This morning I gave the Democrats a good thrashing, and deservedly so.
Now it's the Republicans' turn.
The Very Stable Genius has been showing up on the radar screen a bit lately.
He held a rally in Georgia the other night. That would be the state whose chance to put Republicans in the Senate majority he squandered because he felt his ring wasn't being sufficiently kissed.
He claimed the crowd was massive, but more credible sources say it was the smallest in years.
He used the occasion to praise Putin's and Kim's intelligence and describe Russia's massing of 180,000 troops on Ukraine's borders as "a hell of a way to negotiate."
In a recent interview with Just The News, an outlet whose Trumpist slant gives the lie to its name, he calls on the instigator of the bloodiest, most vicious assault on one European nation bay another since the 1940s to take a little time out from his tyrannical, expansionist schedule to release info about Hunter Biden:
Amid widespread criticism of his praise for Russian President Vladimir Putin, former President Donald Trump publicly called on Putin on Tuesday to release any dirt he might have on Hunter Biden, the president’s son.
Trump, in an interview with Just the News, seized on an unsubstantiated claim about Biden’s obtaining a hefty payment from Elena Baturina, the former wife of the late former mayor of Moscow, and asked Putin to provide details.
“She gave him $3.5 million, so now I would think Putin would know the answer to that. I think he should release it,” Trump said. “I think we should know that answer.”
Trump was referring to information from a partisan Senate report published just weeks before the 2020 election, which also focused on Biden’s role on the board of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma.
Charlie Sykes at The Bulwark makes clear just how and why this is despicable:
Here’s where we come to the treasonous smoking gun: Trump explicitly frames his request to Putin as an act of retaliation not just against Biden, but against the United States itself.
Some accounts leave out the key phrase that Trump uses when he explains why Putin might help him.
"As long as Putin is not exactly a fan of our country... I would think Putin would know the answer to that. I think he should release it... you won't get the answer from Ukraine... I think Putin now would be willing to probably give that answer."
As long as Putin is not exactly a fan of our country... said the former and perhaps future president at a time of international conflict.
Then there's the seven hours of phone calls from the log during the time of the January 6, 2021 Capitol insurrection that are missing from the log turned over to the January 6 Congressional committee.
And the s--- about not even knowing what a burn phone is. John Bolton says the VSG damn well knows what a burn phone is.
2024 National Republican Primary Poll: Trump 59% Pence 11% DeSantis 10% Haley 3% Rubio 3% Cruz 2% T. Scott 2% Pompeo 1% . Without Trump: DeSantis 28% Pence 24% Cruz 10% Haley 6% Rubio 5% Pompeo 3% T. Scott 2%
And every one of the other names offered in the poll would support him.
Cowards, nuts and sycophants. That's all that's left now.
