Trump is the center of Trump-world. Everything else is just a revolving blip on his giant screen. And you better believe when he hires a cabinet secretary of an FBI head or a judge, he expects that person to remember their fealty to him and him alone. Like when Hitler insisted the German military pledge allegiance to him, not to the nation. This is the original Reichswehreid:
As you've probably read by now, the fake "president" is freaking out that Idiot, Jr. and Kushner-in-law are going to be indicted in Putin-Gate. There's plenty more than that they should both be indicted for.
Trump is now admitting there was, after all, some collusion. And it was Idiot, Jr. and Kushner-in-law who were doing the colluding, Trump personally covering up for them and Trump probably directing the collusion, or to put it more accurately, the conspiracy to commit treason. Just look at the Trump tweet from yesterday above.
A few days ago I saw a Morning Consult poll that showed that even among Republicans-- among whom 63% think honesty is a word that describes Señor Trumpanzee accurately-- there has been a 9% drop since January among those who believe he is honest.
Yesterday, Josh Marshall brought up the June 14, 2016 incidents again-- it can never be brought often frequently enough... the one where GOP House Majority Leader blurts out that Putin is paying off Trump and Rohrabacher... "so help me God." My favorite part of this story-- other than the pays offs themselves-- is how Ryan and McCarthy tried to cover it up and kept changing their stories as the Washington Post closed in on them and finally revealed they had a tape. Oops!
No Puppet by Chip ProserWe have elections coming up in less than three months and change-- and then another presidential cycle in 2020. It's not so much that we need to know about how the Russians stole the election for Trump-- like in a gossip kind of way-- but that we have the information so we can prevent it from happening again. The House Republicans have already turned down financing underwriting any fixes to make sure it doesn't happen.
Early this morning, the illegitimate "president"-- installed in the White House by the Kremlin-- was up and tweeting, attacking his longtime personal lawyer. His new lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, had already gone running to the media to insist that Michael Cohen is a congenital liar. OK, fine, but who is more of a congenital liar? Sorry, pick just one:
In theory, we expect Rachel Maddow, the most popular news anchor in America, to report and comment on the news, not necessarily make the news. But last night she sure did (make the news). Look at that video up top. Stupendous reporting. She contrasts the fake news cobbled together by the Trumpist Regime and the Kremlin to hide what happened-- in plain view-- in Helsinki when a reporter, Reuters' Jeff Mason, asked-- and Putin answered-- if he wanted Trump to win and if he ordered Russian officials to give Trump a hand. He admitted that he did. "Yes, I did. Yes, I did.
