The Mueller March: Conservatives Head to the Barricades

snip//


Okay, listen, Manafort didn't just "join" the Trump campaign. He wasn't handing out fliers; he was the fucking guy in charge. And that's the goddamn point, isn't it? Manafort was a money-laundering scumbag who didn't give a shit who paid him.

Honestly, the only thing that makes the last year or so make any sense is if the Trump campaign was really a giant money-laundering operation and the Russians were just fucking with the American public to make sure that Hillary Clinton would be a weak president and they all bumblefucked into Trump winning, which was never part of the plan. It'd be a farce if Trump's actions didn't cause actual harm to actual people.

So, of course, if you thought Trump would lose, you'd get involved in the scam to clean your filthy Russian and Ukranian payoffs.

Maybe. Who knows really at this point.

But conservatives sure as shit want you to think it's nothing. Or, as Laura "My Soul Left Me Several Decades Ago and You Are Seeing My Human Husk" Ingraham put it, "It's a nothing-burger." Ingraham defended her Trump god, "The idea that this is a bad day for Trump because it in any way alludes to a collusion with Russia — you’ve got to be living on another planet if you think that. That’s just not what this is about...They don’t have anything on Trump. If they had something on Trump, that would be the indictment today. They would have something on Kushner or any of these other characters, but they don’t. So they go for Manafort and Gates." Which is counter to everything anyone who has ever been a prosecutor of big cases has said today. You go for the low-hanging fruit first and get them to turn on those on the higher branches who think they're safe from picking.

That's where we are with the pants-shitting conservatives. Clinton conspiracies, attacks on Mueller, and declarations that Trump is totally not involved. It's gonna be a wild and woolly ride from here on out. Gird yer loins, motherfuckers. Shit's gonna get nasty.

And, of course, Sean Hannity is going batshittier than usual tonight, having called Hillary "President Clinton." Goddamn, we wish, you dumb asshole. We wish.
