jfc, does anyone in that family have an IQ higher than a carrot?

5694

Well, Vanessa Trump once said Trump was retarded. Of course, she married into the family.

5695

I want to see a competition between Trump’s sons and Flynn’s son to see who is the stupidest.

5696

It’s hard to beat the Trump boys. Flynn at some point was smart enough to climb rank in the military.
I’m fairly sure the Trump lads would die in Basic, probably by drowning in a puddle after it rained.

Perfect.

Glenn Greenwald trying to spin the latest revelation about Wikileaks and DJTjr as hard as he can, because seriously he’s starting to look as guilty as Assange himself.

5700

Greenwald got clowned pretty hard, for sure. He buried his head in the sand to deny he had been wrong. My estimation of him dropped considerably.

But how do you mean he is starting to look guilty as Assange? Is there something I missed that elevated his position from ‘double down on denial to preserve own sense of the world’ to ‘possibly complicit in conspiratorial unmaking of US democracy’?

Would love to see Kate McKinnon take the script and go through the whole thing as her imp version of Sessions.

Fox is gonna have a sad:

On Aug. 3 of last year, just as the US presidential election was entering its final, heated phase, the Russian foreign ministry sent nearly $30,000 to its embassy in Washington. The wire transfer, which came from a Kremlin-backed Russian bank, landed in one of the embassy’s Citibank accounts and contained a remarkable memo line: “to finance election campaign of 2016.”

That wire transfer is one of more than 60 now being scrutinized by the FBI and other federal agencies investigating Russian involvement in the US election. The transactions, which moved through Citibank accounts and totaled more than $380,000, each came from the Russian foreign ministry and most contained a memo line referencing the financing of the 2016 election.

The money wound up at Russian embassies in almost 60 countries from Afghanistan to Nigeria between Aug. 3 and Sept. 20, 2016. It is not clear how the funds were used. At least one transaction that came into the US originated with VTB Bank, a financial institution that is majority-owned by the Kremlin.

5708

Yeah, I kinda looks at this one a little skeptically. I am 99% certain that when the Russian finance their efforts against the West, they don’t annotate their money transfers to private banks with notes on what they plan to do.

2015-11-02 DEPOSIT $532.50 “For polonium-210 poison acquisition”
2015-11-03 DEPOSIT $23.74 “To buy tea set; must be able to withstand polonium-210.”
2015-11-05 DEPOSIT $1200 “Bribe for maid; tea delivery.”

5709

They might if they’re playing 14 dimensional chess!

5710

It would not surprise me in the least if they were actively trolling us with those notes.

5711

I believe Russia held parliamentary elections in Sept and the embassy staff gets to vote. (IOW I don’t believe it’s much of a story.)
