Heard At A Bar Yesterday From A Trump Supporter.....

A guy was telling his friend that Trump is a double agent and he is surreptitiously working behind the scenes to bring down Putin.

I don't know where his idea came from - but these deplorables will believe and say anything.

OMG - we're in deep do do here!!!!! Incredible!!!!

Now when I talk to people I know are Repugs - I start with this question: Do you consider Putin and Russia our enemy?

That kind of shuts them up and makes them flummoxed.

a poll he would NEVER dare do

If you had to choose right now for prez and your choices were

Kamala Harris

or

an alive Adolph Hitler

who do you choose? If it was anonymous I guarantee Hitler wins that poll.

When the story finally and inevitably comes out, a lot of tRump supporters are going to be dismayed at the level of deception used on them. But for now, in order to save face for their gullibility, they have to grasp at some pretty flimsy straws.

It is as plain as the nose on our faces that tRump was involved up to his ears with Putin to put one over on the USA. Putin has bigger plans and tRump has convinced himself he will be rewarded by Putin for his part in the bigger plan. Putin, channeling his inner KGB agent, will string tRump along, all the way to the edge, where he will be unceremoniously cut loose. There is no fool like an old fool. And tRump, in this case, is about as big a fool as there ever was. He has let his ego and personality disorders lead him into a trap that won’t end well for him.

Honestly, if we were writing a spy novel, isn’t this the ultimate plot? Evil bad guy, Putin, recruits wanna be evil, bad guy tRump into a plot for world domination? Let’s cut to the chase here. This is headed for a cliff and trump won’t like the final chapter. He is in far too deep to get out now. The hardest part for those of us watching this play out is the stress of knowing these really are bad actors who don’t mind the collateral damage to our country’s way of governance in order to achieve their evil goals. The undermining of our highest institutions of government is happening daily and will take decades to repair.

tRump has miscalculated his relationship with Putin. He had better have a food taster because Putin would not hesitate to lace tRump’s KFC with poison just to shut him up and be rid of his sorry ass once and for all. He will let him put a few more things in place and then lower the boom on him. tRump needn’t fear Mueller. He only has the power to get him locked up. Putin has the ability and power to take him out to that big tRump tower in the sky. Think on that, Donald.

There was a time when I was scornful or simply dismissive. Now, though? I'm amazed they get through the day without walking into traffic or shoving forks into wall sockets. Who stops them from using plastic bags as a toy and placing their heads inside?

They are a marvel - albeit one that is more akin to the unimaginable carnage of human potential - but still a marvel.

A wonder of self-satisfied obtuseness.

They are paeans to glorified ignorance.

Scary, dangerous, and seemingly immune to all attempts of learning...anything. Anything at all.

But I could be wrong.
