Greetings. I am a voting constituent in rural west Texas.
Happy to see that our president has now decided he can legitimately get ‘vicious’ since he’s been so slandered recently by the truth. Isn’t that what anyone would want in a presidential candidate? Viciousness in the face of truth?
Whatever. He’s so irrelevant that it’s hard to take it all seriously. But I guess we need to. At least for a few more days.
Meanwhile we’ll replay the hits that keep on coming.
Russians in the WH. Or if not directly in the WH, definitely using the back door to visit.
Best uh-oh moment. When an interviewer questioned Mr. Giuliani about his ignorance of being entangled with a real live Russian operative...
“You’re a former prosecutor from the Southern District of New York, a former mayor of New York City, you have a national security firm,” host Jonathan Capehart said. “How could you not know that this person you were talking to was a known Russian agent?“
Whoops. I expect business will be falling off for Rudy.
Then there’s the current malfeasance. In April, Trump passed over scientists to install one of his campaign advisers as assistant secretary of HHS for public affairs. Michael Caputo was a long-time Republican operative, an associate of Roger Stone who had worked for Russia’s Gasprom Media to improve the image of Vladimir Putin in the U.S.
And more. On Wednesday, a whistleblower filed a complaint that Chad Wolf and his deputy Ken Cuccinelli have been pressuring intelligence officials to change their reports to bolster Trump’s campaign speeches. Rather than releasing the actual findings of intelligence experts that America’s chief threats come from white supremacists and Russian attacks on the 2020 election, Trump’s men want the intelligence reports altered to suggest that left-wing violence is equal to that of the right-wing thugs, and that Iran and China are as guilty of election interference as the Russians.
The Russians are not only coming, they’re already here. And doing quite well.
Think y’all can muster enough patriotism to care? Or is viciousness in place of competence gonna be enough?
Rhetorical questions. I already know the answers.
