June could be a very good month but there will be limitations on milage given the hyperactive historical moment.

OT: Newsweek says it has a U.S. intelligence report that says Putin has a very advanced case of cancer and that there was an assassination attempt on him.

I wonder if FOX News will cover it? I think Tucker Carlson is on at 8:00 Eastern, will they preempt his show?

I read it. Very vague on the details, and where it makes comparison with the “wrong” intelligence leading up to the second Iraq invasion, fails to mention that the administration in power was demanding wrong intelligence.

Well, Newsweek is pretty much a rotting corpse of what it once was. But it’s a known venue and these speculations have been rampant for many weeks. Also his behavior and appearance are suspicious. Long story short, who knows? Lots of people but not us.

Who leaks to Newsweek these days.

Reads more like a planted story, whether to draw out our leakers, plant something to reassure the russians that they’ve got some solid source in our gov’t or the like vice a solidly sourced story all on its own.

Someone wants russia to think that we’re thinking that he’s got terminal cancer.

If Putin dies could Trump get his job, I have no doubt Trump will apply.

After all, the best part of Trump being president is that Putin is no longer the most powerful man in America. And NO I am not joking.

My guess is Putin has or had better employees who will get promoted over Trump, but Trump may get some consideration.

I’m gonna go way out on a limb and suggest that nobody in the Russian government has anything but the most lively contempt for Donald Trump.

How can they present a summary of their findings when they’re still proceeding to subpoena people and there are plenty of participants they have yet to talk to?

Ukraine released a similar report a couple of weeks ago, but with no assassination attempt, Just a coup a brewing.
