Actually encouraging Russia to attack a NATO country. Fucking traitorous bastard. It is sickening that we have to worry that this evil man might get elected. Makes me want to vomit. ---

Oh, I realized decades ago that individual is the maximum of despicability. The only question is _how will he manifest that now?_ And [here is the latest answer to that query](https://edition.cnn.com/2024/02/10/politics/trump-south-carolina-primary-haley/index.html): > **Trump attacks Haley for absence of her husband, who is deployed** > > Former President Donald Trump used a rally in South Carolina on Saturday to attack rival Nikki Haley in her home state — and to mock the absence of her husband, who is deployed overseas. > > “Where’s her husband? Oh, he’s away. … What happened to her husband? Where is he? He’s gone,” Trump said at his rally in Conway, his first visit to the state this year. > > Michael Haley is deployed in Africa with the South Carolina Army National Guard in support of the United States Africa Command, his second active-duty deployment overseas. ---

> [@EddyTeddyFreddy](#): > > Just when you think he can’t be any more despicable… Did he think “Gee, that “turning your back on NATO” sure played well when I was in office, I think I’ll double-down and actually encourage Russia to attack, and see how that goes!”. What an asshole. ETA: but for the first time in years, he’s managed to make his idiotic blather the lead story in the morning news. He may have gone too far this time. ---

The thing is that attacking Haley for this may sound idiotic and despicable but it _works_. Some percentage of his audience is unaware that Michael Haley is serving with the US military, so they think less of Nikki Haley. ---

Yeah, well a good portion of them know now. Hell, I didn’t know until the kick back from his stupid statements. But I’m doubly confused by the dig because … where the hell is Melania? Surely not on Guard duty in Africa. ---

It didn’t sway establishment Republicans, either. Neither will this latest threat to abandon NATO allies. Republicans like to act as though it was just Trump, but it’s them. (Except for the small fraction of them who support Haley, I suppose.) ---

No, the US Military is part of the Deep State. To MAGA folks the only “real” patriots are the ones who showed up on 1/6, or those that get in pickup trucks to harass minorities at the border, or who form white power militias in rural areas. That’s why his years-long contempt for the military hasn’t harmed his chances with his base one bit. ---
