> [@Merneith](#): > > I’ve been saying for almost two years now that Donald Trump is a Putin Patsy, a Russian agent (wittingly or otherwise), who is doing his best to destroy the NATO alliance and the United States while swimming in a sea of money from the Russian Mob. > > Nothing that’s come out in the last two years, including what little we’ve heard from the Mueller Investigation, has disproved those accusations. The fact that Mueller has not yet publicly charged Donald with anything doesn’t mean that those charges are not pending or under investigation, as evidenced by the recent subpoena for Trump Organization. > > But you go ahead and keep fucking that chicken, Barmy. Well said. I’ve been saying the same things about Trump. For about as longs. Maybe more, since I knew of him in NY back in the 1980s/1990s. He was trash back then, too. ---

[Trump accuses McCabe of fabricating the memos he gave Mueller: ‘Can we call them Fake Memos?’](http://theweek.com/speedreads/761644/trump-accuses-mccabe-fabricating-memos-gave-mueller-call-fake-memos) Sigh. Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump _“Spent very little time with Andrew McCabe, but he never took notes when he was with me. I don’t believe he made memos except to help his own agenda, probably at a later date. Same with lying James Comey. Can we call them Fake Memos?”_ I have a nest of baby birds in a hanging basket outside my window. When I read stuff like this, I picture those little birdies with their beaks open wide, eager for whatever the Momma Tweeter drops in there. ---

You’re placing a lot of confidence in Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell doing the right thing. Pretty sure we’d see some grumbling, maybe a committee heading, and then fuck all done.

I’m pretty sure it can’t be done here in Europe ( then again we’re all Socialists here, so… ) Technically, he was still on the payroll until his retirement date, which would have been today. He had just accrued enough paid vacation time to stop working earlier. So he would have retired, gotten his last paycheck for that vacation time and been eligible to start receiving his pension. ---

Amen to that. McConnell refused to hold hearings for Pres. Obama’s Supreme Court nominee when Obama was the fucking president. This was before Trump. Remove Trump from the picture and you’re still dealing with morally bankrupt bastards. ---
