable future. For starters, their allegiance is not to America but to the Waste of Shit, who was much closer to being an active agent of the Russian government than he ever was (or could have been) to being a legitimate U.S. president. Their loyalty to the Waste of Shit is apparently motivating the eagerness of MAGA Monkeys to put U.S. foreign policy to work for Vladimir Putin.

Q NOTES # 709: Penalties

Rep. Maddie Cawthorn was on Fox News whining about the North Carolina State Board of Elections preparing to bar him from appearing on the ballot in the midterm election. This decision would be the result of Maddie's active involvement in the 1/6 failed coup attempt. Maddie pushed the notion that he's being singled out based on his disability, which is ridiculous x 10,000. American interests will be best served when the political careers of parasites like Maddie Cawthorn and J.D. Vance are crushed into stinking nothingness in their nascent stages.

It took the catastrophe of Donald Dooky Dump in the White House to make Republicans realize the system of government they really prefer is Vladimir Putin's Russia instead of traditional American democracy. 

In the current hierarchy, Putin dominates Dooky Dump who dominates Trumpunklicans, so about 45 percent of American voters are directly or indirectly under Putin's thumb. Way to go, USA. 

Politicus USA and Daily Kos remind readers that Clarence Thomas and his old lady are radical right-wing activists, and Clarence has no business sitting on the USSC. Somewhat ironically, in Clarence's ideal "originalist" America, he wouldn't have been allowed to vote or marry his old lady.

Weekend WTF

How fucked up are Trumplicans? Here's a hint: Most of them voted against a bill that should have been passed in the House with unanimous bipartisan support. 

Every major mainstream media outlet should eliminate its emphasis on negative views of the economy, and shift its focus to what Trumplicans are currently doing to replace America's system of government with fascism. 

Idle pastime for this afternoon? That would probably be trying to guess the exact number of people, starting with Dummito Assolini, who should spend at least five years in a federal penitentiary for their involvement in the 1/6 conspiracy to overthrow the government. My first guess was at least a dozen, but I probably underestimated the size of the gang. Every member of Congress who was in on the plan should be among those arrested first.

The blue states strike back, or, two can play that game, motherfuckers. 

Suggested blue state laws? 

A) Sale of handgun(s), minimum damages $50,000 per weapon. Second offense, damages $100,000 per weapon, increasing to $250,000 for each subsequent offense. Sale of AR-15 or other military-style weapon, minimum damages $250,000. All subsequent offenses, minimum damages $1,000,000 per offense, plus court costs and legal fees.

B) Discrimination in hiring, employment, or delivery of services based on religious beliefs, first offense minimum damages $750,000, increasing to $1,500,000 per each subsequent violation. All court costs and legal fees added to damage award.

Added 11:08 AM Sunday: The primary focus for Joe and the Democratic Party in 2022 needs to be protection of voting rights and preserving America. 

The key to contentment and peace of mind potentially lies in completely ignoring what Dummito Assolini and his deplorable disciples are doing. The downside to ignoring them is that your peace of mind will be temporary.

Short-Lived Victories

Remember back in the 1980's when the (R) party was so proud of Ronnie Reagan, a real man, defeating the Russians and winning the cold war? It's helpful to take a look at how the other side now sees the current (R) leader, because Reagan's big win was apparently an illusion. Like winning one hand with a pair of sixes in a marathon poker game.

Ownership

Joe Conason writes that Russians consider Dump "their" president.

Why wouldn't they? They paid for him.

Can the Russians steal it for him again?

We already know that the Russians will be working overtime to influence the 2020 election, and we already know who they'll try to elect and why they want him to win. Now we're beginning to see how they plan to elect Stink Eye, and yeah, the plan involves Bernie Sanders.

Rosenstein

Rod Rosenstein is turning out to be another Republican who looked promising for awhile, but is becoming a disappointment.

Busted

The New York Times, which usually tries to cover Donnie Mushroom the way they've covered normal Republican presidents in past years, has finally decided to pick at the scab awhile with a report that the FBI initiated a counterintelligence investigation of Donnie after he fired James Comey. It must be an accurate report, because Donnie has been binge-tweeting.

It's sad, but many of Donnie's Deplorable Disciples will never know anything about this matter other than what they read in the twit's tweets.

The best way to grasp the overwhelming stupidity of Donnie's supporters is to read the stuff Donnie and Sarah Hucklebuck feed them, knowing that almost all of them will believe every fucking word of it.

Added 11:48 PM Saturday: The facts of the situation are so obvious, it's amazing that so many people have missed them.

Added 6:17 PM Sunday: Mike Pompeo is unsuitable and should be terminated now.

Donnie and his Russian Comrade

Hmmm... that didn't go very well, did it?

The Onion on GOP reaction

Crooks and Liars: Will the media finally catch up?

Alternet here.

