November 8, 2019 “And the one who curses you I shall curse”     Lech Lecha 12:3

Democrats, in 2016, foolishly and fatally permitted the Republicans to exploit the deceitful, counterfeit slander of “Benghazi” and today they’re improbably failing to exploit genuine mischief of, for instance, the swiftly released and deported Russian spy Maria Butina whose infiltration and coercion of Republican elites and the NRA abetted Russia’s pro-Trump election interference. Similarly, Dems are failing to exploit Trump’s betrayal of our Kurdish allies, abandoning eastern Syria to Russian hegemony and emboldening Hezbollah in Syria. Democrats, while seeming to disregard Trump’s hyperbolical characterizations of them as “scum”, etc., rarely utilize truly ingenuous depictions of Trump as “liar”, “groper”, “deadbeat” and “Putin’s puppy” almost as if endorsing his vile conduct. Benghazi? How about “Butina” or “Betrayal”?
