/14/17 – Happy Bastille Day and just how bad is it?


Trump has returned from France and yes, Lafayette we apologize. He engaged in more weird talk and creepy woman ogling but since he didn’t manage to start a war it could have been worse.

Meantime his son- the other stupid one, brains do not seem to be in great supply in this clan, seems to have left out that a man identified as a former Soviet Counter Intelligence officer was at the meeting. This makes things very interesting as this man – who has dual Russian US citizenship is rather falls within the working brief of our intelligence agencies as the FBI puts it ‘a person of interest’ so it’s quite possible there is a tape of this meeting out there somewhere

Meantime while the GOP frantically tries to move the goal posts – (there are getting to the point where they will start demanding to see a cancelled check and then bitch about the once said canceled check shows up) and I’m wondering just how bad is it- how far down does the rot go.

I’m afraid it’s pretty deep – and that it’s going to be quite a while before we find out how bad it really is. I think this in the end is going to make Watergate look indeed like a second rate burglary.

Why, because not only do I think we are going to find out that the Russians worked with the Trump campaign in order to get him elected, we are going to find out that various state gop organizations such as say Michigan and Ohio Wisconsin and Pennsylvania were also in on it and helped the Russians hack the vote so that Trump won. It’s going to turn out – I think – that the sans the hacking of the vote never mind the rest of the nonsense involved, Hillary won and won big.

Furthermore I think right now the major players of the GOP know this and won’t do anything because it’s bad for their side, they are okay with foreign intervention as long as it’s on their side.

And the Trump is totally dependent upon Russian money – indeed in the end he’s only a money launderer nothing else, a Gatsby on meth for the 21st century.

Of course if this is all true its going to be hard to deal with – one that it happened is bad enough, two that it was done with the willing cooperation not only of Trump’s people but of the GOP establishment in their nihilistic pursuit of power, and three they are going to dig their heels in and hid behind their base and insist they did nothing wrong or at worst the other side did it to.

This is a crisis that the founders never dreamed of – you  can impeach a president but you can’t impeach and entire party and that, in order to preserve the Republic as Cicero used to say long years ago, is pretty much what is needed.

It’s not just Trump, they are corrupt all the way down. I’m not sure we have the will to fight that.
