Vladimir, I hope you're listening

Hi Vlad, how's my little buddy?  Do you remember when I asked Russia if it was listening to release Hillary's e mails.  You responded by delivering hacked Democratic e mails.  A perfect response.  So now I want recipacate.  (spelling is my strong suit.)  I want to give you some great advice. 

       Here in America I am going through some things.  Not to worry, the fix is in.  But I thought it might be  a good lesson for you to keep in that KGB brain of yours.  Do you remember how your idol Joseph Stalin had show trials.  The defendants were convicted before the trials ever started.  We have a different system at the moment.  My trial is fixed so that I will be  found innocent  before the trial ever starts.

        We both know that you control the biggest kleptocracy ever created.  How I envy you.  But  imagine if some hot headed pencil necked prosecutor tried to bring you down.  The Russian system always convicts.  We have a better way.

  

         We got the idea from a bunch of Republican state attorneys general.  They filed a lawsuit to abolish Obamacare.  The lawsuit was filed  in Wichita Falls Texas.  Wichita Falls is the 38th most populous city in Texas.  The Wichita Falls federal court has exactly  one judge,  Reed O'Conner.  He is a right wing buddy of John Cornyn and is high on my list for Court Of Appeals appointments.  So the lawsuit gets filed and is joined by 20 Republican attorneys general who would not be able to find Wichita Falls using GPS.  They never have to set foot in Wichita Falls.  They merely sit back and let O'Connor throw out Obamacare.  So the fix was in.  Isn't this legal system great? 

        Now  a crazy lady named Pelosi and her flunky named Shifty have started impeachment proceedings against me. They had hearings in Congress.  I screamed and yelled that there was no due process.  Of course that's a lie, but who cares.   I claimed that I could not call witnesses even though I refused to let any of my people testify.  I claimed  that there was no evidence even though I refused to turn over thousands of documents Shifty had subpoenaed.  I claimed  that they wouldn't let me participate even though they invited my lawyer to participate.  Please take note- this is most important.  If I  tell the same lie over and over, my  MAGA supporters will not only believe it, they will embrace it.  They think that it is a communist plot to call me a liar.

      Now the impeachment goes to the Senate.  My buddy Moscow Mitch runs that place.  He has already announced that he is working in close cooperation with me.  He is trying to figure out whether  to   have a trial, or if he does, whether there will  be any witnesses. I will get back to him on that question. His right hand  man Lindsay Graham has already announced his verdict.  Moscow and Lindsay  will violate an oath at the start of the trial which requires them to be fair and impartial.    Oath, shmoath, I have them in my pocket.  I gave Moscow Mitch's wife a high profile job which helps her  increase her  family fortune.  Lindsay gets to ride on Air Force One all the time and then I give him reduced rates for golf.  The rest of the Republicans in the Senate are so frightened of being at the wrong end of a tweet storm that they will never vote against me.  I have MAGA operatives ready to demonstrate  against them in their home states.

     I am going to come out of this impeachment hoax smelling like a rose.  I have already ordered millions of shirts saying either "impeach Pelosi" or "impeach Schiff".  The ships are on their way here from China.  Some so called ethics experts claim I should not make a profit on the shirts.  No problem.  The importer is owned by my worthless sons.

        Vlad we have been able to get your invasion of Ukraine to be considered an attempt by Ukraine to interfere in American elections.  How can people be so dumb.  Vlad, life is good whether in Russia or America.  Let's get together at that beautiful resort I am building in Russian Crimea.  By the way I could use some Russian financing.  I'm a little short of cash since I am on a limited salary.  Take care my little Bolshevik

                                                              Your pal Donnie.

tRUMP's disgusting speech

There was blockbuster news from this weekend and today.  I will do separate pieces about today's impeachment hearing and today's Justice Department's inspector general's report.  I will restrain myself by  trying to keep the pieces relatively short.  I could write a book.  In addition there was the shooting at the Pensacola naval station by a Saudi. tRUMP publicized the Saudi leader's statement that the Saudis love America.  They certainly proved their love by doing 9/11.  They reinforced their love by officially ordering the murder and dismemberment of an American journalist.  And the Pensacola shooter finalized the love.  And tRUMP continues to suck up to Saudi Arabia.

        For now I will write about tRUMP's disgusting speech to  a group named Israeli- American Council.  This group has historically been slightly right wing leaning, but still has featured  speakers, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and Debbie Wasserman Schultz.  

        The organization took a sharp right turn when Sheldon Adelson infused a huge amount of money in 2013.  I could write pages about Adelson.  He is a particularly disgusting multibillionaire.  The difference between Adelson and tRUMP is that Adelson made billions from his gambling empire.  tRUMP squandered his empire.

          There is no bottom to tRUMP's vileness.  This is what he said to this Jewish organization (close to verbatim).  "  I'm in the real estate business like you.  I know you very well.  You'r not nice people at all, you're brutal killers.  You have no choice you have to vote for me.  If Pocahontas wins she will take 100% of your wealth. You will lose your money in 15 minutes."

         tRUMP went on to say that there are many Jews who do not love Israel enough.  We should get people out of our country in order to increase support  of Israel.

        So take his statement apart.  He resorted to two classic antisemitic tropes.  First, that Jews are evil, guided only by money.  Second, that only good Jews support Israel. This is blatant encouragement that American Jews if they are "good Jews" should have duel loyalty. Like the huge majority of American Jews, I deeply resent that anyone should suggest that my loyalty is  to a country other than my own.  

         He said non supporters of Israel should be out of our country.  This  statement is a poorly  hidden  repeat of his statement that people like Pressley, Tlaib and AOC should go back to the countries they came from.  

       In one short moment tRUMP offended both Jews and Native Americans.  The condemnation  by Jewish and Native American organizations was swift and strong.  I am reminded about the speech tRUMP delivered to AIPAC during his campaign in 2016.  In that speech tRUMP made inappropriate disgusting claims about President Obama.  The next day, in a tearful press conference, the president of AIPAC apologized for tRUMP's statement.  Nothing stops tRUMP.  He went on to give a totally inappropriate speech to a boy scout assembly.   And three years later he does the exact same thing. Chastisement has zero effect on this sociopath.

          Throughout our recent history a huge majority of American Jews have  supported Democrats.  In the past I accepted that there is a minority of Jews who were politically conservatives.  As with other things, tRUMP has turned our country upside down.  tRUMP, by any measure is a despicable human being.  I cannot accept that any Jew could support a bigot who separates children from their parents.  Jews have experienced child separation.  At  the Israeli American speech Jews gave  rousing cheers to tRUMP's patent antisemitism.  How is it possible that they cheer a man who just called them brutal killers?   It is a frightening question.  The answer will be that in 2020 Jews will reject tRUMP by a 2 to 1 ratio.

           I know I am preaching to the choir.  I remain convinced that we should not allow tRUMP's malevolence to go unanswered.  There is a pretty good chance, that I will continue to comment on the traitor.  As always, thanks for listening.
