Since the attack on Sergei and Yulia Skripal on March 4, many have asked why Russia so blatantly advertised their hand in the act, using a nerve weapon known to be their propriety work. Putin and the GRU are near waving at the world’s microscopes with a “Hi, Mom” sign. They’re obviously trying to send a message, but to whom?
Is it connected to Kirill Keimenov’s remarks on state television that “traitors” aren’t safe in the UK? Pointed ratcheting up with NATO? More plain Putin dickishness? All of the above?
Another burning question of the last couple of weeks has been something like, “Hey, am I imagining things, or is the current administration even more insane than its utterly bugged baseline?”
Maddow had a hypothesis tonight about why Trumpworld is increasingly “a full blender with the lid off.” She speculates that it’s Mueller’s having subpoenaed the Trump Organization’s business records in l‘affaire rousse that has brought the White House to the brink of “mania."
GF, half an ear on the show, said from the kitchen, “No, it’s the poison."
“What’s that?"
“The spy in the UK. He’s afraid it could happen to him. Think about it. Germaphobe. Goes to McDonalds unnancounced so they can’t poison him. Steaks cooked to leather. He’s terrified of being poisoned."
It’s true. It’s in all the profiles and biographies. Everyone knows it. Even the Russians.
Who just poisoned a father and daughter in a pizza parlor with a state-built nightmare nerve poison.
The president has always been one big, beautiful ball of personality disorders, but he has indeed appeared especially extreme of late. And I think my wicked smart GF might have figured out why.
The boss is fucking with him big time.
