Wonkette: Russian Media Jizzing With Glee Over Trump's America-Destroying Idiot Cabinet Picks

https://www.wonkette.com/p/russian-media-jizzing-with-glee-over

As Donald Trump began naming nominees for his Cabinet in his second term — especially the national security, defense and intelligence sectors — it was clear that those happiest with his selections would be his sponsors back in Russia.

Oh boy, these people were such freaks, incompetents, and compromised agents, the Kremlin would have to declare a national holiday for giving itself golden showers in Red Square and yelling “Da! Da! Da! Da! Da!” (That’s how you express joy in Russia, you make pee tapes and give them to the government for its archives.)

Pete Hegseth, who is still the nominee for secretary of Defense despite his utter lack of qualifications for the job, his credible rape allegation, and his mother’s email about what an abuser of women he is, is but one example. That stuff is just bonus material for Russia, which is likely most excited by the fact that Hegseth believes Russia was totally justified in invading Ukraine for zero reason, because Hegseth believes it’s Vladimir Putin’s “give me my shit back war.” Hegseth buys Putin’s Russian propaganda version of history, because we guess he wasn’t educated well enough to know any better. Hegseth buys Putin’s version of the truth about NATO, because, again, he’s too uninformed to have any other better ideas.

Then there’s nutbag conspiracy theorist Tulsi Gabbard, an actual Russian stooge, who has never encountered Russian propaganda she didn’t ask for seconds of, who Russian TV has already described as “our girlfriend Tulsi.”

Judging from the reactions from Team Bear, not so much. I’d say that the feedback from the Russian Federation is much more accurate than the hoopla from right-wing American propaganda organs.
