Abandoning All Hope Jokes, Putin's Cartoon Nukes, Those Russian Whores Again...

So, Donald Trump's Communications Director, Hope Hicks is resigning, one day after facing questions from the Senate Intelligence Committee, and after she admitted to telling that she has told white lies for him... The Hopeless jokes are just beginning. Either she had been planning on retiring at the tender age of 29, or she just decided that she no longer wished to participate in the Trump Madhouse, and had to get out while she still had some dignity left, unlike the unlikeable Sara Sanders.

Hope came to the position, starting from being a fashion PR person for Ivanka Trump, then working on the Trump campaign where she showed how organized she could be, to working closely with Donald in the White House. Probably more than Ivanka, she had a calming influence... But she had a taste for bad boys, having affairs with the volatile Cory Lewandowski, and Rob Porter, who was accused of beating up both of his ex-wives. Did she continue that passive-submissive role in dealing with the Donald when he would be yelling and cursing at the day's news events? Who is left to temper the bad grandpa and spell-check his Twitter rants? Now she's looking for more meaningful secretarial work, where loyalty is prized over competence, and it includes a membership to Mar-a-lago...

There has been at least one staff member to resign for the past six days, adding to the 36 others who

have left during Trump's first year as President. This is not counting the lower level agents and analysts for the FBI, CIA, the State Department, who have all taken early retirements, and the over 200 job positions that were never hired, including ambassadors. Our Ambassador to Mexico announced yesterday that she was outta here...

Is this a case of rats leaving a sinking White House, or the fact that Donald Trump has surrounded himself with amateurs and incompetents who can't take the crazy-making atmosphere of Washington (it's even worse in Congress) and scrutiny of the 24 hour news cycle? We may not care, sitting comfortably in our living rooms, but everyone in Washington knows when Paul Ryan or Mitch McConnell farts💥, and the political meaning of each one... Donald may not have personally colluded with the Russians, but it looks like everyone else connected to his campaign was, including his dishonest son-in-law. Every day brings some new, jaw-dropping revelation, and the scrambling of Republicans trying to put a positive spin on things. you know, like a white lie or two... God only knows what will happen now that Donald is left to yell at his pillow, tweet back to Sean Hannity, and incoherently lash out at his staff and Attorney General, alas Jeff, why have you treated me so...

Vladimir Putin gave the Russian State of the Union speech last night, which was really his campaign speech for re-election as Prime Minister later this month. I didn't think there were any more businesses left for him to rip off, but I must be mistaken... Oh, right, he still wants to make Russia great again... Instead of bragging about the new social programs designed to lift people out of poverty, he touted his Syrian strategy, designed to kill off a few hundred more young soldiers in the name of patriotism. Most importantly, be told the world that he had developed two new types of nuclear missiles that could evade any current anti-missile defense, one a drone that works underwater, and two, a missile that flies lower, hugging the terrain and flying faster than ever before. He accompanied this with animations created seven years ago, and one sequence showed warheads falling on Florida and Mar-a-lago. Bigger, stronger, faster, sneakier, it looks like Vlad has to rely on Viagra and war fantasies to get it up these days... Which bothers me because he and I are the same age... And if you see any interviews with Putin, look at his eyes, how he never looks anyone in the eyes with his buggy blue ones, and how often he glances down and to the left, a universal tell that you are lying...

People have been wondering why Donald Trump still refuses to mention Vlad's name in any context with the news, posing speculation on just what information Putin has on him. My guess is that videotape Donald made in St Petersburg  when he went there for the Miss Universe pageant.

There may have been more than one tape made, but it has been previously reported that he hired two Russian hookers, who were state-sponsored, to come to his hotel room and perform golden showers on him and the bed. That means they pissed on him and the bed that had at one time been slept in by Barack and Michelle Obama. Would his evangelical base abandon him if he turns out to be a major perv along being a pussy-grabber? Could he have hired the notorious crew headed by Nastia Rybka, who have been photographed with oligarchs and cabinet members on yachts and at expensive clubs? She has been posting a lot on Russian social media, as well as hosting some anti-Putin candidates and the Oligarch Hunter on her website. She has written a book about her experiences, and has a couple of videos on Pornhub, including a non-sexual video stating her case, and has been moore  vocal and hysterical since landing in a Thai jail two days ago for escorting 20 Russian tourists on a sex tour not connected to the Thai mafia... Hmmm, the Russian mafia asking the Thai mafia to keep her out of Russia for awhile?
