Even after 2nd impeachment the past lingers; “Trump was the perfect target in a lot of ways: his vanity, narcissism made him a natural target to recruit. He was cultivated over a 40-year period, right up through his election.” so says the KGB. Together with the GRU they are very good at what they do.
Is anyone here really surprised? How many more morons did they ‘cultivate’? They walk among us. Meanwhile Facebook denies any role in the DC insurrection, despite evidence to the contrary.

Island Musings; The rugged outdoor woman who likes her balls.
During her annual medical check-up, the doctor asked a retired lady about her physical activity level.
The woman said she spends 3 days a week, every week outdoors.
He said. “That is good; can you outline a typical day?”
She responded; “Yesterday I took a five hour walk about 7 km through some pretty rough terrain. I waded along the edge of a lake. I pushed my way through about 2 km of brambles and nettles. I got sand in my shoes and my eyes.. I climbed several rocky hills. I had a pee behind some big trees and barely avoided stepping on a poisonous snake. Last week I ran away from an irate mother bear and last Monday I had to leg it again from one angry bull elk”.
Amazed by the story, the doctor said, “You must be one hell of an outdoors woman!”
“Well”, she said, “The mental stress of it all often leaves shattered. At the end of each day I usually have a triple scotch and three glasses of wine”.
The doc cautioned the lady on such excess and asked why she drove herself so hard.
The woman replied, “I’m just a really shitty golfer and I hate losing my balls”.
