Exclusive: Ex-Prosecutor In Moldova Targeted By Grenell Dishes On New DNI | Talking Points Memo

Just when you think RWNJs have fully plumbed the depths of shameless insanity - and hit rock bottom - you can rely on the fact that there is a deeper crevice just ahead, and a crazier, even more shameless claim on the way.

Thanks. I thought there was a time limit on it.

I’m not sure Grinell will make it all the way to acting Head.

“He came out of nowhere,” Gofman told TPM, referring to Grenell.

Um, I thought that he came out of the closet.

Is there any way the followers of Limbaugh can contract a fatal strain of Corona virus and leave the sane population unaffected?

No, I didn’t think so.

So once again we’re hostages to these shit heads.

But it’s of a piece with what we’ve seen internationally. Given how infused the Right is with religious nuttery (“Only God decides when you will die,” etc., ad nauseam), this has a large religious component. And in South Korea (a country with a high-standard public health system) the virus is epidemic because it’s being spread by some obscure Christian cult. First, they’re into publicly proselytizing. Second, they refuse to initially identify themselves as cult members because the average South Korean doesn’t want to be hounded by some cultist. So they’re going out and spreading it incognito.

Italy: as I recall, jackasses like Salvini and his movement were against vaccinations. Anti-vaxxing is part of a sick mindset that endeavors to undermine public health measures, so there could be a connection with how the virus got a foothold in Italy.

Why does this sound like Flynn all over again? Maybe Trump’ll cut loose Grenell and pardon him later. Well, depending on if he squeals.

Would be funny if it weren’t going to be believed by his audience

It would be nice if the moderators of tonight’s debate, rather than trying to start another spat over Medicare4All, would ask how the candidates propose to remedy the hollowing out of national security, the IC, the State Department, etc. and reclaim captured agencies.

Hey, a girl can dream…

Yeah I’d like that too, along with some foreign policy questions.

“Hey! Leave us OUT of this.”

Yes, and as we are learning, we are not isolated from things like pandemics. Coordinating with other countries and the WHO is imperative. Trump has stripped our ability to provide our resources anywhere and seems more concerned about the stock market than the health of U.S. citizens.

In no other presidency would a guy this crooked and deep in dirt with our ENEMIES be given power over our intelligence agency.
Burn in hell McConnell.

So the dotard’s own Sec of State declares this oligarch too corrupt to warrant a visa to enter America but then the guy whose job it was to spin and burnish his image without reporting his affiliation under FARA is appointed to lead our umbrella intelligence org? Isn’t lobbying for a foreign government without reporting it part of what got Flynn convicted? What in the hell is going to happen next?

He is more concerned about the stock market right now because it affects his re-election chances. If the virus spreads here, he’ll start getting concerned about it because it will affect his re-election chances.
