The transformation of Ukraine into untarnished, saintly victim, symbol of democracy and civil society savaged by brutish Russia, has been nothing less than remarkable. The endemic corruption of a state captured by oligarchic tendencies and its own breed of kleptocrats has somehow gone by the wayside, only interrupted by the occasional symbolic purge by the […]
Bankster by Nancy OhanianIt's great when is reasonable and understanding when they ensnare someone for bending the rules, especially if-- the classic example-- it's a man who steals some milk to feed his staving baby or a loaf of bread for a starving family. Leniency may well be in order. But not from a tough conservative law-and-order regime. At least not for individuals.
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.
Moscow's Mule by Chip ProserOn Saturday morning, Axios put together a quickie post, "3 lies heard 'round the world," and I'm sure you know exactly who told the 3 whoppers. He claimed he bent NATO members to his will, which never happened. He tried walking back his trazodone-fueled interview with The Sun, calling it "fake news," even though they released a tape.
Today, Lloyd Blankfein, CEO of Goldman Sachs, told a Bloomberg editor at the Economic Club of New York that he thinks Señor Trumpanzee is just bluffing about starting a trade war.

Once Ivanka's job was to shield her idiotic corrupt father; now she has an added burden: her idiotic corrupt husband.
Trump doesn't tell the truth about anything. He never has. He's lied his way through life. And the video above, one of many showing him claiming to be "the least racist person" in the whole wide world, is just another flat out lie. Trump is a disgusting, vile racist, a disgrace for the United States. And most Americans finally see it.
How this Trump thing is going to finally end is anybody's guess. The worst and most destructive way would be a second American Civil War. Too far-fetched? He and his inner circle-- including his children-- are headed for indictments, possibly prison sentences for the cronies and kids. Is a plateful of them headed to Russia seeking political asylum more far-fetched? Unimaginable?
