… and he didn’t even have to kneel in the snow for three days. Color me not impressed!
This, from Billy Bush, on Trump & Bush's own personal reckoning, is remarkable: https://t.co/pkAOt9SiAh

NYT, two days from now: “Close friends of Trump have heard him suggest in recent days that Billy Bush might not be a real person…” https://t.co/YyctQpZxQr

3) This is the same doomed-faustian bargain that many politicians have made since 2015 and making now, in enabling Trump as he violates every personal & patriotic standard they claim to believe in.

6) BBush is now forthright about how calculating he was, and the damage he thereby both caused and endured.

In fact, Billy’s relationship to the Bush Crime Family is the only real point of interest, as far as I can tell. For all the vast social ineptness of various politically-oriented Bushes, they have demonstrated a keen sense of what the zeitgeist requires, whether that involves banking gold for the Nazi Party or volunteering to shoot down Japanese warplanes. If Billy thinks it’s time to make a public show of renoucing Donny and all his works, it’s a strong indicator that the Permanent Republican Party (such as it is, in these fallen days) still thinks it can shake off the Trump/”populist” (racist) stink with the aid of a few well-placed sacrifices. Since the Bushes have been intimately involved with the CIA since it was the OSS, one can but assume they have some knowledge of what’s been going on behind the Putin curtain…
