Lots happening -- none of it good for Trumpsky!

So The Donald decided today to congratulate his buddy Putin by phone on his (fraudulent!) re-election. But the Washington Post tonight reports that, in fact, his national-security staff had briefed him on the planned call, telling him "NOT TO CONGRATULATE" [sic -- reportedly all caps in the briefing memo] him because of Russian bad behavior

Wow, I really do wonder how this will all end!!

And well you should wonder!

This is Wednesday, a. day after the events mentioned abive. Predictably, Trumpsky was much angered by the leak of details of his Putin phonecall. Whether it's the kiss of death for National Security Advisor McMaster, or not -- well, MSNBC guests on the topic tonight differed. Most discounted Trumpsky's actually firing anyone over this incident, but don't preclude it. For sure he WAS mightily embarrassed vis-a-vis his Russian controllers...

Actually, though, he was more thwarted by statements in the past day by several respected national-security observers, such as former CIA chief John Brennan who made a rare statement, characterizing The Donald's "fear of Putin" as a grave problem.

And his abject acceptance of Putin's wish for a face-to-face (which hadn't been mooted before the call) is being seen as a craven surrender.

This mess can only end with a bitter, divisive impeachment battle in Congress as soon as the Democrats overthrow McConnell, Ryan and Co. in November.

There is no alternative!
