Trump’s weird reference to “CrowdStrike” during the Ukraine call, briefly explained
Trump still thinks his own intelligence agencies are wrong about who hacked the DNC — and he wanted Ukraine’s help to prove it.
At times he sounded like like somebody did tranq him with a dart gun.
So are big bad brave Republicans still making fun of 16 year old Greta Thunberg today? That’s been quiet, huh?
To me he always sounds like he’s been tranq’d.

I just saw a composition of tweets,
@realCFSG
PRESIDENTIAL HARRASSMENT!
@jenerous
What were you wearing?
Individual 1:
“I know a lot of people from Ukraine. They’re great people. I owned something called the Miss Universe pageants years ago … we had a winner from Ukraine … it’s a country with tremendous potential.”
There has never been a Miss Universe from Ukraine.
Slavery is States Rights
Maybe he meant his next future ex-wife
New York Times reporter Peter Baker:
"Trump says Europe hasn’t done enough to support Ukraine.
US aid from 2013-17: $1.3 billion plus $600 million in security assistance.
European Union aid since 2014: $16.5 billion.

Individual 1 says reporters should investigate Mike Pence.
The whistleblower complaint has been declassified, and may be released as early as tomorrow (Thursday), three sources have told CNN. I recall reading that it will be ‘lightly’ redacted.
He was probably thinking about Junior Miss Universe, walking in on the contestants in various states of undress, seeing the lass from Ukraine, and said to himself, “That’s a winner there!”
Note: I have absolutely no idea if there is such a contest as Junior Miss Universe, nor do I care.
I’m fairly surprised that there wasn’t something like that on the telephone call.
" I’ve always liked the Ukraines, lots of beautiful women."
True. Totally true. And also amusing. 
But in fairness* to Future Disgraced Former President Trump, there was a First Runner-Up from Ukraine in 2011. You could call First Runner-Up “a” winner. And I don’t remember … much of anything from 2011, myself. (But then again, I didn’t have “CALL PRESIDENT OF UKRAINE” on my calendar and a bunch of interns to research small-talk nuggets for me, neither.)
This is not a hill worth defending at all, in my judgment. There are so many other, far worthier hills.
*I know that that’s an asymmetry. I like to think I’m a better person than Future Disgraced Former President Trump.
Okay, how about a test.
Trump said “I know a lot of people from Ukraine.”
At his next live press conference, he should be asked to name three Ukrainians.
I’d be willing to bet money he couldn’t do it.
And he’ll say he was just kidding. Or will promise to pay you the wager and you’ll never get it. 
I tried to do it and came up with Sergei Prokofiev, Eugene Hütz and Verka Serduchka. I apparently have very eclectic tastes in music.
For Trump, we may have to settle for “Find Ukraine on a map without just drawing it in with a Sharpie”.