Politico here.

Rand Paul should be deported too.

The Puppet Master makes Donnie dance.

Kos: Donnie makes collusion case for Mueller

Is he a Russian asset? Sure he is.

Donnie is the pussy Putin grabbed.

Will Fox News take Donnie's side or America's?

Treason

There's only one question every Republican should be forced to answer: If identical evidence was presented in investigations of President Barack Obama (or President Hillary Clinton), would Obama (or Clinton) be accused of treason by Fox News and every Republican in Congress?

Case closed.

Bribery? Sure, why not?

Donnie Uranus is so sure that he's above the law and has no reason to worry about oversight and accountability, he doesn't even try to be subtle these days.

As usual, Charles Pierce has an opinion concerning the latest Donnie corruption. And we're reminded again that Republicans should never be allowed to control Congress and the White House simultaneously. Never, never, never.

Added 2:12 PM Wednesday: The Senate intelligence committee report on Russian interference in the 2016 election disagrees with the House "intelligence" committee findings. This isn't particularly surprising since Devin Nunes wasn't involved with the Senate committee.

Capitulation Now

Can these motherfuckers make it any more obvious?

On an unrelated note, Politicus USA raises the question all of us should be asking, namely, "Will any intelligent human being actually believe that Donnie Droppings didn't know what the people around him were doing at all times?"

Sorry, but Mikey Cohen was not running amok as a free agent. If Donnie was ever keeping a close eye on anything, it was the stuff Mikey was up to.

SOS

When Rex Tillerson, the so-called Secretary of State, says the U.S. can't prevent Russia from rigging our 2018 elections, he really means we won't be doing anything to stop them because it helps Republicans.

I can remember when we'd have an American election and there would never be any goddamned Nazis running as Republicans. That's another way Donnie Doughnuts is making America great again: giving all the cockroaches an opportunity to skitter around in broad daylight.

Charles Pierce @ Esquire with more commentary regarding the Russian threat to our electoral process. What if we got stuck with this so-called precedent (sic) because the Russians were able to change vote totals in a few states like Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan? There's no way that information would ever be made public.

A nice short essay by Ramona Grigg. 

Donnie Doughnuts is too lazy to read daily intelligence briefings and makes policy decisions based on crap he watches on Fox News. Sooner or later, this is gonna cause a serious problem.

It just gets better and better. Apparently, Donnie's people have figured out a way to have Russians foot the bill for his legal fees.

Even the hairdo is phony.

A Riddle

Tonight, the Golden Shithole will stare at a teleprompter for an hour or so, and read a lot of garbage written for him by the worthless trash who work in the White House. The so-called precedent's (sic) so-called State of the Union address will be self-congratulatory horse shit, efforts to take credit for Obama's accomplishments, and the usual obvious lies and illiterate gibberish. It'll be on virtually every free TV channel, and about 96 percent of the audience will idiots, white trash, religious lunatics, gluttons for punishment, and traitors. The other 4 percent will be people who are required to watch it for some reason (e.g., they're being paid to).

I deliberately avoided every televised speech Bush 43 made. I hate the Golden Shithole at least 1,000 times as much as I hated W, so there's no goddamned way in hell I'm watching this waste of oxygen, tonight or ever. I'll read about the televised abortion later on the Internet.

Here's the riddle:

Q: How is the Golden Shithole different from Hitler?
A: Hitler had a mustache and went to war against the Russians. Otherwise, pretty much the same.

Personal Property of Putin

"Do not make me shoot puppy."

Putin's stooge Donnie Jerkinov talked to his godfather while he was farting around overseas, and now he's telling us people will die if the investigations into Donnie's anti-American conspiracy with Russia and sanctions against Putin aren't ended, like right now. 

We know Donnie lives in a fantasy world of reality TV, so maybe he's throwing in the part about people dying for dramatic impact (because he saw something like that on a show), or maybe he thinks vague threats make him appear to be more like a mob boss and less like a stooge. Or maybe Putin told him, "Donnie, you have nice family. Maybe I drop in for visit some time."

Conspiracy with a capital C

So was there a conspiracy? Oh, hell yeah. 

And it didn't start after Donnie Jerkinov was the GOP nominee. It started when he announced he was running for so-called precedent (sic).

Updated 4:03 PM Wednesday 8 November: With Donnie Jerkinov as the so-called precedent (sic), the international prestige of the United States has been severely damaged, if not totally destroyed. Vladimir Putin was able to accomplish goals that Nikita Khrushchev only dreamed about.

Russia, collusion, etc.

Digby @ Hullabaloo on the latest developments.

Politicus USA has something that explains why the chinless wonder should probably stop depending on Donny Johnny. Here's a hint: It has to do with the positive media coverage Donny received this week, and his desperate need to have nice things written and said about him in the newspapers and on the cable news shows.
