Our good friend Andy Borowitz nails it again
âI Was Never This Blatant,â Says Benedict Arnold in Hell
HELL (The Borowitz Report)âSaying that he was âflabbergastedâ by the events of this week, the Revolutionary War-era traitor Benedict Arnold offered a ringing defense of his own career in treason, asserting, âI was never this blatant.â
Trump: âIt was an incredible offer. Putin will help interrogate our people as well as his. He even offered to bring the snacks! Iâve heard great things about them, he says they killed at his last get-together.â
Trump really doesnât get that he has no means at his disposal to make something like this happen, does he?
Despite what suggestions Putin may have given him during their meetingâŠ
We will now know which Republicans are in Putinâs pocket.
The oneâs who do not protest this openly might be thought of as Russian operatives.
I think Pooty-Poot wonât be satisfied until his pet Donald wipes out all sanctions and hands over Americans for interrogation.
McFaul should be in some sort of witness protection program at this point.
This dimwitted traitor sits brooding hour after hour like Nixon, refusing to admit he had no idea what he was agreeing to, no idea what the shocking reality was, no idea how clueless he is about how the world really works, no idea what kind of fire heâs playing with. Because if he did it, if he dared to actually do the thing it seems he agreed to, it would mean weâre all prisoners of war in our own country, with no rights or norms to protect us.
American citizenship and innocence of any sane charge should be enough protection. Weâre waiting to find out if the fucking president of the United States can grasp that concept or simply understand the concept of no way JosĂ© ainât gonna happen.
Itâs not an âincredible offerâ until it includes steak knives.
It definitely has been like we are occupied by a hostile foreign power already.
I have a feeling it doesnât really, really work.
Mr President, there is a solution:
Fire Sarah - youâre tired of her anyway.
Secretary Sanders was not authorized to speak on this matter. Of course, the government of the United States would never allow an adversary to interview former diplomatic staff. Former Obama staff and the fake news media are creating a smoke screen to conceal the success of Our Leaderâs meeting with Our Beloved Partner Putin.
Would be interesting to see how the right wingnuts on the Supreme Court react to this.
Weâd get a second Dred Scott decision and the first one didnât work out at all.
But wait! Just pay shipping and handling and get a second set free!
The biggest problem with stupidity, as John Cleese noted, is that stupid people donât realize they are stupid because they are stupid. Otherwise known as the âDunningâKruger effectâ.
(Which at least proves I can find some half-remembered rambling on Wikipedia)
Yesterdayâs performance does not bode well for her continued employment.
But he will wait for a Friday, or a chance to abandon her on the side of the road somewhere.
âMost shocking and just lamentable, I think was my real reaction when the White House was given the opportunity to categorically reject this moral equivalency between (1) a legitimate indictment with lots of data and evidence to support it from Mr. Mueller, with (2) a crazy, cockamamie scheme with no relation to facts whatsoever â the White House refused to do that,â McFaul said on MSNBCâs âMorning Joe.â
Note to the former reality TV show host:
Number 1 above is not a Rigged Witch Hunt.
Number 2 above would absolutely be a Rigged Witch Hunt with pre-determined consequences of the most severe kind.
Agreed. And McFaul is an extremely articulate and saavy defender of his own rights.
âŠand I really hope that there are people who have a âplan Bâ on hand to protect him if need be.
This has extremely dangerous consequences in the real world for Ambassador McFaul and others:
-
Can they travel outside the US now, without fear of being snatched?
-
Can they pass any fourth-floor window now, without looking over their shoulders?
-
Can they dine publicly now â even in their own country â without fear of food or drink?
And what would Trump do if (G-d forbid) something should happen to them or their families?
Heâd blame the victim, and find some double-negative, logic-twisting lie to exonerate Putin.
This is not a legitimate Commander-in-Chief; his loyalties lie with a hostile, foreign nation.
Thereâs only one explanation, and it starts with âTâ and rhymes with âreasonâ.
