Sadly the current playbook is the same as the last. Marginalise, demonise and demean anythiing that contradicts the Trumpian view of world order. You have to admire the level of effort that goes into their Maskirovka operation, almost as if they were taught be the 'masters'

. . . . enough said.

This is basically THE ONLY way the Republicans can win; lie about real life, smear the opposition, lie about the opposition, and try to distract from their own record.

One of the Trump sons posted a meme accusing Biden of being a pedophile. Then there's "Obamagate", where the FBI somehow entrapped Flynn into lying about his Russian contacts by cunningly asking him some questions. All Obama's fault, of course- I mean, people are expected to lie to the FBI, right? And it was Obama's administration when the intelligence services monitored some suspicious, off the books contacts between an American general and a Russian diplomat; obviously all a setup.

Sure he would have. He's a dumber peckerwood than his father. His idiocy knows no bounds and his white and economic privilege makes him think that he is untouchable.
