"We do not have to invade the United States. We will destroy you from within."
- Nikita Khrushchev, multiple times during the 1950s and early 1960s
There was a time when every counter-espionage agency we know of and some we don't would be shadowing Moscow Mitch McConnell 24 hours a day. Not anymore, obviously. And, Christ, you think a weeny little Casper Milquetoast like Merrick Garland will do anything? Yeeaaah, riiigghtt.Â
In case you were ever so naive that you wondered why Moscow Mitch was so gung-ho to make sure his treasonous Dear Leader cohort wasn't convicted in his not one but two impeachment trials, it clearly wasn't just about judges. The reason is more obvious now than it ever was, and in case you just shrugged off all the evidence as to Trump's massive disloyalty so far, Mitch's buddy Traitor Don has jumped in all the way now by claiming he recently had a conversation with the unnamed leader of an unnamed "big country" who allegedly asked if the U.S. would help defend his NATO-allied country if Russia attacked them.
 Â
I said:'You didn't pay? You're delinquent?' No, I would not protect you. In fact I would encourage them (Russia) to do whatever the hell they want. You got to pay your bills.
It doesn't even work that way. The 31 NATO nations have defense spending "targets" filled with variables. They don't have membership fees. They don't pay dues. It's not a damn tennis or golf club like Mar-a-Lago. Still, the above quote was spoken like the mob boss that Trump has always wanted to be. And who is this demented Orange Menace To Society to bring up the subject of paying bills; something he's evidently never done in his entire evil life. Then, on Wednesday, He even doubled down on his treaty breaking comments. Of course, treaties are laws and goons like Traitor Don and his followers have never met a law they didn't want to break.Â
I bet Donnie's little fanciful story brought an extra smile to the face of his chief $enate lieutenant Moscow Mitch, in a Mission Accomplished sort of way, of course. And, yeah, it's not just troglodytes like Marco Rubio, "Ted" Cruz, Lindsey Graham, Tommy Alabamy Tubbervile** and the rest of the Senate made men, made women and wiseguys. We already know about several of the Russian oligarch mobster types being connected to these filth but it will probably be years before we know what the exact purchase price for their loyalty was. In fact, of course, depending on any future elections, we may never know.
Obviously for Vlad Putin and Moscow Mitch, it's a dream come true to have the leader of the Republican Party operating openly in American society as a stateside Russian operative. Do you really think Moscow Mitch didn't see this coming? Really? Hell no! He's not dumb. He's always known his boy Trump is a fellow traitor and that's why he's always protected him. There can be no other sane reason, and any excuse offered by someone of his ilk is just camouflage. Same for all those other $enators who did their "Duty For Vlad" and voted to keep Trump around for future use when they voted not to convict him. They could have easily banished their beloved Traitor Don from the scene but they but didn't. They knew this day would come and they still hope for much, much more. For them, Poland, Estonia, Finland, Romania, the Czech Republic and every other NATO country are on the menu. A multi-level operating devious little worm like Mitch McConnell can spew all the camouflage he wants about despising Donald Trump but, as I've always said, only the bottom lines of McConnell's actions count. They are what truly tells the tale. Some might even point to the $enate passing a bipartisan bill to aid Ukraine and others to rebut me but it's oh so easy for Moscow Mitch to do that bit of fakery when he knows that he's got another Moscow boy over in the House running that shitshow and standing ready to do whatever lord and masters Putin and Trump want. Calls were made. Congress took a vacation. Nothing was done. People are dying all over the country and the world. Life is good when you're a psychopath.
** If you have time to take a look at the Tubbervile clip in the link above that I've provided, you will be left wondering not just how you teach an Australopithecus to speak English but also why 2/3rds of Alabama just doesn't self-deport to Russia. Presumably, they think they'd be much happier there. Let them go. One condition, though: Once they leave, they cannot return. See how kind I can be?

Parting Shot: Which is worse, Joe Biden's age or an insane Traitor Trump wanting to turn NATO nations over to Putin to "do whatever he wants" with them; you know, like Hitler did with Poland. Hey, I know, let's partition Berlin again, too! And don't tell me RFK, Jr. or Cornel West is a sensible alternative. I'd love viable alternatives all over the ballots but Kennedy leaves no doubt that he's insane every time you even look at him and it's only a matter of time before we find out the opportunistic West, who flits from political party to political party like a brain damaged butterfly hooked on pesticides, went to Moscow with Tucker Carlson or something. I'm not about to forget that scene of Jill Stein, Mike Flynn and Putin breaking bread together in Russia or my own Working Families Party here in New York selling out to Chuck Schumer. It seems no third party can resist the corruption of cash, just like their bigger brethren. On top of that, they're not even 5% as effective. Pointless. Right now, third parties are just a cynical propaganda ploy designed to hasten a bigger and stronger reich. Now we even have a complete douchebag named Joe Manchin wanting to get in on the money and ego action. The man needs a bigger yacht for his expanding gut, I guess. Fool me once...
Parting Shot 2: I'm not exactly hearing any sadness or regrets from republicans about the fact that their leader in Moscow murdered Alexei Navaldny, the leader of his opposition but I'm not at all surprised being as they're constantly trying to incite violence here, and I don't mean just J6. Whether its the mass-murderers in Buffalo and the Trump-inspired murders in El Paso or Rudy Giuliani's attempt to get those two election workers in Georgia killed, it's all the same.
And Another Thing:Â It's President's Day. What happened to this guy?
