Oops.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) posted a 30-second ad on Monday that praised President Donald Trump for “getting things done” despite the House impeachment investigation into Trump’s misuse of U.S. foreign policy, which includes Trump pushing a conspiracy theory about Ukraine propagated by Russia.

It’s called “vertical integration”. Money is from Russia. Candidate is from Russia. Policy aims are from Russia. Why shouldn’t the stock footage be, too?

It totally makes sense, since the money to play the ad also came from Russia.

Is moving from “train wreck” to “airplane crash” really an upgrade?

Sweet relief?

At least that’s what went through my mind once when the Aeroflot flight I was on landed in Moscow. Apart from my group, almost everyone on board was a fisherman and, well, let’s just say they didn’t care who knew it.

Make no mistake…the gaslighting nature of doing it in your face is deliberate. McCarthy is a semi-sentient troglodyte but he has advisers and people around him who know EACTLY what they’re doing.
