Remember folks - the question that The Gadfly has been asking for the past several months on the pages of this shitty little blog - the question of how deep? As in, how deep does the ongoing onslaught of subterfuge of American democracy truly go?
Three events that have taken place in the past few days provide a fairly sobering answer to that question in The Gadfly's not-so-humble opinion.
Drumpf nominates Brett Kavanaugh to fill the Supreme Court (SCOTUS) seat being vacated by Anthony Kennedy. Anthony Kennedy's son Justin Kennedy spent a decade working for the International Criminal Bank of Mobsters (ICBM), aka Deutsche Bank. Deutsche Bank has a well known reputation of being the most favored "banking" institution of Russian money launderers. While at Deutsche Bank, Kennedy the Junior signed off on loans of over $1 billion dollars to Donald Trump - at a time when no U.S. banks would do business with Trump because of his shady business deals background, and a well documented record of spectacular business failures. Brett Kavanaugh clerked for Kennedy at the SCOTUS. Kavanaugh has a paper trail of writings expressing his idea that a sitting President cannot be subpoenaed or indicted because the President "is the law," intimating that the President is the only citizen, in a country of 330 million citizens, to whom American laws and justice do not apply to - the President is a King, if you will. But Hillary's emails - right?
There was another nomination. Drumpf also nominated a guy named Brian Benczowki - for the position of Assistant Attorney General in charge of the DOJ's Criminal Division. Benczowski was employed not long ago by another International ICBM called Alfa Bank. Alfa Bank is owned by a cabal of Russian oligarchs who have close ties to - - gee, like you all don't know . . . but yeah, Vladimir Putin. Guess who get's Rosenstein's job if he's fired? Guess who then oversees Robert Mueller's investigation and can fire Mueller?
Following along ok dear readers?
Lastly - Trump has gone to Europe - to meet with American allies. Remember kids - ally = good, not enemies, but our friends, mkay?
And so what does Trump do right off the bat, in a face to face meeting with the leaders of the countries who have pledged to fight by America's side if she were ever attacked? He berates our allies, lies about their NATO commitments, blatantly disrespects the allied leaders with bullshit and an ignorant buffoon's grasp of history, and sneeringly accuses one of our staunchest allies Germany of being a "captive" of Russia because they buy natural gas from them.
Jeebus fuck.
If you need some help figuring out what is going on here:
Why would a president who stands accused of conspiring with Russia to win election want to nakedly adopt policies that suit Russia more than his own country and that are opposed by our allies? Why would he want to have a summit with the Russian leader? Why would he want to have a private meeting with no witnesses present with that Russian leader? An innocent man would avoid making himself look so clearly guilty and a guilty one would be more deceptive. Only a captured man would act like this.
And it’s getting silly how far people will go to avoid facing up to that simple fact.

When are the people of this country going to wake up and smell the fucking coffee scented roses and acknowledge what is going on right in front of all of our faces?
Donald Trump is selling this country down the river to a murdering, Borscht swilling Communist, ex-KGB (no, the KGB are not "fine") thug and a bunch of Russian oligarchs, and quite probably, a few American ones as well.
It is also pretty apparent that some members of the Republican party, primarily in the House, but maybe a few Senators as well, are more than just passive enablers of the Putin/Drumpf ham-fisted coup.
Here's the main point that The Gadfly is trying to convey - every citizen of this country is going to be put in to an extremely agonizing position of having to choose a side here pretty soon, if of course that they haven't already made that decision.
It's unfortunate.
It's inevitable.
Choose wisely.
