All these fantasists. They glom onto Trump because they recognize him.

Do America a favor, slap the next man you meet who claims something, whatever, is ‘in the history of our country’.

Slap them with a fish. You’ll be fine. They’ll be too embarrassed to call the cops. And the cops will be too busy laughing anyway.*

He couldn’t come right out and say he was working for Rudy, now could he?

Yes. Trump attracts remoras, bottom-feeders, and fantasists. And many are willing to be violent.

There’s a lot to this story we don’t know. To what extent were they tracking Yovanovitch? Who else was involved and who gave the orders?

There’s been a sinister undertone around Yovanovitch’s rapid departure from Ukraine, and as Trump has been quoted as saying “take her out”, we need to know how high this threat of violence against her person went.

And if he was impersonating a federal officer, time to arrest him.

There are an awful lot of white guys out there dying to use the words “ops” and “target”. I listened to an interview with one of the organizers of the Virginia guns rights rally the other day and he could not have been more deeply into the notion that he was some kind of heroic patriot organizing other patriots for an “op”. These guys are all laughable until they aren’t - is this what happened to all of the Elks, Masons and Moose Lodge morons? Are these guys the Shriners of the 21st century?

They don’t rise to the level of actual Comic-Con COSPLAYERS. They don’t have the discipline required.

de Caluwe told NBC News he had “no connection” to Ukraine despite having a romantic relationship with a Ukrainian woman.

Has Maria Butina been seen in Kyiv recently?

I just want the appropriate agencies to PLEASE guard this modern American hero’s life and welfare until this all blows over. She has done so much for country and we need to do at least this for her.

This cosplay loser so rarely has sex, he goes to Starbucks just to hear the barista yell out his name.

-don’t suppose Trump was asking his buddy Kim Jong-un for some of that North Korean “Facial Cream” … hear it has amazing ‘vanishing’ capabilities.

Someone must know by now if this guy has ever actually been to Ukraine, and speaks Ukrainian or Russian. Because otherwise it’s cosplay, larping, and the usual trying to make a buck from the Trump orbit.

Yep. If this was sold around Hollywood as a screenplay, it would be laughed out of the entire State.
