July 21, 2018: The Fallout Continues, A Cheap Banjo, Twist In The Wind



The fallout from the Helsinki Surrender continues. Apparently, our Idiot-in-chief has not only taken Putin's suggestion, or was it hair-brained proposal by Disgustus, that we join forces with Russian Intelligence to get to the bottom of the 2016 election mess. Mirroring as it does a similar joint proposal at last year's meeting with Putin that we join forces to create a world-wide cyber security organization, tRUMP emerged from this most recent meeting touting the idea that both countries join hands in the investigation. Instead of handing Putin a copy of the indictments handed down by an American Grand Jury involving a dozen Russian military intelligence officers and demanding their extradition in order to face justice, Disgustus emerged from his two-hour confab with this lame proposal. Once again the great negotiator has met a strong-man on the world stage and once again he has folded like a cheap lawn chair.

And, to add insult to injury, here was Disgustus telling the world that Putin offered to allow Mueller to come to Russia to question those indicted and, in exchange, we would surrender our former Ambassador to Russia on tRUMPed-up charges involving a wholly bogus Russian claim that Ambassador Michael McPhail was involved in some money-laundering scheme in which some $400,000.00 made its way into the Clinton campaign. Faced with the prospect of surrendering a diplomat to Russian “justice”, tRUMP stood before the world and told us that it was an idea worth considering.

The ever-cagey Putin, played Disgustus like a cheap banjo, knowing that such a scheme would find favor with our national disgrace because it would somehow implicate Clinton. And, as predictable as the morning sunrise, here stood our “President Jackass”, towing the Russian line.

Last year's trial balloon was quickly shot down by every political figure in Washington as palpable nonsense. These proposals were met with outrage. Former Secretaries of State Madelyn Albright and John Kerry expressed immediate disgust. There were deep rumblings in “Foggy Bottom” causing congressional leadership as well as several members of the Foreign Relations committee to issue terse statements of condemnation. Finally, freshly minted Secretary of State Pompeo came to the defense of his department issuing a statement that no diplomats would be surrendered, but for more than twenty four hours Ambassador McPhail was left to twist in the wind.

Here we have our “head” of state willing to violate the principle of diplomatic immunity, as well as several treaties, in order to accommodate his Russian master. And here we have a Russian leader structuring proposals that violate the national interests of the United States by serving the interests of Donald J. tRUMP, knowing—as our national idiot does not, that even appearing to accept these ridiculous proposals further weakens the American presidency in the eyes of the country and the world.

It was a painful spectacle to witness, Putin in command watching with intent amusement as the man to his right filled his pants on the world stage. Disgustus, for his part, can only envision a follow-up performance later this year in Washington.

When will the Rescumlicans put a stop to this? At minimum there should be a call for an end to such meetings. At a minimum the Senate should demand that Disgustus never leave the country again, that during the rest of his tenure any meetings with foreign officials are off-limits, for the very good reason that he cannot be trusted.

It should be clear to even the dimmest bulb in Washington that this man has got to go. That there is no action on several bills of impeachment remains a national disgrace.

'An Br'er Putin, he jus' laugh and laugh”

Impeach and Imprison.
