The sins of the father embraced
FOTP News in Review. A cheap off the old block.
On this morning’s episode, we head back to last Saturday night and the tinny, recurring pissiness of one of the president’s kinder.
For the love of the idiot son
“There is a little bit of sweet revenge in it for me and certainly probably the family in a sense that if they wouldn’t have done this, this stuff would be going on. This would be going on at the highest levels of government,” Trump Jr. said. “They’d be continuing doing it to my father, trying to undermine his actions. Imagine how effective he can be — given the year he’s had — without this cloud over his head.”
Revenge ain’t what it used to be.
Anyway, that was Donald Trump, Jr. on Watters World explaining why the release of the 4-page Nunes’ memo was actually good news for his family, an assertion which prompts anyone with a gag reflex to wonder what planet this guy is from.
The answer, of course, this one.
“Sweet revenge”? “Totally vindicates”?
Father and son should be under a concussion protocol.
One expects the Trump family to spin the memo to their advantage, but to suggest the release of it is somehow a victory for the family — with or without the quotation marks — should have caused, even for this brood, vertigo, nausea and pink eye. The heavily edited memo didn’t even prove what the heavy editing was designed to prove.
Probably also didn’t help that Carter Page, the subject of so much of the Nunes shonda, turned out to be such an imbecile.
“Over the past half year, I have had the privilege to serve as an informal advisor to the staff of the Kremlin in preparation for their Presidency of the G-20 Summit next month, where energy issues will be a prominent point on the agenda,” the letter reads.
And it’s not just me saying it.
Mr. Podobny was picked up by the authorities on a wiretap calling Mr. Page an “idiot” to his Russian intelligence colleagues.
Certainly sounds like the kind of guy you want on your foreign policy team.
And, hey, come for the imbecility, stay for the paranoid religious persecution.
For months, Mr. Page showed up regularly, uninvited and unannounced, at the secure offices of the Senate Intelligence Committee on Capitol Hill, where he dropped off documents he had compiled himself. One was his own dossier in which he claimed he was the victim of a hate crime by the Hillary Clinton campaign because he was a Catholic and a man.
The cloud isn’t just over your father’s head, Don Jr., he’s Joe Btfsplk.
Tell you what: Let’s drop all the Fredo Corleone references, shall we, when referring to the president’s oldest son, for as Michael Corleone reminded us, Fredo, while stupid, also had a good heart.
Junior is just stupid.
