Nicely Played, Mr. Putin!
Nicely played, Mr. Putin! Donald Trump was the perfect weapon to bring down the United States: He’s a human wrecking ball; a sadistic sociopath and a malignant narcissist. Where most human beings have empathy, Trump has insatiable greed, envy, and hatred. You identified a compulsive liar, a white noise generator you played like a well-practiced spymaster. Did you show videos of him screwing underage girls at the Miss Teen Pageants in Moscow? Did you play the videos of him on Epstein Island? …or did you merely hint at their existence and keep him guessing? Once you had Agent Orange by the short ones you spent a butt-load of bribe money to get him elected — but it was that old Putin magic, that “voodoo that you-doo” secret sauce that put Donald over the top: A recipe made with equal parts of pure evil, ruthless cunning, and sly media skulduggery. Well played, sir! From his election forward, all you’ve had to do is wind his mainspring, blow a little smoke up his fat ego, sit back, and watch the fun as he destroys Western Civilization!
Donald Trump was the perfect weapon to destroy America: A wrecking ball driven by a space-alien walnut-sized reptilian brain, its crude impulses cranked all the way up. For Trump, satisfying the demands of his mental illness occupies so much of his time and energy that he’s completely enslaved by his compulsive behavior. He’s a predictably destructive automaton compelled to savage the first unfortunate victim he bumps into before bouncing off and moving on to the next unfortunate victim …like a Roomba® working Studio 54. Nicely played, Mr. Putin, nicely played.
In Russia, organized crime is the third branch of government; in America, we’re almost completely ignorant of our own mob history. Oh sure, everyone has seen “The Godfather.” We know how organized crime works, alright, but we don’t know the real history. Most people don’t know anything about the takeover of Brighton Beach by Russian mobsters — mobsters who survived the gulags, each trained by the KGB before being allowed to travel here. Americans can’t seem to make the connection between Brighton Beach and Donald Trump’s father: Brighton Beach was a Gambino crime family set-aside for Fred Trump. It was his turf. Americans still don’t make the connection because they don’t know the history of the “Five Families” partnership with the Russian intelligence community. Nicely played, Mr. Putin!
The Orange Wrecking Ball divided our house into two ideologies, then smacked the foundation hard enough to crack it all the way through. America now stands agape waiting for the entire structure to come crashing down. We may not have to wait long: He’s weaponized the government against our citizens; destroyed our economy and credit rating; neutralized our intelligence services; purged our military leadership; depleted our defensive weapons; crippled our health and consumer protections; alienated our allies; partnered with our enemies …this is a very long list, so I’ll skip to the most painful part: He destroyed our credibility and respect on the World Stage.
“But Trump isn’t that smart,” you say, “and his judgment is terrible.” Actually, his judgment is non-existent and he obviously didn’t think this treasonous coup up all by himself. Yet, It’s unlikely that you, Mr. Putin, had to pay Steve Bannon, Russell Vought, or Stephen Miller to work for you, either. Rabid ideologues like those three stooges think their brand of nonsense is a noble cause. I’m not sure when seditious conspiracy became a noble cause, but the rest of the supporting cast you blackmailed or bought outright — the court justices, senators, and congressmen …well, you got a great deal on them. Traitors are a dime a dozen these days. While your “support team” was occupied with the heavy lifting, your wind-up wrecking tool was free to demoralize the nation full time. Trump is rumored to enjoy the occasional “Golden Shower,” and he’s been giving America a golden shower since he took office. He starting by lifting his hind leg and pissing on Benjamin Franklin’s Postal Service like a frat boy at a kegger, After he ruined the Postal Service, he turned to despoiling our National Parks, attacking the Smithsonian Museums, and re-decorating the people’s White House to look like a Louis XV whorehouse. He ripped up our Rose Garden and tore down the East Wing. He tried to seize control of our national heritage and our cultural centers. Demoralizing? Just wait: He’s planning to dominate the capital’s skyline with monuments and arches to celebrate …himself? Just wind him up and watch him go, eh Vlad?
Vladimir Putin has been called a World Class Master Poker Player …and I agree. Nicely played, Mr. Putin! Nicely played!
