Trump Guesses He Won't Send Michael McFaul To Putin's Gulag THIS TIME
'UGH' said the president, upon learning he cannot be a full-blown tinpot dictator yet again.
And now it is time for your weekly reminder that in the Trump era, FUCKING APESHIT OUTRAGE WORKS.
On Monday, Donald Trump, the transactional president who for some godforsaken reason sees Vladimir Putin has his one true father, discussed making an Art Of The Deal with Russia that involved letting Robert Mueller interrogate the Russian spies who hacked America in 2016 (with Russian supervision, of course, in Russia ) in exchange for sending Putin whichever American citizens hurt Putin's poor fragile butthurt pansy-ass feelings the past several years. One of Putin's targets is Michael McFaul, the former ambassador to Russia, whom Putin just hates . Hillary Clinton isn't on the official list yet, but give it a few weeks.
On Wednesday, Sarah Huckabee Sanders looked at reporters and told them Trump's people were considering the idea, but hadn't decided yet, because it's so hard for the Trump administration to decide how many treasons to do per week.
But hooray! The White House has decided that, after literally every American with a patriotic bone in his or her body said, "THE FUCK YOU SAY," they will not send Americans to Putin's gulag after all. The Washington Post reports:
The White House announced Trump's opposition Thursday as the Senate prepared to vote on a resolution telling the president not to honor Putin's request, which would have exposed former U.S. ambassador Michael McFaul, among others, to Russian questioning.
"It is a proposal that was made in sincerity by President Putin, but President Trump disagrees with it," White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement.
Oh my fucking Lord, Shuckabee, did you really type that Putin's offer was "sincere," or did Donald grab the statement after you finished with it and add those words in illiterate Sharpie in the margins, along with "DOES NOT MEAN PUTIN IS NOT MY BEST FRIEND" and "NO COLLUSION"?
By the way, that resolution passed the Senate with flying colors:
98-0. Bipartisanship is not dead yet in the US Senate. Thank you all for your support.

The trip is canceled. John Bolton just said so.
I suppose it had to happen. The wingnut horde of shrieking howler monkeys is saying in mindless chorus that Putin is justified in wanting to "question" McFaul (with burning pine splinters under the fingernails or electrodes to the groin initially?) They are highly suspicious of him because he was appointed ambassador to Russia by Obama. Maybe Barack Obama was sort of impressed by his immense qualifications in Slavic studies, Russian history, and his fluency in the language? Wouldn't surprise me. We all know nothing's beyond Obama.Said wingnuts have also discovered that McFaul is, in mindless chorus now, a Clinton lackey and George Soros hireling. What raises my rage to the point of incandescence (one of the things) is that I'll bet money these ignorant yoyos never heard of McFaul until now.Fuck them. I am vindictively hoping their disappointment over McFaul's continued safety eats into them like vitriol.
