mystery around what a harvest of malice mixed with stupidity and sprinkled with cynicism would yield from Murdoch’s poisoned garden of lies, this moment brings a satisfying clarity. What Putin, Carlson, Trump and the rest share is a burning contempt for an idea called America — PolitiTweet.org

is disgraceful but not novel. Nevertheless, it remains jarring to see the contempt and hatred for American interests drip from the snarled lips of Fox News liars on Russian TV. After all, the real threat to global freedom is Justin Trudeau. Isn’t it? If there was ever any — PolitiTweet.org

Our white washed and Disneyfied history has obscured the autocratic tickle that has long titillated the American far right. There has never been a shortage of opportunists, cynics and true believers who have hitched their wagon to foreign autocrats. The Putin fetish in America — PolitiTweet.org

@mikepompeo are cheering for the Jack Boot. They are rooting for a man who has declared his unilateral authority to create nations, rewrite history, obliterate international boundaries and determine which nations and people are worthy of existence, all because he has a big table. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

The “ Useful Idiots” dominating @FoxNews prime time are lauded on state controlled media in Russia. @mikepompeo is an American Gerhardt Schroeder, a self dealing blusterer whose grift, vanity and ambition has twisted him into a smiling shill for Vladimir Putin. @TuckerCarlson — PolitiTweet.org

After the Battle of Midway the Chicago Tribune’s FDR hating publisher John McCormick revealed in print that the US Navy had broken the Japanese Code. It was treasonous. What has been occurring on @FoxNews in prime time is as equally despicable. — PolitiTweet.org

This woman, @EliseStefanik ludicrously sits on the Board of the National Endowment for Democracy. The crisis we are in is caused by a hollowness of faith, conviction and meaning. What a joke. The farce of it all would be comical if not for the real horror unfolding. — PolitiTweet.org

The United States should destabilize Putin by destabilizing the Russian elite. Make them pay the price. Financial, legal and immigration restrictions should be imposed immediately. Access to Western education should be shuttered to Russian nationals and Russian owned and flagged — PolitiTweet.org

5/ stood Trump. Predictable and steady. Our rancid and despicable Rock of Gibraltar, impregnable and immovable from the American consciousness. He has blighted the culture for more than 40 tedious years. In all that time, it wasn’t until he got to Washington DC that he found — PolitiTweet.org

4/ others saw the opportunity to rise in a world that valued loyalty and standing with the leader above all other conceivable considerations. An ideology formed that blended performative cruelty with malice, incompetence, extremism and dishonesty. Through it all — PolitiTweet.org

3/ by our adversaries. Trump fetishized the world’s strongmen and lambasted our allies. He was as indifferent to repression abroad as he was to democracy at home. He was a Buffon set loose upon the stage and everyone played their part. Fear and self interest motivated some while — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

2/ by Trump is lunacy. What Putin saw was strategic incoherence shaped by a vast ignorance of the world. He saw a whore in Trump who would sell out his country; her values and ideals for nothing but flattery. Trump’s conduct was a national embarrassment that was cheered — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

This is a world view I have never understood.👇 Trump is the most predictable person in the world. He is as predictable as the Sun setting in the west and rising in the east. There is no mystery around Trump. How could there be? The idea that Vladimir Putin was kept guessing — PolitiTweet.org
